Spassky 's walkout forced another postponement' of the world championship match, worth $250,000 to the winner, until Thursday, at the earliest REPRESENTATIVES of Spassky' and Fischer met for 2 hours late Tuesday but failed to resolve differences. Attorney Paul Marshall, who with Rev. William Lombardl, 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. i Spassky left the door open, however, for the match to be played. "I still want to play the match if there is a solu-' tion. I will not ply 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.

Despite the failure to reach an agreement, Euwe said he was still optimistic that the match would begin Thursday. 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) V' Sparklers And Sparks Drive mm N. 0 1 0' Si ci Qycwug Tiro 3s Smooiflhily ..4 VTi ft Addressing the nation over radio on the 4th of July, President Nixon Issued an "invitation to the world" to visit the United States in 1976 for our bicentennial celebration.

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 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. Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats." When newsmen were ushered into the office following the speech, Nixon said: "Everybody seems to have a good tan. I've been swimming every day." As the reporters left, the President admon 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.

Some '-senior officials even speculated Tuesday that the latest development might bring pressure on' Hanoi to negotiate an end to the Vietnam War "First China invited enemy No. 1, the United States, to Peking," one senior State Department official said. "Now, North Korea has a friendly dialogue with enemy No. 2, South Korea, which has as many troops in South Vietnam as the United States.

This must have a damaging effect on Hanoi's morale." IN THEIR first assessment of the developing strategic situation in Asia, State Department officials have concluded that both Seoul and Pyongyang, taking their lead from Washington and Peking, must have decided that detente was the wave of the future in East Asia. -In separate interviews, officials noted the parallels that also existed between the decision of the two Koreas to meet and discuss their problems and the current talks between the two German states to work out a frame-work for future relations. The only other divided country, the officials pointed out, was Vietnam.
