From Page One Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player 11 "IF GRANDMASTER Spas sky or the Soviet people were inconvenienced or discomfited I am indeed unhappy for I had not the slightest intention of this occurring" Later Yefim Gelle the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second told another news conference the Russians wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame himself for violating the federation's rules He said Spassky would go home if the demands were not met Euwe came forward and condemned Fischer conceded he himself had broken the rules and added: "I apologize" ASKED IF the Russians were satisfied Geller said they wanted it all in writing Euwe took a pen from his pocket and said "I can write it now" and began drafting a letter 1 Geller then said the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game to Spassky by forfeit but Euwe said he did not consider the request official Geller said he didn't think Spassky would accept the award even if Euwe offered it but that the Russians insisted on it anyway Then Euwe put forward his Idea of another postponement But he said this would probably require dividing the match into two halves with 12 or 16 games this summer and the rest later in the year because otherwise it would conflict with the world chess Olympiad In Yugoslavia in September AWARD OF the first game to Spassky would give him a 1-0 advantage at the outset but chess experts said that In such a long match Fischer probably would overcome the disadvantage A player gets one point for winning a game and half a point for a draw Spassky needs 12 points to retain his title Fischer 125 to take it away from him The winner is to get $231250 and the loser $168750 the highest amounts ever paid in chess The original purse was 6125000 with the winner taking five-eights and the loser the remainder But Fischer's holdout brought a $125000 contribution from London banker and chess enthusiast James Slater to double the purse Each player also gets $75000 from the television and film rights (DtatdiRWS WAItENOUSE) (DlittzlimonLARD'S IS Pall SI 1 4 4-P1y Polyester Golden Falcon "78" From Page One laws we

people except the members of the Legislature" Gov Edwards said "I assume that because of their interest this overall problem those enumerated would be willing to serve but of course it isn't mandatory "I BELIEVE that each of these people within their own category will be able to render valuable service and give us effective assistance in studying the problem" the governor said "I genuinely hope that as a result of this committee and its study that we will have drafted and ready for consideration by the Legislature in special session a total package of legislative matters to deal with the problem in the hopes that within the 12-day sessions we can get it considered by the Legislature heard by committee and passed" he said "Some of it I am certain will require constitutional approval on the part of the people in November" Gov Edwards said "WE'RE STILL going to exhaust our judicial remedies" he said indicating that court appeals would be tried "But I think good government and proper planning dictate that I take this step at this time anticipating what my fears are will be the ultimate results of this litigation" The governor said he intended to limit the special session call to state taxation problems and that he did not intend to include no-fault insurance or other matters in the call "Certainly I don't want to mess up the serious business facing us in the special session

delegates more than the 1509 needed for nomination They called for peace among the bitterly quarreling Democrats saying they were "anxious to unify the party" A UPI tabulation gave McGovern 1396 firm first ballot votes if the Wednesday court decisions stand up The count showed another 55 delegates leaning toward him and 37040 uncommitted McGovern issued a mild statement saying he was "pleased" by the court decision Last week he denounced Credentials Committee action as a "dirty rotten political steal" A spokesman for Sen Hubert Humphrey McGovern's chief rival said the Humphrey camp was "confident that the final and supreme arbiter of seating of delegates and of the rules of the convention is the convention itself" THE APPEALS court held up execution of its order until 1 pm CDT today to give the parties time to seek a stay of the order from the Supreme Court Califano in a statement Issued at Miami Beach said be would recommend that the conVention abide by the lower court decision If that remains "the law of the land" Under California's winnertake-all rules McGovern picked up the state's 271 delegates by winning the June 6 primary The Credentials Committee however rturned this winner-take-all provision and decreed the delegates should be apportioned on the basis of the percentage of popular vote each candidate received CHIEF' JUDGE David Bazelon and Judge George MacKinnon ruled all the California delegates should go to McGovern They upheld McGovern's argument that it was too late to change the ground rules after the primary was over If the party had banned winner-take-all primaries before the California primary the Judges said "the candidates might have campaigned in a different manner devoting more or less time and resources to the state" But Judge Charles Fahy who dissented said the action of the committee should not be overturned merely because it operated retroactively "I ACCORDINGLY would leave the matter for resolution by the party anon to meet in convention without the court's intervening by decree to set aside the action of the committee" Fahy wrote The Chicago delegates were unseated by the Credentials Committee on grounds the selection process failed to meet party rules giving equal representation to women minorities and youths 1 1-2 C-1 -) kl 1 is I I f7t II II I "4'4611 11461 1' A It I $041411'14Vilk I I tr lit 1 I
