At long, long last, chess championship underway today By STEPHEN' BROENLNO Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized (vorld chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops.

Also show similarities, they noted, were signatures coming from the Jeficrson Park housing project in Cambridge.

Tsoukalas has certified signatures. The nomination papers of Richard Slrunk, a BiUeriea policeman, and candidate for county commissioner contained (he signatures ol three persons listed as deceased by Ihe Cambridge election commission. Tile Ihree had already heen invalidated. Strunk's papers, said the challengers, contain, in many instances, pages of alternating addresses, lor example, a Bow Sheet, Somerville address alternating a I way down the page with a Partridge Somerville address. Also alternating were the color ink used.

Although their challengers are fewer in number, some Republican contenders arc also crying foul. Maltar said he and his fellow Buckley endorsed candiadatc have called in handwriting expert Elizabeth McCarthy to look over the papers of Vitagliano and Wood. Mrs. McCarthy, Maltar is prepared lo testify that nearly all of he 1231 signatures on Vitaglianu's papers are forgeries with one person apparently signing entire cages full of names. THE PAPERS ARE somewhat unusual in that al! street addresses are in alphabetical order.

For example, page one are reporlcdly ali Everett addresj.es going in order they list names on Baker Road, Belle View Avenue, Cherry H'rccl, Perry Street, Florence Street, Frccmont Avenue, Garland Place, Harvard Street, and li ving Street. Anolher page goes in order from Dunstcr to WeslDver, another from Upland to Walnut, Broadway to Liberty. The alphabetical order, Matlar noted, probably indicates the names were laken from voter lists. Matter added that three campaign workers for his slate found (heir names listed on (he papers of the candidates being challenged. "There is a paflcni of fraud and a concerted effort to attempt to put people in the primary for purposes cf harassment." Matlar claimed.

viinl we're going to do is expose fraud and corruplion then ill is is a good place to start." Mallar added he would like the whole situiilion invcsligakd by Mil the attorney general and the district attorney. Now Ihe work of proving the case will be begun by staff people lor those making the challenges. Names on hUSjiected lisls will have to tc called and asked to verify their signatures Ilandwiiling experts will prepare (heir ensec for presentation to the Ballot Law Commission. The whole pioceis is lime consuming and expensive. Mallar estimates his group's challenge of only Iv.
