1 -5 Hy PHILIP AUKS Even if Hobby Fischer loses to Boris Spassky in the world championship match next week in Reykjavik, Iceland, Fischer already has captured the imagination of Iloosier "wood pushers." With all the pregame publicity, Fischer has popularized the ancient game that stresses intuitive ability, concentration and a powerful memory. But the American grandmaster' won't lose the match, contend several Hoosiers who are "following the game." And they're not speaking vicariously. They played the high-school dropout chess genius at the hall of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1504, 6501 Massachusetts, in 1964. Fischer, 21 then, played 50 games simultaneously and he beat all but two opponents. Li I for Western Electric, who lost to Fischer in the 1964 match.

"Fischer smashed me in about 20 moves," Lindenborg said. How will Fischer do against the older Russian? Lindenborg and Makutenas are confident Bobby will win. "I think he'll win hands down, if he doesn't get mentally upset," Lindenborg said. "I think he's going to win because he's younger and more aggressive," added Makutenas. Both men feel the publicity of the match will benefit chess lovers in Indiana and throughout the U.S.

"Chess is a discipline, and kids need this game along with sports like basketball," Lindenborg said. Other Stories on Page 21 "I won in 14 moves," Makutenas said today when asked about the meet sponsored by the Western Electric Chess Club. "I think I won because I prepared to play his game, the king's gambit variation, and that's what Fischer played." Makutenas says he would like lo play Fischer again, not individually, but in another simultaneous game situation. A check by The News showed retail sales of chess sets have increased in the city and an industrial chess league has been established. But the real enthusiasm generated by "the game" is among "wood pushers" like George Lindcnborg, a chemist Joe Couperous, 7545 E.

Raymond, came away with a draw. But Stasys Makutenas, 4007 E. beat Fischer. Impossible, you say? 4 1m THE NEWS waves to crowd in Montqomery, Ala. AP.

In his speech, the first he has made since the shooting at a Laurel, shopping cenler, the governor said the Democratic party and Federal government have forgotten for too long the needs and wishes of the average citizen and the Democrats will have a chance to win in November only "if they present a platform that will recognize the average citizen is the bulwark of the party's strength." He said he is "going to insist" at the convention that the party' adopt a platform "which will tell the average citizen that we are responsive to your needs." Tired Of 'Noisemakers' Too much in the past, he said, the party has "paid attention to a small number of noisemakers." But the people of this country are "tired of being ignored," he said, "and the Democratic party must face that realization." Wallace's biggest ovation from the crowd came when he spoke of school busing as "senseless and asinine." He said the shooting left him "only temporarily sidelined from the fight." But he said, "We shall continue in the future as in the past to represent the people of this state who feel as we do.

The people of Alabama represent, the altitudes of the vast majority of the people of the United Slates." In closing his speech, he gave lhanks to God "for having spared my life." Wallace's brunette wife, Cornelia, stood at his side. Before he spoke, she told him, "If you can't make the, speech, I can." A neiwork newsman, Steve Bell of ABC, accompanied Wallace on the flight to Montgomery, as a pool representative of the news media. He said the governor was nervous as he returned home and once during the flight Mrs. Wallace gave him a pep talk.

300 Face Jail, Loss Of License By MAC TRUSNIK Police cycle men checked the downtown area today for flagrant parking violators and cars were being impounded until delinquent fines are paid. Violators, who have disregarded police warnings to pay tines and whose cars cannot be found, face immediate arrest and a possible suspended driver's license, said Lt. Richard Paul, of the traffic branch. Paul has been named by Deputy Chief George Pollard to head the police drive to clear up the city's parking violation situation. Traffic officials have estimated more than 100,000 city parking tickets have been ignored by motorists some dating back more than two years.

Three cars, owners of which owe nearly $200 in fines, were towed to storage yesterday. The vehicles were found in the 300 block of North Pennsylvania and 300 block of East Ohio, and at 1400 West 10th. Police also contacted more than 20 motorists regarding unpaid -fines. Each person notified will be checked a couple of days later against a list of fine payments in the Traffic Violations Bureau. Paul said if the fines are not paid, the cars will be towed in by private contractors to storage lots.

Owners of cars not found will be subject to arrest and court appearances, Paul said. "Motorists not appearing in court will face a suspended driver's license for up to a year," Paul said. Police said more than 300 persons are on the current list of repeated parking violators, who owe $40 or more in tickets. Costs, in addition to what they owe on tickets, include $10, if their car is impounded, and $2 per day storage fee. Meanwhile, officials in the Traffic Violations Bureau have reported a "brisk business" since the campaign started last week.

One man paid $260 in overdue ticket fines shortly after the crackdown was ordered. Other amounts paid have ranged from $150 to $40, officials said. Traffic tickets may be paid on the first floor of police headquarters, 50 N. Alabama, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday.

Ieacr's uearn Probed CHICAGO (UPI) An autopsy was conducted today on Barbara Cooper, 28, a Chicago schoolteacher found stabbed in her Northside apartment near Chicago's lakefront.

The victim was a native of Fortville, and came here a year ago from Milwaukee, where she had taught school, police said. Her 1970 Dodge auto, carrying 1972 Wisconsin license plates, was sought, they said. Miss Cooper was found on her bed in her fourth-floor apartment last night. Damen Avenue Homicide Sgt. Joseph Di Leonardi said she had been dead about five days, but an autopsy would have to determine when she died and the cause of death.

The decomposed body had multiple stab wounds in the chest and a cord, the type used to bind drapery, was wrapped around her neck, he said. She was dressed only in a brassiere, and a pillow covered her face. Police were searching for "all friends and associates" of the victim and had no immediate suspects, Di Leonardi said. Neighbors in her five-story apartment building gave few clues to the death, police said. The body was discovered after a janitor noticed an odor coming from her apartment.

In the apartment, chairs were overturned and some objects knocked off a table, they said. There were no signs of forced entry. No knife was found. Di Leonardi said Miss Cooper was the daughter of Mrs. Harriett Anderson of Fortville, Ind.
