EXPERTS ARE considering whether to break the wreck up on the spot or try to refloat it so it can be towed to a breaker's yard. The loss has been estimated at about $12 million. The inquiry was made by Suprem Court Judge Art M. McMullen, assisted by two British marine experts, retired Commodore John D'Oyley Green and naval architect John Robson.

cause of the fires was a series of deliberate acts by a person or persons unknown." Welding and cigarettes were ruled out as possible causes of the fire. The ship, once the pride of the Cunard fleet, had been bought by Hong Kong shipping magnate C. Y. Tung and was undergoing renovation to be used as a floating university. The work was almost complete when fire engulfed the ship at anchor in Hong Kong harbor.

Within minutes she was ablaze from stem to stern. No lives were lost, but after burning fiercely for 24 hours, the ship rolled over on her side and now rests on the HONG KONG (It The fire that destroyed the former luxury liner Queen Elizabeth Jan. 9 was probably deliberately caused by persons unknown, a marine court of inquiry said today. "There were at least three major sites of fire, all of them occurring within minutes of each other, and there may "have been other independent sites as well," the court said after a two-month inquiry ordered by the Hong Kong government. "WHILE THERE is no direct and conclusive evidence on the matter, the court is also satisfied that by far the most likely Apartment Burglar Did Have a Heart Maryland Jail Revolt Puts Police on Alert I I I i I 1 I i I tured hostages and caused an I 1 HALLANDALE, Fla.

(UPI) Even though the burglar scaled the balconies of a posh high-rise apartment house, held a couple at gunpoint, and fled with $5,000 in cash and jewels, a police dispatcher said today, "He couldn't have been all bad." The dispatcher said she still had an alarm out for the perpetrator of the Tuesday robbery, but noted he allowed his victim to take his heart attack pills during the robbery, and even went for a glass of water. At about 3 a.m. Charles and Elizabeth Cohen found the black-gloved visitor at their bedside. The thief pointed a gun at them, police said, and then went through every drawer. "My heart started pounding and my wife told him I was going to have a heart attack," said Cohen, 64, who has a heart condition.

"He said, 'Where are your My wife told him and he brought the bottle of pills and a glass of water." 1 UPI Tiltphot HERE'S HOW BOARD LOOKED WHEN SPASSKY OFFERED DRAW Fischer Accepted Gesture With Almost Imperceptible Nod Fischer Takes Spassky 45th Move Draw Offer "He doesn't listen to our Prince Georges county official William W. Gullett said the disturbance "can be attributed to the atmosphere, the humidity the heat." The U.S. Weather Service reported the humidity was 85 per cent Tuesday night. THE concrete and metal cells, eight feet wide and 10 feet long, are not air conditioned. The rebellious inmates led by about 25 men controlled the upper floor of the jail.

Bremer was on the first floor. The disturbance was the third since Saturday when inmates of the Maryland House of Corrections at Jessup cap- estimated $1.5 million in damages before presenting grievances to Gov. Marvin Mandel. PRISONERS at the Maryland State penitentiary in Baltimore also met with Mandel after disturbances Monday. The Baltimore and Jessup inmates complained of poor medical care and bad food, and asked for some prison employes to be fired.

In reaction a 130 guards conducted a three-hour work stoppage in Baltimore to protest alleged coddling of prisoners by Mandel.

The outbreaks were the third since Saturday at a Maryland penal institution. Inmates became involved in the disturbance a 2:30 a.m.

but no outside forces were called in, county police said. The inmates returned to their cells about an hour later and no outside force was needed. OFFICIALS said there was some damage, but no injuries were reported. Officials earlier blamed hot, muggy weather and previous prison disturbances in the state for the Tuesday night uprising, which ended when inmated released their hostages unharmed some 3'2 hours after taking over the second floor of the 100-pris-oner facility. Arthur H.

Bremer, in jail, awaiting his July 31 trial in the shooting of Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama, was far from the turmoil Tuesday night that involved during its peak 140 inmates who also burned mattresses. THE INMATES said they had grievances about medical facilities, legal material at the jail library and Warden John Shallcross. "Shallcross lies to us," said inmate Larry B.

Smith, a spokesman for the prisoners. Attica Inmates Stay Hungry an almost imperceptible nod, indicating a draw has been accepted. "It was almost like a Yankee stadium during a baseball match," said one U.S. observer. All worries might not be over for Fischer.

The Icelandic organizers said the television cameras that caused Fisched to walk out on the second game, forfeiting it to Spassky, might be back in the hall for Thursday's match. Federation president Gud-mundur Thoranrinson said, "We know Fischer is absolutely opposed to being filmed, but there is one solution he has agreed upon. I cannot disclose what it is." and started Fischer's clock. Then Spassky walked in with the dignity of a champion. Finally Fischer appeared and rushed straight to the board to push forward his king pawn, his favorite opening.

THE END came on the 45th move. Fischer, according to experts, had played a dubious 19th move only to escape through Spassky's blunders later in the game. With the crowd noisy and excited, the "silence" sign flashing off and on, Fischer pushed forward a pawn and looked up. Spassky, sitting very erect in his simple wooden chair, nodded and offered his hand over the board. Fischer accepted with to leave their cells early Tuesday but by dinner time the number had dwindled to about 650 of the 1,200 prisoners at Attica.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Bobby Fischer all but danced off the stage. Minutes a 1 i the 29-year-old challenger had clasped Boris Spassky's hand after accepting a draw on the 45th move of the fourth game for the world chess championship. Spassky appeared to have the game won, but a couple of mistakes in the 27th and 29 moves by the 35-year-old title-holder allowed Fischer to escape from his grasp and come out of the game with a draw rather than a loss. WITH FOUR games behind them, Spassky has won two, Fischer one, and one was a draw.

That gives Spassky 2'? points to Fischer's V2, with Fischer needing 12'2 Points as the challenger to win while Spassky needs only 12 points to retain his title. The fifth game in the 24-match championship is scheduled for Thursday at 1 p.m. Shortly before the Tuesday start Fischer opened a new round in his battle against television cameras in the hall.

Montayne said the emergency measure was essential for the orderly operation and "to assure the safety and security of the personnel, inmates and facility property."
