The Russian titleholder launched his counterattack yesterday with a stern protest, some sharp criticism, a walkout and a demand for a two day postponement of the start the match with American Bobby Fischer. Fischer slept through it all. HE HAD ARRIVED in the morning from New York and went straight to bed to rest up for the first game, set for 1 p.m. EDT. When Fischer woke up he found the title series was put off until Thursday at the earliest.

It was to have begun last Sunday. Max Fuwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said: "When Spassky is here Fischer doesn't come. As soon as Fischer comes, Spassky runs away." When Fischer failed to appear Sunday as he should have, Fuwe allowed him until noon yesterday, to show up in Reykjavik or forfeit his shot at Spassky. THE RUSSIANS turned up in force at noon yesterday for what was to be a drawing of lots to decide who would play white, and have the first move, in the opener. They refused to draw with Fischer's second, Rev.

William Lombardy, and a- statement calling Fischer's delaying holdout intolerable. They protested Fuwe's decision to tolerate it. A dispatch by Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said Spassky also demanded the International Chess Federation take some punishing measures against Fischer on the grounds he had violated the rules for the match. It did not specify what sort of measures should be taken. Ready when you are, Bobby and Boris! by the full dorsed McGovern.

Capt. Gail W. Furrow nodded toward the shattered convoy along the highway nearby: and said: "I've been smelling that stink for five days.

It makes me so sick I can't eat. But I guess it doesn't make any difference. All we've got to eat is rice." Furrow, 32, of Urbana, Ohio, is an adviser to a battalion of South Vietnamese paratroopers spearheading the drive to the provincial capital seized by the North Vietnamese more than two months ago. His companion, Maj. Michael D.

Haynes, 35, of Columbus, said: "Hey, man, it's the Fourth of July." DISCUSSION of July 4 was halted when a forward air control plane mistakenly shot a smoke rocket onto one of the platoons of 'the two battalions advised by Furrow and Haynes. The brisk west wind wafted into the scent of dead bodies and Furrow said: "There it is again." The smell came from hundreds of shattered trucks ambushed when they attempted to leave Quang Tri city April 29. Most of the bodies had been removed from the wreckage, but the smell lingered. "It's unbelievable. It's incredible.

I've never seen anything like this in my life," Furrow said. "This is my third tour and it's going to be my last. They know meat prices up By Louise Cook Associated Press Writer A butcher in Portland, says the price of beef is the highest he's ever seen it. "And I've been behind a meat counter for 44 years." A housewife in Little Rock, says the only meats she buys are chicken and hamburger. She avoids big 1 name brands when choosing canned goods.

ON JUNE 16, representatives of the nation's food chains warned consumer groups to expect another big rise in prices, particularly of meats, in the upcoming weeks. The store owners said they no longer could absorb increases in wholesale costs. "It will be a matter of almost pure luck if they don't go up," said Timothy D. McEnroe, a that the American labor and liberal political leadership agrees it does not want another four years of Richard Nixon.

AND UNITED Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock said he could support either George McGovern or Hubert H. Humphrey for president. But he said his statement did not constitute an endorsement, adding: "It looks as if McGovern is going to get it." In handing down his decisions, Hart said Monday that both could be overruled by the appeals court or the Democratic national convention itself. Arguing for McGovern, attorney Joseph L. Rauh said the court's to overrule Hart's decision let "the nominatfailure, ing process for the nation's highest office.

sink to the law of the jungle." ATTORNEY Joseph A. Califano, defending the committee's decision, said the guidelines set forth by the party's reform commission, which McGovern headed, were not final, but subject to change by the credentials committee if it found them inadequate. In the case of the Daley delegates, Hart refused to grant the Democratic National Committee an injunction that would have prevented the Daley delegates from seeking in Illinois state courts to oust the delegates who replaced them. credentials committee had ruled the Daley delegation violated party reform measures by denying thee proper number of seats to blacks, women and young persons.

PROTESTANTS sealed off three areas in Belfast last weekend to protest the refusal of British authorities to force destruction of barricades barring entry to security forces into the Londonderry a Catholic districts of Bogside and Creggan. The Catholic barricades went up a year ago and are manned by militants of the provisional wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

The hooded men of the Protestant Defense Assn. armed with iron bars and clubs, faced the troops for five hours Monday on the Protestant side of Springfield Road. "WE FOUND 50 bodies in one of those trucks. We've been trying to figure out how they did it. because apparently no one got out.

They must have been lined up along the road and zapped 'em all Furrow said. "There were women and children and babies on the trucks. They never had a chance. I South Vietnamese troops closing in on Quang Tri's city center, Page 24. wonder how many of them lived for three or four days with their wounds before they died," Furrow said.

A newsman passed around his canteen and Haynes said: cost of a pound of hamburger -from 69 to 77 cents -and in the price of cantaloupe--from 29 to 49 cents. Of seven meat items checked at a Charlotte, N.C., store, six went up 10 cents a pound or more. Ground chuck was the only item to remain the same at 85 cents a pound. IN COLUMBUS, Ohio, sirloin steak went from $1.59 to $1.69 a pound one supermarket and from $1.57 to $1.69 at another. Veal round steak in Seattle was $2.25 on June 16 and $2.39 two weeks later.

Ground round steak at a New York City supermarket went from $1.69 to $1.79. The price of a pound of center cut pork chops in Louisville, increased from $1.29 to $1.49. President Nixon took several steps in recent weeks, including lifting the import quota on beef and extending price controls on some items, in an effort to limit inflation in food prices. None of the steps, however, is expected to cause an immediate drop in grocery bills. "Man, that water's got chlorine in it.

I haven't tasted water with chlorine in it for at least a month. It sure tastes good." "We've been getting our water out of B52 craters," Furrow said. "Sometimes we put some purification tablets in it. but if we're in a hurry we just drink it." THERE WAS a large explosion to the northeast and Haynes said: "Who's over there?" Furrow replied: "Nobody that know of." There was a second explosion. Mrs.

She was a granddaughter of the founder of the Rike-Kumler Co. and the wife of industrialist Anthony Haswell.

AFTER TRYING again to get air support, Furrow called in artillery. Before counter-battery fire arrived, the North Vietnamese gunners got off more than 30 rounds and hit the newly-built bridge across the Hai Lam River, a mile south of the post. Haynes said: "Excuse me. It's time for my rice, but I wish it was something else.

Maj. Gen. Robert Ford, commander of British forces in the province, went to the scene to the settlement and negotiate. "We have pulled back from the edge of the precipice." One of several masked Association leaders told a news conference yesterday his forces would seek to create new Protestant "no go" areas in Belfast later this week. "If the British army fires on us, we will shoot back." he said.

"We have a fair assortment of spokesman for the National Association of Food Chains. The Associated Press priced lists of foodstuffs in stores in about two dozen cities on June 16 and checked the cost of the same item two weeks Staples like milk, canned goods and eggs generally stayed the same. Meat prices went up. IN PORTLAND, for example, the price of mayonnaise-71 cents' a quart--stayed the same over the two-week period. But boneless rump roast went from $1.33 a pound to $1.48 a pound and center cut pork chops jumped 50 cents to $1.49 a pound.
