Circulation Certified by ABC Audit THE PAMPA DAILY NEWS THURSDAY, JULY 6,1972 (16 Pages Today) U.S, Chess Star Makes Apology To Match Rival REYKJAVIK, Iceland (APi Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, and organizers of the world chess championship match said the two would meet for iheir first game Sunday night. The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move. The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote. The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position.

The temperamental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe. president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in the United States." Wallace To Attend Convention SPRING, Md. (AP) George C. Wallace, partially paralyzed but still seeking the presidency, ends a 53-day hospital stay Friday and flies to the Democratic National Convention where he will disclose his plans for the future.

say the Alabama governor will make an important political announcement on his arrival in Miami Beach. But before that announcement, Wallace will stop briefly in Montgomery, Ala. Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley has been acting governor since June 4.

Wallace was shot while campaigning in Laurel. on May 15. Wallace has been fitted with leg braces and a 32-inch-high walking bar so he can swing his legs along without the aid of another person. He lifts 50-pound weights daily and is doing scores of pushups from his wheelchair with the aid of therapy bars. He has lost weight but does not appear gaunt.

However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation that he forfeit the first match because of his lardy arrival. He said this "would place me at a tremendous handicap" and he didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded. Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger is "living in another world." He said Spassky. the Russian world title holder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game.

Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future. The 24-game series between Fischer and Spassky had been scheduled to start Sunday. Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day.

but the Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put the start off until today. Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of the match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game. The American's apology, read by a spokesman at a news conference, said: "We are sorry the world championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom 1 respect as a man and admire as a player." Later Yefim Geller.

the Soviet grandmaster acting as' Spassky's second, told another news conference the Russians wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame himself for violating the federation's rules. Euwe came forward and condemned Fischer, conceded he himself had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked if the Russians were satisfied. Geller said they wanted it all in writing. Euwe took a pen from his pocket and said, "1 can write it now." and began drafting a letter. Geller then said the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game to Spassky by forfeit, but Euwe said he did not consider the request official.

Then Euwe put forward his idea of another postponement. High Court Asked To Settle Issue On California Delegates Convention Predicted MIAMI BEACH. and demonstrators alike predicted next week's Democratic National Convention should be more peaceful as a result of the City Council's decision to let protest groups camp in a public park. Within an hour Wednesday after the council reversed earlier ban on campsites, more than 100 young people moved into the 36-acre Flamingo Park five blocks from where the Democrats will nominate their presidential candidate. The young people began to set up tents and roll out sleeping bags while some took their first showers in days at park facilities.

"We believe that with a controlled site we will be better able to control law and order." Police Chief Rocky Pomerance said. He said the park is fenced to help provide crowd control, has a hedge on one side to give an "aesthetic screen" to the residential neighborhood and has lights at night for security. "This eases the situation considerably. Now we can concentrate on mapping our demonstration strategy." said Zippie leader Eddie Harper. More than 200 young people representing diverse groups from Vietnam Veterans Against the War to Gay Activists danced, shouted and waved banners to proclaim their victory following the council's 42 vote to provide a campsite in Flamingo The action reversed a 52 vote two weeks ago in which the council refused to grant the camping area.

The issue was reinstated at the insistence of Mayor Chuck Hall, who said the welfare and safety of Miami Beach's 87.000 residents and convention visitors could depend on a favorable vote. Specifically, Flamingo Park was alloted to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to act as an "umbrella group" for other protest groups.

WASHINGTON (AP) Opposing Democratic forces today asked Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to convene a rare special session of the Supreme Court in a political-legal tangle. The decision carries with it Sen. George McGovern's renewed hopes for a first-ballot presidential nomination. The Democratic party hierarchy and forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley both are fighting a U.S. appeals court ruling but for (different reasons. The party hierarchy asked Burger to suspend the effect of the appeals court ruling, which Wednesday overrode the party Credentials Committee to allow McGovern to recover 151 California convention delegates. The Daley forces are seeking just the opposite effect, contending thai federal courts should intervene in order to seat Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates ousted by the Credentials Committee. There was no indication when the chief justice might act.

