more Information concerning the new rates call 334-3473 Fischer and his whole way of life could be influenced by whether he retains his crovm or not Spassky has not played well recently and his international rating is now lower than Fischer's Despite this he has kept his courteous cool during trying days when Bobby Fischer remained closeted in New York and his representatives here bumbled from one disaster to another Fischer may well emerge as the next world champion his public image here may even improve during the 24- game competition but in the meantime it's been rough going He and Spassky still haven't sat down to the chess board and the Ugly American image is still predominant you don't have to at for someone to sneeze to say God bless you to Fischer Four years ago a ch es world championship victory was worth very little The pot for this match is now $250000 plus 60 per cent of television and film rights But like the 01 plc games the Fischer challenge has made chess a quasi-political affair He is the first threat to Soviet domination in decades and this championship match has taken on certain aspects of the big power struggle Not that such considerations other Bobby "lie doesn't worry about such things" said Fred Cramer an executive of the American Chess Federation Fischer doesn't say anything to anyone except perhaps to Life magazine which has a financial connection to the American challenger But Cramer a retired lighting engineer from Milwaukee more than makes up for Bobby's inclined to grandiose phrase- him The Soviet Chess Feder-elegy of little substance ation opened up its big guns Speaking of the American ne- against not ordy Fischer but gotiations with the Russians also Dr Euwe a man in way he says things like "We've over his head in the current opened up areas of communi- crisis cation I never thought possi- ble" SPASSKY HIMSELF put But he doesn't say what he out a statement considerably means and the Russians more restrained than the didn't understand either Another is a lawyer named noises from Moscow It ap- Paul Marshall "Answering peared to some including Dr questions won't help anyone" Euwe that Spassky was simhe said curtly when reporters ply going through the motions tried to ask him about the of protest after getting orders talks with the Russians from Moscow All in all the Americans The Soviet champion Is add up to a great team for something of an outsider He Spassky And he needs them is not a member of the Corn-for his own people back in munist party and drives Moscow have been up to their about the streets of Moscow usual heavy-handed nonsense in a Volvo After a fortnight in which Men at the top can get he built up his nice-guy im- away with this in the Soviet age Spassky almost had it Union But

EATERS Over one billion gallons of frozen desserts are consumed in the US each year This figure includes ice cream ice milk sherbet water ice By JOE ALEX MORRIS JR Los Angeles TimesWashington Post REYKJAVIK Iceland "We like Americans here not Russians" the pretty telephone operator said "But we don't like your Mr Fischer We will be rooting for Spaasky" For many Icelanders Bobby Fischer has become the latest version of the ugly American The 29-year-old challenger for the world chess crown and his team of advisers have been collecting bad publicity ever since Fischer missed his first plane to Iceland a week ago Fischer has done it with his obstinate and to some arrogant demands for more money His helpers have done their bit with whimsy surlines and evasion In contrast the Russian Boris Spassky has been a real All-American guy He plays tennis talks to the press and drives around in a Ford Bronco a jeep-type vehicle IIE BUILT HIMSELF a sympathetic public here while Fischer sulked in New York Monday night he received an enthusiastic ovation when he attended a soccer match and sat next to the Icelandic preslaent A great deal of this is gut reaction and perhaps unfair correspondent has yet to find one Icelander sympathetic to tun "I hope he stays home" said a businessman shortly before Fischer finally made the flight over The American image was hardly improved by the case of the invisible cables There were two of them one supposedly from the A me rica Chess Federation the other from a Dr Anthony Saidy said to be a friend of Fischer's Both were allegedly sent to Fischer's unofficial representatives here and both purportedly supported demands made for a postponement of the match Neither cable arrived and to top it all Bobby said in New York that he wasn't his representatives here had gone to International Chess Federation President Dr Max Euwe pleading illness on Fischer's part in asking for a two-day delay NOTHING SEEMS to embarrass them In addition to Cramer they include three men who talk only to the International Chess Mafia here in strength of course One is a chubby priest named William Lombardy a former junior chess champion IN' THE LATEST example Cramer told the newspaper Timinn Wednesday that 80 per cent of the Icelanders want Fischer to win Nothing would appear to be further from the truth In countless conversations since Bobby's
