The drawing of lots to de-cide who is playing the white pieces in the tirst game was postponed until Sunday morning in the hope that the American challenger will be in town by then. agreement both he and Spassky had accepted. The Icelandic organizers have put up $125,000 in prize money with five eights going to the winner and the rest to the loser.

The sources said Fischer suddenly demanded an additional 30 per cent share of J'-V'V 4 Big Diamond LONDON (UPI) -The Star of Sierra currently the world's largest uncut diamond and the third largest ever found, goes on sale later this month. It will take a bid of at least $2.4 million to buy it. The star, big as a hen's egg and weighing half a pound, went on public display for the first time Friday at the Sierra Leone high commission office in London.

S. challenger Bobby Fischer had not yet shown up for his opening bout with champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. However, Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), said in the opening ceremony in Iceland's national theater he was convinced Fischer would arrive in time for the match at 1 p.

m. He said it was possible under FIDE's rules to have the first of the 24 games postponed until Tuesday if Fischer wanted it. However, other sources said Fischer could be disqualified if he does not show up for the first game. Lothar Schmidt, the German' Grand Master serving as official arbitar at the match, said the first game could be postponed if the official match physician finds medical reason for Fischer to ask for a delay. The temperamental 29-year old challenger three times postponed his departure from New York without giving, any explanation.

Some chess sources said he was playing a game of nerves, trying to upset the 35 year old champion, who' has been in Iceland since June 21 preparing for the marathon match which will include 24 games. Others said Fischer was stalling because he was not happy with the money 3 NO CAVITIES Seven year old Zamba the lion opened his jaws about as wide as he could and let out a roar at a bank opening in Costa Saturday.

It had a price tag of $150 on it, but the book store guy said somebody had ordered the tape player, by mistake and if the Inspector General ever found it hp would be in a lot of trouble. Who took the loss?" The hurry up and wait routine which has probably frustrated American servicemen since the first Army was formed is still part army life, even in 1972, even in reserve training units, "There was this officer in our class who wanted to attend a broadcast training school but before he could be assigned to it he first had to have one of the required courses. "He was told there was a shortage of men interested in the required course so he would have to wait until the class quota was met. This officer sat around from April to June to get into the next class, and then they turned around and waived the required course! Lt. said.

i Richland County Assistant County Prosecutor L. Stanley Boord, 28, a i 1 1 a born, Ohio University graduate and ROTC officer, took his two years active duty assignment. He had intended to go to law school, but he was studied- out" and wanted to get his service time finished up. In May, 1966, he was at Ft. Benning, Ga.

"The instruction we got there was fantastic but the facilities and the waste of materiel!" "We had a night ambush problem and used blank ammunition. The ambush exercise didn't work and we were left with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. We were told to bury it," he said. "We had a hill attack exercise. There was no ammo because of a shortage at the camp site so the officers told us to simulate the sounds our weapons would make if we had ammo.

You know, make oral sounds. "Guys with M-16s roared up the hill going bam bam, machine gunners sang out rat tat tat tat and the grenade launcher sounds were ka- flooey, or something like that," ex Lt. Boord said. He recalled the last day on the firing range when no officer showed up to grade the targets. We fired our rifles down range and graded ourselves.

We finished up with 160 Expert riflemen, but then decided that it wouldn't look too hot to have 160 Experts. So 10 men volunteered to take the next lowest grading, Marksman," Atty. Boord said. He went on to motor pool school at Ft. Knox, and then spent the next 18 months in Germany.

Boord admits to never being too mechanically inclined, but there he was. a motor pool officer. In Germany he served as the buffer between the command officers and his men. He said one of the biggest objections to the Army, besides waste, was the utter disregard for the peon (the GI, the enlisted man). "The waste, the hours were insane, the supply system didn't work.

I'd say the future of the U. Army isn't good at all. "They're losing the best men because they serve their hitch and then get out. And after all the time and money and training what a waste," Boord said. Ex- Lt.

Boord said he went on a bland diet after he was discharged. "I had to." He went on to law school at Ohio State University and was admitted to the bar last June. Today he is assistant county prosecutor and the Army is only a memory. He is married and has a four -year old daughter, Stacy.

The computers were scrapped and the Army turned around and re ordered them, and the same thing happened to other expensive, sophisticated equipment.

During field training exercises the officers dined on C- rations and the day the session ended they found themselves with several extra cases. "We were told to get rid of the food so we threw it in a 50- gallon drum and burned it as fuel to keep warm. Some kept ration packs for souvenirs." It was the same on the firing range, Lt. said. "We had a lot of M-15 rifle ammunition left over, boxes of it and it costs some 10 or 11 cents a round, I think.

Well, we shot off clip after clip of it. There were other classes to follow us, why they didn't save the ammo for them I'll never know. "I recall one of our instructors shooting belt after belt Into the ground to get rid of it. It was same with tear gas and yellow smoke canisters.