The Court of Appeals re- DIPLOMATS BELIEVE Red China, Russia May Press North Vietnamese To End War LONDON (APi Western have been speculating on chances-that Russia and may separately be urging North Vietnam toward a peace settlement ever since President Nikolai V. Podgorny visited Hanoi and Henry A. Kissinger visited Peking last month. But these officials representing countries with missions in Moscow, Peking and Hanoi, reported today they have seen absolutely no evidence to suggest that the Russians or Chinese in fact are exercising any effective pressures on North Vietnam. In the one sector where Mos- cow and Peking could reinforce any advice in favor of a settle- the supply of arms and other military has been no sign of a cutoff of aid.

And these Western authorities said they doubt very much if the competing Russians and Chinese would expose them- Two Hijackers, Passenger Die In Gun Battle On Pirated Jet SAN FRANCISCO (APi. "We wanted to stop the hijacking and stop it we did." said the FBI special agent in charge, describing how authorities stormed a pirated aircraft and killed two hijackers in a gun batlle while passengers were still aboard. Officials said shots fired by one of the hijackers killed a passenger and wounded two Gates Urges Early Approval Of Budget Bill is time for members of the Texas House to forget their petty grievances, to quit dragging their feet, and write an appropriations bill for the people of Texas," Rep. Phil Gates declared Wednesday, The Pampa legislator continued, saying. "Every extra day we stay down here costs the people of Texas that much more money." The special session, the third since the regular session closed, dragged into its fourth week, with but one matter before for the fiscal year 1973.

"We can write an effective bill that will not cost the taxpayers through any new taxes, but we must not sit down here and bicker over personal matters. We are here to serve the people of Texas not ourselves," Gates added. "The people of Texas, particularly in rural areas and small towns, are overloaded with city, state, and national taxes, and I plan to do everything I can to assure that the tax burden is not increased." The need for a special session was created when the lame duck governor Preston Smith, vetoed the second half of a two-year appropriations bill last year. The legislature is trying to trim almost $109 million off of that budget. The proposed bill totals $4.1 billion others after federal agents charged aboard an interstate Pacific Southwest Airline Boeing 737 taken over by two hijackers for six hours Wednesday.

"Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded," said Robert Gebhardt. FBI special agent in charge. He made the comment before learning that one of the passengers had died. "But." he said in response to a reporter's question, "somebody had to make a decision." Three FBI men who had sneaked up under the fuselage of the plane rushed aboard after the hijackers refused to release 81 passengers. Gebhardt said.

The slain hijackers had demanded two parachutes, $800,000 and passage to Siberia shortly after taking the plane over in the air. officials said. Gebhardl said the FBI men moved in on the plane only after the hijackers refused to release the passengers until the ransom was handed over. "1 saw two FBI men enter the plane," said Dr. Manuel Alvarez, 58, of Sacramento.

passenger. "The first came through with his hands on his head, and the second came up shooting, blasting away with a shotgun." The hijacker "crumpled to the floor." said Alvarez. The FBI said the gunman had an automatic in each hand but did not open fire. In the rear of the plane, the other hijacker had another automatic and fired at least three shots, the FBI said. The second hijacker went down almost immediately from FBI gunfire, Gebhardt said, and like the other was dead on arrival at the hospital.

The hijackers also held the plane's five crew members. It was the first time the FBI had charged aboard a loaded passenger airliner to put an end to a hijacking. Wednesday's hijacking occurred at 10:10 a.m., shortly after the plane left the airport in Sacramento on a flight to Los Angeles via San Francisco. It landed at San Francisco International Airport, then took off. circled the city and landed again.

The gunmen killed Wednesday were identified from cards in their pockets as Dimitr Alexieff, 28. of Hayward. and Michael Azmanoff, 28, of San Francisco. The passenger dead on arrival at Peninsula Hospital in nearby Burlingame was E. H.

U.S, Navy Jets Strike Red Quang Tri Defense SAIGON (AP) U.S. Navy fighter-bombers pounded North Vietnamese bunkers south of Quang Tri City today, trying to blast open a path for a task force of South Vietnamese paratroopers advancing on the enemy-held provincial capital Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld reported from the northern front that the carrier planes bombed a line of bunkers about 24 miles from the center of Quang Tri City. The bunker were concealed in a row of homes shaded by trees and flanking Highway' Two companies of North Vietnamese troops, perhaps 200 or more men, wore reported entrenched in the bunkers and firing on the paratroopers despite the air attacks.

