Faced with a decision of disqualifying Fischer immediately or granting reprieve, Euwe chose the path be said would best protect the host organization. Fischer's representatives here had asked for a postponement on the basis of illness. They said the American was suffering fatigue. The, rules require that a postponement for illness must be certified by a doctor that the host organization choses. Typical of confusion surrounding preparations for the match, the federation doctor, TJlfar Thor-darson, left for his country house early Sunday morning.

The Russian side reluctantly accepted Euwe't decision. Spassky 'was asked what be thought of the situation and the 35-year-old champion replied: "I came to play." At a late afternoon news conference where he announced the decision on the postponement, Euwe said: "I think there will be no play at alL That it my personal opinion." Euwe had said earlier that cancellation would be "a great loss in many, respects for the Icelandic organizers who have great Investment at stake and for the game of chess itself." Americans claiming to represent Fischer here did not want Fischer disqualified. "One of the troubles It that there is no one here who can act on the authority of Fischer," Euwe added. "The situation is extremely difficult" By his tone Euwe seemed to favor the alternative he described as "just postponing the first game for two days. And If Fischer is not here by Tuesday at noon at the drawing of lots he loses all rights." Fischer pleaded illness in asking postponement of the opening match until Tuesday.

After a dispute over whether this request was legitimate, Euwe, chief referee Lothar Schmidt of West Germany and the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation invited Spassky and his aides to a meeting in a Reykjavik hotel and asked if they would accept Fischer's request Ononis way into the meeting Spassky was asked about his reaction to the American grandmaster's latest gambit The world champion replied: "That's Fischer's business." Fred Cramer, one of several Americans here claiming to speak for Fischer, said be had the) imnmccimi hm ViMdM, HIV t.0l..mu wanted the match played. Cramer claimed two tele-grams supporting Fischer's claim of illness had been lost He said one was from his physician, the other from the U.S. Chess Federation.

POST Dear Mrs.

Post: Recently a neighbor and I attended a church wedding of another neighbor's daughter. She slipped into the side pew, but the usher extended his arm to escort me down the aisle. My friend called to me and said to step out of the aisle and be seated in the rear of the church as we were not guests (only friends who had -seen the girl grow up). I was always under the -impression that anyone could view a wedding if interested, as it is a thing of beauty. Feeling conspicuous 'I asked the usher to please deposit me in the rear immediately, although he kept insisting it was quite all right I would not wish this to happen 'again as it was embarrassing.

Will you please give your opinion on this matter? Vera Dear Vera if this should happen again. tell the usher firmly that you are not an invited guest sim ply an old friend and would prefer slipping into a rear pew. It is perfectly all right to attend a wedding in this way. Hut tt is not right to allow yourself to be placed in a seat farther up one which should be given to an invited guest Dear Mrs. Post: Can you please settle an argument in our family? Some of my sisters-in-law say that at a wed ding reception each member of a family, including children, re ceives a slice of wedding cake, and some of us say it is one slice to a family.

What it the proper procedure? Mrs. J.F. Dear Mrs. Every guest at a wedding reception should be offered a piece of wedding cake. If one slice were given to a family, now in the world would it be divided up, or would the head of the family eat it alone? That would hardly seem fair to the others.

The ultimatum, announced by Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, meant a two-day postponement of Fischer's encounter with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia. The match was to have started at 5 p.m. Sunday 1 p.m.

EDT. Euwe said a friend of the American challenger was leaving for New York "to talk with him." "He will try. to convince him to appear I can't say who it is," he added. Fischer refused to -play the match after officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation balked at his last-minute demands for more money, in addition to a record purse already contracted for. www Fischer and Spassky were to have a guaranteed share of $125,000 the winner taking five- eighths plus 30 per cent each of income from the sale of film and television rights.

This alone was 10 times greater than any prize money ever paid to a chess player. Fischer wants an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts.
