"I don't want to see any of yon messed up." The state police were called after guards tried and failed to end the riot with tear gas. The disturbance quickly grew out of control because the guard force was "woefully understaffed for this size population," said Elmanus Herndoa, assistant director of the State Corrections Department Herndoa said a regular 35-man the California primary that gave McGovern a big boost ia his successful quest for the Democratic pretntential aeati-aatioa. Eagietoa said Sunday that a money put ap by the Icelandic Chess Federatioa and British financier and chess buff James Slater.

The loser gets $9175. In additioa each player will collect 30 per cent of the income from the sale of television and movie righta. Before Fischer's complaints about the cameras this had been expected to amount to $27,500 each. An indication that a private playing area would be used came early in the afternoon when two of Fischer's closest aides traveled secretly to the playing center to inspect a small back room. Father William Lombardy, an American grandmaster and Fischer's second, and Paul Marshal.

Fischer's lawyer, slipped into the auditorium by a side entrance. Fischer had complained that his concentration was disturbed by cameras hidden in spy holes in the public auditorium. He asked that the cameras be re moved. Up to game time no one really knew whether Fischer would show up. Father Lombardy said the refusal of the tournament committee on Saturday to scrub the second game forfeit awarded to Spassky was not acceptable to Fischer.

Spassky won the first game which started on Tuesday and finished Wednesday. Complaining about the cameras in the main auditorium, Fischer did not show up for the second game on Thursday and the second point went to Spassky for forfeit. Spassky needs 12 points to win and Fischer 12V4. A player gets a point for winning a game and a half point for a draw. Dr.

Max Euwe, president of International Chess Federation, ruled on Saturday that Spassky would retain his title should Fischer fail to play by Tuesday, date of the fourth of the 24 title games. The Soviets were raring to go. "Boris is ready to play and always has been," bis second I said.

And be said he is satisfied that wasteful military programs can be eliminated and the nation's defease budget cut next year ia the range of $8 billioe to $10 bUUoa with ao haras to American defense capabilities.

Eagietoa appeared oa the CBS television-radio program, "Face the Nation." It was his first nationally broadcast interview since accepting the nomination. MacGregor spoke ea the ABC show "Issues and Answers," and Dole waa on NBC's "Meet the Press." Both said it was too early to tell how much of an issue the Vietnam war would be. "If they want to make it an issue, we're ready," Dole said. MacGregor, asked bow Nixon would counter McGovern's antiwar stand, said: "A lot depends on how much Sen. McGovern stands in the way of progress at Paris." He referred to the recently resumed peace talks in the French capital.

In an interview at her home in Salt Lake City, meanwhile, Mrs. Westwood said the party "reforms so far have been good, but they have not had enough public input and study. We need more bearings, for example." Speaking about Eagleton's selection, Mrs. Westwood said: "Each of us on the staff there were about 30 put in four names which we thought were the best choices. We had 55 names." The list finally was narrowed down to Mayor Kevin White of Boston; Sen.

Abraham Ribicoff, and Eagleton, she said. She predicted organized labor would support the Democrats. "The trouble with labor was that its leaders didn't understand the significance of the reform," she said. "They do now. They'll begin working bard to regain their voice in the partyThey're not going to go to Richard Nixon.

What can be give labor?" Eagleton also said he expects that when such Democratic figures as Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and AFL-CIO Presi- lave it. It eaal end." Fischer, playing black and so moving second, ended the day one pawn up, matching Spasky's bishop and queen, but in a strong position for mate. The game opened with a typical Fischer defense, the Nimzo-Indiaa merging into the Beaoni counter a strong play for domination of the center of the board, where most kills are made and most games won. The boy from Brooklyn attacked from all sides: He slammed down the queenside, he switched to the kingside, he switched back to the queenside and then he struck down the middle.

Spassky bit his nails. Fischer leaned back, swivelled in his a i leaned forwardand moved rook to king two. It was the 23rd move. Spassky, moving his 24th, moved queen to queen three. In other words, be mounted his defense.

