Komives had played in his last 20 games with the New Ydrk Knicks before coming to Detroit with Walt Bellamy in the deal that sent Dave De-Busschere to the Knicks and in every Pistons game since. Komives, forward Terry Dischinger and Erwin Mueller, who has been disabled with a back injury for more than a month, are the three white players on the roster.

im still playing," said Dischinger, a starter, "so I don't know what to say. Everyone has his own opinion; and, if Howie feels that way, he feels that way." DETROIT (AP) Veteran guard Howard Komives, one of three white basketball players on the Detroit Pistons roster, leveled a verbal blast at black Pistons Coach Lloyd Friday night, charging Lloyd with trying to phase out white players on the team. Komives, who had played In 284 consecutive National Basketball Association games before sitting out Friday's Pistons victory over Baltimore, told reporters after the game that white players on the team had been phased out gradually since Lloyd took over. It should be pretty evident to anyone whos been around, said Komives, still stinging from spending the entire 48 minutes on the bench. "I'd say he's trying to phase the white players out." I was very angry because he broke the streak, Komives continued, "but I wasn't surprised.

Just look whats happened. Komives referred to the fact -that Lloyd has cut two white players, Steve Mix and Harvey Marlatte, since his takeover, following the surprise resignation of former coach Bill van Breda Kollff Nov. 1. He believes that, since the Russian government pays its chess players, he had been systematically excluded from earning money in world tournaments and exhibitions; that the Russians influenced unfavorable world opinion of him, and that he was the object of Russian cheating conspiracies in past tournaments. (Yet.

his outspokenness, perhaps even more than his supreme skill, has made him the only recognized chess name to most Americans. They would send top Russian players globe-trotting to play free in places where I was asking for thousands of dollars," said Fischer. Well I've finally broken through this. But for about a year and eight months in 1969 and 1970, I was pretty discouraged. I refused to play the Russians and they have most of the best players in the world.

For a time I was thinking of quitting international chess. But then I thought, what else can I do? The answer was. nothing." Fischer entered two other world championship tournaments. The tell me my laundry was ready. It was noW 2 in the afternoon, and in a midtown Italian restaurant, Fischer talked about the Russians over breakfast (he stays up very late going over chess moves in his hotel room).

Now and then, he lifted large forkfuls of stringy spaghetini into his mouth. "I just read an attack on me by Bot-vmmk, the ex-world champion, in a Russian magazine," continued Fischer. "He said he was writing it in the interest of truth. He said I was capricious, conceited, paranoid, that I lacked principles and was not sufficient as a human being. He said he would substantiate the charges, 'But what would be he said.

I'm sick of their hypocrisy. "Like when I beat Petrosian recently in Buenos Aires. There was just this little squib in their papers about it. But there was a local championship that they put in headlines. If Petrosian had beaten me, then there would have been headlines." Fischer's bitter attitude toward the Russians is made up of three parts: money, recognifion and fair play.

(Last of Two Parti. i By IRA BERKOW NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK (NEA I "The Russians have been committing international crimes for so long spreading lies and political propaganda all over the world, cheating at sports someone has to stop them. I've been chosen," said Bobby Rscher. "I intend to teach them a littne humility. The 28-year-old U.S.

chess champion, Fischer, a high school dropout, will meet the world champion, Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, for the title sometime before June 30. The match will continue for 24 games spread over about two months. Ten cities have put in bids, the top ones coming from Yugoslavia (offering a total prize of $152,000) and from Argentina He and Spassky must agree on the site, if there is an impasse, the international federation will decide. The Russians didn't put in a bid," said Fischer. They knew I'd never go there to play.

I know they'd be waking me up at six in the morning to first, he quit when he accused the Russian players of rigging games between them to give one of their own points with ties to beat Fischer's total. Another time he walked out when he accused them of rigging the schedule. "They cheat in other sports not just chess," said The funniest if you think its funny is with their women track athletes. Some women! They take male hormone injections. Fischer is angry because, he says, he has been the worlds best chess player since he was 18; and has had little recognition and, especially, has not become wealthy as befits a champion, as, in fact, befits the worlds greatest all-time player, according to a rating system of the international chess federation.

"I was even put down in my own country," said Fischer. "Americans really- don't know much about chess. So they listened to other people. But I think if when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.

"The United States is not a cultural country. The people here want to be entertained. They dont want any mental strain, and chess is a high intellectual' form. Americans want to plunk in front of a TV, and not have to open a book. But now, President Nixon just sent me a letter saying that America is backing me.

United States is getting kicked aferund in the world. Im representing us, the entire free world, in fact, in a kind of grudge match against the Communists. (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) (End Series.)
