The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the American's conduct insulting and intolerable. opening match yesterday. But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first be-cause Fischer was not present.

He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48-hour postponement of the opener, originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on tomorrow. Match must wait a day Thi Attocitltd Mil REYKJAVIK. Iceland The world championship chess match between Jiobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start tomorrow afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion.

After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed was one of the most critically important decisions of the Vietnam War. On his first overseas assignment, Weyand was sent to the intelligence section of Gen. Joseph Stilwell's World War II headquarters in Burma and India. Towards the end of the war, he served briefly in tlic headquarters of the China theater in Chung-king. During the Korean War, Weyand commanded a battalion that helped to hold the corridor that allowed marines and soldiers retreating from Chinese Communist forces to get back to Hung-nam, on the North Korean coast, for evacuation.

He also spent several months at third division headquarters. first American combat division was sent to South Vietnam, Weyand took command of the U.S. 25th infantry division in Hawaii. One at a time, the three brigades in his division were ordered to the war zone. Finally, In March of 1906, Weyand arrived with the last major element and commanded the division in combat for a year.

Then he moved to the headquarters of the third military region, which encompasses Saigon, where he served briefly as deputy commander before becoming commander for more than a year. Three weeks before the Tct offensive in 1968, Weyand, as commander of the military region, convinced Gen. Wil-liam Westmoreland, then commander of American forces in Vietnam, to redeploy troops, operating near the border, closer to Saigon. When the attack came, American troops were in a position to react quickly. Westmoreland later said this GEN.

Frederick Weyand as a chairman-of-the-board type, while another officer says he is a diplomatic type. Trie new commander of American forces in South Vietnam is also a fair musician he plays the saxophone and the steel guitar and an athlete, first rate at tennis and golf. He has served tours of duty in all parts of the world, as well as Washington, and three wars, since he was commissioned as a reserve officer in 1938 while attending the University of California at Berkeley. The tall, youthful-looking 55-year-old general impresses junior officers by his practice of often saluting before he is saluted.

In style and appearance Weyand is an opposite of Gen. Creighton Abrams, whom he has served as deputy for most of the last two years and whom he succeeded last week. But," officers' who have worked with both say the two men agreed on Vietnam, and no major changes are expected at Weyand presides over the American withdrawal. "You could talk to either one of them, they both thought the same," a high-ranking officer said. "If there was any difference in handling things, their subordinates couldn't detect it." 'M fir if A' 2 4 1 Chess-title rivals do have similarities Reuters News Strvict REYKJAVIK The world chess championship has captured imaginations around the globe more for its clash of personalities than lor the exquisite tactical struggles expected the chessboard.

Psychology and personality are often more vital factors in chess than in more physical sports though physical training to build up endurance and concentration is as impor- tant in the seemingly cerebral game as in any other. The often bizarre preliminaries to this championship have focussed unprecedented attention on the volatile challenger, 29-year-old Bobby Fischer, and the apparently poised champion, 35-year-old Boris Spassky. In addition a unique clash of cultures if not politics is underlined by the long grip of Soviet players on the world title and by Fischer's past criticisms of the Russians. But the apparent differences in the two ne men's present personalities mask intriguing similarities in their progress toward their places today at the center of an attention unparalleled in the game. Both are tall, physically fit men who take care to stay in shape through sports.

Both were born of Jewish mothers Fischer in Chicago of a German father and Spassky in Leningrad of a Russian father. Like many grandmasters, both learned chess early Spassky at five and Fischer at six though it was a few years before either began to become really interested in the game. Both emerged as prodigies in their teens, and later went through rough patches before they could fully harness their extraordinary talents. Fischer was American champion at the age of 14 and at 15 became the world's youngest international grandmaster. Weyand brings broad experience in South Vietnam and the Pacific to his new job.

For the 15 months prior to becoming Abrams' deputy, he served as the military adviser to the U.S. delegation to the Paris Peace Talks.

He said his new job pays him $300 a week, compared with the $100,000 annually he earned in encyclopedias. In a recent interview, he said he made the change because he liked "the lifestyle. "I was under a lot of pressure before," and, he said, "the work seems more to take a closer look. We need an independent auditor to find out where the money is going." According to McKenzie, 35 per cent of the money collected goes for commissions, expenses and salaries.

The remaining 65 per cent, he says is available for environmental work.

Before he turned to the citizen's group, McKenzie, who is 32, was divisional sales manager in Chicago for P. F.

Collier the marketing company for Collier's Encyclopedia. McKenzie selected Dr. Glenn Paulson, executive director of the Scientists' Committee for Public Information, as chairman of the board of advisers for the operation here. Asked why he selected Paulson, McKenzie said, "I picked him because I had to start somewhere." Paulson, in turn, selected leaders of other environmental organizations to serve with him on the board. The board was allowed to allocate funds after expenses had been deducted.

Soon after the teams of canvassers began fanning out in some of the suburban areas near New York City, the complaints started coming in from housewives about high-pressure tactics. Because of that, Town of Hempstead officials in suburban Nassau County have refused to allow the canvassers to solicit freely from door to door as charitable groups are allowed to do. Since the canvassers are paid, they must abide by the town's new peddler ordinance, which requires a $3 registration fee for each canvasser and prohibits solicitors from entering private property unless invited. Citizens for a Better Environment operate under these restrictions, McKenzie says, and the solicitors are bypassing Hempstead. New York State Attorney General Louis, J.

Lefkowitz said his office had called in the group's leaders and warned them that there would be a crackdown "unless they cut out that heavy-handed stuff." There were complaints, Lefkowitz said, of rude, aggressive behavior on the part of canvassers who were demanding a $3 minimum contribution in the name of the environment. But if the environmental groups that stand to benefit from the fund-raising are having second thoughts now, they are reluctant to cut off the source of money. Peter Kah, director of Citizens for Clean Air and one of the five environmental activists picked for the fund-raisers' board of advisers, said, "maybe we've been slightly dazzled by being able to get projects funded, and we have The New York Times Newt Servict NEW YORK Environmental groups are taking a second lnok at a new door-to-door monev-raisinf? plan that has brouiht them a fresh source of funds, but has run into opposition from some homeowners and government officials over its aggressive tactics. The plan was begun more than a year in Chicago by a group of encyclopedia salesmen who decided to adapt their selling techniques to raising funds for the environment. The funds are solicited in the name of Citizens for a Better Environment by canvassers recruited through advertisements in newspapers.

The canvassers keep 25 per cent of everything they collect. The fund-raising started here after John McKenzie FBI chief outraged at 'ghastly' charge The Associated Press SAN DIEGO, Calif. L. Patrick Gray III, acting director of the FBI, says he is outraged at "monstrous allegations" that the law enforcement is used to repress blacks and the poor. "To equate law enforcement with repression is one of the most dangerous threats to a free society," Gray said in a speech.
