He said he would not play until FIDE punished Fischer and Fischer personally apologized. Officials hoped the match could start Thursday. Earlier, the official Soviet News Agency Tass criticized Fischer and said he and his backers planned to use a computer to try to win Spasskv's title The 24-game championship match was scheduled to start Sunday, but Fischer, a 29-year-old ches genius from Brooklyn, failed to turn up, mostly because he wanted more money than the $125,000 purse put up by the organizers. All appeared saved when a British millionaire banker and chess fan dug into his own pocket to offer another $125,000. Fischer was on the next plane to Reykjavik and arrived Juesday morning, where he quickly left the airport not to be seen since.

By this, Fischer insulted me, personally, and the Chess Federation of the USS which I represent." He added that since Fischer had broken the rules he "must bear the just punishment before there is a hope of holding the match.

Only after this can I return to the question about the possibility of holding the match." He also demanded a personal apology. Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshall, and his second. Father William Lombardy, were optimistic. "We are making progress," Father Lombardy said.

"This is a very bad development and I am now very pessimistic about the match," said Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). The reason for the breakup was not immediately disclosed but the representatives of Russian Boris Spassky, the reigning world chess champion, said they would explain later at a news conference. "The Russians said Wednesday they don't want any further talks with the Americans," Euwe said. The talks between representatives of Fischer and Spassky started Tuesday after Spassky triggered the second postponement of the scheduled 24-game series, saying Fischer had insulted him by not showing up MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Hubert H. Humphrey and George McGovern are sparring verbally in a warmup for next week's Democratic National Convention while a federal appeals court considers the crucial California and Illinois credentials cases. Jack Chestnut, Humphrey's campaign manager, demanded that McGovern fire or repudiate Rick Stearns, one of his campaign aides, for saying that he favored a third party to "punish" Humphrey should the Minnesota senator win the Democratic presidential nomination. "Talk of punishment of the Democratic, party is irresponsible and can't be tolerated," Chestnut said, reacting to the Stearns comments which seem to be part of an effort by some McGovern aides to convince hall would be buttoned up" from midnight Sunday until late Monday afternoon for a bomb search recommended by the Secret Service. He said afternoon sessions may be necessary next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon to handle minority reports on the party's platform before the nomination proceedings begin.

Alternate delegates may be forced to take seats in the gallery. Murphy said, because Credentials Committee rulings on contested delegations have resulted in half-vote splits between warring factions.
