Red Champ Gets Delay Fischer, Spassky To Vie Thursday For Chess Title REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) The world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky now is scheduled to start Thursday afternoon following another postponement, this one demanded by the Soviet champion. After holding out for more money and getting it, the American challenger came to Iceland for the postponed opening match Tuesday.

But Spassky walked out of the noon drawing to decide who would move first because Fischer was not present. He had sent his second, a Roman Catholic priest. Officials announced a new 48- hour postponement of the opener. originally scheduled for last Sunday. They hoped both players would be ready to meet on Thursday.

Fischer arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment hanker doubled the $125.000 purse which he and Spassky will divide. The 29-year-old American grandmaster was resting from the overnight flight in a guarded villa at the edge of town when Spassky counterattacked in the holdout department. The 35-year-old Soviet champion read a prepared statement calling the conduct insulting and intolerable. It said Fischer, by refusing to appear at the opening ceremony last weekend, had insulted Spassky personally and the Soviet Chess Federation and had jeopardized his right to play for the title.

The statement demanded that Fischer be punished. However, Max Euwe, president of the international federation, said the Soviets had not (Turn to CHESS, Page 10) Carry-Out Markets will be open daily till 12 midnight Sun. nights till 11 p.m.—Ad.

Fireman Hurt Battling Blase Damage was set today at $125.000 in a major fire which swept the Wesco Industries plant in Wellsville Tuesday night, sending flames more than 100 feet into the air at times and destroying the building. A Wellsville volunteer fireman was injured when falling debris struck his shoulder. Fire Chief Robert Lewis said the two story brick building was gutted by the blaze which started in a central section and spread rapidly to engulf whole structure.

Some 35 men from three area fire departments used five pieces of equipment to battle the fire for more than four hours before the first department left the scene. Chief Lewis said the cause of the blaze is under investigation, but it may take some time to determine due to the heavy damage. Wellsville firemen were at the site at 20th and Main Sts. until 8 this morning keeping smouldering debris under control. The company, owned by More- Flo Industries of Cleveland, manufactured molded sink tops, shower bases and concrete wash tubs.

Lewis said the first alarm was turned in at 11:30 p.m. by an employe at the near-by Allied Oil Co. who saw smoke in the vicinity of the building. A second call was received immediately from Robert Taggart of Chester Ave. who reported flames leaping through the roof.

An unidentified woman caller issued a similar report almost simultaneously. The central section, housing manufacturing materials and a storage area, was engulfed in flames when the Wellsville Department arrived, Lewis said. Help was immediately sought from East Liverpool, Liverpool Township West and Irondale Departments. Lewis said the flames began to spread rapidly into the west and south portions of the rambling building. Firemen were able to move equipment and files from the office area, located in the east section, before the fire spread into that area.

Fireman David Lloyd of Wellsville received second degree burns of the neck and contusions of the shoulder when struck by falling brick. He was taken to City Hospital for treatment. The East Liverpool Department sent six men to the scene with the aerial truck, and Liverpool Township West responded with eight men and a er. The Irondale Department sent six men wit! a pumper to stand-by at the station in case other fires were reported. Firemen were severely namp- ered by the lack of water pressure.

Lewis said. He said low pressure is in the southern section of the city. Gas and electric power were turned off about 1:30 a.m., according to company officials. Firemen were able to prevent a series of flammable material explosions by removing a large amount of rosin stored on the (Turn to Page 6.

A group of FBI agents and police gathered near a ramp to the plane, using a baggage cart as a barricade.

A man and woman took turns using a bullhorn to call up to Smith. The woman, identified by an FBI agent as mother, walked part way up the ramp at one point, talked with Smith, then returned. Smith and the girl were visible just inside the plane. Scores of airline passengers passed through the terminal as usual. Many seemed unaware of what was happening at the American gate.

From the upper level of the airport terminal, newsmen could see Smith holding the girl in his arms. At times he and the girl could be seen sitting in a front scat. Now and then he would carry the girl to the rear and then return to the front. Outside, on the ground, FBI agents talked to him using a bull horn. Reporters were kept away and could not hear whether he made any reply.

Earlier, he had shouted that he did not want to see newsmen, cameras, or tape recorders. All available Cheektowaga police, FBI agents and Buffalo homicide detectives rushed to the airport and surrounded the plane at Gate Seven.

He then dragged the girl along as he climbed aboard the jet.

Police said Smith was bleeding and they believed he had suffered some type of injury. It was not known immediately whether the girl was injured.
