PAGE NINE Time running out for Bob Fischer By IAN WESTERGREN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) Bobby Fischer's time runs out at 8 a.m. EDT Tuesday. Fischer, the 29-year-old Brooklyn chess genius, must turn up in Reykjavik by then or lose the right to challenge Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky for the world championship, a match that has generated wider interest than any chess game in history. Fischer, apparently bargaining for more money, was hiding out in New York while the great debate of "will he show up or won't he?" raged. The 24-game series was to started Sunday.

But when Fischer didn't show the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), Dr. Max Euwe, announced that he was postponing the deadline until noon Tuesday (8 a.m. EDT). If Fischer does not appear for the drawing of lots scheduled for that time, he will be disqualified and lose his right to challenge the 35-year-old Russian for the world chess title. An Icelandic friend of Fischer, Freystrinn Thorberberg-sson, flew to New York Sunday to try to persuade the American grand master to return with him.

He said be was acting as "a friend of Bobby Fischer" and said only "I know where to find him." He refused to answer other questions. Fischer, who has kept the Icelandic organizers nervously rushing to Keflavik international airport to meet every flight from New York for a week, simply did not show up Sunday. Officially there was no explanation. He has not been in touch with the Icelandic Chess Federation or FIDE since he sent a cable through the U.S. Chess Federation some time back saying he would show up for the match "under protest" Four times since then, Fischer has canceled bookings on flights to Iceland.

The Icelandic federation, which stands to lose much money, if the match does not come off, pleaded for Fischer Sunday and convinced Euwe to postpone the start of the match 48 hours to give Fischer a last chance. "But I am not very hopeful," said Euwe, the last non-Russian to hold the world title from 1935 to 1937. He is Dutch. The decision came after several rounds of closed negotiations involving Spassky, Euwe, the Icelandic organizers and Americans representing Fischer but not authorized by him to negotiate. Spassky appeared undisturbed by the crisis surrounding his first defense of the title he won in 1969 from fellow countryman Tigran Petrosian.

He was calm and relaxed in Sunday's negotiations and his seconds said he was in fine spirits. The total prize money of $125,000 more than ten times bigger than any before in the history of chess will be split with five-eights to the winner and the rest to the loser. On top of this the two players are guaranteed 30 per cent of net incomes on televisions and film rights. But Fischer wants more. He has asked the Icelandic organizers for a 30 per cent share of the gate receipts something which in the words of Icelandic Chess Federation president Gudmundur Thorarinsson would spell "economic disaster" for the tiny federation in a nation of only 200,000 inhabitants.

A colorful native of Arkansas, Mrs. Mitchell, 53, rapidly became a public figure when her husband joined Nixon's cabinet in 1969. She spoke out on many issues, and the telephone became her trademark. She was just another cabinet wife one day early in 1969 when she looked out the window of her Watergate apartment and saw antiwar demonstrators.

In a television interview, she said the demonstrators looked like "Russian revolutionaries," and she quoted her husband to back up her views. A little later she made a 2 a.m. telephone call to the Arkansas Gazette to blast Sen. J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

She said she gets nervous before a speech or a public appearance, but not while she is speaking. Why does she want to be first lady? "Because it would mean my husband is President.

Members of the Continenta' "Sure, that's what I wanted," she said when asked how she viewed the resignation. But she spoke in a low voice, did not talk long, and hung up the telephone abruptly. "I'm still a political prisoner," she said. "I can't talk long. I am calling surreptitiously." She said she was at the Watergate Apartments, where the Mitchells maintain their Washington home.

She wondered during the course of the conversation why no one had certain of "I'm just running in support of my husband," she said as she settled down in a sofa in her Japanese-style home in a fashionable part of Washington.

Centre St. Ashland DIAL 875-9932 By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI) -Martha Mitchell rejoices that her husband has gotten out of full-time politics, but she still says she is a "political prisoner." Mrs. Mitchell made another call to this reporter Sunday and gave her reaction to the announcement of her husband, John N. Mitchell, Saturday that he was leaving his job as chairman of the committee to re-elect President Nixon.

She's By HELEN THOMAS (UPI)-Elea-nor McGovern said today that she is certain Sen. Edward M. Kennedy will throw his support behind her husband, Sen. George S. McGovern for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"He has done everything short of a formal endorsement," said Mrs. McGovern. She said Kennedy also says "every member" of the Kennedy family is behind McGovern. In an interview, Mrs. McGovern came through as a leader in a new breed of politician's wives and potential first ladies.

She speaks out on candidates and the issues, and she strikes out on the campaign trail alone. She doesn't mind saying that she is "disappointed" in Sen. Hubert Humphrey, for his role in helping to split the 271-member California delegation. "I think it's a reprehensible thing," she said. "My husband won the election fair and square, according to the rules of the state.

It was really unfortunate. I think the beneficiary of it can only be one person that's Richard Nixon." Barely five feet tall, the blue-eyed Mrs. McGovern, 50, is fighting a losing battle to get her weight back up to 100 pounds. But she displays stamina and determination in her commitment to her husband's political future. Doodle-Bug ParlroA Koute 225, Trevorton OPEN MONDAY AND 4, 1:00 P.M.

v5 O'Brien said "there's no rush" on reaching a decision and indicated it would not be made before late in the week. He also mentioned that there are "possible other alternatives," but did not specify. Last week, the convention Credentials Committee voted 73-65 that McGovern could not hold all of California's 271 delegate votes, even though he had won the winner-take-all primary June 6. The committee ruled that the delegates must be apportioned among all the candidates, based on the percentage of the popular vote. The committee's action stripped McGovern of 151 votes and left him with 120.

Sims, chief highway engineer. The suits contend these six were responsible for the design, maintenance and repair of Route 22.

They allege that, because the defendants failed to design, maintain and repair the road properly, "the bus was caused to leave the road, crash and overturn," causing injuries to the youngsters. This conduct by the defendants was "willful, wanton and reckless," the suits claim. With the same wording, two of the suits against the commonwealth place the same blame on the state itself. The suits by Schafer are in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

delegation. O'Brien's ruling, whatever it may be, is almost sure to provoke an appeal and set off the first significant vote of the convention, pitting McGovern's delegates against those now banded together in an effort to deny the South Dakota senator's nomination. The vote would mark the first expression by hundreds of uncommitted delegates and give a strong indication whether McGovern has enough support among them to win the nomination on the first or second ballot. O'Brien said Sunday no decision has been reached, although the national committee's counsel, Joseph Califa-no, said Friday he has ruled that McGovern's 120 can cast their ballots. $2 million Four damage suits for $2 million each have been filed in federal court, Philadelphia as the result of a bus accident on Route 22 at New Smithville on July 15, 1970.

The suits were instituted by Paul Schaefer, of New York, two in behalf of his daughter, Jill and two in behalf of his daughter Lisa, both of whom were injured in the crash. Seven school children died in the crash and 57 were injured. For each daughter, Schafer has filed individual suits for $1 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
