The Committee for U.S. Chess Champion Bobby Fischer is promoting a campaign to persuade Congress to make an appropriation to our sensational 16-year star “on a continuing basis, to enable him properly to carry on his invaluable service to our country.” Interested organizations and individuals are asked to sign petitions to that effect which may be obtained from the committee by addressing it c/o University Place, New York City. A.E. Santasiere is chairman and Walter Goldwater secretary of the committee.

Following is a game from the second round of the current South Jersey Chess Association tournament in which Charles H. Miller, one of the top players of the Woodbury Chess Club, defeated Shindle, the Camden club's new champion, after a long and tense struggle.
