ALEXANDRIA DAILY TOWN TALK, ALEXANDRIA-PINEVILLE, SUNDAY. JULY 16, 1972 SfXTION A PAGE EIGHT Coming Out in Open Chief Arbiter Issues Ruling to Shed Terror Image Chess Game Is 'Go, Fischer or No Fischer IL By Ian YVestorgren REYKJAVIK Iceland (UPI) -Chief arbiter Lothar Schmid said Saturday night television cameras cannot be removed from the Revkiavik chess hall American chalkwer Bobbv Fischer has demanded and the third game of the world chess championship will be played Sunday as scheduled. The game will begin even if Fischer is not present, he said. i r's representative, Fred Cramer, said after meeting with Schmid and other members of the match governing committee, however, that there was still a possibility of moving Fischer and champion By parading and opening some meetings to the public, lingers claims the KKK has been actively and cffeclively recruiting to swell its ranks. "Now we have open recruitment," he stated.

"It used to be one had to be approached to belong; today people approach us The influx, by his count, is chiefly Vietnam veterans. Membership in Florida has climbed steadily" in the past year, Rogers insists. But he refuses to disclose any figures, saying only there's been noticeable growth in southern and central metropolitan areas. The KKK, rooted' in the reconstruction era, began as a masked underground resistance movement in the south, striking out at carpetbaggers and newly freed slaves in a futile attempt to preserve white supremecy following the Civil War. Although there are still instances of cross burning, Rogers says it's only to let people know the Klan is still around.

The KKK, he said, recently has expanded into undercover work to fight the drug problem. Paul Rogers, the Klan's Grand Dragon In Florida. "They're finding out we're ordinary people." He attributes this in measure to the nation's changing poli-cal mood Issues like busing and the war have given Klan causes such as racism and anti-communism a big boost. "The whole country is swinging more to the right away from liberal thinking and our members are becoming more willing to stand up and be counted," explained the 31-year-old Klan leader. Despite the deliberate effort to purge itself of a lawless mob band image, Klan direction has not really changed much.

It still remains the protector of prejudices. "We're still white folks," said Rogers wryly. "We still believe in segregation." With the facelift, however, has come new growth an influx from the under-35 age bracket, younger organizational leadership anil a conscious attempt at involvement in selected community programs such as drug abuse. NEWS Summer Clearance Bobby Fischer Has Few Friends in Iceland KKK Tries By PatLelsner LAKE WALKS, Fla. (AP) -The Ku Klux Klan, hooded vigilantes who struck at night whipping and killing for white supremacy, today are out parading the streets in broad daylight trying to shed a terrorist image.

"Klansmen are coming more out in the open," says John Fire Is Under Control MESA" VLivuE NATIONAL PARK Colo. (UPI)-A forest fire which scarred 2,800 acres of land in southwestern Colorado was declared under control Saturday and national park rangers reopened the park to summer visitors. The firefighting effort was hampered early in the day by a second fire discovered in a canyon on Southern Ute Indian land 15 miles southwest of Pagosa Springs, a 40-man crew was pulled off the main blaze to fight that fire and seven airplanes dumped 30,000 gallons of fire retardant on the canyon fire. A second 40-man crew was sent to relieve that detail and third crew wns also on the alert to move into the canyon to help extinguish the smaller fire. The large fire which has raged through the park this past week was fanned out of control by high winds and in one three-hour period, burned 800 acres of land.

The Icelandic Chess Federation, which stands to lose about $100,000 or more if the $250,000 match is called off, said it was prepared to discuss the complete removal of all cameras if no other solution was possible. The two players get 30 per cent of the TV income and they would lose this money if the cameras were removed or if they moved into a closed room without cameras. WANT-AOS STILL ONLY 30c PER LINE.

(I p.m. EDT) Sunday whether Fischer turns up or not. Fischer did not appear for the second game Thursday because he said the cameras distracted him. The game was awarded to Spassky by default. Spassky won the first game and holds a 2-0 advantage in the 24-game match.

Schmid and other chess officials here said that even if the issue about the television cameras were resolved thev world champion walking, fish ing for salmon or playing tennis adorn the front pages every other day. The bad publicity has affected Fischer, who follows to some extent what the newspaper write about him, chess sources said. It may be an explanation for his statement to an Icelandic chess player that he was sensing a conspiracy behind his setbacks. The Icelanders, who are a friendly people, have gone out of their way to please both Fischer and Spassky. They provided a luxury villa for Fischer on the outskirts of the city and they were upset when the American moved out after only a couple of days and demanded a new one.

"Spassky never demanded anything but his hotel suite and he thanked us when we set up a tennis court for him. Fischer does not even talk to us. He sends his requests and complaints through some aides," said the chess federation official. Fischer has not appeared in public more than twice since his arrival for the drawing of lots and for the first chess game. Spassky on the other hand walks the streets of Reykjavik daily, talking to fans who-approach him and giving autographs.

