In the past, Fischer has refused to fly between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday, the Church of God sabbath. The next flight to Iceland from Kennedy was Friday night and in the past Fischer, a Brooklyn resident, has refused to fly between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday the Church of God sabbath. Meanwhile, a Tass news agency dispatch from Moscow said Fischer's actions made it uncertain whether the series with Spassky "will begin on time or whether it will be held at all." Tass also said Fischer was motivated by a "disgusting spirit of gain" and confided in lawyers rather than other chess players. "Whenever the matter concerns Fischer, money comes first while sports motives are relegated to the background," the dispatch added. Earlier, sources in Iceland reported Fischer had given an 1 1 i a to the I-slandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't show up unless it aereed to guarantee him 30 per tioned alternatives to the death penalty as it now stands were instituting capital punishment under new conditions and tightening up on paroles so that life sentences really mean life.

Florida lawmakers anticipated the court's decision and passed a measure during the last session providing that condemned prisoners saved by the ruling be given automatic life prison terms. The law does not go into effect until Oct. 1, however, and State Atty. Gen. Robert Shevin said HAMBURG, Germany (UPI) U.S.

Chess Grandmaster Bobby Fischer may lose his rights as challenger for the world title if he doesn't show up for his Sunday match with Russian World Champion Boris Spassky, the president of the World Chess Federation said Friday. "If he doesn't show up, he will lose his rights to play in the world championship," said federation head Max Euwe of Holland. "It won't be my decision alone, but the rules of the game." Euwe, World Chess Champion in 1935-37, was here on a business visit and said he planned to fly to the match site in Reykjavik, Iceland, Saturday. The temperamental Fischer, who has canceled or missed three flights to Reykjavik this week from the United States, was last seen Thursday night in a restaurant at Kennedy International Airport in New York. When discovered by reporters and fans, he ran into a parking lot and disanoeared.

A spokesman for Icelandic Airlines later said Fischer was not aboard a flight for Reykjavik that night although he apparently had a Airlines said in New York it had "no information" about whether Fischer would be on one of its three flights Friday the death penalty, as presently imposed, is unconstitutional. Moves already were under way in some areas to reinstitute capital punishment in constitutional form. "We've pot to have a death penalty," Georgia State Rep. James Floyd said Friday. He said he would push for a revision of the law during the 1973 legislative session to reim-pose capital punishment.

The high court did not outlaw the death penalty per se. Only two of the five justices in the majority said that all capital Three Shreveport residents are among the 90 high school juniors from 18 states enrolled in the 15th annual science training program on the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge.

Ken Brown, an official of the California Correctional Officers Association which supports the death penalty, said his group has "no immediate plans." One possibility, he said, was a national drive to amend the U.S. 'Constitution.

Smith to Seek Law Gov. Preston Smith of Texas said he would ask the state legislature to pass a law providing mandatory life sentences, with no parole, for certain crimes. Gov. Jimmy Carter of Georgia indicated he expected a similar move in his state. "I still don't think seven years is long enough for a man to serve in prison who has committed premeditated murder and is given a life sentence," he said, discussing the parole system.

Alabama State Rep. Sam W. Taylor of Montgomery said he would introduce a bill to provide life imprisonment without parole for crimes which now carry death penalties. Under present law. life-termers are eligible for parole after 10 years, or sooner if the Parole Board agrees unanimously.

Sources in New Hampshire, which is revamping its criminal code, predicted that there would be a move in the 1973 legislature to reimpose capital punishment, but they said they did not know whether it would be successful.
