Seamus Twomey. chief of the Irish Republican Army's Provisional wing, told newsmen his forces might consider renewing the cease-fire they ended Sunday after 13 days. But he said the British must guarantee there will be no army raids or arrests, no "harassment" of his men, and complete freedom for the Provisionals to mow freely, although in "low profile." There was no immediate reaction from the British.

like McGovem, practical, efficient and determined. When the staff was together and the basic forms of the campaign ready. McGovem announced his candidacy on Jan. 18, 1971, a year and a half before the nominating convention and earlier than any candidate since Andrew Jackson. McGovern felt he had to announce early, lest some other potential candidate from the same shade of the political spectrum beat him to it, somebody like Hughes or even Kennedy.

And he needed the time to gain the one thing he had most lacked, recognition. As a presidential candidate, however lightly his candidacy might be taken, he would get more notice, and more media coverage. He had a long way to go. One poll rated him as the choice of only 2 per cent of rank-and-file Democrats: everybody said Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie, the vice presidential nominee in 1968. was an un-catchable frontrunner. "I know what the public-opinion polls say," he conceded, "but If the polls had been right in 1967, George Romney would now be in his third year in the White House. I think polls two years before the election are irrelevant." McGovern saw the primaries as the way to change that. "That's where the Democratic presidential nomination will be decided." He would jump right in with the New Hampshire primary, no matter that it was virtually Muskie's backyard and one of the most unlikely grounds for a South Dakota libera) to make bis stand.

He didn't have to beat Muskie there, only slow him down.

(AP Wirephoto) IT'S OVER Boris Spassky shakes hands with Bobby Fischer after Spassky defeated Fischer in the first game of This was the body, created at the Chicago convention, which was to reform the ancient methods by which Democrats nominated their presidential candidates and to assauge the anger of dissenters within the party. McGovern was tapped for the job because the party leadership felt he was more moderate than such reformers as Sen. Harold Hughes of Iowa, who wanted the job and had been the chief instigator of the restructuring drive.

McGovem's selection came chiefly on the preference of his long-time friend, titular party head Hubert H. Humphrey, who later was to tangle with McGovem over the new rules in this year's California delegate challenge. When the work was done, the Democratic party had opened up the process of delegate selection to the rank and file and seriously weakened the past abilities of local and national party leaders to rule by edict. As he stepped out of the job to run for the presidency. McGovern declared that the next convention would "be less a power-broker's convention and more a people's convention the least boss-ridden and most democratic in history." These words proved most prophetic and spelled out in a nutshell the chief reason for McGovem's belief that he had a chance at the presidential nomination even if he was unknown and not a member of the party's ruling clique.

McGovem must have had in his mind by then the methods be would use. His next step was to find a staff to put it into practice. After some early shuffling, he began to crysta-lize his team in late 1970. From Denver he brought in Gary Hart, now 34, a lawyer who had handled the Western states in Robert Kennedy's 1968 campaign. Hart is a prag-matist bent on efficiency, the perfect extension of McGovern.

He became the new campaign manager and principal organizer. Rick Stearns, a brainy 27-year-old former Rhodes scholar, was put in charge of. the nonprimary states and became chief delegate-counter. But this crew of bright, new managers needed an acceptable link to the establishment if it was to make its way through the world of practical Bobby Fischer Vows To Settle Down After Losing First Match To Champ In Texas (Continued from page one); was used to check passengers boarding the flight in Oklahoma City, Sarge Glenn, a deputy marshal in Philadelphia said National has no metal detection devices there.

REYKJAVIK. Iceland tAP) "It will settle down." Bobby Fischer said Wednesday night after he lost the first game of the world chess championship to defending champion Boris Spassky. The second game is this afternoon, starting at 1 pin. EOT. With a maximum of 23.

more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischer's loss "isn't necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win." A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesday's match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs 12' i points to end the 24-year Soviet monopoly of the title. He has played Spassky six times, been beaten by him four times and drawn twice.

Today he plavs the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adjourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to chief referee Lolhar Schmid of West Germany and strode to a backstage dressing room. Schmid followed him. and Fischer said he wouldn't continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut off.

Schmid said he couldn't order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. After Spassky 's 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, fold ed his storecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applauding Spassky.

Whitefaced. Fischer left the hall by the stage door and hurried to a waiting car. From the car he spotted John Collins, a paraplegic who taught him the game. Collins was in a wheelchair, and Fischer rolled down the car window and said: "I'm sorry. It will settle down." When the play resumed Wednesday, Spassky had his king, a bishop that controlled the black diagonals and three pawns.

Fischer was down to bis king and five pawns, two of them loose on the king's side. One of Spassky's pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. In his first move, Spassky captured that pawn. Fischer recaptured with his king and the game turned into an effort by Fischer to push his pawns a square at a time to the last rank under the escort of his king. After his walkout, he made an ineffectual sidestep with his king.

In ensuing play all the pawns on the king's side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and two of Spassky's blocked each other's passage. Fischer couldn't unblock because Spassky's bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spassky's 56th move his king approached the jam on the queen's side Fischer gave up. International Grandmaster Isaac Kashdan of Los Angeles, who is analyzing the match for The Associated Press, said Fischer on Wednesday "might have carried on for a few more moves, or resigned earlier.
