For those of you bereft of an atlas, this is a fog-shrouded, inhabited iceberg in the Atlantic reachable only by nuclear sub or polar bear. Bobby, who has all the warmth of a hooded cobra, sputters when be thinks about it. "Stooges!" he shouts.

'The International Chess Federation and the American Federation, are all stooges of the Russians!" THE CONDITIONS ARE SUCH that "drawn" games will be allowed. To Bobby, this is an international mistake of magnitude of not being able to bomb the enemy supply lines. Bobby wants to win. But, of course, America is in a period of not being beastly to the Russians. PIRATES WIflP BRAVES Sammy.

Apparently, chess is a game in which it's easy to play for a stalemate. say "apparently" because Bobby, explaining chess at the Dewar's Celebrity Tennis Tournament at La Costa the other day, has all the patience of Edward Teller explaining the hydrogen atom to a guy with a bone in his nose.

The Russian champion, Spas-sky, is "not in my class, really," Bobby sais. "I'm a better player, period-IF we play 10 matches to win, which is the way- a match of this kind OUGHT to be played. "I'm being dictated to by the Russian Chess Federation and my government is going along because, let's face it, we're in a program of 'detente' and I'm being sold out." Speaking' of "selling out," Bobby also points out carefully most recent modified midget event here two weeks ago. The Class main event winner was Ronnie Lynch of Carls-Ibad. Drivers are expected tomorrow from Amarillo, in addition to those from Carlsbad and Hobbs.

Fern Volleyball Mo ving To AV A surprisingly successful new adult volleyball venture, part of he Carlsbad Summer Recreation Program, will feature a separate session and site for women participants beginning Tuesday. Summer Recreation Supervisor Ron Burton said the turnout of both men and women has been so large that there is no longer room for everybody in one gymnasium. Therefore, women volleyballers will begin meeting at Alta Vista Gym each Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. -starting June 27. Men participants will remain at Mid High Gym, also meeting at 7: 30 p.m.

Well, it's the same old sordid drama. Why aren't the students out burning their chess boards on the White House lawn? Where is Dr. Spock in this crisis? Shouldn't Bobby defect to Canada? And where are the groups chanting "Hell, no, Bobby won't go!" Can't Fulbright call a hear--ingf Was this one of the concessions Nixon made at Moscow? Is Joe Alsop just going to SIT there? Not me. I'm organizing a "Free Bobby Fischer" movement right now. After' all, just because chess players are a minority doesn't mean they don't have rights! A special attraction on the program will be an expedition race to be staged by goart drivers.

Get Henry Kissinger on it at once. The United States is walking into another Communist trap! It's going to be the same old story. It's going to be a conflict, of their 'choosing, on their grounds, under their terms. It's going to be the same old crud, a conflict we probably can't win because a stalemate is almost built in. It's going to have demilitarized zones, sanctuaries, the whole lot.

And a tie, THEY win. The circumstances are these: The United States is probably the world's mightiest chess power. That's because we have Bobby Fischer, the Brooklyn prodigy whose disposition would have to improve to be described as merely "irascible." Bobby is about to be sacrificed on the altar of diplomatic expedience, a tragic patriot in the mold of Douglas MacArthur, Gary Powers or the Lafayette Escadrille. We're sending him up in a coffin. We're sending him into battle handcuffed.

BOBBY HAS WON ALL THE slurmishes in this'conflict. He routed a collection of Russian shock troops in Argentina a year ago with almost bored ease: Now, he is to meet the Russian champion, Boris Spassky. Immediately, of course, the juggling started. The Russians tried to steer the ultimate conflict to the Tannenberg Marshes, or anywhere in the world the terrain would favor them. They usually do.

Bobby thought Las Vegas would be fine. The Russians shuddered. They had, after all, seen "The Godfather." They suggested some venues where they think "moving pictures'r are cave drawings in an earthquake. STATION WAGON FOAM PAD Polyuiethane foam rubber. Reversible.
