Fischer Loses First Match In Chess Meet REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) "It will settle down," Bobby Fischer said Wednesday night after he lost the first game of the world chess championship to defending champion Boris Spassky. With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title.

Today he plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany and strode to a backstage dressing room. Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off. Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed.

Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. After Spassky's 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky. When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns.

Fischer was down to his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. After his walkout, he made an ineffectual sidestep with his king.

In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle tp the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side Fischer gave up.

LOUIS, 111. (AP) Edmund J. Kucharski, Republican candidate for secretary of state, says he sees nothing wrong with his campaign posters being displayed in state offices. Kucharski, an assistant secretary of state, made the statement Wednesday while campaigning for the GOP ticket. Kucharski's campaign posters have appeared in drivers license testing stations in the East St.

Louis area and elsewhere in Illinois. There is no state statute prohibiting the practice, and Kucharski said if there were, a lot of people would be in trouble. Kucharski, who worked as under- sheriff when Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie was Cook County sheriff, said the governor's chances are good for re-election.

Democrat Dan Walker "is going to have to talk issues and be constructive," Kucharski said. Of every 100 persons in Jordan about 45 make their living from agriculture. Freeport (III.)

IRA Asks Guarantees To Renew Cease-Fire BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) Security forces kept the Protestant marchers and the Roman Catholics apart in Northern Ireland on Wednesday, but at least eight persons were killed before and after the parades on the Protestants' Glorious Twelfth. It was one of the bloodiest days in the province's three years of communal strife.

Seamus Twomey, chief of the Irish Republican Army's Provisional wing, told newsmen his forces might consider renewing the cease-fire they ended Sunday after 13 days. But he said the British must guarantee there will be no army raids or arrests, no "harassment" of his men, and complete freedom for the Provisionals to move freely, although in "low profile." There was no immediate reaction from the British. The celebration of the Protestant victory on July 12,1690, at the Battle of the Boyne went off peacefully, with 32,000 troops, militia and police sandwiched between the religious factions to head off violence. But in advance of the marching, on its periphery and in its wake assassins and bombers were hard at work. Two soldiers were killed and 11 wounded in firefights with IRA guerrillas.

The troops, whose death list since 1969 rose to 91, claimed to have wounded or killed at least five of their assailants. The first to die Wednesday was a Protestant 16-year-old, gunned down as he walked through a park in the town of Portadown. Then gunmen burst into the Belfast home of a Catholic widow and killed her teen-age son, said to have a mental age of five, as he slept in bed. "This was completely without reason," said a detective. "Where the hell are we going?" There was more violence in Portadown after the marching.

Two men a Catholic and a Protestant were shot dead in a bar. Two more bodies were discovered this morning in Belfast. SAIGON (AP) American fighter- bombers hit North Vietnam Wednesday with the heaviest raids in more than a week, setting fire to fuel depots and supply and port facilities in the Hanoi-Haiphong area, the U.S. command announced today. The command reported more than 340 strikes were flown, equaling the number on July 5, and said the closest to Haiphong was within a mile of the city.

North Vietnam charged that "many waves" of U.S. planes attacked areas inside and outside Haiphong, that dozens of persons were killed and nearly 200 houses destroyed. Hanoi said an American RF4 reconnaissance plane was shot down. The U.S. Command as usual refused to comment on the North Vietnamese charges and made no mention of any plane losses.

The Navy said in a delayed report that the destroyers Robinson and Hamner sank one barge and damaged two others after they had unloaded war materials from a freighter Tuesday northwest of the port of Dong Hoi near Hon La Island. The Navy did not identify the freighter, but it was presumably Chinese. It was not attacked. In the ground war, the South Vietnamese push into Quang Tri Province was stalled for the seventh successive day by tough North Vietnamese resistance that triggered five clashes on three sides of the provincial capital. Spokesmen said 116 North Vietnamese were killed and 20 tanks were destroyed in fighting around Quang Tri City on Wednesday, while the South Vietnamese suffered 24 dead and 45 wounded.

Mouse Family Found To Be Typewriter Vandals In Office BOWIE, Md. (AP) Esperanza Corzon suspected that the frequent tampering with her typewriter was the work of vandals, so she installed a new alarm system inside her office. When that failed, the Bowie Police Department assigned two detectives to spend the night inside the store. Mrs. Corzon called the police Tuesday and complained someone again had ripped off the ribbon of her typewriter.

Detective Richard Hart found a field mouse and her three babies nestled in the typewriter. Hart said the mouse family would be released to the custodian.

Saturday Until 3:00 P.M. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) "We Casually dressed in an open-necked 1968," Sen. George McGovern said after facing 300 noisy, pushing demonstrators just hours before winning the Democratic presidential nomination. McGovern attempted to reassure the crowd of antiwar and civil rights demonstrators in the lobby of his headquarters hotel: "I'm not changing my position on any of the fundamental stands I've taken." As McGovern spoke, more than 1,000 protesters gathered peacefully at Convention Hall to hear antiwar activist David Dillinger and other speakers urge them "to keep the pressure on McGovern." The demonstrators in the Doral Hotel lobby had been blocking staircases and elevators for more than six hours when McGovern appeared surrounded by Secret Service agents.

Security was tight following the arrest of two men on concealed weapons charges at the Doral earlier in the day. Chicago Grain Dealers Accused Of Fixing Wheat Futures Prices CHICAGO (AP) Two Chicago grain traders have been accused in a U.S. Department of Agriculture complaint of manipulating the price of wheat futures. Edward A. Cox Jr.

and George F. Frey are accused of manipulating the price of the May 1971 wheat futures contract on the Chicago Board of Trade, the Commodity Exchange Authority said Wednesday. Neither man could be reached for comment. G.E. Piala, deputy regional director of the Commodity Exchange Authority, said the complaint alleges the two Board of Trade members acted together to force the price of the May wheat futures up to an "arbitrary and artificial" level.

The complaint, filed in Washington, does not constitute proof of violation. A judicial officer will make the final determination, Piala said. A public hearing on the complaint is scheduled for Aug. 9 in Chicago. "I don't have any doubt that within 90 days of my inauguration every American troop and every American soldier will be home, and that's a pledge I make," he said.

Casually dressed in an opennecked sports shirt, McGovern was grim and firm as he talked and listened to the demonstrators for 30 minutes. "Don't you realize that most people here are for you," shouted a young man. "We love you, but you are losing your credibility The rest was drowned out by a girl yelling, "That's not true." Responding to questions shouted by the demonstrators, McGovern reaffirmed his support for amnesty for those who refused to fight in Vietnam and his opposition to legalizing marijuana. Cheered when he arrived and often as he spoke, McGovern was booed loudly when he said he would not sign a proposal calling for life imprisonment for any police officer who murders a black, Mexican-American or other minority group person. "I am opposed to racism in all of its forms," he said.

"Why leave out any American?" McGovern also was hooted when he rejected a proposal backed by civil rights and welfare groups calling for a federally guaranteed $6,500 minimum income for a family of four. "I'm not going to sign it," he said. Most of the demonstrators in the lobby were members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Students for a Democratic Society and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. They said they were concerned about a reported softening of his antiwar position and his refusal to fight harder in the convention for the $6,500 minimum income proposal for poor people. "It's better to hear people out than to drive people out," McGovern said after the session.

"Nobody got hurt," and nobody got roughed up. "I think the symbolism is more important than anything that transpired," he said. "We didn't want a repetition of Chicago in 1968. I felt I might release some of that anger by talking with them." McGovern's aides told him later he had done well.
