"The whole theory of a hotel is a giant communal enterprise. But Bobby remains ivads news magazines, and has U'en known to buy Playboy.

STOP IN waits until 6:05. He swims three or four laps and leaves." says life guard Eddie Torres. Fischer also is the last one out of the niep's health club. "He's always in a comer, to himself," says Mike Farcus at the club, adding that Fischer can be a sore loser at table tennis, slamming down his racket when he loses. "It's usually 2 p.m.

when he gets up," says Lillian Sterc, staff chambermaid. "I knock on the door at 1:30 and then sit and wait on the stairs until he comes out He's polite and nice. And he's very good looking," she says, breaking into gigcles. Why did Fischer come to Grossinger's? It's a scene from his younger days, for one thing. "this was the first hotel he ever staved at." says an employe.

His mother, Regina Fischer, brought him to the hotel when he won the U.S. championship at age H. Today, Fischer is staying as the guest of the hotel. If he remains in his room, in the two-story Tudor-style cottage until June, he'll have the longest run of any guest on record. "I've met the greatest figure skaters in the world.

Florence Chadwick trained here. I've known great golfers like Sam Snead. They were as dedicated as Bobby but they've had other interests," says Paul Gros singer, chief executive of tht Grossinger Corp. Fischer does have other interests. He knows music.

Y. (AP) Hobby Fischer, America's hope for the world chess champion-ship, rushed into the vast, brightly lit dining rtxm at Grossinger's. a giant resort tucked away IntheCatskills. He's been ensconced for three weeks at the hotel, a sprawling cluster of recreational facilities, Ping Pong tables, pin ball machines, Pepsi dispensers, indoor miniature golf courses, swimming pool, ski slope and convention rooms, At age 29. he's poised for a crack at the world title in chess, a goal since the beginning of his brilliant, but uneven, career.

"What time is he asked sitting down at a small table Me was pale and his eyes were darker looking than usual. His hair was damp and neatly combed. He wore a blue suit black tie. printed with galloping red stallions. He'd made the 8 p.m.

dinner deadline by one minute. "He usually comes flying in, the last person in the dining room. He's always on the run," said the dining room hostess. If Fischer's running, it's partly from the tension. He challenges Russian Boris Spaasky for the title in a grueling 24-game match beginning June 22, in Belgrade! Yugoslavia.

The international chess world has shown extraordinary interest in this match. Some seven countries bid for it. Usually, there are only twoor-three bids. Prize money for the match is set at $138,500, with 72 Vj per cent to the winner. Fischer beat Tigran Petro-.

sian, Russian ex-world champion, in the semifinals. If he ixats Spaasky he will become the first non-Russian to hold the world title in 23 years and the first official American title holder. This is it. This is the big one for a man who's grown up obsessed with the complex moves of 32 chessmen around a checkered board. Fischer usually dines alone in Grossinger's banquet hall, filled with family-size tables, fake flowers, joking conventioneers, families with BOBBY FISCHER a solitary figure." says a hotel representative.

Solitude can be hard to-find in this active, noisy hotel, exuding "fun-time frolic and joie de vivre." A long-time meeting place for celebrities, potentates and politicians, it caters to conventions and arranges special singles weekends. But Fischer finds solitude, threading his way through a group of commercial photographers, with their blue, convention name tags. They have gathered after dinner around the grand piano to sing "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now." He walks by their exhibits of complex camera equipment and past the bar where guests are busy drinking Russian vodka. When Fischer is more relaxed, he's good company-quick, funny and interested in other people. But this weekend, he wasn't giving interviews.

He mostly stays in his room, saying in a soft voice, "I gotta study. I gotta study." Many hotel employes see him as a loner withdrawn, non-talkative, absorbed in his work, but still polite. He asked the maitre d'hotel how much he should tip. When left to decide for himself, he gave the man $100 and said to spread it around to the others. He got $55 back.

"He's a gentle boy." says the maitre d'. 'Church' Features Nude Acts, Beer That's what we all want in a President. Plain old backbone. Harry Truman had it. So did JFK.

So does Henry Jackson. We want our President to be strong. Not wishy-washy. Strong, firm, and fair. Too many big-name politicians in 1972 are ducking the hard questions.

Or they take one tack today and another tomorrow. Or they cave in to special interests. Or they cater to special friends. You never know where they stand. Henry Jackson is a different kind of man.

Honest as the day is long. Honest with himself and honest with the public. He tells you exactly what he believes. And he doesn't buckle under when the going gets tough. That's why Robert Kennedy wanted Jackson for Vice-President in 1960.

''What we're basically doing." he says, "is saying that people can go to church and still have fun. We're not up there preaching or this kind of stuff." James Kahan, a deputy city attorney, says.
