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 arrival he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person. He's living in anotner world." Euwe said he realized Titleholder Boris Spassky was "very upset" and would like to give him a week before the first game.

It Was put off for. two days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the American's 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 first apology of the day was made in Fischer's name on the demand of Spassky, who said the American's conduct had "insulted me personally and the country I rep resent." Fischer said he was sorry he'd caused any trouble for Spassky, whom he respected as a man and admired as a chess player. The Russians, unsatisfied, demanded his excuses in writing. In 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. Out of the packed audience in a hotel bar stepped Euwe, a tall, 71-year-old Dutchman 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 the Russians were satislied, 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. Olympic EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -Clifford Buck, chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, attempted to explain Wednesday how the organization spends its money.

Buck opened a heated press conference by giving background information about the L'SOC. He said the organization would have about $9 million in funds which have been solicited for this year's Olympic team. He then fielded questions-some of which challenged the USOC to explain where the group's money went. One question dealt with athletes who did not have enough money to pay for their own lodging and slept in friend's rooms on the floor in sleeping bags. "It is an established policy that the USOC docs not pay candidates' transportation, room and board," Buck said.

A reporter then retorted: "How can you expect athletes to perform at their best when they're sleeping on floors snd eating 23 cent hamburgers?" Buck explained that the last two years in the USOC train-ing camp program were very costly and that he wasn't sure that paying for athletes expenses at the trials wouldn't be a violation of International Olympic Committee rules. "I believe the rules we have can be changed by our, board or directors, but that's only an opinion I'm not a lawyer." Asked about a possible conflict of interest because a director of the USOC also was a member of the firm contracted to handle travel arrangements and tickets for the Olympic Games this year, Buck said: "We felt It was advan- tagcous to deal with one com 1 DOZ.
