WHILE THEY LAST 4 PC. METAL m1? MINI HAIR II Boris Spassky, Russian world chess champion, walks out of meeting with representatives of Bobby Fischer, who has challenged him for the world title in Reykjavik, Iceland. Ony America could produce Bobby Fischer' (O 1972 New York Times News Service MOSCOW-A Soviet newspaper editor buttonholed an American at a reception Wednesday and said: 'it is a money-grubbing society like yours that produces a Bobby Fischer. If anything like this ever happened in the Soviet Union, the pressure of public opinion would never stand for it." The Russian was commenting on the impasse at the international chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, where the long-awaited 24-game series has been held up first by the United States challenger's delayed arrival and then by the refusal of Boris Spassky, the Soviet world champion, to start playing. News of a qualified apology issued Wednesday on behalf of Fischer was not immediately reported in the controlled Soviet media, but judging from the present temper of chess fans and' officialdom the Russians are in no mood to relent until unspecified sanctions are imposed against Fischer for having violated the agreed upon rules of the match.

"HE SHOULD not be allowed to get away with it," a Russian remaked, alluding to Fischer's demands for a bigger share of the gate receipts that cused postponement of the scheduled opening of the chess match on Sunday. It was only after James D. Slater, a London banker, offered $130,000 in additional prize money that the American decided to fly to Reykjavik yesterday. By then, however, Spassky insisted that the challenger be penalized for failure to start the match on time. Some chess fans here have suggested that the present impasse should be resolved by giving Spassky the first game by default on the ground that Fischer had not shown up as provided by the rules.

THE AMERICAN'S apparent emphasis on prize money has been difficult for Russians to understand. The Soviet editor, in alluding to the ethics of capitalist society, phrased the problem in highly ideological terms, making no allowance of personal idiosyncrasies or eccentricities as possible factors in Fischer's case. But even less ideologically minded chess fans here have accused Fischer of lowering the game of chess from the lofty esteem in which it is held in the Soviet Union to the level of betting on the horses and other money -oriented sporting events. The Soviet media have also been critical of Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, for not adopting a sterner attitude toward Fischer's actions. REFLECTING A growing impatience over what has been viewed by Soviet officials as kid-glove treatment given to Fischer by the world federation, the, government newspaper Izvestia published a letter Wednesday night under the headline "How Much More Can Anyone Fuss?" The letter, by members of the Chess Club of Moscow hachev Automotive Plant, said: "The officials of the world federation contend that they are concerned mainly with the game of chess and preservation of sportsmanship in the conduct of all matches.

One of the most effective contributions they could make to the sportsmanlike purity of chess is to call Fischer to order. He has been openly introducing into the game a spirit of sordid utilitarianism, money-grubbing and tactlessness. Mental ward blaze in England kills 30 NEW! NEW!

Dr. Peter Johnson, chairman of the hospital management committee, said there was no sprinkler system in the ward which had been open only two months after the 25-year-old wing was remodelled. Kempshaw said at least one of the ward's doors was unlocked and it would have been relatively easy to flee. "But," he said, "remember, this was a deep dependency ward, housing men who were severely mentally handicapped." The nursing staff rushed to the building and brought out seven of the patients, one of whom died later.

Some of the men who escaped were able to walk from the ward with nurses supporting them while others had to be carried. SHERBORNE, England (UPI)-A flash fire swept a newly renovated ward in a mental hospital early Wednesday, killing 30 of the 36 male patients who were too severely retarded to flee through an unlocked door. Harry Kempshaw, secretary of the Coldharbor Hospital, said one of the patients in the ward was 16 and the rest were middle-aged but their average mental age was "about 5 or 6." "It was a tremendous, horrifying fire," he said. "I have never seen anything like it." Kempshaw said a night nurse spotted flames in the dormitory of the hospital's single-story brick Winfrith Villa wing shortly before 3 a.m. and sounded an alarm to wake the sleeping patients.
