Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer apologized in writing Thursday to Boris Spas.sky for "disrespectful behavior" that threatened their world championship chess match, and Moscow's Tass news agency said "all demands of ihe Soviet delegation have been satisfied." It was announced that Ihe first game would be played Tuesday. Fischer, the American Challenger, and Spassky, the Soviet world champion, met Thursday night to draw for the first move in the $300,000 series of 24 games. Fischer drew the black pawn, giving Spas-sky the first move with white and a slight advantage. The draw was done the same way park-bench chess players would do it. Spassky took two pawns, one white, one black, juggled them behind his back then extended his closed hands to Fischer.

Without hesitation, Fischer hunched forward and pointed a finger to Spassky's right hand. With a smile Spassky opened it. Fischer delayed the opening of the match, which was to have begun last Sunday, in a holdout for more money. More prize money was donated, but Spassky then demanded a written apology for Fischer's conduct before the champion would play. Summer Time it lib?

Harry Golombek, an official of the International Chess Federation FIDE announced that both players had agreed to begin play on Tuesday.

The brief ceremony Thursday night was the first face-to-face meeting between the two contenders in the pre-game preparations. Like everything else it started late. Spassky was the first to arrive, coming 10 minutes before the scheduled start. The first question the Russians with him asked when they got backstage was, "Has Fischer come The answer was no. Fischer showed up 22 minutes late.

Wearing a light-green three-piece suit, Fischer sat at the board chatting with Spassky before the ceremony began. There were no handshakes. When he walked onstage at the Sports Palace, Fischer moved briskly to the side of the board with delegates pledged to. him by the convention opens. He raised $50000 for his campaign at two fund-raisers in Los Angeles and New York City, Gravel said, but he still has a campaign debt from 1968 and sizable legal fees to pay in connection with the grand jury investigation of his action a year ago in publicly reading the so-called Pentagon papers.

Gravel made his announcement in the same where he read the Pentagon papers into the record. He said his strength with delegates is that "I represent an anti-establishment view" and "many of the delegates I met told me they will not sit back dutifully as in the past waiting unti the presidential nominee magnanimously and at the last minute either makes his choice known or throws open the convention for the selection of a vice presidential W2, Wjshinslon siir WASHINGTON Sen.

(AP) A key White House aide sharply attacked Congress Thursday for an "appalling record" and disclosed President Nixon's pledge to veto any future money measures if they substantially exceed his budget. Emerging from an hour-long meeting with Nixon at the Western White House, new administration congressional relations chief William E. Timmons said there is a "cynical strategy on the part of some Democratic leaders" to send Nixon legislation with good purposes but with price tags far above the President's budget. The President said, Timmons told newsmen, that "this won't work. If they substantially break the President's budget he will veto those bills.

The President is leading 1he fight against higher taxes." Timmons characterized the record of the Democratic-controlled Congress as miserable, appalling and irresponsible, thus setting the stage for a Nixon re-election campaign aimed partially at a "do-nothing Congress." Timmons was named last weekend to succeed Clark MacGrogor as Ihe chief White House lobbyist on Capitol Hill. Mac-Gregor, who succeeded former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell as director of the Nixon re-eleclion campaign, joined in Thursday's meeting at the ocean-front Western White House. Timmons said the re-election campaign was not discussed, but said Nixon "feels the American people deserve a vote up or down" in Congress on his major proposals and that inaction could become a campaign issue "if Congress continues to ignore what we interpret as the public wishes." He cited the President's proposed moratorium on forced school busing as "very high on the list" of major proposals Nixon wants acted upon.

Others included welfare revision, revenue sharing and arms limitation agreements. Nixon, who arrived here Saturday for two weeks of work and relaxation, will receive from his Cost of Living Council Friday a report on possible future steps to curb rising food prices.
