The VANCOlTrER SUN: July 10, 1072 3 FIRST MOVE SET FOR TUESDAY Arrival of favorite chair Fischer's finishing touch 5 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (LP!) The Boris Sjjassky-BMiy Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived. The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess ball Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organii-ers 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 Thorarins-son, 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." a the 35 year old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving fur a salmon fishing tour of Northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready.

We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess 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. Gudmundur Arniaugsson, deputy referee of the match, has chosen a chess board of Icelandic staves made especially for the match. A newly-ordained Lutheran minister in Reykjavik, preaching his first sermon, assailed both Fischer and Spassky Sunday.

Rev. Oiafur Jens Sigurdsson said in a religious broadcast that Fischer, was guilty of the "sin of greed" and Spassky, the "sin of anger." The clergyman's reference to Fischer alleged "greed" recalled the America n's threat to wreck the 24-game series unless the Icelanders gave him more money. Spassky's anger was shown in the world champion's threat to walk out unless he got an apology from Fischer for delaying the match over money. The match is the talk of Iceland. The sentiment seemed to favor Spassky.

Fischer's behavior appeared to have eroded his early position as the popular favorite in a place where the Russians aren't well liked.

"Perhaps in the incident on July in San Francisco, the unfortunate loss of one passenger's life meant saving of some 85 others, and also the saving, perhaps, of hundreds of lives of the 161 million who ride the airlines every year," he said. In an interview with U.S. News and World Report, Davis, a retired air force general, expressed regret over the killing of E. It. Stanley Carter, 66, of Longueille, a retired railway conductor.

"Regrettable as was the necessity for the action that took place in San Francisco, and in Saigon a few days earlier, such episodes certainly will have a deterrent effect upon people who would hijack aircraft in the future," he said. Davis, assistant secretary of transportation, said that he does not think the use of guns against hijackers is increasing the risk to lives of passengers. "I believe that these tough new tactics are actualy saving the lives of passengers."

SYNOPSIS: A ridge of high pressure will bring some sunshine to many areas today. A new disturbance moving in is expected to clear B.C. tonight. Asked why authorities are getting tougher with hijackers, Davis said: "The position has changed, obviously, because the threat has changed." He said today's hijackings are mure serious than the earlier ones to Cuba. HIJACKERS Doctor urges use of hypnosis LOS ANGELES (liPI) -The way to deal with 2 skyjacker is to get him talking about his childhood, according to a medical hypnotist who says he would volunteer to go along as a hijacking hostage to try his technique.

"The FBI the other day blasted the hell out of two guys (hijackers), but the answer is not in the man's gun, but in the man mind," Dr. William Bryan said Sunday. Dr. Bryan, a surgeon and member of the American Institute of Hypnosis, described most skyjackers as "lonely, attention-seeking misfits." He said, "Once you convince them that you can do more for them than the hijacking, you've got the thing won." The hypnotist faulted the FBI's new "shoot first and ask questions later" manner in which they killed two men Wednesday attempting force a California commuter jet to fly to Russia with 85 passengers. "I just don't see why you can't just sit down and talk with them (hijackers) and use proven hypnotic techniques," the doctor said.
