1 LLOYD STEIN County Court Messmer Is New French P. Minister PARIS (UPD-French President Georges Pompidou today named Pierre Messmer, former minister of overseas departments and territories, as the new prime minister to succeed Jacques Chaban-Del-mas. and his 40-man cabinet resigned earlier in the day to allow Pompidou to build a new cabinet to meet expected strong opposition in next March's National Assembly elections. Chaban-Delmas' resignation was timed to allow Pompidou to set up a new cabinet to lead the bickering Gaullist coalition into its forthcoming critical confrontation with the Communist-Socialist "popular front" opposition alliance in the general elections, political sources said. Pompidou did not immediately announce who will replace the outgoing prime minister.

He scheduled urgent consultations with Defense Minister Michel Debre and other Gaullist coalition leaders for later in the day. Chaban-Delmas' resignation has long been rumored and officially denied. He has been criticized in the ranks of his own Gaullist coalition for allegedly not being tough enough to deal with various financial scandals in which Gaullist public figures were implicated. Pompidou's move was taken by political observers to mean he is accepting the challenge raised by the new Communist-nistSocialist alliance. Charcoal Fumes Kill Boy, 13 LAKE EMMA TOWNSHIP, Minn.

He said he would not play until FIDE punished Fischer and Fischer personally apologized. Officials hoped the match could start Thursday. Earlier, the official Soviet New Agency Tass criticized Fischer and said he and his backers planned to use a computer to try to win Spassky's title.

The 24-game championship match was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-yea-rold chess genius from Brooklyn, failed to turn up, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers. See Page 2, No. 3 Brinkrnan Files REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American chess challenger Bobby Fischer apologized today for delaying the start of the world championship match with Russian Boris, Spassky but a demand from the Soviet chess federation threatened to cancel the 24-game series. The Russian chess group cabled Dr. Max Euwe, presi-d of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), demanding that Fischer be ordered to forfeit the first game because he did not abide by an agreement which said both players must show up within one hour of the scheduled game time.

"If the Russians insist on this penalty I believe the whole match is off," said Euwe. "We are sorry that the world championships were delayed. The problems causuig the delays were not with world champion Spassky who I respect as a player and a man," Fischer said. "If grandmaster Spassky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomforted I am indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring," Fischer said. Officials hoped the twice-postponed tournament could get under way Thursday but earlier representatives of both Fischer and Spassy broke off talks, casting doubts on the possibility the match would be held.

Fischer, who has remained in seclusion since arriving in Reykjavik early Tuesday, apologized in a statement read by his second, the Rev. William Lombardi. "The Russians said today they don't want any further talks with the Americans," Euwe said.
