Spassky wins first Fischer may back game, out "KYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)Bobby Fischer today was reported threatening break off his world championship chess match with Boris Spassky unless 'HI movie cameras are removed from the playing hall. "It's quite serious, He may not Piny at all," said a member of IMscher's entourage who asked not to be Identified. Fischer was scheduled to meet the world champion from the Soviet Union later today at 1 p.m. EOT the second game of their 24-gamc match.

The American challenger lost the first game Wednesday night. Fischer staged a 30-mlnutc walkout shortly after the play began Wednesday, complaining that a movie camera 150 feet away was making him nervous, The camera was hardly visible in the dimness outside the lighted players' circle, and it could not be heard by Fischer, but aides said the knowledge of its presence unnerved him.

(API Former President Harry Truman underwent an X-ray exam- of his upper gastrointestinal tract today at Research Medical Center where he has been hospitalized since July 2 for treatment of an irritation in the lower colon.

Lock Haven 717-748-3112 "QUALITY PRINTERS SINCE 1905" West Germany, who makes the decisions on all contested points In connection with the mutch, told Fischer during his walkout there was nothing he could do about the camera. Film and television rights for the match have been sold to an American promoter, and Fischer and Spussky are to get a share of the proceeds, estimated at a minimum of $27,500 each. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24- game series to retain his title.

Fischer needs 12 points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title. Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up. spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and strode to a backstage dressing room.

Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. After Spassky's 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached PCRR will cut crew PHILADELPHIA of the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad got court permission today to cut the size of train crews by some 5,700 jobs through attrition.

U.S. District Court Judge John P. Fullam approved a plan that would phase out the jobs as the workers quit, die, retire or are promoted. None would be fired under the plan. The trustees claim the plan would save the giant railroad almost $100 million a year.

But the United Transportation Union threatened to strike if the jobs are cut. The union, with 140,000 members is the largest of 15 major railroad unions. Judge Fullam told the trustees to try to resolve the issue with the union. In his fivepage order, Fullam said the trustees must give the union a 14-day notice before the cuts begin. Fullam, who is overseeing the railroad's reorganization under federal bankruptcy laws, said that "any reductions be made only with due consideration to the affect they would have on adequate and safe transportation service to the public and to the interests of the affected employes." One of the trustees, W.

Willard Wirtz, former U.S. secretary of labor, had testified June 26 that the railroad faces "financial disaster" if it is not allowed to cut the size of its train crews. over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out, He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky. When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side.

One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. After his walkout, he made an ineffectual sidestep with his king. In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost.

Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side Fischer gave up. to To the Editor: A few years back my husband and a son worked at the American Aniline Co, it never failed one day during the whole time that he worked there the day of the plant's picnic, which at that time was held at Hccla Park, he had to work and then when he did get there after 5 p.m. the picnic was at that time breaking up.

Now each man pays into the union each and every month of the year toward this plant picnic. It's not fair to the men left behind and work since they too paid In their dues to the union. Why can't the plant close for one day of the picnic or else have It held during their vacation time so that all the men employed could go and enjoy the day together away from the plant. I have written this letter in behalf of the men there. This problem is the same as it was way back then.
