THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1972 2 The Montgomery Aduertiser Fischer Is Outmaneuvered, Loses First Chess Match REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)last With a hopeless position on the chess board, Bobby Fischer walked out for 30 minutes Wednesday, then returned to lose the first game of the world chess championship to Boris Spassky, the Russian titleholder. After the game was over Fischer told the man who taught him the moves of the game when he was a boy in Brooklyn, N.Y., that "it will settle was a bad day all around for the 29-year-old American. In addition to conceding Spassky a 1-0 lead in the score at. the outset of the 24-game match, Fischer developed some more money trouble. News from London was that James Slater, who sweetened the pot with 50,000 poundsabout be able to get his money out of England because of restrictions.

Slater's donation, which pushed the total prize money to $300,000, enticed Fischer to end his holdout at the scheduled start of the match July 2. -Asked about Slater's problem, 1, Fischer snapped, "No The play lasted only one hour and three minutes. It was the continuation of a game begun Tuesday and adjourned after 40 moves with Fischer in a positton the experts said would give bim only a draw at best. Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns. Fischer was down to his king and live pawns, two of them loose on the king's side.

One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn when play concluded Tuesday night. the first move Wednesday, Spassky captured the 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 June Permits Hits $702,300 In Prattville PRATTVILLE-Building permits were issued for $702,300 worth of construction in Prattville during June.

Suddenly after five minutes of play and some indecisive sparring, Fischer stood, spoke animatedly to chief referee Schmid of West Germany and disappeared with his long rolling gait through the beige curtains offstage left. Fischer strode to his backstage dressing room where he told Schmid, who followed him, that unless he movie wouldn't continue, play a from the chess board was ordered shut off. It was barely visible from where Fischer sat.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes while his clock continued to devour time.

Through the long roll call of states, the new-look Democratic convention was, for a political convention, remarkably orderly. But when McGovern's count of delegates topped the 1,509 majority that made him the his partisans erupted into, Shortly cheers. before the convention began the 1 nominating process, McGovern left his hotel penthouse and went down to the lobby to meet with several hundred angry demonstrators who had invaded the building, demanding to see the senator.

He reassured them that he had not changed his position "on any of the fundamental stands I've taken." On Vietnam, he said: "Idon't have any doubt that within 90 days of my inauguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home and that's the pledge I make." The demonstrators had expressed concern about reports that the South Dakota senator planned to leave a residual force in Southeast Asia. The noisy, milling protesters repeatedly interrupted each other and McGovern who pleaded with them to let questioners speak and him answer. The senator, who was flanked by Secret Service agents as he spoke, said later he decided to to the demonstrators to avoid a repetition of the situation in Chicago in 1968.

It was Hardin who engineered the stoppage of the funding of Beasley's office by making $1.5 million in the legislative appropriation a conditional appropriation. That gave the governor control over how the was spent and, at that money, Hardin was the man who, made such decisions.

Several of delegates from Alabama pledged support Wallace said after that press conference that Wallace, should not run a third campaign, that it would be physically impossible for him to do so.

He grants frequent ininterviews to national reporters but will not hold a press conference for a large contingent of Alabama convention. newsmen covering the Acc ording to several of the people close to the governor's office, the "palace conspiracy" to hold Wallace out of the gubernatorial race in 1974.

say Wallace is so well insulated from the situation that the Snider Gerald Wallace group can pass on to department heads instructions that "the governor wants this to be done" and get their way. None of the group opposing the power play feels that Wallace will mount a third party effort after this convention ends. One of them, asking not to be quoted by name, said third talk is nothing more than "wishful thinking" on Snider's part. "He's just trying to protect that job he's got," this man said. Those who oppose the bloc say they will not support the administration if the power successful.

And they reported that several key cabinet members may resign if Hardin is eased out of the picture. Wallace reportedly told all of his cabinet members, when he asked them serve, that they would have to deal "with only one Wallace." Several of the appointees and several key legislative leaders specifically asked if they would be bound to indulge Gerald! Wallace in any way and Wallace reportedly told them they would not.

