He and three friends went to tho Varena fair that day and hung up a Lithuanian flag, but before Stonis could immolate himself, local police intervened and arrested his three friends. Stonis escaped and burned himself to death the next day on the town market square. He died June 10 in a military hospital, the sources said. Kalanta was one of Lithuania's 3'a million Roman Catholics who have become increasingly dissatisfied with the Soviet regime's treatment of their religion. It was not known if the other three were also Roman Catholics.

MOSCOW (AP) A Lithuanian worker doused himself with gasoline last month and burned himself to death to protest Soviet occupation, the third immolation in that restless republic in seven weeks, dissident sources reported Wednesday. Six days later, another worker tried to commit suicide the same way, but police seized him before he could light a match. Both men apparently were motivated by the fiery suicide of Roman Kalanta, a 20-year-old student, whose death May 14 touched off two days of rioting by thousands of Lithuanian youths shouting 'freedom for Lithuania." There were these other developments affecting Soviet dissidents: Zhores Medvedev, an eminent Soviet geneticist who was barred from the Ninth International Congress of Gerontology in Kiev, told an American scientist that authorities forced him to return to his home at Obninsk, south of Moscow. Medvedev, an outspoken advocate of civil rights, had been Invited to deliver a paper. But the Soviet organizing committee eliminated him from the program.

In Moscow, Jewish sources said Gabriel Shapiro, who married a Jewish-American girl last month and then was arrested for draft dodging, had been released from prison and is living with his parents in the Sov iet capital. They did not know the reason but speculated it was due to fear of protests from the American Jewish community. Shapiro was one of 14 Jewish activists ordered to report for two months of training shortly before President Nixon's arrival for a summit meeting in May. Shapiro went hiding and emerged to marry Judy Silver of Cincinnati in a religious ceremony June 8. Her visa expired and she had to return home before they could have a state wedding.

Dissidont sources identified the Lithuanian worker who burned himself to death only as Andrushkukavichus. They said he set himself afire June 3 in a square at Kaunas and died the next day. Soviet secret police buried him in a secret grave. Then on June 10, the informants continued, a worker named Zalizhkauskas poured acetone, a highly inflammable substance, over his clothes, but Kaunas police arrested him before he could scratch a match. The suicide of Roman Kalanta took place in Kaunas park where Soviet rule over Lithuania was proclaimed June 1940.

"Kalanta's death sparked rioting that resulted in numerous injuries and the death of at least one policeman. It was put down by Soviet paratroops and militia units. The sources said the latest self-immolation had not been followed by any violent disorders. But they reported that about 150 university and high school students were arrested in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius during the international handball tournament there June 11-18. The informants said the students jeered Soviet players, cheered the foreigners and refused to stand for the Soviet national anthem.

They also distributed anti-Soviet posters and hung Lithuanian national flags in the streets. The sources also were able to provide the first detailed account of the self-immolation of the third suicide, that of a youth in May in the town of Varena, in southeast Lithuania. They identified him as Stonis, a plumber born in 1949. According to the report, Stonis intended to commit po such a long match a lost point was a disadvantage Fischer probably could overcome at the Italian marble chess board on the stage of Reykjavik's 2,500 seal Sports Palace. From the frequent trips by Spassky and Geller to the gray three-story Soviet Embassy here, it was apparent the Soviet pre-mateh game was being played on directives from Moscow.

The maximum aim of the Soviet officials could be to obtain an initial scoring advantage that hopefully would permit the title to stay in Russia. The title has been won by Soviet players since 1948 in competitions that paid well in prestige, but only a few thousand dollars in money. Do the Russians insist on it anyway? "Yes," Geller said. When it appeared that the Soviets would be ready to start play today, assuming Fischer's written apologies were in hand, Euwe created a new tangle. After explaining why he allowed Fischer the delay, Euwe said: "I know Spassky is very upset by all this, and I would not like to make him play tomorrow," Euwe said.

"I would like to give him a week. Then we'd have to split match into 12-game halves. The second part could come later in the year. Or we could have IB games now and the rest afterward." Fulfilment, of the Russian demand that Fischer forfeit the first game would give Spassky a 1-0 score advantage in the score at the outset. The 24 games are scored one point for a win, a split point for a draw and nothing for a loss.

Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title, Fischer 12.5 to and former world chess champion. He made his way to the speaker's table, and sat down at Geller's right. Taking a microphone from the table in front of him, Euwe said he condemned Fischer, conceded he had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked by a newsman if tht Russians were satisfied, Geller said they wanted it all in writing. Euwe reached to his inside pocket for a pen and said, "I can write it now." He began drafting a letter as the news conference continued. At one point, Geller confirmed that the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game of the match to Spassky by forfeit.

Euwe looked up from his paper and said he didn't consider the request to be official. Geller, smiling as the questioning turned in circles, said he didn't think Spassky would accept the award even if Euwe offered it. REYKJAVIK, Iceland CAP) Bobby Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of the $400,000 world championship chess match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. With the confrontation threatening never to reach the checkered board, President Max Euwe of the International Chess Federation FIDE took some, of the blame and suggested a further postponement until next week for the dust to settle. Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrial he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person.

He's living in another world." Euwe said he realized Titleholder Boris Spassky was "Very upset" and would like to give him a week before the first game. Fischer's for more money brought the takings for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess. The winner will get $231,250 and the loser $168,750.

It was put off for two days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the American conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the starting date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on. He then suggested the further postponement and said the match may even have to be split into parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad set to begin in September at Skopje, Yugoslavia.

The Russians, unsatisfied, demanded his excuses in writing. addition to Fischer's written apologies, the Soviets wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame for violating FIDE rules. This happened at a news conference called by Yefim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second.

Speaking for the absent world champion, Geller said Spassky would return home if the demands were not met. Geller spoke hours after Fischer had declared he was sorry.
