UNDER THE constitution laid down by De Gaulle, the head of state may change his governments whether or not the National Assembly has confidence in them, unlike most Western European nations where the bead of state Is a titular figure. Chaban Delmas nominally resigned. But his letter of resignation said: "You have informed me of your intention of changing the government." This made it clear Pompidou had taken the Initiative in dismissing him.

He said the Soviets apparently thought fcjscher would not appear at PJl and were thus "too clever cn their side," but he added he believed Spassky wanted to ELO, WHO is now lecturing at the University of Wisconsin after retiring from Marquette University's physics department, developed a four-digit numerical ranking of players based on results in tournament and match play which for the last two years has put Fischer first in the world's top 20 2,760 to Spassky's THe said the 1972 rankings, due shortly, would even widen the margin. They Include recent victories while Spassky has not done as expected in Moscow and Gothenburg, Sweden. If the championship match goes on in normal fashion, he said, he had predicted fischer to win in 21 games, to not needing the full 24-game series. Monroe Newborn of Columbia University's electrical engineering and computer science department, who Is a developer of programming Computers for chess, said lscher had fought hard for recognition, but "I can't ad- Imire him for. having done what he did" in the current: maneuvers.

Samuel Reshevsky, eight-time American champion and how tied with Kavalek and jRobert Byrne, said tersely: "I have some thoughts, but I iton't want to say."

The match Is discontinued jvhen one of the players has 'reached 12.5 points.

He is then She world champion. The de-lending world champion retains his title In case of a II2-12 tie. 4n theory each game may on forever.

Messmer, 56, has a faithful Gaullist record of war-time resistance and service as minister of defense for the entire 11 years of De Gaulle's rule. When Pompidou was elected President and Chaban-Delmas formed the government Messmer was left out. But he then became minister for overseas territories in a minor cabinet reshuffle in 1971 after De Gaulle's death.

He will certainly command greater loyal-, ty and personal support from the ultra-Gaullists of the ruling parliamentary party, the Union for a Democratic Re-, public (UDR), than Chaban-Delmas received. THE ENTIRE government left office automatically with From I -A McGOVERN SAID the will of California voters and the rules of the Democratic party had been affirmed by the decision. confusion over the 'number of delegates involved in the credentials dispute arose in the past few days. Although most reporters were vJU uu 9 the premier, but Indications are that at least two senior ministers will remain at their present posts Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann and Defense Minister Michel Debre. Both left Paris Wednesday night on official visits overseas, Debre to Washington and Schumann to Peking.

The new cabinet is expected to be completed by Friday, and chief interest will center on whether or not Finance Minister Valery Glscard d'Estaing is also kept in the same office. Ambitious and highly capable, he heads parliamentary faction known as' the Independent Republicans whose support is important although not numerically essential to the government's domination of the National Assembly, still using the 151 figure, Unit- -ed Press International report- ed that the 'final California popular vote tally gave McGo-vern a smaller percentage than early totals indicated.

Euwe agreed to Soviet demands to condemn Fischer's behavior and admitted that he, too, had been wrong in allowing two earlier postponements. The Soviet demand that Fischer loses the first game and a crucial point In the battle for the world title was reported still not completely solved.

"The only thing keeping Spassky from leaving for home is his knowledge of what it would mean for the game of chess and for the Ice landic people if the. match was canceled," said Soviet grandmaster Efraim Geller. The Russians also have demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game of the match to Spassky because of the American's failure to show up for the official opening of the match Sunday. However, the Russians Indicated the demand might be just a formality. GELLER SAID he knew "Spassky would not that point as a gift," Indicating the world champion would decline the forfeiture if it were offered.

Euwe said the Russians made their demand in a cable citing paragraph 5 of the so-called Amsterdam Agreement for the match in which both agreed that a. player still missing after one hour of game time has expired forfeits the game and point to his opponent. This would give Spassky a 1-0 advantage in the score at the outset of play. Chess experts said that in such a long match it was a disadvantage that, Fischer could probably overcome.

He had delayed the start of the match until Tuesday when, Fischer, hold' ing out for more money, failed to appear for the sched uled opening Sunday. FISCHER, 29, the challen ger, finally arrived early Tuesday after a chess-playing English financier doubled the prize to $250,000. With Fischer still resting up for the opening match Tuesday afternoon, Spassky, 33, arrived at a I meeting called to draw lots for the right to make the first play, threw down a statement savins: that Fischer "must bear just penalty" for his be havior and walked out.