Wilson Tells Convention Wallace Is Only Winner (Continued From Page 1) The nomination was by a demonstration that lasted about a minute and a half. The Alabama delegation, of course, led the cheering and they were supported primarily by the delegation from Florida where Wallace won 75 delegates in the primary early this year. But there were groups of delegates standing and cheering in several other state delegations, notably Michigan, Wisconsin and Texas. Seconding speeches were by Hall Timanus Houston, land Helen Colvin, a doctor from Indiana. There was some fear that Wallace might withdraw from the presidential race before his nomination could be made.

wBut he dispelled that thought Wednesday when he met with the Alabama delegation in the afternoon. He thanked them for what they had done for him and urged them to continue seeking delegate votes at the convention Wednesday night. There was some indication that he would announce a third party effort sometime Thursday morning, but that speculation an ineffectual sidestep with his king.

Viet Retreat SAIGON (AP) forces struck Wednesday at the vital southwest flank of South Vietnamese troops battling around the provincial capital of Quang Tri, forcing a retreat. North Vietnamese forces remained entrenched in the city despite heavy bombing and shelling as the South Vietnamese drive into Quang Tri Province entered its third week. Associated.

Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the northern front that several hundred North Vietnamese troops backed by tanks attacked government paratroopers on the southwestern flank and drove them off their hilltop positions. The enemy occupied the outposts, and the troopers called in air strikes to blast the positions. At least three North Vietnamese T54 tanks were reported knocked out by wire-guided missiles. Initial reports made no mention of casualties on either side. The southwestern flank of the operation is considered vital because allied officers have been concerned since the beginning of the drive that the North namese might attempt to circle around behind the task force and attack Hue, 32 miles to the southeast.

Other battles raged on the northern, eastern and southern sides of Quang Tri City. Government forces claimed to have killed more 40 enemy knocked out tanks.

(AP) Two Auburn University football players, who were charged with. burglary and grand larceny, have been released on bond, Lee County Sheriff Jim Pearson said Wednesday. well Michale Joseph Flynn Pearson, said Donald E. Tidwere released $2,500 bond on each count. The sheriff said Flynn was freed on bond Tuesday and Tidwell a "week to 10 days ago." Pearson said he did not know the details of the charges, but the Opelika-Auburn Daily News said Wednesday they resulted from an investigation of a series of car and dwelling burglaries over a period of time in which tape players and other electronic equipment was taken.

Journal editor and publisher, as one of those receiving a kickback in the sale of some state bonds. He and Fite were reported to have a kickback from the Birmingham law firm of White, Bradley, Arant and Rose. Those charges are still being investigated by the grievance committee of the Alabama Bar Association.

The younger Wallace also has an interest in an asphalt firm and is engaged in various enterprises with attorney Long. The "palace conspiracy" is apparently, pushing Beasley more and more into the forefront, possibly with the view of making him the gubernatorial candidate to succeed Wallace in 1974. Beasley showed up in Miami last Saturday, and, is quartered at Ambassadors, where Wallace is staying. Beasley said at the time that "they" had asked him to comel down and aid in the campaign. But it now appears that the "they" who invited him were Snider and Gerald Wallace, not the governor himself.

Those keeping close watch on this power play said privately that the Snider-Gerald Wallace group has not done much to advance the Wallace presidential bid. "They alienate more people than they win to the governor's cause," one delegate pledged to Wallace said Wednesday morning.

Allied spokesmen said a U.S. Air Force jet Tuesday blasted a hole in the wall of the 19th century Citadel in the heart of Quang Tri, paving the way for an eventual assault into the enemy-held fortress. The U.S. Command said a laser-guided bomb was used to breach the wall. Lt.

Col. Do Viet, a spokesman for the South Vietnamese command, said the strike against the Citadel was "only a preparation for our troops" and did not signal an imminent ground attack on the heavily fortified city center. Viet, who last week claimed three-fourths of the northernmost province capital was in government hands, said Wednesday that no South Vietnamese troops were inside the city limits.

His national campaign director, Charles Snider, told a morning press conference that the third party effort "just outside," and that it was comling every minute. Observers, and at several Wallace headquarters delegates told The Advertiser, however, that there is not a chance that Wallace will take the third party route.

Instead, they say, Wallace will return to Alabama and campaign in the fall, to the extent that he is able, for the bottom part of the Democratic ticket. He will not campaign for McGovern, they say, but will campaign for other Democrats, including Sen. John Sparkman, the seven congressional candidates and candidates lesser offices. There is still a possibility that he will call a five-day session of the legislature to put the presidential candidates in a column on the ballot separate from the other nominees.
