JULY 13, 1972 GENERAL THE LEADER-POST, REGINA, SASK. Fischer objects to cameras Hard work won McGovern votes MIAMI BEACH (AP) "We By DON McLEOO which cave him the parly's envy of tho political world for didn't want a repetition of Chi- t-ago in 1008," Senator George Tho chief arbiter of tho match, West German grandmaster Lothcr Schmid, said that if tha American challenger fails to turn up within an hour of the scheduled start of tonight's second game ho will immediately forfeit it. Tho television rights are held by American businessman Chester Fox, who is trying to arrange for a meeting between his lawyer and Fischer reach compromise, possibly involving tho reinstatement of tho cameras in towers behind the stage. Tho Amsterdam agreement which tho 24-game series is being played. Fischer lost tho opening game of the match Wednesday night after walking out for 30 minutes in protest against what he considered be the distracting presence of television cameras set up at the back of the stage to cover tho event.

Tho cameras were withdrawn. But the Amsterdam agreement provides for the presence of the cameras and Fischer now Is taking tlw line that ho has not signed the agreement and therefore is not bound by it. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (Reu-tor) Bobby Fischer, Ameri-can challenger for tho world chess title, is demanding tho removal of all television cameras from the playing hall before continuing the championship scries against Russia's Boris Spassky in the second game today. World Chess Federation sources said this latest demand from the 29-year-old Fischer represented a clear threat to the continuation of the match as it directly contravened the Amsterdam agreement under says television cameras will be allowed as long as they are neither visible nor audible. Fischer walked off because he spotted tlw lens of one of the cameras and claimed it was distracting him.

Assuming that this dispute is cleared up, Fischer will be out today to level tho scores with Spassky in the knowledge that a second defeat would leave him carrying a heavy psychological burden. "It will settle down," Fischer said. The second game starts at 1 p.m. with a maximum of 23 more games to be played. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves.

In tlie resumed play, Fischer resigned after 50 moves. n. nonunauon wcunesciay nigm, jis mm vmi-iuni-y, sense of history which told him If it seems miraculous that Ho recruited a staff which times were changing and a pas- this eould happen to a soft- complemented all his best traits slon for organization which voiced, farm-belt senator whoso and shored up his weaknesses, helped his youthful armies beat namo was recognized by only and attracted untold thousands tho old guard at Its own game five pop cent of tho American of devoted volunteers, are the simple secrets of public when ho began his quest, ne adopted a strategy IllWIPfTA I.

As McGovern spoke, more than 1,000 protesters gathered peacefully- at Convention Hall to hear anti-war activist David Bellinger and other speakers urge them "to keep the pressure on McGovern."

Nearly three weeks ago, 200 mail sorters in Ottawa walked off their jobs in an illegal work stoppage saying they feared loss of jobs and cutbacks in pay. They returned at the urging of union leaders and after government promises that none would lose jobs.

However, it was tho first major sign of discontent this year. In 1968, there was a three-week national strike, while in 1970 a series of rotating strikes disrupted postal services. did, but Kennedy's personal McGovern was grim and firm tragedy at Chappaquiddick seemed to leave tho field clear.

The secretary stopped short ot saying that the president would bid for the governor's public support; but he concededas have other Nixon strategists that even a "neutral" Wallace would enhance Nixon's already strong prospects in southern and border states. In a related development, Charles S.

SEMPLE JR. MIAMI BEACH One of President Nixon's closest political advisers voiced the expectation here Wednesday that discussions between the Nixon camp and the forces of Gov.

George C. Wallace of Alabama would take place sometime after the Democratic convention. In an interview at a small Republican outpost in this temporarily Democratic city, Rogers C. B. Morton, secretary of the interior, said ho knew of no approaches by senior Republican officials to Wallace so far.

But he said it was reasonable to assume that Nixon would designate an emissary to sound out the governor on his political plans and ambitions "at the appropriate time." Nixon's strategists, are not counting on overt support next fall from Wallace, who told the Democratic convention Tuesday night that he wanted to "help the Democratic party." But the White House is clearly hopeful that Wallace will old one expired in March the issue is hanging over talks between postal unions and the federal government. The government plans to install mail sorting machines 15 major centres and wants to pay operators less than manual mail sorters now receive. The operators would earl $2.94 an hour, while manual mail sorters earn more than $3.00 an hour. Although the government has promised that no employees would lose jobs, union leaders se.s the new class of employees as perhaps a first step in a series of mechanization moves that could lower the basic wages of postal employees. The unions want to negotiate creation of the jobs, but government officials reject the idea.

The new classification is a matter for consultation only, a government official said. To the unions, consultation means being presented with a take-it-or-leave-it situation. James McCall, president of th? Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said Wednesday that the union was investigating legal means of getting the government to discuss the classification. He would not elaborate. While bargaining on the nonmonetary terms of a ngw contract is progressing, he said the big issue introduction of the machines and the new class of employees was being left out.

Mr! McCall said the postal workers have never before been faced with such a grave issue, instead, of buying machines to aid employees, ths government will be in future hiring workers to aid the machines. "We had high hopes this year would be the year without the strike," Mr. McCall said re Cheered when he arrived and often as he spoke, McGovern was booed loudly when he said he would not sign a proposal calling for life imprisonment for any police officer who murders a black, Mexican-American or other minority group person.
