Fred Cramer, a U.S. Chess Federation official, said, "I didn't want to upset Bobby's metabolism by waking him up." In New York, meanwhile. Col.

E.B. Edmondson, director of the U.S. Chess Federation, said if Fischer or Spas-. sky fails to show up for Thursday's match the title should go to the other by default. He said that if neither showed up, "the title should be declared vacant and they should start all over." He said he was expressing his opinion as a member of the five-man advisory board of FIDE.

"This has gone far enough," Edmondson said. "You cannot go on with this kind of charade." The waiting for Bobby ended at 6:48 a.m. Tuesday when his Icelandic Airlines plane taxied to a stop at the airport five hours and 12 minutes before Euwe's dis-qualificaon deadline. He stayed, out of sight in the plane until two lines of police formed a wall to seal him off from newsmen so he would not have to answer questions before he got in a waiting car. The tall 29-year old grandmaster lurched out the door of the plane and careened down the steps of the ramp.

He nearly bolted when the president of the Icelandic Chess Federation came up on his blind side and offered a welcoming handshake. He was driven away to the green and buff colored villa under an escort of police cars. A stewardess said Fischer hadn't been able to sleep during the 4-hour, 40-minute flight from New-York. "He spent most of his time looking out the window," she said.

9:30 am REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Now it's Boris Spas-sky's tum to say no and the world chess championship is off again. The Russian titleholder launched his counterattack Tuesday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two-day postponement of the start of the match with American Bobby Fischer. Fischer slept through it all. He had arrived in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for 5 p.m. When Fischer woke up he found that the title series was put off until Thursday at the earliest.

It was to have begun last Sunday. Summing up the day. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here Fischer doesn't come. As soon as Fischer comes, Spassky runs away." The Russians turned up in force at noon for what was to be a drawing of lots to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener. They refused to draw with Fischer's second, a Roman Catholic priest, the Rev.

William Lombardy, and read a statement calling Fischer's delaying holdout intolerable. They protested Euwe's decision to tolerate it. When Fischer failed to appear Sunday as he should have, Euwe allowed him until noon Tuesday to show up in Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky. Fischer's refusal to come by Sunday was based on a dispute with the organizers over money. The argument was settled Monday when British financier James Slater offered to sweeten an already record pot with a donation of 50,000 British pounds-about $130,000.

Fischer said he would play. The Russians said Tuesday that Fischer had violated the rules of the match. They wanted an apology. Euwe reported they had some harsh words for him as well. "I'm a bad boy," the 71-year-old Dutchman said with a smile.

Spassky read his statement from what looked like an official document in Russian. It created the impression that he was acting on Moscow's orders. A dispatch by Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said Spassky had demanded that the International Chess Federation known as FIDE take some punishing measures against Fischer on the grounds that he had violated the rules for the match. It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken. Asked about the Tass report, Euwe said no formal request for punishing measures had been received.

Besides, he said, "what should I do? Put him in the corner?" During the days of dispute and bad temper which preceded Fishcer's arrival, Spassky had been the picture of courtesy and understanding. When approached by newsmen he had no bad words for Fischer, a man he respects as a chess player. All he would say was that "I came to play." There was another indication that Spassky's moves were being plotted in Moscow. After an attempt to come to terms with Fischer's people at a private meeting Tuesday afternoon, Spassky and his second, Ye-fim Geller, drove grimly to the Soviet Embassy, presumably for consultations. Asked what Fischer's opin fashion Paiiit Smifis Russians Attend 4th Fete MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet government, apparently reflecting improved relations after President Nixon's visit, raised the level of Soviet attendance at the American Fourth of July reception.

The highest-ranking Soviet guest at Ambassador Jacob Beam's garden party was Deputy Premier Vladimir A. Kinllin. He was accompanied by two Cabinet ministers and Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily V. Kuznet-sov. The ministers were Nikolai S.

Patolichev, minister of foreign trade, and Vladimir V. Matskevich, agriculture minister, both of whose ministries have special interests in exchanges with the United States. For the past two years, the highest-ranking Soviet guest at the Independence Day reception was Mikhail Georgadze, secretary of the Supreme Soviet. Georgadze was again present Tuesday. Although the rank and number of Soviet officials had increased, the official attention was still below the level of the Khrushchev era when the premier and Communist party chief himself attended the reception.

There had been some speculation that because of the Nixon visit the Americans this year would attract at least a member of the Communist party Politburo. Politburo representation at national day receptions is normally restricted to Communist countries and those with especially friendly relations, such as Egypt and India.
