(AP) -George C. Wallace ended 54 days of hospiialization today with thanks to those who 'saved my life" and sped toward resumption of his governorship in Alabama and his quest for the presidency in Miami Beach. "I feel good, I feel great," Wallace declared. The disabled governor was lushed in his wheelchair to a limousine amidst the applause of several score spectators for a motorcade to nearby Andrews Air Force Base and the light south in an Air Force hospital plane.

Bui Wallace, wounded may 15 at a political rally in Laurel, first paused briefly to officials and staff members for care they accorded him. In an accompanying written statement at Holy Cross Hospital Wallace said, "Sister Helen Marie, the doctors, sisters and staff of the hospital will always hold a very dear place in my heart. They saved my life, and I wish God's blessings to all of them."

Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby. Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. At one news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say.

Yefim Oclter, Spassky's second, fielded queslions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment."
