The intake: 305 million gallons of alcoholic beverages. W'ilh a per capita average of 16 gallons of beer per year, Canadians still favor suds over other beverages. They drink less than one gallon of wine each, and just over a gallon of liquor. Almost all of it is locally made stuff, as imports for .1071 accounted only for $03 million wurth of alcoholic beverages.

Fischer, as usual, was late. He arrived seven minutes after bpassky moved his queen's pawn and referee Lothar Silnnid pressed Uie button to start Fischer's clock. The game went cautiously at first, with the players allot-ed 2'a hours each to make 40 moves.

The experts said Fischer was trying for a draw by exchanging pieces. He galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal, snatching up a bpassky pawn. In a few moves the bishop was trapped. In the exchange, Kischer lost the bishop for two pawns, Byrne called it a blunder. However, if it was a blunder it was an attempt to inject life, and perhaps vicbiry, into a apparently stalemated game.

What surprised many was the cautious play in the opening and middle of the game by Fischer, who has a reputation for killer instinct. Ex-perls from five countries said it appeared the challenger was trying to force a draw and a split point for the first game. The 29-year-old American needs 12' a points to lift a y's crown in Ihe 21-Pame match, which could last two months. Spassky, needs only 12 points a draw to retain the championship, which has been in Soviet hands since 1948. One point, is given for a game victory, half a point for a draw.

London oridsmakers raled the American Hie favorite to win he competition. The winner gets five-eighths of Ihe $125,060 put up by the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation, or plus $75,000 of the $130,000 contributed by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer lo end bis holdout last week. Organiiiers estimated Fischer and Spassky will divide si least another as the players', share in Ihe sale of television and film rights. Before the players separated Tuesday night, Spassky wrote his 41st move on a sheet of paper, sealed it in an envelope and gave it to fjchmid, the referee from West Germany. Schmid will open the envelope this afternoon and make Spassky's first move for him.

W. Abel joined the ranks of labur leaders who said they couldn't support McGovern this fall. The suspense over the nomi-nalion might be over, but the drama of the convention wasn't. Wallace headed for Convention Hall in a wheelchair to demand in person that the pro -McGovern parly plalform be amended to take a strong stand against busing. Wallace was the first presidential candidate to appear at a convention before the nomination balloting since Adlai Stevenson interested but undeclared set off a tremendous floor ovation before the liaiO Democratic convention which nominated John Kennedy in I.ns Angeles.

Discontent with the prospective McGovern nomination was widespread as Ihe convention began its secund session Tuesday night, after a nine hour delegate credentials battle that lasted until dawn. Texas conservatives swung to Jackson and Terry Sanford of North Carolina, protesting that McGovern stood virtually no chance of carrying their stale in November. Similar rumblings were heard in oilier slule delegations. One Louisiana delegate, Edwin Edwards, flew home early in disgust. Wallace's Florida supporters said they would stay as "Uie sole major last bastion of defence against ultra-Liberal, socialistic movement," In (he keynote address, Askew urged Democrats to unite behind a "coalition of protest" against unfair taxation and "government by Ihe few." McGovern's name will be placed in nomination tonight by ben, Abraham Kiblcoft of Connecticut.

Humphrey showed no personal animosity against McGovern. Some of Ihe Minnesota senator's aides suggested he refrained from endorsing McGovern at this time because of the AFL-CTO's unyielding opposition to Ihe south Dakotan.
