A PRESS, Binghamton, N.Y. en July 14, 1972 Fischer Plea for New Game Rejected The Store for Men Young REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championship chess game by forfeit. The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived this morning from New York, was in the anteroom when assistant ref eree Gudmunder Arnlaugsson of Iceland announced the forfeit would be maintained.

Asked if his client would play the next scheduled lame on Sunday, Davis replied: "I can't comment on that." Davis, who appeared upset at the ruling, said he had not seen Fischer since he got here. Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the halL Since the American 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 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" It was the prospect of movie and TV sales that allowed the Icelanders to offer a record $125,000 purse to the two play ers, and Fischer and Spassky are also to divide a share of the movie-TV money estimated at a minimum of $55,000.

The 24-year-old veteran and his shy 21-year-old girlfriend, Thai Thi Thiet nicknamed Leenie flew into New York early in the morning after battling red tape in Saigon to get Leenie out of South Vietnam.

"Everything you do there is tomorrow," Menta said. "If you add up all the tomorrows, you'll have 20 years. But we managed to get through in three weeks." Determined to bring home the romance that bloomed in war, the veteran took a bank job after leaving the Army a year ago and saved his money so he could return to Vietnam and bring Leenie back with him. A church wedding is planned for October. U.S.

(AP)-When Hugh Malo of Milwaukee saw a service station selling gasoline for 22.9 cents a gallon, he drove in and said: "Fill it up." It took eight hours to pump 7,000 gallons of regular into Malo's tank truck. Malo, president of an independent oil company, said the 22.9 cents per gallon price that a competing major-brand station featured during the latest round in a continuing price war was less than the 23.75 cents per gallon he was paying wholesale from another major supplier.

After the sale Tuesday, the station raised its price to 23.9 cents. Malo's two stations were selling regular for 24.9. "It may seem funny to you," he said after paying the "but it's dollars to me." emerson quiet hool 6,000 btu hompact custom IIS volt, 9.8 amp operation, 2 fan speeds, adjustable air directors, (i thermostat, slide out filter, wood grain panels, instant installation with adjustable panels. 20" wide, ip4" deep, 1312" high. 10,000 btu modulaire custom keeps large living areas up to 450 sq ft cool.