Then, for one moment it looked as if be had the chance of mate. But Fischer moved one piece, and at once regained the initiative. That was the 35th move. Six moves later, it was over for the day. Visiting grandmasters rattled a dozen possible routes to mate off the tops of their heads.

Lesser talents worked it out on chess boards. Spassky arrived shortly before the scheduled starting time for the game 5 p.m., or 1 p.m. EDT. Fischer loped in after the Russian had made bis first move, bent over the table with a smile and shook Spassky's hand. Spassky began the game with a queen's pawn opening, his fa vorite.

Fischer replied with knight to king's bishop three. Spassky continued by advancing bis queen's bishop's pawn to the fourth rank and Fischer made pawn to king's three. After Spassky's third move- knight to king's bishop three- Fischer made pawn to queen bishop four. The game was beginning along the lines of in opening called the Nimzo-Indian, the line of play in their first game, when Spassky was also playing wmte. Spassky won that game.

As at a silent movie, toe sev eral hundred spectators in the sports palace watched Fischer gesticulate to the refer- ee, apparently complaining about something. There was no Eagleton (CONTINUED ntOM PAGE ONE) McGovern in South Dakota for a strategy conference possibly this week, frankly conceded Sen. Edward M.

The audience laughed out loud.

After a few minutes, Schmid came onto the empty stage and said be felt obliged to "explain a strange situation." There is a match for the world championship but there are no chess players here, Schmid said meaning in the outer room. "Bobby Fischer protested against certain condi tions. He feels disturbed for sev eral The referee said that according to Rule 21 the organizers guarantee players against dis turbance. If one complains, he can demand that the game be moved to a closed room. "I took the responsibility to move the game just for today," Schmid said.

Their light was being filtered through 105. specially made frosted glass panels. The intensity of the light could be raised or lowered by a system of switches. It was installed on Fischer's demand and it cost $5,500.

In the back room the game went on and by the fifth move the line of play had switched into what chess experts called the Modern Benoni defense. It was Fischer, playing the black pieces, who forced the shift Experts said the Benoni was a defense that imposed a sharp fight on the center of the board. It was a variation designed for victory This meant that Fischer was out for blood, desperately trying to restore the balance in his fa vor for his 0-2 deficit. Spectators in the hall could see the players' moves on a large screen above and in front of the stage in the hall and on a dummy chess board.

"This information is constantly computer correlated, updated and the operations go on 24 hours a day." While the Defense Depart ment refused comment, as is customary in intelligence mat te other knowledgeable sources denied that U.S. planes fly over Russia gathering in telligence data.

Peck" said that 80 per cent of all "viable U.S. intelligence" comes from NSA-monitored communications. "Information gathered by NSA is complete," he said. "It covers what foreign govern ments are doing, planning to do.

Its mission goes all the way from calling in the B52s in Vietnam to monitoring every aspect of the Soviet space pro gram," he said. As for. Soviet intelligence against the U.S., "Peck" said, Actually, they don't get that much. They aren't able to break our advanced computer- gener ated scrambler system, which accounts' for most of the infor mation we transmit, "The key to it is that we have a ting of bases around them," he explained.

"They try to make up for the lack of bases by using trawlers for gathering data, but it's not the same. They're on the defensive. "Peck" said he listened to a conversation between Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and a cosmonaut killed on reentry. Kosygin was crying," the for mer analyst recalled.

He said any decision oa amnesty by either nun "would await the day when aO our forces are out of Vietnam" and would be settled ea a case-by -case basis. Neither Nixon nor McGovern is advocating amnesty for deserters.

Asked about a tax raise, Eagietoa said: "I think at some time in the future, perhaps in the year "74 or so. Jf we are going to accomplish some of the things we must do domestically must have the added revenue to do it" Patersoa predicted that Daley, who was denied a seat at the Democratic convention and who has not commented so far on the party's selection, probably would support McGovern. "I believe that Daley, in his own way, has the principles of the Democratic party at heart and as a strong believer in the party will probably support the Democratic nominee," Paterson Paterson appeared on the NBC show, "Open Circuit" Newsweek magazine said a survey by its correspondents in 50 states showed that if the election were held today.
