After all, there are 23 possible games left." Fischer locked himself into his hotel suite with his second, Father William Lorn-bardy, a Catholic priest who is a grandmaster, to analyze the lost game and prepare for today's encounter. The challenger lost the first game at the 29th move when in taking one of Spassky's )awns he allowed his bishop to be trapped. 3y doing this he in effect exchanged one jishop for two pawns an action which 'avored the champion.

Although Fischer made a desperate attempt to turn the game into a draw, it became obvious that Spassky could not be kept from promoting a pawn to a queen, thus making an eventual checkmate a REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Bobby Fischer, already one game down in his drive for the world chess championship, today threatened to walk out on the second match with titleholder Boris Spassky unless all television cameras are removed from the hall. Fischer's demands were presented bv Fred Cramer, a vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation, at a closed meeting with representatives of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the Icelandic organizers and representatives of U.S. companies owning the television rights to the match, international chess sources said. The referee of the match, Germany's Lothar Schmid, said Fischer will lose the second game by default if he does not turn up for the scheduled 1 p.m.

The 29-year-old New Yorker walked out for 35 minutes yesterday to protest two television cameras hidden above the stage where the players sit at the chess board for their championship match, scheduled to run a maximum of 24 games. Although he went into the much-postponed first game a heavy favorite, Fischer made what appeared to be a beginner's error and went down to defeat at the hands of the 35-year-old Soviet world champion. The moment of truth was painful.

Fischer rose from the massive mahogany chess table, made a helpless gesture and resigned at the 56th move. Before stomping out of the hall, he reached over to shake Spassky's hand.

Agnes big rainmaker MIAMI Hurricane Agnes drenched the eastern United States with nearly 28.1 trillion gallons of water, making it "one of the great rainmakers of recent years," the National Hurricane Center said yesterday. The center said Agnes, which became a tropical storm after roaring out of the Gulf of Mexico into the Florida Panhandle, drenched Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York with 25.5 cubic miles of water. "That measures out to 28,098,500,000,000 (trillion) gallons," the center said.

Lawyer's help not needed TALLAHASSEE Jon Richard Arger- singer, the man whose 1970 misdemeanor case led to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that all defendants facing a possible jail term must be given an attorney, got a suspended sentence on a license tag violation yesterday without the help of a lawyer. Last Juno Argersinger was arrested for failure to have a Florida license tag on his car, which he had recently brought to Tallahassee from Alabama. The maximum penalty for that violation is 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. The judge found Argersinger guilty, suspended the sentence, and told Mrs.

Argersinger to pay the usual $1 court costs. Reapportionment backed JACKSONVILLE University of Florida Professor Manning J. Dauer said yesterday the contested Florida legislative reapportionment plan meets the one-man, one-vote guidelines of the U.S. Supreme Court. A hearing on challenges to the plan is set in Jacksonville federal court tomorrow, before a three-judge panel.

Yesterday, Dauer, professor of political science and expert on reapportionment, testified there should be less concern about local governmental units being split by legislative reapportionment, because in future years there are going to be fewer local bills enacted by the state legislature. Flambeau slams action TALLAHASSEE Florida State University officials are trying "with donkeyish zeal" to eliminate or curtail the student newspaper, the Flambeau, a student editorial charged yesterday. The board of regents agreed in Miami recently to let the paper set itself up as an independent, non-profit corporation run by students without administrative controls. But editor Kim Rogers said FSU president Stanley Marshall and student affairs vice president Stephen McClellan gave the Flambeau only until Sept. 1 to form the corporation and complete the split from the university administration.

(UPI) -Two heavily armed hijackers commandeered a jetliner from Philadelphia to the Texas gulf coast today with $600,000 ransom, three parachutes and six hostage crew members. The plane blew four tires landing at a small commuter field and couldn't take off. At least one crew member was injured after the landing near this coast city 50 miles south of Houston. All 113 passengers aboard the National Airlines jet, originally hijacked over New York last night, were released at Philadelphia where the skyjackers transferred to another plane with their hostages and ransom.

"They can't possibly take off because of the tires," said a spokesman at Lake Jackson Airport. "We also do not have facilities to refuel the plane." The hijackers, two black men believed armed with a pistol and shotgun and carrying a bomb, ordered the plane flown from Philadelphia to Texas early today. They bypassed Dallas and headed south to Houston where the Federal Aviation Administration reported the jet circled down to 14,000 feet before flying on to Lake Jackson Airport. An FAA spokesman said the flight engineer was thrown from the plane or escaped. He said there were reports he had been pistol-whipped.

