(Journal photo by James Gray) Chess match now set for Thursday REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now Is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another psotponement, this one de- manded by the Soviet cham- pion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed open- ing match Tuesday.

But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48- hour postponement of the open- er, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both play- ers would be ready to meet on Thursday. Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday.

The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London in- vestment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guard- ed villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet cham- pion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to ap- pear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the So- viet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title. The statement de- manded that Fischer pun- ished.

However, Max Euwe, presi- dent of the international feder- ation, said the Soviets had not formally requested punish- ment. "What should I do?" he asked. "Put him in the cor- ner?" Fischer was staying away from newsmen and did not comment on the Soviet state- ment. With the contribution from the London banker, James D. Slater, the winner is to get $156,250 and the loser $93,750.

In addition, each player will get another $75,000 from the television and film rights.

By PHILIP HAGE Journal Staff Writer President Nixon's recent decision to lift meat import restrictions is primarily a political move that will have little affect on rising meat prices, according to two area men associated with the farm Insustry. President Nixon lifted meat quotas last week in an attempt to increase the supply of meat available to American con- sumers. By Increasing meat supply to equal demand, Mr.

Nixon hoped prices would drop. "It's a political Rollie Lake, vice president and agricultural representative of the First National Bank of Fergus Falls, said. It won't result in any change in meat prices, he said. Countries such as Austrailia, New Zealand and Argentina are exporting to this country lower quality cuts of meat used for luncheon meats and ham- burger. No fresh or prime meat cuts are imported from these countries.

The move will not affect supply and prices of fresh beef, he said. that do ship meat to the United States haven't been shipping as much as they could have. The price of meat in western Europe Is much highsr than it is here. New Zealand will sell to the best market," he said. Lake pointed out that there Is no actual meat shortage in the United States meat supply has remained constant but that demand has increased Instead and that the demand has been increasing for several years, resulting in a current meat shortage.

Demand has simply outstripped supply. When asked why farmers hadn't kept up with the demand for prime cuts of beef he replied that "a few years ago it didn't pay to raise beef." Lake mentioned also that grass-fed foreign beef is not as tasty nor as tender as corn-fed beef and for that reason it is not sold as prime cut. Concerning consumer demand for beef, Lake said: "Consumers want fresh T-bone steaks. They want fresh corn-fed beef. The price of beef is right where Is should be." Willis Roehl, an area farmer, was more specific.

"I don't feel that Mr. Nixon has done much. It's mainly a political move. Farmers make up only six percent of the population so he's mainly trying to appease the consumer. His move Is not going to hurt the farmer too much and still look good.

His decision will have no affect on buying a roast or a steak." Roehl was irritated by President Nixon's decision for another reason. "He didn't help the farmers in 1962 when the price went down for beef," he said. "Why meddle at one point and not at another? The grain prices are terrible. I don't feel that he should have frozen grain prices. Why doesn't he do something to help the grain farmer?" Roehl pointed out that far- mers can obtain highest nwktt prices for cattle now bectUM beef supply short market prices are high because most cattle are not yet ready for butchering.

He pointed out abo that meat prices are generally lower In the fall when cattle supply increases as steers are ready for butchering. Sheik Shakbut, the former ru- ler of Abu Zaby who allowed slave-trading in his Truclal State until 1964, feared modern- ization would ruin his land and tried to refuse payment for oil found there. Forced to accept the money, he kept it under his bed where rats gnawed through a fortune in banknotes before he was deposed in 1966. THE LANTERNS ON RUSH LAKE SMORGASBORD Sundays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
