LP) Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey said Wednesday he plans to press his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination even if it means seeing supporters of Sen.

George H. McGovern walk out of the party's convention. He said he tends to discount threats by McGovern that he may bolt the party, and said McGovern's statements are "most unfortunate" and show a lack of political maturity. Humphrey vowed he wouldn't throw his support behind any other candidate until he became convinced he had lost any chance of winning the nomination himself. As to the court's Wednesday decision returning 151 California delegates to Senator McGovern, Humphrey suggested the convention might attempt to overrule the courts.

There were reports at City Hall Wednesday that the Cincinnati Gas and Electric Co. will apply Friday to the Ohio Public Utilities Commission for increases in gas and electric rates for Cincinnati. However, a executive said, "It's a little premature to give a definite answer to that." The reports said the request to PUCO will be much higher than the rates requested of City Council. The utility firm originally asked for electric rate Increases of $7.6 million and gas rate increases of $3.7 million, for a total of $11.3 million. The city administration recommended $4 million in electric rate Increases and $2.9 million gas rate hikes, for a total of $6.9 mUlion.

Miles Doan, senior vice president of said Wednesday, 'T think it's a little premature to give a definite answer" on the report of a request before PUCO. "City council meets again tomorrow (today), and it depends on whether they take any action," he added. On June 14, council deferred for an indefinite period action on the proposed $6.9 million increase in rates. The delay was voted over the objection of the Republican minority in coune'l. At the same time, the Charter-Democrat majority asked for the deferment to gain more time to negotiate a $1.5 million cut in costs agreement with The majority coalition wants to limit to SVSc of gross revenues the amount that can be spent for administrative functions, and to eliminate Cincinnati advertising for new customers and, further, to drop the 5 surcharge on bills not paid within 14 days of the due date.

Councilman William D. Gradison cautioned on June 14 that if council did not adopt the new rates of a $6.9 million increase (accepted by the utility firm), might apply to PUCO for rates higher than it has agreed to accept from council. Under Ohio law, If agreement with City Council is not reached, can appeal to PUCO. Gradison said this could mean the city residents might have to pay the same higher rates the firm is seeking for areas outside Cincinnati. WASHINGTON (AP) A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered 151 California delegates restored to George McGovern, prompting his forces to claim a first-ballot victory at the Democratic Convention in Miami Beach.

In the same opinion, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here upheld another party Credentials Committee decision ousting Mayor Richard Daley and 58 others as Illinois delegates to the presidential nominating session, in the same order the federal court blocked any state-court action that might affect its decision. This was another plus for the South Dakota senator since the Daley slate was uncommitted but a majority of the replacements favors McGovern. An appeal to the Supreme Court still is possible for the Democratic National Committee and the pro-Daley forces. Ricl: Stearns, McGovern's chief delegate marshal, said McGovern now has 1541.5 delegate votes, UA Goal Tops $12 Million A 1972 United Appeal campaign goal of was announced Wednesday by Paul Chris-tensen general campaign manager.

The new goal is the highest ever set by the agency, 18 higher than the $10.2 million raised last year.

The Credentials Committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates by deciding to apportion them among all candidates by the amount of votes each received in a presidential primary. The circuit court held that while the apportionment might be fairer than the winner-take-all manner in which the primary was set up, changing the rules after the game was over "was inconsist two parachutes and maps showing the route to Russia. Some of the agents had come ashore from a Coast Guard boat that maneuvered to a landing place in the bay beneath the 737 jetliner and out of sight of the two foreign-born hijackers. The passenger was killed by shots fired by the hijackers, the FBI said. The gunmen also wounded two other passengers, including veteran movie and television actor Victor Sen Yung, 56, who played in the "Charlie Chan" film series.

The FBI identified the hijackers as Dmitrov Alexev, 28, Hayward, and Michael D. Azmanoff, also 28, with no known address. Agents said they immigrated to the United States sometime in the 1950s and 1960s. Killed enough to assure a first-ballot nomination. McGOVERN has all hut abandoned his hope of enticing Sen.

The South Dakotan reportedly was advised indirectly over the Independence Day weekend that Kennedy was adamant about not wishing to run this year for vice president.

A passenger killed and two others wounded when the FBI thwarted the attempt to hijack the plane to Russia with $800,000 ransom. The first FBI agent gained entrance to the Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner by posing as a pilot, and he was followed aboard by a second agent who had been hiding beneath the plane parked at the edge of San Francisco Bay. A NUMBER of FBI agents surrounded the aircraft after it had sat on the ground for more than four hours while airline officials gathered the demanded ransom, ent with fundamental principles of due process." The majority opinion in the 2-1 California decision declared that the "Democratic Party did not merely interpret one of its rules in essence, it acted in defiance of its own rules as interpreted in the call for the 1972 convention by establishing retroactively an entirely new and unannounced standard of conduct." THE LOSERS in both cases are expected to ask Chief Justice Warren E.

Burger to call the Supreme Court, which adjourned last week, into session to hear appeals. Burger would have to summon vacationing justices for a special session of which there have been only three in history. The circuit court directed the U.S. District Court which originally heard the cases to write an order declaring the Credentials Committee action on California null and void and enjoining any further action against the McGovern delegates based on the winner-take-all issue. In the Illinois portion of the decision, a unanimous court held that the party does have the right to impose requirements on delegate selection.

The agent posing as a pilot approached the plane with the ransom, parachutes and charts for a liight to the Soviet Union. The hijackers demanded that he strip to his short to show that he was not carrying a weapon. When the men felt certain was not armed, they allowed him to redress and enter the plane, not knowing he had a small pistol in a coat pocket. The agent entered the plane and was escorted toward the rear section by Azmanoff. Meanwhile, one of three agents hiding under the plane sneaked up the ramp, through the open door and confronted Alexev, who was in the cockpit.

The FBI said Alexev, who had a pistol in each hand, raised the weapons and was shot gested a further postponement until next week for the dust to settle. Euwe said he had allowed Fischer's tardy arrival he got here Tuesday because "Fischer is quite another person. He's living in another world." Euwe said he realized titleholdcr Boris Spassky was "very upset" and would like to give him a week before the first game. Fischer's 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, lt was put off for two days because of Fischer's holdout, then delayed until Thursday by Soviet objections to the American's conduct. Skyjack Russians Now Demand Fischer Write Apology twice in the chest with shotgun blasts. The second hijacker then opened fire in the rear of the plane, striking the three passengers before he emptied his automatic. Azmanoff pulled a knife and headed toward the front of the plane while the FBI man with the shotgun rushed toward the rear. The aent fired a blast but the hijacker ducked behind a panel which absorbed the blast.

When the agent posing as a pilot approached Azmanoff, the hijacker threatened him with the knife. The agent shot him four times, twice in the head 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 inio parts to avoid conflict with the world chess Olympiad sot to begin in September at Skopje, Yugoslavia. The first apology of the day was made in Fischer's name on the demand of Spassky, who said the American's conduct had "Insulted me personally and the country I represent." Fischer said he was sorry he'd caused any trouble lor Spassky, whom he respected as a man and admired as a chess player. The Russians, unsatisfied, demanded his excuses In writing.