One person was taken to community hospital in Free-port and sources at the airport said it might have been for treatment of gunshot wounds. There was no radio contact with the plane. Officials at Community Hospital would not comment about any injured taken from the plane. All 113 passengers aboard the National jet originally hijacked over New York were safe, but four snipers who stood on the aircraft's wing in a driving rain for more than six hours were treated for Decision upheld in Turner case Blacks make gains in jobs, income TALLAHASSEE The Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) advocates violence to bring about social change and was justifiably denied campus recognition by the board of regents, U.S. district Judge David L.

Middlebrooks ruled yesterday. In denying recognition, the regents did not violate YSA's right to free speech, equal rights, or due process because there was evidence that the organization would be a disruptive force, the judge said. Brett Merkey and the YSA sued the board of regents after Merkey's application for recognition of YSA was denied. "Overall, however, in 1972, blacks still lag behind whites in most social and economic areas, although the differentials have narrowed over the years," the report said. The most impressive gain, according to the study, was among families under 35 years of age in the north and west where both husband and wife worked.

In that category the median income for black families in 1970 was $11,045 in 1970 compared to $10,578 for a comparable white family. For the nation as a whole, the young family income figures were $9,267 for blacks and $10,396 for white. were Turner; Dare To Be Great, and Glen Turner Enterprises. State law forbids pyramid, referral and other deceptive sales techniques. The appeals court ruling, written by Judge Earl W.

Vaughn, denied the defendant's contention that 13 affidavits introduced into evidence by the attorney general's office in superior court were not admissable. Vaughn wrote that to overrule the lower court would "cripple the legislative intent to provide an effective means of curbing illegitimate business schemes and protecting the consumers of the state." WASHINGTON (UPI) -Black Americans made solid gains in education, income and job opportunities between 1960 and 1970, a census bureau report said today. In northern and western states, young black families reached an income comparable with thai; of their white counterparts. In a study based on statistics from the 1970 census, the bureau cited gains in home ownership and voting strength for the nation's 23 million black citizens. More black youths are attending college and fewer are dropping out of high school, the report said.

RALEIGH () A preliminary injunction blocking alleged deceptive sales practices by Florida entrepreneur Glenn W. Turner and two of his firms have been upheld by the North Carolina court of appeals. The court yesterday upheld an order handed down March 27 in Wake superior court granting the state attorney general's office a preliminary injunction. Atty. Gen.

DUNAGIN'S PEOPLE by Dunagin Nixon asks all-time high Agnes relief More than 80 persons died, and about 128,000 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, by the massive floods set off by Agnes, which poured down torrential rains as it moved up the East Coast from the Florida Panhandle last month. Nixon said he would request the new legislation when Congress reconvenies July 17.

He also announced that a meeting of about 500 mayors and local governmental leaders would be held next Friday in Washington to expedite the delivery of federal relief Nixon called it "the largest single amount ever allocated to recovery efforts in this country." He said it is needed to ameliorate the suffering caused by "the worst natural disaster in the whole of America's history." Under the proposal, announced in a five minute radio speech yesterday, more than 120,000 homeowners and small businessmen who were wiped out by the floods would be eligible for grants of $5,000 each. An estimated 115 homeowners and 6,000 small business owners would be eligible for the disaster relief. The first $5,000 would be an outright grant, and sums above that amount could be repaid over a 30 year SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) President Nixon has proposed a $1.7 billion program, calling it the richest disaster relief purse ever, to give $5,000 grants and loans at one per cent interest to victims of tropical storm Agnes. "Confronted with so massive a disaster emergency, our response must also be massive," Nixon said.

"Conscience demands it; humanity impels it." The floods caused by Agnes devastated areas of eastern states. Residents of six states New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida would be eligible for the disaster relief, if passed by Congress. period, at one per cent interest. The President's proposal was a substantial liberalization of existing disaster relief regulations. It doubles the current provision for $2,500 grants, and would haul interest rates down from 5 per cent.

There earlier had been widespread criticism that relief efforts fell far short of what was neeeded, a criticism to which the President was especially sensitive in this election year. More than $100 million has already been spent on flood relief, and the President recently signed a measure authorizing another $200 million, said press secretary Ron- aid Ziegler.
