Friday, July 7, 1972 The Dubois County DAILY HERALD, Jasper, Ind. Page 5 TOUKXKY BEGINS TUESDAY Bobby Fischer (1.) being protected by policemen, and World Chess Champion Boris Spassky wearing tie) arrive at tournament hali late Thursday for drawing of the lots. Their 24- game match will start Tuesday with Spassky playing the white pieces in the first game. by IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) two weeks of behind- the-scene diplomacy and much talking, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky have agreed to get down to their real business chess. The match for the world title now held by the 35-year-old Russian will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital.

The winner gets $150,000 and the loser $100,000. Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a living playing chess the year around, will make the first move. He won the draw Thursday night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move. The 29-year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate.

Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged between the two camps there was no sign of personal animosity between the two. Applause Exchanged When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded. And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented, Spassky gave him a big hand. As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to hand and said, good The ceremony confirmed that all the problems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceland for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms.

Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000. Fischer finally turned up July by then Spassky was upset and threatened to pull out. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in absence instead of disqualifying the American. Euwe Admits Mistake Euwe, himself a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Thursday, Fischer broke the ice when he wrote a letter to apologizing for his Fischer admitted he had you and your country, the Soviet simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess Fischer wrote in his letter.

Campaign Of Violence Continues In Ireland By COLIN BAKER BELFAST man was found seriously wounded in an automobile early today and a 100-pound gelignite bomb exploded against the wall a Roman Catholic Church in a continued campaign of violence against civilians in Northern Ireland.

Since the Provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) declared a cease-fire June 26, 11 civilians have been killed, most of them shot in the head in apparent revenge killings. A British army spokesman said the man was found shot in the Springfield Road section of Belfast. He was taken to a hospital in serious condition. The bomb shattered stained glass windows of the church and damaged an adjoining school. Moments later, an army observation post in the nearby Ardoyne bus station came under machine gun fire.

Four persons were taken to hospital suffering from shock after the blast, the army said. Hours earlier, a Roman Catholic man was hit in the stomach by machine gun bullets fired from a parked car a few hundred yards from the church. Roman Catholic leaders said they were afraid the violence would get worse because of Protestant plans to build more barricades this weekend and with the approach of July 12, the anniversary of the 1960 Protestant victory in the Battle of the Boyne which assured Northern Ireland would stay overwhelmingly Protestant. are praying that the intimidation get worse, but we have still a week to go before the parades on the said the Rev. Patrick Egan, a leader of Roman Catholic relief organizations in the Falls Road neighborhood.

UDA sources said the barricades would go up today in East Belfast, a heavily Protestant neighborhood with one tiny enclave of Roman Catholics.
