Car-Train Crash Police said the car in which the victims were riding collided with a Norfolk and Western freight train at a country road to Iceland Sunday night but said Fischer was on none of them. The airline has more flights on Monday night that would put Fischer in Reykjavik early Tuesday, about. 12 hours before the deadline for him to start playing. Fischer and Spassky have Iceland requested the postponement on the grounds that he was unable to play because of fa'igue. But it was generally assumed that the request was part of Fischer's campaign to get more money out of the Icelanders.

Fischer and Spassy have agreed to split a $125,000 purse, with the winner taking five-eigh's, and are also to each get 30 per cent of the sale of film and television rights. But Fischer is seeking an additional 30 oer cent of the gate receipts, and his representatives have been negotiating this point with sponsors of the match, the Icelandic Chess Federation. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world chess championship was threatened with collapse today 24 hours before Bobby Fischer's deadline to show up or forfeit his match with Boris Spassky of Russia. Fischer, the American chess champion, was reported sticking to his demand for more money. He told the New York Dairy News he wouldn't yield.

The six-man board of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation was reported unanimously opposed to paying Fischer the extra money. One board member called Fischer's gambit "a blatant attempt at extortion." The board met until the early hours today with Fischer's lawyer, Andrew Davis. A spokesman said there was no progress. As the deadline approached, the board was in session again the president of the world federation, Dr. Max Euwe, an-nounced if the American challenger failed to show up by noon Tuesday he would risk forfeiting his chance at the title.

Euwe said his personal opinion was that "there will be no play at all." The Russians reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision to delay the match. Asked what he thought of the situation Spassky replied: "I came to play." An Icelandic chess player and longtime friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorberbergsson, flew to New York and said he would try to persuade Fischer to meet the Tuesday deadline. Hiding in New York Fischer continued to hide out from newsmen in New York but was reported to have stayed until Friday at the home of friends on Long Island. Icelandic Airlines had four flights to decide whether to pursue negotiations with Davis, a man they say has no written credentials from Fischer. "Sabotage" Expected Some chess experts who have gathered here from distant parts of the world for what promised to be the match of the century expressed a belief that Fischer, in the end.w ould sabotage the championship.

Among the more optimistic was Larry Evans, a former American champion who knows Fischer well. He said, "I'd say there was a 50-50 chance he will come." One Swedish expert left for home in disgust. Icelanders themselves, though they may not believe Fischer, will come have made no great rush to return the tickets they purchased for the match. Fischer's 24-game match with the Russian world's champion was to have begun Sunday, and I crossing and was dragged more president's intestinal ailment Is related to one which put Tru man in the hospital for more than a week early in 1971.
