Chess Match Replay Demanded By Fischer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Chess officials today considered a demand from Bobby Fischer for a replay of the second game in the world chess champ tonship match which he refused to play Thursday because movie cameras were present. The referee ruled that Fischer, by failing to appear because movie cameras would film the play forfeited the game to Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky. The challenger's protest also demanded the removal of the cameras, which he claimed affected his concentration. The protest was being considered by Gudmundur Arnlaugsson of the Icelandic Chess Federation, the assistant referee for the match; Fred Cramer of the U.S. Chess Federation; and Nikolai Krogius, one of Spassky's aides.

A decision was promised this afternoon. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras film. ing the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the Ameri. can challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead.

Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation Obituaries Clemente Garzelli Clemente (Dick) Garzelli died Thursday at a local convalescent hospital after a long illness.

But Dr, Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Chess Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole financial structure of the match depends on it." School Fund Outlook Brightens (Continued from page 1) needed to keep a running account of salary savings. The wage and price freeze earlier in the fiscal year also caused a great deal of confusion, he added.

At its last meeting, the board of education restored to the budget $30,000 of the total $106,000 in additional funds to lower the pupil teacher ratio. Another $32,000 has been used to raise the district's depleted reserves in order to pay salaries until tax money starts coming in. The other $44,000 will be the subject of discussion next month. The only major cut still to be restored is the busing program. Parents in the Penngrove area have asked the board to consider the problems of that rural attendance area in its deliberations.

The district is still, however, operating under cuts made in the 1971-72 budget which eliminated several staff positions, cut operating and capital outlay funds and put principals back in the classroom to save $204,000 that year. Although not termed a budget cut, teachers have not received cost of living raises intwo years. Nixon, Connally To Confer SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Former Treasury Secretary John B. Connally has arrived in SouthernCalifornia for a conference today with President Nixon, Connally until recently the only Democrat in Nixon's Cabinet, just completed a 35-day, 15-nation trip around the world for the President, who has promised the mission would be followed by an important new assignment for the silver -haired Texan.

Asked if the new assignment would be announced today, press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said, "It has not been decided." There has been speculation for more than a year that, should Nixon decide to replace Vice President Spiro T. Agnew as his 1972 running mate, he might turn to Connally. The former Treasury chief has expressed disinterest in the job but has never said flatly he would not accept. Another globe -circling traveler, Secretary of State William P.

Rogers, will be at the Western White House on Saturday to report to Nixon on a 19-day journey to 10 countries. Ziegler reported that the President and Mrs. Nixon watched final Democratic COnvention proceedings on television Thursday night, How. ever, the press secretary kept mum about Nixon's reaction to the nomination of Sen. George McGovern as his November opponent.

Air conditioning was not around when the library was built in 1904 and the city council has been disinclined to install it since then. Eventually it is thought a new library or a branch or something may be built and the council doesn't want to waste money on a building that may someday be phased out. Meanwhile the staff is sweating it out. The thermometer in the library thermostat only goes to 92 degrees and Librarian Alice Hanna said it was as far to the top as it could go yesterday.

She estimated the temperature was around 100 degrees inside the facility. heat drives out the customers, she said. Although it would be a good opportunity for the staff to do necessarywork it is like working in a steam bath, she said. In former times the library could have been closed during very hot days but it is kept open now because of the increased population and the possibility that someone may need to use it, she said. Not only is there no air conditioning, the library has no drinking fountain and the staff has been bringing ice chests to work.

Miss Hanna said the cost of air conditioning the library would probably be prohibitive because it was never designed for it. And, anyway, the building is still the same size as when it. was built and is too small for Petaluma's present population she said. "What is needed is a new library," she said. Meanwhile, the staff is just hoping for a change in the weather.

BOB KYLA MARCHER 763-6659 SACRAMENTO (AP)-A Reagan administration antidrug plan giving some first offenders treatment instead of punishment has cleared the California Senate without dissent or debate. The bill by Sen. George Deukmejian won approval Thursday on a 30-0 vote and went to the Assembly, where it faces an uncertain future while lawmakers press toward a hoped for July 28 adjournment date.

It would allow persons arrested on a drug offense for the first time to be enrolled in a local antidrug program instead of paying a fine or going to jail. The "diversion" program would only apply to persons without a history of violence and requires agreement from the judge and district attorney. "We should not continue to clog our criminal justice system nor saddle our young with a criminal record if there is a legitimate alternative," Gov. Reagan said when he unveiled the program last April. Replacement of punishment by treatment would cut down court cases "substantially," Deukmejian said Thursday.

The Long Beach Republican's bill would create an 11-member Drug Advisory Board appointed by the governor and gives the State Department of Mental Hygiene responsibility for riding herd on statewide antidrug efforts. The department would license private antidrug programs and control methadone maintenance programs for heroin addicts. The bill appropriates $8.35 million for the state's antidrug efforts and for state aid to local programs. United Air Lines, the nation's largest carrier, announced it will employ personnel to inspect all hand luggage carried by persons boarding its 727 flights. It added that it will continue its policy of making spot checks of passengers boarding its other flights.

An American Airlines spokesman said the luggage in spection would not he limited to passengers boarding the 727s. The increased security meas. ures came in the aftermath of the Wednesday hi jacking of an American jetliner between Oklahoma City and Dallas. The hijacker later surrendered.
