The bad apple was the thief who stole their car trailer containing most of their home furnishings and clothing and $480 while Mr. and Mrs. Cizek Gottfried and their four young children were staying in a motel. The Gottfrieds drove here from Los Angeles and stayed in the motel temporarily while Gottfried, 31, looked for a job as a meatcutter and a place to live. The story of the trailer theft was in a newspaper, and offers to help poured in by the dozens.

As a result of one call, the Gottfrieds and their children, ages 3 to 8, had lunch Tuesday with Gov. Edgar D. Whitcomb in his Riley Towers penthouse apartment. After lunch, Whitcomb made a phone call and instructed Gottfried to report for work as a meatcutter today at a grocery company. There were other offers of jobs, clothing, furniture and cash.

When the two resume the game the first in their $250,000, 24-game world match Spassky has a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns.

Play resumes at 5 p.m. (1 p.m. EDT). Most experts assembled here seemed to agree that Spassky has a chance to win, while Fischer should be happy If he salvages a draw. But nobody has come up with an explanation why the American chess genius went straight into what appeared to be a Russian trap.

"He took a chance to win a He said Wallace now has 26, including the 21 committed to him and five at large votes in his favor. The remaining 22 are spread among Sen. Henry M. Jackson and other candidates remaining in the race. But, St.

Angelo said, "if Wallace doesn't go to the post" and releases the 21 delegates committed to him, McGovern would pick up enough additional strength to give him about 40 votes. McGovern never entered the chess games. The Icelanders rejected Fischer's demand and told him it is up to the official referee, Lothar Schmid of West Germany, to run the game from now on. Spassky's seconds, Including international grand masters Efrlm Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky. Many experts feel they will suceed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw."

By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first world chess championship game. In that moment, soft-spoken and mild-mannered Boris Spassky proved why he is the world champion in the noblest of games.

He immediately pounced on Fischer's bishop left trapped afW capturing one of the Russian pawns and the game tuned distinctly in Spassky's favor. Spassky asked for adjourn chance," said Danish grandmaster Jens Eneveoldsen. "We will never know until Fischer tells us if he does," said another international grandmaster. Fischer obviously was displeased with his game. After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to complain against what he described as the noisy audience.

Some 3,000 Icelanders and foreign chess enthusiasts had packed into the Lagardur Hall for the opening thriller. But most knowledgable observers said they felt the audience was more quiet than is normal at top.
