Spassky is characterized as "affable, easygoing, friendly and charming," Bobby as "a sullen, rude, complaining hysteric" and "a loner who lives only for chess," with "all the warmth of a hooded cobra." Their chess strategies, too, are supposed to be widely different: Spassky is called the "universal player whose rich intuition enables him to effect sharp tactical turns in a fluid, involved position." is supposed to be "a positional genius whose strong point is rapid appraisal and accurate calculation of variations." Which is all very neat and tidy -but misses the underlying truth of the matter by a considerable margin. For everyone has apparently become so fascinated with the differences between Spassky and Fischer that the similarities are overlooked. And these two men are a lot more alike than they are different.

Both came from broken homes. Bobby's parents were divorced when he was 2 years old; Spassky 's were separated (and later killed) during the World War II siege of Ieningrad'. Both Mearried the game early. Fischer was 6 when his sister bought a dime store chess set and taught him the moves from the instructions. Spassky was taught chess at No Training In Defense For Guards I I Board jurisdiction over their President Nixon discussed food prices for an hour with the council Friday, and then the panel, talked about the matter for more than an hour after he left.

White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Nixon told the council to explore "every feasible action" to provide quality food at reasonable prices. As part of the effort, Ziegler said, the council will meet soon with representatives of supermarket chains, food processors, distributors and importers, and spokesmen for unions with heavy memberships in the food 'distribution field. American Motors Corp. asked the Price Commission for authorization to raise prices on its 1973 models an estimated 5 per cent.

The company asked for an average $78 per vehicle for improved bumpers and emission control equipment and another 2.5 per cent each to cover increases in material and labor costs.

Earlier, Bill Kalibak, an Oregon State Employes Association field representative, told the committee more manpower and better pay are necessary if the corrections division plans to continue rehabilitation rather than simple custody of prisoners.

He said that while improvements have been made, more must be done, "and legislature is the only body with the power and control of the purse strings to make those changes." Jacob Tanzer, director jbf the Oregon Department of Human Resources, which includes the corrections division, rejected the concept of new maximum security prison suggested by some prison staff members. "The community is ill- served and is endangered by severe security arrangements in the institutions," Tanzer. said. Multnomah OKs Hotcl-MoTclTax PORTLAND, AP) A 5 per cent hotel-motel tax was adopted unanimously Thurs', day by Multnomah County of the difference between the championship matches of 1972 and those of the past. When Spassky won the title from another Russian, Tigran Petrosian -the, last championship event! three ago), the purse was only $1,400.

But- the real prize is more than money. "I want the money," Fischer said recently in an interview at the New York resort where he was undergoing rigorous training. "But I want the title even more. Chess is my life my hobby, my recreation, my profession. I have proved that I am the best in the past but now I want that fact officially recognized." "We take much interest in chess," Spassky said recently.

"It is as much the national sport of Russia as baseball in the United States. I would not care to be the man who allows the championship to go to another It would be a serious matter, in many ways Just how "serious, no one really knows. Certainly it is not likely that Spassky, like the late Alexander Alekhine, would be condemned to death (Alekhine, one of Russia's great chess masters, was condemned to death by the, Bolsheviks after the October 1917 Revolution. He fled to the West and lived in exile until his death in 1948.) Considerations of public relations would seem to mitigate against such an extreme. Still, there is little doubt he would be made to feel his government's displeasure.

What would happen if he loses the world championship to an American? Spassky has a lot to lose. His present life, by Soviet standards, is nothing short of luxuriousSpassky lives with "'his second wife, Larissa? and their 4-year-old son on the fiflfi floor of a VIP apartment building in Moscow.

(Icelandic time), a Russian and an American will sit down to play a game of chess in a small auditorium at Reykjavik. During the five hours that follow they probably will not exchange a dozen words. Nor will the audience. To a casual observer, it all might seem "about as exciting and dramatic as a visit mausoleum. But there will be no.

For this will be the first in a series of 24 games to decide the chess championship of the world and this confrontation has drawn more worldwide interest than any other event of its kind in history.

All of which might be quite acceptable if he were considered in good form. But of late, he has appeared to be playing considerably below his usual game. He finished, sixth in the Alekhine Memorial Tournament last December, and one grandmaster who played him said there was "a lackluster, uncertain quality to his play that had not characterized it in the past." Tass, the official Soviet news agency, passed this" off as "mere camouflage," saying Spassky had not really been trying was merely tuning up for the matches with Fischer and "is preparing a big for the American challenger.

If he is, apparently-won't be the only one" surprised. International chess experts currently see Fischer as the favorite to win by asmuch as 3 to 1. And Fischer is even more optimistic. "Three to one?" he said when informed of the most recent "Those people don't know what they're talking about. The odds ought to be 20 to 1 at least!" On past performance, that would be a hard position to defend.

Spassky and Fischer have played five games in the past. Of those, Spassky has won three, two were draws. But chess is not horse racing. Past performance is seldom, if ever, a reliable index of a chess player's actual chances when he goes to the board. For one thing, Fischer has been competing of late as though he were leading some kind of crusade.

Ever since he burst upon the international chess world by winning the U.S. championship in 1958 at the age of 14 he has attracted criticism, comment and controversy. People tend to be fascmated by him. His disposition would have to improve by several degrees to be called merely impossible. -And his "public pronouncements would have-to be all but bowdlerized to make them only arroganLand viciously insulting.

He is not popular in Russia. The controlled press there calls him brash, conceited, selfish, temperamental, jealous and uneducated. He is only slightly better liked in the United States. The Vs. 777 Kings A 1 SALEM, Ore.

(AP) An Oregon Correctional Institute -guard told a special legislative committee Friday that corrections division employes get no training in "our number one priority, staying alive." W. W. Eatherly said that no time is being spent in teaching guards self-defense even though they are thoroughly trained in the "philosophy of- I'nange in uuiievuuiis, The committee was formed because of complaints from members of the Oregon State Penitentiary staff after the fa-' tal stabbing of a guard last April. It is headed by State Sen. C.

R. Hoyt, R-Corvatlts. The five-member panel, which met at the Capitdl, was set up by the speaker of the House and the president of the Senate. Eatherly told the legislators drugs are the most serious problem at the correctional institute, which housesjoung offenders. 1 He added that most em- ployes have no training in recognizing dangerous drugs.

"Out of 99 officers at OCI, I would venture to say not 10 of" them would know a joint of marijuana if they fell on he said. Eatherly contended that guards are underpaid as well as undertrained. The top salary for a corrections officer is $688 a month while state policemen can earn $1,052, he said. But Eartherly added that, since the conUoversy over car a bright-red Volvo bought an orphanage when he was 5. Both showed considerable early promise.

Spassky was a first degree player at 10 and an international grandmaster at 16. Fischer was beating all comers at 10-second chess when he was 10, was a grandmaster at 13 and won the U.S. championship a year later. Both are strong and emotional competitors. Spassky burst into tears when he lost an important match in 1957; Fischer was still weeping publicly over a loss or a misplay until a few years ag- 4.

And most important of all, perhaps their methods qf play are not as dissimilar as Jhey might seem on the surface, Styles among the grandmasters tend to reflect their various personalities. Fischer and Spassky are classicists in the tradition of the great Jose R. Capabianca. after Russia won the 1970 invitational team tournament In West Germany.)
