NOT VISIBLE, AUDIBLE Rule 21 allows the taking of pictures during the match by official photographers as long as the cameras are neither visible nor audible. The camera Fischer objected to was officially sanctioned.

With a maximum of 23 more games to be played, Robert Byrne, the second-ranking U.S. grandmaster, said Fischers loss Isnt necessarily all that significant. Either of these players can come back and win. 11 MORE POINTS A victory yields one point, a draw half a point, and after Wednesdays match Spassky needed 11 more points in the 24-game series to retain his title. Fischer needs I2V2 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 plays the white pieces, which gives him the first move and a slight advantage. The first game in the match began Tuesday, and Spassky adiourned it after 40 moves with Fischer in bad straits. Five minutes after the game resumed late Wednesday afternoon, Fischer stood up, spoke animatedly to Schmid and strode to a backstage dressing room. Schmid followed him, and Fischer said he wouldnt continue play unless a movie camera 150 feet from the board was shut, off.

Schmid said he couldnt order the camera removed. Fischer stayed away for 30 minutes, then came back and resumed play. RESIGNS After Spasskys 56th move Fischer resigned. He reached over and stopped the clock after 63 minutes had elapsed, offered Spassky his hand, folded his scorecard and walked out. He paused once to wave to the audience, which was applaud ing 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: Im 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 his king and five pawns, two of them loose on the kings side. One of Spasskys pawns threatened a Fischer pawn. CAPTURES 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. After1 his walkout, he made his king.

In ensuing play all an ineffectual sidestep with the pawns on the kings side were lost. Fischer shifted his king in a hopeless struggle to the other side of the board, where two of his pawns and twoo Spasskys blocked each others passage. Fischer couldnt unblock because Spasskys bishop could protect his position from long range. Finally, after Spasskys 56th move his king approached the jam on the queens side Fischer gave up. he said it will be at least a year until the Paddock Inn is serving dinners again.

Right now its still damp under the floor, Blaebaum explained, and we havent had anybody out here to inspect the building yet. I dont know whether theyre going to make me tear it down or let me rebuild from the shell. For the moment, Blaebaum, his wife and their dalmatian dog are living at the home of Rev. Willard S. Rabert, pastor of Grace United Church of Christ on New Holland Pike, and traveling the short distance to the inn every day to continue' to clean up the rubble.

Were hoping to get a trailer on our property next week, Blaebaum said, but were glad to be living up here now. Although they are not members of the Grace UCC Church, Rev. Rabert had dined at the inn, and extended an invitation to the wanted to collect, he added. Eden Fire Company has washed most of the muck and dried mud out of the inn, and Blaebaum and his volunteers have torn down several sections of the building damaged by the flood, stacking cement blocks and other materials that may be re-usable in neat piles. i ASKS SBA LOAN Rather than worry about his apartment, Blaebaum is concentrating on reestablishing his restaurant as quickly as possible.

Not having flood insurance, he has apphed for assistance from the Small Business Administration, but he expressed fears that bureaucracy would delay his loan. At any rate, Blaebaum insists, Theres no use doing anything about the private damage until we get the downstairs fixed up. Blaebaum is not certain at this point to what extent the original section of the inn suffered structural damage, and Teacher Attends Freedoms Course CHESS EXPERT REPORTS I Fischer Blunder Cleared Way for Spassky's Win AUXILIARY, SERVICES, BOOKS Shapp Signs Bills for Nonpublic School Aid ALVIN HILDEBRAND Spassky would free his one remaining pawn and in a few moves advance it to queen, Whenever Fischers pawn moved up, the long-ranging bishop was there to hold it. ALTERNATIVE COURSE The alternative course for Fischer was to retreat his king to QBI or thereabouts to defend his remaining pawns. Curiously, enough, this would have led to a draw if Spasskys pawn had been on R5 instead of R4.

In that case, all the pawns on the queen side would have been blocked and immobile. Fischers king could never have been driven off, with a constant danger of stalemate. This is an little-known position, in which White cannot force a win, despite the fact that he has position. Fortunately for Spassky, the one square between the pawns can be utilized. In the game, had Fischer chosen the retreat indicated, Spassky would stalemate the black king, forcing the pawn to move.

He would then release the stalemate with his bishop and move to capture the pawn. With his second pawn free, Spassky would win routinely. By ISAAC KASHDAN LOS ANGELES (AP) -When Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky resumed play in the second session of their First match game, it was clear to the experts that Spassky should win. Fischer continued the game Wednesday for an additional 15 moves, then resigned. He might have carried on for a few more moves, or resigned earlier.

There was no longer any hope for a draw. FISCHER ERROR Spasskys task was not particularly difficult. He had gained a bishop late in the first session due to an error by Fischer. Fischer had two pawns as compensation for the bishop, but they were separated and weak. The pawns soon fell as a result of Spasskys good coordination of his king and bishop.

