Euwe said he had allowed tardy got here is quite another person. living in another Euwe said he realized Titleholder Boris Spassky was and would like to give him a week before the first game.

holdout for more money brought the takings for both winner and loser to the highest amount ever in world championship chess. The winner will get $231,250 and the loser $168,750. The 24-game series between Spassky of the Soviet Union and the 29-year-old American challenger was to have begun last Sunday. It was put off for two days because of holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the conduct. Euwe admitted Wednesday he had violated the rules in allowing delays in the starting date, and promised strict rule enforcement from now on.

He then suggested the further postponement and said the match may even have to be split into parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad set to begin in September at Skopje, Yugoslavia. The first apology of the day was made in name on the demand of Spassky, who said the conduct had me personally and the country I Fischer said he was sorry caused any trouble for Spassky, whom he respected as a man and admired as a chess player. The Russians, unsatisfied, demanded his excuses in writing. In addition to written apologies, the Soviets wanted Euwe to condemn the conduct and accept blame for violating Fide rules. This happened at a news conference called by Yefim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as second.

Speaking for the absent world champion, Geller said Spassky would return home if the demands were not met. Chaban-Delmas Firing PARIS (AP) President I Georges Pompidou fired Jacques Chaban-Delmas, his premier for three years, after a' series of scandals rocked the unity of the GauUist party. With legislative elections due before next march, Pompidou then on Wednesday appointed hard-line Gaullist Pierre Messmer, 56, to form a new government likely to include many of the leading figures of the outgoing administration. Its composition is expected to be announced Thursday or Friday. Messmer, minister for overseas territories under Chaban- Delmas, served for nine years as defense minister for President Charles de Gaulle under premiership.

Like Chaban-Delmas, one of the first to rally to De Free France movement in 1940, Messmer was a founder of a pressure group designed to press its view of Gaullist orthodoxy after the general resigned in 1969. Chaban-Delmas, whose dynamic war effort made him a brigadier-general at the age of 29, became premier when Pompidou succeeded De Gaulle as president. His more liberal interpretation of Gaullism and calls for a led to early clashes with the orthodox wing of the party. But the real pressure on his post came in the last few months. A series of financial scandals exploded involving Gaullist deputies or close associates.

Chaban-Delmas, 57, went on television nationwide to explain how perfectly legal tax loopholes enabled him to pay only minimal income tax for several years. The grumbling at Chaban- Delmas was heightened when investigations by upper and lower house commissions revealed an extensive payola racket in the state-run television network. Chaban-Delmas, who had declared his confidence in its senior officers, quickly named new directors.

The instructions from the Arm y-administcred Military Traffic Management Terminal Service (MTMTS) applied to the head taxes that went into effect July 1 at five airports, but was the only one through which large volumes of military traffic are funneled regularly. The Philadelphia tax was also the most a person, levied not only on departing passengers but on arriving passengers as well.

Taxes of $1 on each departing passenger went into effect also last Saturday at Richmond, Huntsville, Sarasota- Bradenton, and Saginaw, Mich. Four states and more than a dozen cities are considering similar taxes. Thousands of passengers refused to pay the charges, and instead filled out refusal forms that presumably woull result in subsequent civil action to collect. MTMTS sent out notices to its transportation officers around the world listing the cities where head taxes are going into effect. The agency said each individual traveling on a regularly scheduled service, whether singly or in a group, would be personally responsible for payment of any head tax.

It instructed traffic officers to route military passengers whenever possible through airports that do not impose a head tax. A major effect of the order was on traffic into and out of Ft. Dix, N.J., Military personnel normally travelling by way of Philadelphia will use Newark, N.J., airport instead, when practical. Charter groups also were preparing to bypass the special-tax airports. Provide Camping Space In Miami MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) The Miami Beach City Council reversed itself and voted 4 to 2 to provide camping space for demonstrators arriving for the Democratic National Convention. The council allotted the 36- acre Flamingo Park to Southern Christian Leadership Conference to act as an for other protest groups. Some 200 young demonstrators cheered enthusiastically when the vote was taken after a daylong hearing. A softball diamond is the main feature at the park, located five blocks from the Convention Hall where the nomination proceedings begin next week. Two weeks ago, the council voted 5 to 2 not to provide a campsite.

The question was reopened at the insistence of Mayor Chuck Hall, who favored providing an area for the demonstrators to prevent possible disturbances. Specifically, Flamingo Park was allotted to the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, head of SCLC, to set up a poor Resurrection City after the shanty town set up during a Washington, D.C., demonstration in May 1970. Abernathy told the council earlier that he expected about 500 SCLC demonstrators in Miami Beach for the convention to demonstrate for the rights of poor people. With him, he said, will be representatives of the National Welfare Rights Organization and the National Tenants Association.

Abernathy promised that his people would be nonviolent, that their food would be cooked off the premLses and that there would be no fires at Flamingo Park, which is in the center of a residential area. The council made the one member absent-after it was strongly recommended by City Manager Clifford and two police Beach Police Chief Rocky Pomerance and Ted Zanders, a deputy police chief in Washington, D.C. Zanders and Pomerance reported a security evaluation of all possible areas indicated Flamingo Park was the best available site. Humphrey Discounts McGovern Statement WAVERLY, Minn. (AP) Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey said Wednesday be plana to press his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination even if it means seeing supporters of Sen. George S. McGovern walk out of the convention. He said he tends to discount threats by McGovern that he may bolt the party, and said statements are show a lack of political maturity.

Humphrey, who trails far behind McGovern in delegate strength, vowed he throw his support behind any other candidate until at least a fourth or fiftii ballot, or at least until he became convinced he had lost any chance of winning the nomination himself. Earlier in the day, Humphrey suffered a severe setback in his bid for the nomination when a federal appeals court ordered 151 California of whom had been ticketed for to McGovern. But Humphrey rai.sed the possibility that the convention might attempt to overrule the courts, saying: my judgment that the convention is the judge of its own He acknowledged there would be a if the perne Court allowed the appeals court ruling to stand and the convention ignored it. Humphrey was interviewed on the lawn of his lakeside home in this rural community, where he is resting before flying to the Miami convention Friday. He was if he discounts the possibility of making good on his threat to run independently if the nomination is denied him through what he considers unfair inean.s.

After saying 11 mark our seats the group walked down to the floor and sat in the first four rows directly in front of the stand. Five minutes later they left. But before the protesters left, Abernathy looked around the empty auditorium and said: at the thousands of seats, and we are only asking for room for He said he arrived at the figure because one-quarter of the people in America are poor and there are 3,000 delegates in the convention.
