Chess Match Between Russ, American On REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening 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 opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday.

They hoped both play- something for these kids." About 75 per cent of the calls were critical, Abramowitz said. Two local landlords paid him a visit, the rabbi said, and complained that he was destroying property values and ruining a good neighborhood. Temple Monorah is located a dozen blocks north of the ocean-front resort hotels in an area of two-story apartment buildings where people spend the evenings on the front porch or balcony. While leaders of the congregation approved of his action, Abramowitz said some members complained that he should not have acted without consulting the congregation and said he was endangering their safety. Abramowitz agreed to let the young people spread their sleeping bags in the social hall after concern mounted that they might spark a confrontation with police by camping in a public park.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -A rabbi who let young people gathering for convention protests sleep at his synagogue says he received telephone bomb threats and complaints his action would depress neighborhood property values. Rabbi Meyer Abramowitz allowed about two dozen Yippies to spend the last two nights in the social hall of Temple Monorah at the request of Police Chief Rocky Pome-rance. The Rabbi sent his secretary home early Tuesday and answered the telephone himself for four hours. "The calls included threats to bomb the building and those from people incensed that I had turned the building over to people they felt were irresponsible and dangerous," Abramowitz said.

"The reaction ranged from that kind of hostility to positive comments from people who felt it was time we finally did on Creswell Lane. the two top matters to ne handled are appointment of basic personnel for the 1972-73 school session, and a discussion of the opinion from the attorney general with reference to an appointment of a fiscal agent for the ensuing two years. The board asked the attorney general for a ruling after it developed that the legal advertisement calling for bids for a fiscal agent appeared 10 days before the bids were received when the law requires that the ad must be published 15 days prior to bid opening. The board is also expected to award bids on magazines tor the public schools and on physical education materials; authorize Supt. John Dupre to advertise for vehicle liability insurance: and approve payment of Louisiana School Boards Association dues for 1972-73.

Several important matters are on the agenda for the regular meeting of the St. Landry Parish School Board Thursday. The meeting is set for 3 p.m. at the board office 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 investment banke doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. With the contribution from the Ivondon 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. Prices Good Thru July.

Fireworks Mishap Kills One; Hurts Dozen Others One man was killed and more than a dozen persons were injured as a result of mishaps during two Fourth of July fireworks demonstrations.

Five pyrotechnicians escaped serious injury in a third incident. Police in Wauconda, 111., said Edward G. Bulger, 24, was killed when some kind of firework device exploded in a crowd of spectators observing a display at Bangs Lake, 40 miles northwest of Chicago. Eight other persons were treated and three of them were hospitalized following the explosion Tuesday night. All three were reported in satisfactory condition early today.

In Seattle, an errant skyrocket exploded in a crowd gathered near a fountain at the Seattle Center. Up to a dozen WHIN "MONEY TALKS" A CASH LOAN MAKES YOU STAND TALLER!

The Democrats hope that humans can do what electronic gatekeepers couldn't. In Chicago four years ago it was go or no-go according to the capricious whims of a machine that flashed green or red and mavbe not at all. A plastic card held by the user aided the machine in its decision.

Sometimes it got fooled by an ordinary oil company credit card, but most often by its transistor innards. The result was people who got in when they shouldn't; people who didn't when they should; and a lot of people who flashed redder than the machines. This time, the Democrats have gone back to the old-fashioned admission ticket, numbered and color-coded, with secret and invisible markings to thwart would-be counterfeiters. Next to the heat, the subject most discussed in this bareback, lace-dress strip of nature- gone-overboard is 'security ppies, IL Ili'p- Security outside (Yippies, ppie id si pies and Zippies) and security inside (delegates, challengers, newsmen and messengers). On suggestion of the Secret Service, the convention hall will undergo a military-type inspection for possible bombs beginning at midnight Sunday.

It will not be reopened until Monday afternoon. "The system relies on people not knowing what's in it, says Wesley Pomeroy, the man in charge of security inside. For instance, the party's Security Advisory Committee, which he heads, has been working for a year on ways to make the entry easier for those who should get in; and harder for those who shouldn't. Only Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien and others of similar rank have passes for all sessions.

Each day, just before the convention opens, the day's tickets will go to the heads of delegations. The tickets were printed in a secret place, under guard. They are now stored, under guard. The day's color will be chosen just before distribution. Going past the gatekeepers, people will pass through metal sniffers such as those airports use to detect hijackers.

Briefcases will be searched. Internal security for the huge convention center complex was put on bid and eight firms ap-plied. The winner was McDonnell-Frain, which has had experience with such tightly guarded events as the Super persons were injured and three of them were hospitalized. None was believed in serious condition. Witnesses said the skyrocket started upward but appeared to "break off" and exploded in the crowd.

The fireworks display in Elsi-nore, went off all at once when a spark from a skyrocket touched off $3,900 worth of star bursts, fire balls, aerial bombs and rockets. The pyrotechnics were loaded aboard a barge in Lake Elsi-nore, which was ringed by thousands of spectators. No spectator was hurt and the five technicians conducting the display dove overboard and escaped with minor powder burns. expeniet.
