After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest.

Morrison told newsmen at Omaha Monday as he headed south on a flight of nostalgia in his old-time aircraft. Morrison had located the plane some weeks ago at Moses Lake, Wash. It was a CurtissWright "pusher," like the one in which he had learned to fly 40 years ago. The Eastern Airlines 747 jumbo jetliner captain purchased the Curtiss-Wright and thought it would be a be lark to spend his vacation flying it across country. He left Moses Lake last Friday, heading for his home at Miami Shores, Fla.

At Omaha, he also said that he would probably sell the open cockpit craft when he reached Florida "It's too unstable. If you got into turbulent air, you couldn't handle On Tuesday, Junius D. Morrison's flight of nostalgia ended, the Curtiss-Wright in tangled wreckage and the 59-year-old pilot dead among the weeds in a northwest Missouri field.

The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department.

The Castro ends Moscow visit OSCOW (AP) Fidel Castro left Moscow today at the end of a 10-day visit that climaxed his extended tour of nine countries in Africa and Eastern Europe. With a light rain falling, the Cuban prime minister and Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev walked arm in arm to the waiting plane after the traditional honor guard review and protocol farewells. Just before boarding the plane, Castro embraced Brezhnev, Premier Alexei N.

Kosygin and President Nikolai V. Podgorny. A television commentator reporting the departure said it was the end of "an official but very very friendly visit." Economic affairs were said to dominate the discussions. Soviet trade and assistance are the mainstays of the Cuban economy, and Western specialists estimate the Cuban operation costs the Soviet Union a million dollars a day. Castro left Moscow for Minsk, the capital of Byelorussia, and was expected to spend at least a day there.

The Tass report of his departure did not say whether he would visit other Soviet cities, but unofficial sources said he was expected to leave for Havana on Thursday. Castro's tour began May 2. Before reaching Moscow he visited Guinea, Algeria, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Poland, East Germany and Czechoslovakia.
