The American champion was believed still in New York. Fischer's 24-game match with the Russian world's champion was to have begun Sunday, and the president of the world fed-' eration, Dr.

Max Euwe, announced if the American challenger failed to show up by noon Tuesday he would risk forfeiting his chance at thc- v. title. Fischer's representatives in Iceland requested the postponement on the grounds that he was unable to play because of fatigue.

But Fischer is seeking an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts, and his representatives have been negotiating this point with sponsors of the match, the Icelandic Chess Federation.

On DiMaggio, Nixon says the Yankee Clipper is remembered primarily as a great hitter.

"The many times I have seen him play at Yankee Stadium and at Griffith Stadium against the Senators I remember him even more as a superb fielder. Nixon selected Williams, the former Boston Red Sox star who now manages the Texas Rangers, and DiMaggio in selecting his All-Time, -All-star baseball team. The President took chances he selected four teams for a total of 84 players an American and National League team for the years between 1925 and World War II and similar squads for the years -afterward.
