VPI illation burgeons -UNITED NATIONS (UPI) The world's population will double by the year 2000 if its annual 2 per cent rate of increase is maintained, according to the United Nations Statistical Yearbook. -The yearbook said that on tie basis of its current growth rate, the world's population increased by about 72 million last year and will grow another 73 million this year. That would put the world's population by the end of this year at 3.7 billion. '-By the year 2000, the year- took said, the population will be about 7.4 billion at the current rate of growth. -Figures on population growth were among voluminous global statistics published yesterday in the 818- page yearbook, which also includes figures on industrial and agricultural production, trade, transport, finance, prices, wages, education and publishing.

-In the decade of the 1960s, tfie yearbook said, the world population increased by 22 per cent. The total output of goods aid services the Gross National Product (GNP) of the various countries more than kept pace, however, growing by 70 per cent during the same period. "At the beginning of the current decade, the world's total population was 3.632 billion, with Asia having 2.056 billion. The population figures for the other continental regions were Europe 462 million. Africa 344 million, North America 321 million, South America 190 million, and Oceanic 19.4 million.

While the global annual population growth rate was an even 2 per cent, most of the developing countries averaged higher with Central America at the top with 3.4 per cent. In second place were Polynesia and Micronesia with 3.2 per cent, followed by North Africa and tropical South America successful fund raisers in political history." Brown said at least 50 per cent of the total pledged was by credit card unique with this telethon. Brown, 38, who personally bankrolled the production with million, said he expected the total take to be well over million.

The world's most densely populated country, according to the yearbook, is Macao, the worst caused by a broken water small Portuguese territory on the South China coast, which has 19,625 people per square kilometer (0.386 square -miles). It is followed by Monaco, the principality on the French Riviera, which has 16,107 persons per square kilometer.

Brown said he figured the take would have been 20 per cent higher but for this. The show failed in its effort to solicit a contribution from President Nixon.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The Boris Spassky- Bobby Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived.

The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in tiie Reykjavik chess hall yesterday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look bel- ter if both Spassky and Fis- cher had the same chairs," said Gudmunduf Thorarins- son, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match.

Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland, the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes EO difference tome." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games tomorrow. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand. Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day yesterday polishing off the fine details.

He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones.
