PETERSBURG, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1972 10 CENTS A COPY And Wow It's 's Turn .1 v. Sites 1 Spassky i I-, REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Russian chesa champion Boris Spassky stalked out of a meeting Tuesday, charging he and the Soviet Union had been Insulted by Bobby Fischer and demanding that the American challenger be punished before they play for the world title. Spassky's walkout forced another postponement of the world championship match, worth $250,000 to the winner, until Thursday, at the earliest. Fischer, tired from his flight from New, York Tuesday morning, wai sleeping In a villa provided by the Icelandic organizers.

REPRESENTATIVES of Spassky and Fischer met for 2tf hours late Tuesday but failed to resolve differences. Attorney Paul Marshall, who with Rev. William spoke for Fischer, said Spassky's advisers submitted two statements one by Spassky and the other from the Soviet Chess Federation. "The matter is so delicate that I don't want to reveal the contents," Marshall said. He added that the discussions "were frank and we will hopefully be able to resume them tomorrow." "We are hopeful that we will solve the problems tomorrow so the match can be played," Marshall said.

He refused to answer questions from newsmen and hurriedly left the conference room with Rev. a Catholic priest and a chess grand master. THE RUSSIANS refused to comment. The postponement was the second of the 24-game series that originally was scheduled to start last Sunday. It was first postponed until Tuesday because Fischer demanded more money.

"By this, Fischer Insulted me personally and the chess federation of the USSR which I represent," Spassky, 35, said. He said he would not play until the International Chess Federation (FIDE) punished Fischer. Spassky left the door open, however, for the match to be played. "I still want to play the match If there Is a solu- tlon. I will not play today.

I will make my decision in the next few days," he said. FIDE PRESIDENT Max Euwe did not share Spassky's confidence. "The situation is critical. I don't know If the match will be played at all. I am very pessimistic," Euwe said.

He said new talks between representatives of Spassky and Fischer would be held later In the day. But if the talks on "personal relations" between the two players failed "then the match is off," (See CHESS, 1S-A) i7 Vistf 1 1 urn; I CD Qyln)gJ Sparklers And Sparks Addressing the nation over radio on the Fourth of July, President Nixon issued an "invitation to the world" to visit the United States In 1976 for our bicentennial celebration. 1 More than 15,000 Danes and Americans gathered in Denmark's Rebild Hills for the 60th annual Indepen- -fa dence Day rally in that spot and were treated with vintage Danny Kaye.

IN HIS speech from his Western White House office, Nixon concentrated on plans for the nation's Bicentennial celebration, especially efforts to attract 28-million foreign tourists in 1976, double the flow of visitors last year. The President said the celebration, which has been the object of periodic controversy, will be divided Into three themes: "Heritage '76" which SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) President Nixon Tuesday offered to open the nation's borders and urged Americans to open their own homes to a flood of foreign visitors In 1976 when the United States celebrates its 200th birthday. "Let America be known throughout the world as the 'Land of the Open the President said In an Indepen-, dence Day radio address to will concentrate on history; "Horizons" which will stress goals for the third century, and "Festival USA," the campaign to increase tourism. The radio address was the only thing on the President's Fourth of July schedule.

He was spending a quiet day at. his bluff-top villa overlooking the Pacific. THE PRESIDENT, clad in a red sports jacket, white shirt and blue tie sat at his desk to read the speech. In brief banter with technicians before he went on the air, Nixon likened the address to former president Franklin D.

Tanaka's election came on the second ballot, when he polled a majority vote of 282.

Roy Wilkins, NAACP execu- tive director, said the resolution "condemns Nixon because Nixon is the President of the United States and has no business leading the fight for a constitutional amendment against busing." WILKINS SAID the resolution passed by the 2,500 delegates to the NAACP's 63rd annual convention, states: "Nixon, in calling for a moratorium (on federal court-ordered busing) and asking Congress to forbid courts to prescribe busing in cases that have come before them, was interfering with one of the (See NAACP, 13-A) NEW DEMOCRATIC SEAL selected for convention.

IN THE early 1960s homeowners fearing a nuclear holocaust brought in the bulldozers, tore holes in their backyards, and built private bomb shelters. Ten years later, a spot check of owners around New Jersey show most of the shelters have been converted to wine cellars, dens, tool shops, or children's playrooms.

Some persons who built the shelters were reluctant to talk about them. Others said their shelters were sealed several years ago. Lauer, however, uses his regularly. THE WESTFIELD resident called it "a home away from home." "I get a lot of pleasure out of it," he said. "I have police radios, television, cooking facilities, a refrigerator and canned food storage." "I sleep here in the summer.

It's cooler. When I come home in the evening I spend about three or four hours here, cooking supper and relaxing. My wife uses the main kitchen." Most shelters were built during the era of the Cuban miss'le crisis, 10 years ago this autumn. Con tractors did a booming business but as the urgency of protection fell off, so did the fallout-shelter trade. "THE NUMBER of inquiries since the Cuban situation has tapered off very rapidly," said Kenneth LaToure'tte, state Civil Defense operations officer said in Trenton.

"We get queries very infrequently. If we've gotten as many as five in the past year we've been doing very well." He said the state organization had not kept records of construction of fallout shelters and did not know how many had actually been built.
