He won the( draw giving him the important first move. The sources said that during the disputes, Lothar Schmid of West Germany, the chief REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Disputes all day Thursday left in doubt until an hour be-' fore they drew tots that Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer would play for the world chess championship, informed sources reported yesterday. Telephone calis from the camp of the Russian champion and. the American chal referee, twice threatened to quit.

Harry Golombek, acting in the absence of Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) overruled Schmid and said, We will go on. Having dropped their demand, that Fischer forfeit the first game because of his late arrival for the scheduled start last Sunday, the Russians asked Thursday morning that Spassky be allowed to rest until Tuesday. They said he was tired and upset by all the controversy and delay. Lawyer Paul marshal and the other men representing Fischer first rejected the re- I1: I 4j jie Patriarch Held in Istanbul Movie Star On Medal The face of movie star Sophia Loren appears on the front of a medal issued in Rome yesterday by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, is cast in bronze, silver or gold to commemorate 20 years the FAO has been based in Italy.

(AP) GM Joins Move to Boost Prices for 1973 Models quest, saying the American insisted that the match start tomorrow. FIDE officials intervened and obtained American agreement on condition that Spas-sky put the request in writing. The day dragged on while officials tried to locate Spassky, who was finally found through the Soviet Emtiassy.

He consented to write it. 1 Fischer then demanded that he be allowed days off on September religious holidays recognized by the 1 i Church of God, the fundamentalist sect he follows, if the match runs over its scheduled end of August finish. More negotiations ensued. The dispute that nearly caused Schmid to walk out was a demand by Marshal that restrictions on- transmitting move-by-move reports of the games be lifted. Rights to a running play-by-play have been sold, and correspondents are limited in the number of times they can transmit the moves.

Schmid pointed out that the restrictions had been public knowledge for weeks. He said it was irresponsible for Mar-, shal to raise the question at the eleventh hour. The demand was finally withdrawn. The accumulated bad feeling between the two sides involved in the $300,000 match dissipated when Fischer and Spassky met backstage at the hall. Witnesses said when the contenders met in the corridor outside their dressing rooms, Fischer extended his hand and Spassky immediately reached for it in a warm handshake.

Fischer did not apologize for being late. Onstage for the draw where Fischer chose the closed hand with the black pawn in it, awarding Spassky first move the two men conversed cordially, witnesses said. They were out of earshot of newsmen seated some 10 yards away. Fischer objected to the special overhead lighting put in for him at the cost of $5,500 and said he didnt like the pieces or the marble chess board either. After a while he said the would do and so would the English-made pieces.

You can change the board if. you like, Bobby, Spassky offered. Its all right I guess, Fischer replied. When the brief ceremony was over, Fischer started for the exit. A witness said Spassky called after him: Good luck Bobby.

The prelates met as the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church. Their purpose was to arrange funeral details, but a spokesman said the meeting was adjourned until today without any decision. The Soviet news agency Tass said a delegation from the Russian Orthodox Church, led by Metropolitan Novgorod Nikodim, would be sent to Istanbul to attend the burial ceremony. Metropolitan Meliton of Chalcedon, who presided at the synod meeting, is a possible successor to Athenagoras.

The election by the synod will take place in the next 15 days, said Metropolitan Kalli-nikos, spokesman of the patriarchate. The holy synod has 15 members, all metropolitan archbishops living in Turkey. The election will be the first since 1946 when Benjamin, Athenagoras predecessor, died. Meliton is the principal candidate to succeed Athenagoras. He is well-known, a staunch supporter of church reunion and the revivification of Orthodoxy from within, and can be classed as a progressive.

Aged 59, he was born in Istanbul and educated at Hal-ki Seminary here. In 1950 Athenagoras made him archbishop of Imroz; a Turkish-held but Greek-populated island in the In 1964 he was moved to Istanbul jand in 1967 given the key diocese of Chalcedon, which carries with it the presidency of the synod. Meliton has support in the synod, but some observers say the Turkish government does not view his candidacy kindly. He is too active a leader and too well-known abroad for the liking of the Turkish government, they say. Turkey is 99 per cent Moslem, and Turks are traditionally suspicious of the patriarchates prestige and independence.

Another possible choice is Maximus of Sardes, dean of the prestigious Halki College and a supporter of Meliton. He was closely associated with the reunion movement.

TO 5 P.M. DETROIT (AP) General Motors Corp. announced yesterday it is asking the U.S.' Price Commission for authority to increase prices for 1973 models an average of $90 on its cars and trucks. GM said in effect, however, it would be back asking another increase next Jan. 1 adding that current commission guidelines would have permitted it to ask an immediate $200 per vehicle boost, GM said the $90 jump is the equivalent of about 2.4 per cent.

Chrysler Corp. earlier this week asked the commission for an average boost, of $180 per vehicle in its sticker prices. Chrysler said its increase would approximate 5 per cent. American Motors first automaker to request an increase for 1973 prices, asked what it estimated was $78 per car to cover new government-required safety and emission control hardware, plus an additional general 2.5 per cent. Ford Motor Co.

has not indicated whether it will seek an increase, but industry sources generally anticipate it will and speculate it may have been holding off until it saw GMs proposal. 1 WELL MAJOR TV'S BUY THE PAIR AND SAVE!
