STRATFORD HOUSE OPEN TODAY cent of the $250,000 paid for the TV and movie rights to the match, or $75,000 each. The match, which could last two months, had been scheduled to start Sunday afternoon, but Fischer stayed in New York, demanding a 30 per cent cut of the gate receipts.

The International Chess Federation postponed the first game 48 hours and told Fischer he had to be in Reykjavik by or forfeit the match. He arrived about five noon, hours before the deadline. A stewardess on the plane said Fischer appeared calm during the flight of 4 hours and 50 minutes from New York but slept for only a few minutes at a time. Another passenger 0n the flight, Benjamin Rauschholb of Long Beach, angrily reported that his wife was told at the last minute she couldn't board the plane and he learned later she was bumped to make room for Fischer. "He's causing an awful lot of trouble, isn't he?" said Rauschkolb.

The Icelandic Chess Federation, after negotiating since last week with Fischer's lawyer, Andrew Davis, rejected the demand for a cut of the gate receipts. But almost simultaneously Slater came forward with his offer to put up 50,000 pounds, saying, "Fischer has said that money is the problem. Well, here it is." "I like chess and have played it for years," said Slater. "Many to see this match and everything has been arranged. If Fischer does not go to Iceland, many will be disappointed." Fischer said Slater's offer was "stupendous incredible and generous and brave," according to a representative in New York.

This spokesman, lawyer Paul Marshall, claimed Rischer's holdout had been a matter of principle: "'He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved." Marshall also said that Fischer, who abhors newsmen and runs at the sight of them, "was furious about the press censorship." The Icelandic federation has restricted move-by-move and photo coverage of the match because of its sale of TV and movie rights.

Wallace Makes Trips From Hospital SILVER SPRING, Md. (P)- Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace has recovered sufficiently from an assassination attempt on May 15 to take short trips away from Holy Cross Hospital here, Smiling and with a light tan, Wallace flashed a victory sign when he returned yesterday from a four-hour outing that included an early dinner at the nearby home of a physician, Dr. Joseph Schanno, at Bethesda, Md.

The governor traveled on Sunday night to his wife's hotel room, also nearby, where the couple had dinner. Neither trip was announced, and only when newsmen discovered Wallace's outing yesterday did they also learn of the Sunday trip, the first since Wallace was hospitalized. WALLACE WAS dressed in brown slacks and a white short sleeved shirt for his trip yesterday. He waved from the back seat of a limousine when he returned to the hospital at 6:25 p.m, with his wife, Cornelia, beside him. Still partially paralyzed from a bullet wound in the spine, Wallace was lifted by a security officer from the car to a wheelchair.

He then was wheeled to a point in front of the hospital where he posed for pictures. He smiled, waved, saluted and raised two fingers in a victory sign. Newsmen were not allowed to talk with him. He did not appear abnormally thin. His only comment was to tell newsmen "bye" before he was wheeled into the hospital.

A spokesman for the governor's campaign staff, Roy Smith, told newsmen that Wallace is "feeling very good." The governor is scheduled to leave the hospital Friday morning for the Democratic National Convention at Miami Beach. He will stop over in Alabama on the way. Why you make your own paint Leonardo?