Other paratroopers penetrated the city limits Tuesday but took up defensive positions on the southern edge. Reliable sources said Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Truong. commander of the 20.000-man counteroffensive, is moving cautiously in hopes of keeping his casualties to a minimum.

selves to charges of betraying Hanoi by seeming to turn on them so soon before the resumption of the Paris peace talks next week. Spokesmen for the Soviet and Chinese embassies here declined formal comment on a report that their governments have been pressing Hanoi to end the war soon. Speaking privately, one Russian official said any authoritative statement relating to Soviet policy on Vietnam would not be made in London but in Moscow. A source close to the Chinese embassy said: "No member of the Chinese mission could conceivably discuss Peking's dealings with Hanoi in this way." During his mission to Moscow, President Nixon devoted hours of his time to discussing with Soviet leaders ways of ending the Vietnam war. It became everyone's secret that he sought Soviet help toward that goal.

In the wake of Nixon's visit. President Podgorny journeyed to Hanoi where, Western diplomats said, he got a lukewarm reception. Western authorities still are unsure if this was due to Hanoi's resentment against the Russians for permitting the summit talks to take place at a time when U.S. bombing was going on and U.S. mining of North Vietnamese ports was taking place.

That could have been a factor. Another factor could have been Hanoi's hostility to the advice Podgorny was offering. Federal Fight Against Heroin Satisfactory WASHINGTON (APi-The federal government reports encouraging progress in its efforts to combat heroin traffic in 33 U.S. cities. Ally.

Gen. Richard Kleindienst said Wednesday that 900 suspected heroin pushers have been arrested in recent weeks, 90 per cent in a 10- day period ending Tuesday In addition, agents have seized sizeable quantities of heroin and other drugs, as well as cash and weapons. He said special grand juries have been empaneled in the 33 cities and 600 witnesses and suspects have been subpoenaed to testify. Ambrose added that an important aspect of the program is to keep heroin out of the hands of potential addicts, "the thousands who will experiment with it if it is available." stored to McGovern the full 271- vote California reversing the committee's vote to take more than half the number from him and apportion them to other primary candidates, chiefly Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey. The court suspended the effect of its rulings until 2 p.m. today to give the high court time to act if it wishes. The Supreme Court has held only three special sessions in its history. "We feel this case is as compelling and more compelling" than those which prompted the other sessions, said Democratic National Committee counsel Joseph A.

Califano in Miami Beach. "The courts should not get involved in selecting delegates." McGovern forces announced Wednesday afternoon that the appeals-court action gave their candidate more than the 1.509 delegate votes needed for nomination. The Associated Press delegate count, which does not list officially uncommitted delegates who are leaning toward a candidate, showed McGovern with 1.436.65 voles. But Humphrey was in no mood to concede. He noted that the Supreme Court had not yet spoken, and argued further that the party itself would be the ultimate judge.

Humphrey conceded that it would be "quite a hassle" if the convention ignores the court, but said he felt it has the right to do so. The appeals court based its intervention on the conclusion that the parly had ignored its own rules to the point where constitutional guarantees due process were violated. California law awarded all the delegates to Ihe winner. The 2-1 decision overturned a U.S. District Court which ruled Monday that the judiciary has no jurisdiction in partisan processes unless a clear- constitutional priinciple is involved.

The lower court found no constitutional question in that case. In the Illinois case, the appeals court was unanimous in finding that the party could reject Illinois delegates on grounds the selection did not conform to party rules. The 59 uncommitted Illinois delegates, led by Daley, were challenged on grounds they were chosen in a closed slate- making process and that they underrepresented women, minorities and young people. McGovern Proposal Attacked WASHINGTON (APi Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird said today Sen.

George McGovern's proposal lo slash defense spending by $30 billion "would signal to the world a drastic decline in America's will and ability to contribute to international stability." Leading the Nixon administration attack against the Democratic presidential nomination front-runner on the eve of the Miami Beach convention. Laird again characterized McGovern's defense program as "tantamount to a white flag of surrender." "The so-called white flag budget substitutes a philosophy of give-away now, beg later, for a philosophy of strength and willingness to negotiate" as followed by the Nixon administration. Laird said at a news conference in which he released two documents containing the Pentagon's analysis of McGovern's proposals. The Defense chief first referred to McGovern's plan as represenling Ihe white flag of surrender in a June 5 appearance before Sen. William Proxmire's foreign operations subcommittee and in response to Proxmire's request agreed to present a detailed analysis backing up his charge..