There were then two courses open to Fischer. Unfortunately for the American, there was no real hope with either one. The one he chose was to attack Spasskys rook pawn. Spassky had no objection, going after Fischers queen-side pawns as the quickest winning method. AP Wlrephoto Melvin Martin Fisher, 49, of Norman, is escorted by a U.S.

One passenger, John Clark of Dallas, said no metal detector 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. The National Airlines plane ran out of gas shortly after it landed in Philadelphia and then lost its electrical power, killing the air conditioning. People are very, very sick, a stewardess radioed the control tower.

Youve got to do something, people are sick and dying. The hijackers ordered an escape plane and then demanded it be maneuvered tail to tail with the hijacked aircraft, but airport personnel said it couldnt be done because of other planes sitting on the runway.

Ive got a sawed-off shotgun at my throat and the stewardess has one at her throat in the rear of the plane. Reform Guides Fractional Votes Jumble Convention MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(Ap) The 1972 Democratic National Convention thus far has had the strangest assortment of fractional votes in political history. In most cases, they resulted from the Credentials Committees efforts to carry out party reform guidelines requiring more representation for women, blacks and young people. Compromises worked out for a number of states re-suited in the addition of delegates. The original delegates were left in the slates with reduced votes. Small states, with fewer than 20 votes, were allowed to send up to 20 delegates.

in Wyoming, this resulted in 11. 20ths of a vote for each dele-gate. When the roll calls started Monday, the tabulators reduced the fractions to decimals so they could be added more easily. PHILADELPHIA (AP) While police, FBI agents, newsmen and relatives of passengers aboard a hijacked airliner stood a tense vigil at Philadelphia International Airport this morning, a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer monitored bits of conversation between the Nation al Airlines 727 and the airport control tower. Here is what the reporter, Wendell Rawls, recorded.

FROM CO-PILOT 12: lS a.m. co-pilot Norman Reagan: Gentlemen, where is the airplane and the ransom and the parachute? "The situation cannot last much longer. There is no way of stopping it. People are passing out. Somebody is going to get killed if this keeps up.

This is the co-pilot speaking. Weve got a real problem here. We want a fueled 727 immediately. At this point, Rawls reported. a voice broke in and said.

Take your finger off the button. 'VERY, VERY SICK' 12:30 a.m. A stewardess, gasping for breath, said: People are very, very sick Youve got to do something Youve got to get that plane here. People are sick and dying. The plane had shut down its power supply as the hijackers waited for an escape plane and ransom money.

Airport officials said the temperature inside the darkened unair-conditioned cabin climbed to 120 degrees. The tower replied to the stewardess: An air conditioning truck is at the plane now. It will take four men to hook it up. Will you allow a doctor to come out and board the aircraft? Stewardess: Where is the plane. Youve got to get it here.

'WHAT ABOUT Tower: The plane is on its way. What about the doctor? Stewardess: Air- conditioning, affirmative. Doctor, negative. 12:50 am. The stewardess again: For God sake, turn out the lights.

The plane was bathed in floodlights. People are dropping like flies. Nobody is getting out of here so please turn off the lights. People are sick all over. They are dying.

The police turned off two spotlights trained on the aircraft. Shortly before 6 a.m. the two armed hijackers released the 113 passengers they had held hostage. There were no immediate reports of serious injury. campus area and keeping the street on the city plan is limiting plans.

City planners have refused to recommend removal of the paper street because of increasing traffic volumes on Franklin Street and the Franklin-New Holland Avenue intersection. Planners claim if the street is removed and future traffic volumes cant be handled by Franklin Street, there will be no alternate street to open to help handle the traffic. STUDY MADE Jack Canan, chief city planner, today, however, warned the commission that a professional traffic study had been made of Franklin Street traffic. Canan pointed out that the traffic consultant predicted Franklin Street could handle any increase in traffic there for the next 20 years. Dr.

Glass continued to argue that school officials feel the real problem at stake here is education, not traffic, so the paper street should go. Commissioners promised the educator they will take the problem to city council and attempt to find an alternate route. The city planning commission announced today it will take action to find an alternate route in order to remove a section of Broad Street running through the McCaskey High School campus from the city map. The street exists on the city map only. Citv planners announced the decision at noon today after top level school officials implored them to remove the paper street from the city plan.

ENDANGER STUDENTS Dr. Don S. Glass, superin-t of the Lancaster School District, said if the section of Broad Street running behind McCaskey High School were ever opened, the lives of school children would be in jeopardy from traffic. For several years, the paper street has stood as a threat to school district expansion in the Franklin Street-New Holland Avenue area. The section of Broad ex- tends to rear of McCaskey from Lehigh Avenue to New Holland.

LIMITS PLANS Dr. Glass admonished the commission that the school district has a $30 million investment in education in the MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGoverns army of volunteers gave him more than convention victory Wednesday night. They gave him a cook and a pot roast.

The home-cooked pot roast was McGoverns idea. When she caught McGovern in the kitchen boiling water for instant coffee, she ordered a coffee pot and took over those chores also.
