(AP) Bobby Fischer charged Friday that tournament organizers seemed to and provoke deliberately but an appeals committee rejected his request to play the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassxy The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear staying in his hotel suite because he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall Thus Spassky who won the first game was 2-0 in the 24-game series He needs 10 more points to retain the title A victory counts one point and a draw half a point Fischer agreed to go ahead with the match if the cameras were removed although the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125000 purse for the two players GUDMUNDUR Thorarinsson president of the Icelandic federation said that if the match was stopped by disqualification the organizers would not pay the share This meant that Fischer could lose both his chances at the title and a great sum of money As the loser he would be entitled to $46875 from the chess federation $45000 from a purse of about $120000 offered by British financier James Slater and $27500 from television and movie rights In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid the chief referee the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but could have been farther from the He previously had told Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras the knowledge that they were there made him nervous In his letter however he asserted: bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy rude and deceitful The only thing invisible silent and out of sight was the fairness of the part of the organizers HAVE never compromised on anything affecting playing conditions of the game itself which is my art and my profession seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and kowtowed to that camera crew am keen to play this match and I hope game two will be scheduled for Sunday July 16 at five in the Fischer declared that when all the camera equipment had been removed will be at the A four-man committee voted 3-1 to reject request for a replay said Gudmunder Arnlaughsson of Iceland assistant referee who served on the committee agreed to support he said of us felt that it could not be done otherwise There was one against" OPPOSING was Fred Cramer an official of the US Chess Federation and an associate of Fischer The other members were Baldur Moller an Icelandic Chess Federation official and Nikolai Krogius a Spassky aide Yefim Geller second and Viktor Ivonin from the Soviet Sports Committee urged strict application of the tournament rules These provide that the clock must be started if a player appear on time for a game After an hour the game is forfeited if he appear The Russians said a match can be postponed only for a written medical excuse and no excuse had been given Fischer delivered a copy of his protest to hotel after handing it to Schmid He stuck the sealed envelope in pigeonhole The Russian got it as he was eating breakfast in the hotel dining room Spassky read it and said about everything except Spassky commented that he was disappointed and planned to go fishing for two days and not think about chess ty Catholics no longer will acept government' by the Protestant majority

Cites Poverty-Level Wage In Overturning Ruling By PETER LISAGOR Mitml Herald-Chicayo Daily New! Wire Sen George Stanley McGovern has taken over a reconstructed Democratic Party The South Dakota insurgent accepted the 1972 presidential nomination early Friday morning pledging to the senseless bombing of Indochina on Inaugural and reaching out to apprehensive and resentful Democrats who had been overwhelmed with exuberant disdain by his reform-minded supporters But he yielded little or not at all on the policy ideas that have disturbed so many of the party regulars in a speech that went directly on the attack against President economic and Vietnam war policies HIS CHOICE of Sen Thomas Eagleton a border-state Catholic as his vice-presidential running mate excited few among his followers and placated fewer among the disgruntled southerners and big-city leaders of the North But it did lead to a postmidnight game in which delegates cast isolated votes for Mayor Richard Daley Ralph Nader Yippie leader Jerry Rubin the Rev Daniel Berrigan and a score of nonentities The discipline of the convention went to pieces in its last hours and McGovern was brought to the podium at 2:35 am hardly considered prime television time by even his most ardent supporter The candidate was introduced by Sen Edward Kennedy the man he wanted as a running mate and Kennedy brought the convention to its feet perhaps with memories of what might have been clapping in unison for several minutes In a rousing stem-winder Kennedy recited from the political works of Woodrow Wilson Franklin Roosevelt Harry Truman his brother John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson and said George McGovern would match their more glorious moments And then came the ritual of losers smiling through clenched teeth while joining the victor clasping his hand overhead First Hubert Humphrey then Edmund Muskie Henry Jackson Shirley Chisholm and Terry Sanford COMMENTING on the hours consumed in the vice-presidential selection process McGovern recalled the GOP convention that picked Spiro Agnew four years ago and said: learned that it pays to take a little more His acceptance speech was an amalgam of populist doctrine scriptural injunction literary allusions and Woody folksy sentiments He praised each of his rivals by name and hailed the of Gov George Wallace Votes for Wallace in the campaign he said the depth of discontent in this WITHOUT mentioning his big-labor foes by name McGovern also acted to mollify them by saying that the single domestic of his administration would be to ensure that every able-bodied American would have job to He said he would discuss tax reform in the campaign despite what he called the Nixon preference for waiting until after the election when behind closed committee doors powerful friends and their paid lobbyists can turn every effort at reform into a new loophole for the rich and It was a speech that AFL-CIO President George Meany a devoted foe could have delivered McGOVERN who started his remarkable campaign as a bitter war foe got his biggest applause when he said that he had secret plan for peace I have a public plan one whose heart has ached for 10 years over the agony of Vietnam I will halt the senseless bombing of Indochina on Inauguration He pledged that within 90 days of his inauguration all American soldiers and prisoners be out of the jungle and out of their cells and back in America where they HE CALLED for a turning- away from preoccupation overseas to rebuild ing our own but said that must never become a second-rate nation" If he becomes president he said America keep its defense alert and fully sufficient to meet any Before appearance Eagleton came before the convention pledging to the dignity of the vice presidency" and not to use it as a platform for dividing the country He mention Agnew by name but the delegates knew his target have not lost our he said we have lost is the leadership to show us the THE FINAL session of the convention opened buzzing with surprise pleasure and indifference over choice of Eagleton A small army of forlorn stragglers hopeful to the end pushed and elbowed through the aisles with placards in support of former Massachusetts Gov Endicott Peabody and Alaska Sen Mike Gravel who took seriously the advance notice that this was to be the most open convention in history and decided to run for vice president THOUGH it was supposed to be a night free of tension celebrating the appearance of the nominee to make his acceptance speech and to anoint his choice of a running mate the tireless reformers were not ready to relax They insisted upon a roll-call vote on a new charter for the party which many veteran party figures opposed because its effect was to deprive them further of power and influence in the state and national organizations Naturally the reformers swept the vote as easily as they swept the convention but not until an interminable delay while New York caucused and other states recast their votes CHAIRMAN Lawrence a sentimental man brought on House Speaker Carl Albert for a brief speech redolent of the past are two reasons why we must win the the dimunitive Albert said is George McGovern The other is Richard Albert implored the delegates go back and raise him a great And then made his farewell address as a top party official He told the convention: have shown the capacity to level with ourselves and to level with the American TO RUN the gamut of openness Gloria Steinem the darling of the feminists nominated Mrs Frances (Cissy) Farenthold the Texas legislator who ran a surprisingly strong race for governor of Texas in the Democratic primary By the time businessman Stanley Arnold was nominated for vice president the delegates were restless bored weary and inattentive and some even among the must have had a flickering thought about whether conventions should be all that open WHEN it was announced at 12:20 am Friday that the nominating speeches were ended the delegates managed an incredulous cheer Then came a lengthy roll-call ballot on the nominations in which many more names Archie Bunker CBS newsman Roger Mudd and a Joe Smith of Scotts-bluff Neb received a smattering of votes The process was highlighted by the decision of the Alabama delegation to cast all its 37 votes for Sen Eagleton Its spokesman Fred Folsom told the convention that Wallace would have wanted to name his own vice-presidential candidate and that Alabama would extend the courtesy to McGovern THE ALABAMA vote which took only a brief time to deliver contrasted sharply with the ballots of the other states For their action the Alabamians received a round of applause from the hall The final round of applause came after the voting and the speeches ended At 327 pm the 36th Democratic National Convytion was gaveled to an day The blast turned a shop in the
