City officials had prepared themselves for an influx of tens of thousands of so-called noa- but at most only gathered at any one time. Several moths ago, Hall began meeting with leaders of the groups that planned demonstrations during the convention. He ako led the fight that opened a cUy park for camping during the convention.

Pomerance organized the 800- man security force that surrounded Convention Hall, but at the same time instructed his men cot to hassle people in the park sbcut smoking marijuana Or skinny dipping in the pool. "The police were just beautiful," said Fred Wanerstrand, a member of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. would have been a blood bath, our Wood, if they wanted to do anything." Fcr the demonstrators, the Democratic convention was just a warm up, a dress rehearsal for the Republican National Convention six weeks from now in Miami Beach. Tfcey had gocd thing going with the police and the city, and trouble would only spoil it. "We showed the people of Miami Beach that we could ccnduct a nonviolent demonstration," said Zippie leader Dana Seal.

''They did not believe us before, but I think we proved something to them. We get our message across without hurting anyone or trashing anything." After the fection of Con- tention Hall fence was torn down on the first night, protest planners orjanUed a group of marshals to keep people in liw. When demonstrators marched to the hall the next night, a line of people from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War separated them from the fence. "There are times in history when revolutionaries must unite with the liberals," said antiwar activist Jerry Rubin. "This is one of those times."

Eat All You Wont ported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spsssky because Fischer failed to appear. The decision left Fischer two games down in a 21-game i match where Fischer needs the I 1 equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title.

Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the Ameri- jcan challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, referee Lothar Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the 24-game match would be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Schmid said it depends on whether Fischer continues his boycott. He added that the World Chess Federation -FIDE couH step in at any time and disqualify him.

But Dr. Max Euwe, president of the organization, said Schmid was still in charge of the match and must decide how to handle the American. A spokesman for promoter Chester Fox, who bought the movie and TV rights for the match from the Icelandic Ches. Federation, said the cameras had to stay because "the whole Inandal structure of the match depends on it." It was the prospect of movie and TV sales tha 1 allowed the Icelanders to offei a record $125,000 purse to th wo players, and Fischer ant Spassky are also to divide of the movie-TV mone; estimated at a minimum $55,000.
