The White House said yesterday that President Nixon was pleased with North Vietnam's announced intention of releasing three prisoners of war, but described the three as only an infinitesimal portion of the POWs held in Indochina. "We have been pressing for release of prisoners in every form, private and public," said the White House press secretary, Ronald L. Ziegler. "We will not rest until there is a complete accounting of all missing in action and release of all prisoners held throughout Indochina," Ziegler said. Yesterday, Hanoi's official news agency announced the North Vietnamese army's intention to release the three but didn't disclose the date or place of their release.

The North Vietnamese say they have 383 prisoners. American officials put the total number at 539, with about 1,000 more missing in action throughout Indochina. The President conferred for more than an hour yesterday with his foreign affairs ad-v i Henry A. Kissinger, presumably to discuss Hanoi's move. North Vietnam said it would have freed more prisoners if the United States had given a positive response to Communist terms for peace in Vietnam.

The release of prisoners was the first by North Vietnam in more than three years. The North Vietnamese announcement came on the 27th anniversary of the founding of North Vietnam. Hanoi said the release was ordered under the "humane and lenient policy of the government." The announcement said the pilots had applied for amnesty. Hanoi's official Vietnam News Agency said the prisoners, Markham Ligon Gartley and Norris Alphonso Charles, both Navy lieutenants, junior grade, and a Knight Elias, an Air Force major, would be released to a U. S.

Ricord arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport last night at 8:03 As U.S. authorities took custody of the 61-year-old Franco-Argentine a President Stroessner Airport and put him on a specially chartered Pan American jetliner with two doctors aboard, he said: "I never was a drug trafficker. I never shipped drugs to the United States.

I never was in that country. I don't know how they can condemn me." But the U.S. government, which fought a 17-month legal battle to get him extradited from Paraguay, has named Ricord as a key figure in a vast network that has been in operation for the past five years. The jetliner was presumably flying directly to New York from here but the flight plan was secret. A Pan American spokesman said the big Boeing 707 was chartered by the U.S.

government and that it had the fuel capacity for a nonstop flight to New York. Meanwhile, in Saddle River, N.J., Nelson G.

Fischer, leading lH'i, needed only one point one win or two draws to end 26 years of Soviet monopoly of the title.

"I had a chance to win in that game," Spassky said. "But I made a mistake. Fischer found the right defense, and I lost my interest in playing. I was quite confident that if he lost just one game, he could not have fought back." Spassky said that he was relieved to no longer be champion, but that he had plans to play Fischer in the future. His remarks set up the possibility of a Fischer-Spassky rematch.

Fischer's aides have denied reports that he plans to play Spassky again next year, but the new champion says he From The Record Wire Services REYKJAVIK A blunder that cost Boris Spassky the 13th game against Bobby Fischer will go down in chess history as the pivot point of the 1972 world championship, many grandmasters believe. Spassky, playing white in that game, Aug. 11, was in peak form, having taken IV2 of a possible 2 points from the two preceding games to stand at 5-7. After nine hours' play, he had turned a losing position into a probable draw with a brilliant defense. Fischer, who had gained the initiative when he breached a make-or-break Russian attack, was also playing what aides said was the ''most exquisite endgame of his life." Inexplicably, on the 69th move, the champion erred.

He checked the American king with a rook on his own queen-one square, instead of checking the king by moving the rook to the third rank. A draw would have kept Spassky in contention. In defeat 5-8 down, he sat alone at the board until referee Lothar See FATAL, Page A-16 The Associated Press REYKJAVIK Boris Spassky wants to play Bobby Fischer again for the world chess championship and feels sure he can beat him. The Russian denied a Reykjavik newspaper story that he is planning to defect to the West. ''T hat's just journalism," Spassky said.

The tabloid Visir reported "very strong rumors" that the defeated Soviet champion would seek political asylum in a Western country rather than return home in disgrace. Spassky dismissed the report with a laugh during an interview yesterday at seaside suburban villa where he had remained secluded for much of the a with Fischer. Spassky said he had felt quite confident of beating Fischer until the very last day The Mini Page offers puzzles, pictures, and poems written by and for younger readers.

The original German invention was a crude model which could run only for a few minutes. The center stood still and the housing rotated around it. "I remember the first time we finally got it to work," Jones said. "It shook and thundered, turning red-hot, belching out smoke and fumes and pouring out oil, and then stopped.

But our meters told us it was producing energy." Year after year, Jones and others worked to improve the Wankel. "My daughters' teen- pump motors, snowmobiles, and even model planes.
