Supreme Court justices to learn if there is MIAMI BEACH (AP) Chanting "racist golf course gotta go," young demonstrators yesterday warmed up for the Democratic National Convention by picketing an exclusive country club. They claimed La Gorce Country Club was anti-black and anti-Jewish and demanded it be turned into a people's club, providing day care centers, free breakfasts and full social activities for poor people, blacks and Jews. But it appeared to be a one-shot demonstration for the television cameras as about 60 persons paraded around the club parking lot for 45 minutes. They did not make any direct demands on club members, but outlined them at a news conference. Involved were members of the Yippies, the National Welfare Rights Organization and the Students for a Democratic Society.

They were joined briefly by a dozen senior Jewish citizens who live in Miami Beach. Three other groups reiterated their threat to cause trouble at the convention if they are not provided 750 convention floor seats for poor people. They gave the convention committee until noon Saturday to decide. Dr. George A.

Wiley, executive director of the National Welfare Rights Organization, did not say what kind of trouble was planned "but we're going to get the seats in any way necessary. We are going to take various kinds of action. You'll know what kind of actions we'll take when they happen." Convention manager Edward Murphy offered the NWRO, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the National Tenants Association 75 gallery seats for each session. But Wiley rejected this offer for all three groups, saying he wanted his people on the floor to lobby for a platform plank providing a minimum income. The Rev.

Ralph David Abernathy, head of SCLC, made a similar demand Wednesday and declared, "If they don't give the seats to us, we're going to take them." 1 Sk (' A I iW- 1 ri )I A- -r 1A II 4 The Campaign Scene Sen.

Reubin Askew yesterday asked Kloridians living in Gainesville and points soiuh to ration their use of electricity to avert a potential power crisis this summer. Askew said power reserves in these areas are marginal and the loss of one or more major electrical generators could produce a "brownout" or "blackout" in certain sections.

Areas north of Gainesville are not affected because nothing done in these sections would aid the South Florida problem. Public Service Commission Chairman Jess Yarborough had suggested the possibility of putting the state's 90.000 employes on a 7 a to 4 p.m. workday rather than 8 a m. to 5 p.m. because the peak use period begins at 4 p.m..

but this was discounted because the bulk of employes work in Tallahassee. Measures Askew urged for all consumers south of Gainesville were: Keeping air conditioners at 80 degrees or above Suspending all nonessential uses of electricity. Curtailing use of stoves, ovens, dishwashers and testing equipment in the late afternoon and early evening hours. I'sing restraint in use of all electrical appliances during the hours from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The party contends that lower court intervention in delegate selection "very likely will place the federal judiciary in the role of convention kingmaker At the same time. Daley forces have asked vacationing justices to sit in special term to gain judicial action re-instating them as delegates. The court may sit with as lew as six of the nine justices present. The appellate court Wednesday overturned the party's Credentials Committee and ordered 151 California delegates returned to Sen. George S.

MeGovern. The committee had stripped them from the South Dakota senator when it decided to reverse the winner-take-all state primary and parcel out delegates to candidates according to the percentage of the primary vote they received. At the same time, the court upheld the committee's rights to unseat Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates after finding they violated party rules on delegate selection. In asking the high court to consider the case, the Democratic party claimed the lower court decision "has provoked a fundamental constitutional crisis which can be settled only by this court. The seating of the California delegates, the party brief said, "and very likely the presidential nomination itself will be determined, not by the political process operative at the convention but by the mandate of a lower federal court." The Democrats contended the decision threatens to cause a fundamental change in the American political system by expanding the role of the judiciary into the affairs of political parties further than ever before.

MeGovern forces opposed the party bid. saying.

Race Limitation Cut From Will ic) Washington Star WASHINGTON A U.S. District Court judge has ordered the word "white" stricken from the will of a North Carolina man who bequeathed $3 million in scholarship funds to "white boys and girls." Judge Barrington J. Parker, who is black, denied a claim to the money by the man's relatives and ruled that the will is valid without the racial restriction.

The decision last week, made public Wednesday, came in the case of John W. Turrentine, who died in 1966 and left the bulk of his estate in trust to the Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. of North Carolina. The trust was to be distributed according to the will, in "scholarships in the form of grants and loans at the consolidated University of North Carolina to white boys and girls who reside in Alamance County whose ambition and desire it is to attend said university but who would not he financially able to do so without such grant or loan." In denying the claim of eight nieces and throe nephews of Turrentine's that the will should be declared invalid and the trust revert to them.
