We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice-president of the S. Federation But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday.

Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair."

accurate, it is true that thousands of soldiers French and Indochinese did not return. Furthermore, the North Vietnamese in the 1950s blatantly used the prisoners to bargain for tactical military advantages, and to wring out propaganda confessions. By NICHOLAS DANILOFF WASHINGTON (UPI) -With the resumption of the Paris talks on Vietnam, the outlook for American prisoners of war looks as bleak as ever. A look at French experience with the North Vietnamese suggests that Hanoi will drive a hard bargain to the very end.

In the samr fV, dry prairie voice with wh he announced his candidacy 18 months ago when he was unknown to most Americans McGovern expressed boundless confidence of reaching his goal.

He claimed enough support in tonight's voting to reverse the Credentials Committee vote which took from him 151 of the 271 delgates won June 6 in California's winner-take-all primary.

The UPI tabulation gave Humphrey 531.55, plus 58 leaning. The uncommitted bloc numbered 311.4. McGovern, well aware that victory on tonight's procedural votes over the ground rules of the convention could yield victory Wednesday, wooed delegates for support In that crucial roll call.
