Slater made bis offer after the Icelandic Chess Federation's board rejected Fischer's de mands for 30 per cent of the gate receipts.

Swindle-Guard Ready REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer was reported ready Monday night to meet Soviet titlebolder Boris Spassky for the world chess championship and a prize pot sweetened by $130,000 from a Londin banker. Paul Marshall, a lawyer in New York for Fischer, said the 29-year-old American challenger had accepted banker James D. Slater's offer of the extra prize money and would be in Reykjavik by the Tuesday noon deadline. Earlier Monday, the sponsors of the championship match turned down Fischer's bid for a cut of the gate receipts in addition to the prize money previously agreed on. Marshall quoted Fischer as saying of Slater's proposal: "I gotta accept it.

It's a stupendous offer." He said Fischer consid ered the gesture "incredible and generous and brave." Slater said in London he received confirmation of Fischer's acceptance by telephone and had been told the challenger planned to fly to Reykjavik. Fischer must arrive in Rey kjavik by noon Tuesday 8 a.m. EDTor forfeit his chance at Spassky and the title. The first game is to begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday 1 p.m.

As for the situation at Philadelphia, the ATA vice president for public Warren N. Martin described it as "an ungodly mess." "The bead-tax collection problems, combined with the heavy holiday traffic, jammed the terminal area with long, long lines of passengers in front of all ticket counters," Martin said. "One airline reported that none of their planes were getting out on time. "Another carrier told me that their planes were being consistently delayed by reason of the head tax collection and refusal processes, from 20 minutes to an hour and 25 minutes. "Thousands of people refused to pay the tax, upon which refusal most carriers asked the passenger to fill out and sign al special torm.

WASHINGTON (AP) Newly devised taxes on air passengers went into effect over the weekend at five airports, but thousands of travelers refused to pay the new fees.