Bv IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK (UPI) Bobby Fischer may have helped the sales of chess sets in the United StateS but in Iceland, where chess is taken seriously, he has few if any friends left. In contrast Russian world champion Boris Spassky has never before been more popular with Iceland's 210,000 chess mad inhabitants. Icelanders are beginning to ask themselves why they bothered to bid for the "chess match of the century," as the Fischer-Spassky world championship match has been billed. "If we had known Bobby Fischer well enough we might have thought twice before bidding for the match," said one official of the Icelandic Chess Federation.

Bons Spassky into a closed room without cameras for at least Sunday's game. He added, however, that he did not know what Fischer would think of this proposal.

"1 don't think he has thought much about it," Cramer said. Emerging from another meeting with the committee Schmid said, "We can only continue the match under the match rules" which spefl out that official cameras for filming will be allowed in the hall. The organizers must guarantee that they are neither visible nor audible. Schmid ruled out the possibility of removing the cameras, although the Icelandic Chess the second game Thursday and the judge announced from the stage that he had forfeited the game, the spectators rose and applauded. "Send him back to the United States," shouted one voice in English from the gallery.

Iceland's five daily newspapers, which were gearing up to cover their biggest story in-years, have also turned on the 29-year-old American. "The chess scandal of the century," said the Timinn, one of the leading newspapers. Another newspaper printed a picture of Fischer's locked hotel room door with a "Don't Disturb" sign under the headline: "Come out and fight Bobby Fischer. Or are you a coward?" In contrast pictures of the well mannered and pleasant for the Delta Chapter of the Sierra Club, said estimated costs for the project have increased to the point that the already low benefit-cost ratio will be wiped out. The Corp's 1971 estimated was 1.2 to 1.

A spokesman for the Sierra Club said, "Since the petroleum industry already causes significant environmental disruption in the coastal zone, it is clear that further subsidies to this industry are uncalled for." THAT'S A VACATION? HANNOVER, Germany (UPI) Unlike numerous West Germans who drive or fly to foreign vacations, Hannover Lord Mayor Herbert Schmal-stieg Friday began his vacation in an assembly line of the Volkswagen auto works. Schmalstieg said he was doing the auto assembly work to "become familiar with the working conditions of the Volkswagen employes."

Tne environmental impact statement on the project, prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said about 350 acres of land will be converted to the new channel.

In addition, the statement said, 7,000 acres of swamp and marshland along the waterway will be required for spoil disposal from the dredging of the channels. The project would also affect Bayou Penchant, one of Louisiana's scenic waterways. Opponents of the project claim it calls for public financing for navigation improvements which will benefit only a small number of industries. The environmental impact statement, however, says "The improvement of navigation will benefit present users immediately and will encourage further industrial expansion and development." Charles Fryling of Baton Rouge, conservation chairman A AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS December 31,1971 were still pessimistic about the possibility of continuing the match. They would presumably refuse to turn up for the third game Sunday because the match committee rejected his protest against Schmid's decision to give the second game to the Russian world champion when Fischer refused to play.

At a closed door meeting Saturday Fischer's lawyers proposed to the match committee that Sunday's game be designated the second game while the American Chess Federation appeals the decision to give Thursdays game to Spassky to the International Chess Federation (FIDE) Congress at Skopje, Yugoslavia. Depending on FIDE's decision that game could then be replayed or decided at the end of the 24-game world title series, Fischer's lawyers said. The match committee rejected the proposal, chess sources said, and reiterated that the clock will be started at 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT) Sunday for the third game regardless of whether Fischer turns up.

Schmid said the match rules allow him to move the match, "at least temporarily to give Fischer a chance to calm down," from the chess hall to a closed backstage room. The rules say that any player can request such a move if he is distracted by noise and has more than 20 minutes of his original two and a half hours playing time left on the clock. "It may sound absurd but I believe there are precedents in other major chess matches," said Deputy Judge Gudmundur Arblaugs'son. He said the spectators, who have paid $5 for a ticket, would be able to follow the game on the closed circuit television screens if Fischer allowed cameras in the backstage room, "but they would of course miss the excitement of watching the players in action." There was no immediate reaction from Spassky or Fischer to the proposal, but chess officials said Spassky you myself in marriage." After delivering her proposal under the close scrutiny of tourists and police, Miss Fisher admitted that she already had a boyfriend back home in Hull. "But I'm sure he will appreciate the need for this sacrifice," she added.

There was no comment from the office of the 5B-year-old prime minister, who was not at his residence but aboard his yacht Morning Cloud, taking part in a race from Cowes to Dinard, France.
