"I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m.

Unless either the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes i 'PEOPLE 2 None Finer In All The World avid chess player, told anoth-er session of newsmen: "Money is putting chess on the map, because money makes the world go round." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says.

On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shop-p i bag as he moves soundlessly about the hotel lobbies. One final quote, from Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple." Thanks to a rich British chess fan who doubled the stakes, he didn't have to.

bled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first post-ponement when Fischer didn't show.

Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. Fred Cramer, who advanced a slender claim to represent Fischer and called a lot of news conferences, forecast like a man who ought to know: "I can't see Bobby apologizing." The letter began: "Dear Boris: Please accept my sin-cerest apology for my disrespectful behavior At another news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Ang-liski," or as you say in English, "No comment." The Rev.

Safety costs money, and they apparently are not willing to spend it. "Perhaps the loss of their, traffic to other carriers which put safety before prof-i will change their minds," he said. "In the long run, a down payment on security could be the best investment the airlines ever made." Bonner said that, although President Nixon ordered an increase in airport security four months ago and the airlines were directed to step up passenger and baggage screening measures, air crimes are still increasing. And he said there has been some progress toward more effective antihijack laws, both in Congress and on international fronts. "But, while these wheels have been set in motion, the brittleness of our domestic ground-security shield continues to be an open invitation for further acts of air piracy," Bonner said.

WASHINGTON (AP) An officer of the Air Line Pilots Association suggested today that travelers boycott air lines that are unwilling to spend enough money for strong ground security against hijackings. Al Bonner, ALPA first vice president, said a boycott of such air lines would bring about a definite improvement. He did not identify the air lines ALPA considers to have inadequate ground security. "Last month air line crews throughout the world stood up to the hijack menace in a one-day shutdown of air service," Bonner said in a statement. "The public, we feel, should stand up with us by refusing to fly on airlines that continue to put economic gain before the security of their passengers," he said.

"Many carriers are demonstrating a sincere effort to tighten their security," Bonner said. Michi Fire destroys auto agency City TRAVFRSF.
