Chicago's Daley loses convention seat, vows fight WASHINGTON (AP) cago Mayor Richard J. Daley, boss of the biggest Democratic organization in the country, has been shorn of his convention seat in a move that left the party teetering on the edge of discord.

The convention's Credentials Committee, firmly controlled by supporters of Sen. George McGovern, voted 71 to 61 Friday night to deny seats to Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates. The committee voted instead to seat a rival slate of 41 delegates pledged to McGovern and Lander sheriff testifies in drug case The marijuana smuggling trial of four persons ended its first week Friday with defense attorneys questioning Lander County Sheriff George Schwin over a conflict between his testimony and that of key prosecution witness Robert Fletcher. The prosecution, whose case is taking longer than expected, will continue presenting witnesses Wednesday after a four Fourth of July recess. Schwin was questioned by defense attorneys Harry Claiborne and Oscar Goodman about the search of a truck in which the federal government claims 664 pounds of marijuana was found.

The truck which Fletcher said was his, was found about two miles from a wrecked plane, which the government contends crashed on lake bed near Battle Mountain as i it was delivering the marijuana. Fletcher, 24, of Reno, said he locked the truck's camper with a padlock after it became mired in mud. He said he covered the bags containing marijuana with a sleeping bag, then left the truck. Schwin testified he did not see a lock on the camper door and that a sleeping bag was found with loose bricks of marijuana in it near the truck. He said a piece of carpet had been placed near the truck, apparently in an attempt to help get it out of the mud.

Fletcher said he tried to jack the truck up, but did not mention the carpet. Fletcher said he worked on the mud with a shovel, then put it back inside the truck. The sheriff said the shovel was outside the truck. Fletcher testified he was hired by one of the four defendants, Brad Simon Babich, 24, of Las Vegas, to pick up the marijuana Aug. 4 and deliver it to Santa Rosa, Calif.

On trial with Babich are his wife, Harriett Spann Babich, 24 John Spann, 27, of Las Vegas; and James Johnson, 46, of South Lake Tahoe, and Lopez Island, Wash. They are charged with conspiracy to import marijuana; importing marijuana; and sessing marijuona with intent to distribute. Fletcher faces the same charges, but is to be tried separately. The other men charged in the case are not yet in custody. These are Michael Judge of Reno and Albert Eggen of South Lake Tahoe.

The vote was the second explosive challenge decided by the committee, triggering extreme emotional responses and setting the stage for a discordant convention floor fight. But, after the Daley vote, a leader of the insurgents called for a healing compromise.

(AP) The chairman of Sigma Delta Chi's national Freedom of Information Committee says a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that reporters must answer grand jury questions or face contempt charges will "complicate the journalist's work in seeking access to the news."

As in other activities, suspicion surrounds any government function which is kept from public light. The reason for the secrecy may, in fact, not be so compelling as the need for ultimate disclosure." sional journalistic society's committee, said Friday Sigma Delta Chi was "disappointed at the tenor of the majority opinion and apprehensive as to its possible effects." Fogel said that while detailed comment would have to await analysis of the decision, Sigma Delta Chi tended to agree with a portion of Justice Potter Stewart's dissent which said: "The court's crabbed view of the First Amendment reflects a disturbing insensitivity to the critical role of the independent press in our society." The court's ruling Thursday in the case of three newsmen was that the First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of the press did not grant special munity from having to disclose material reporters obtained from confidential sources. "There are two particular aspects of the subpoena problem which complicate the journalist's work in seeking access to the news," Fogel said in a statement. "One is the fact that the aggregate impact of many subpoenas can have both a psychological and a real physical deterrent effect on ability to gather the news. It can dry up sources and keep a newsman away from his work.

CLIP THIS COUPON rubble that sealed off Protestant areas. Some violence shattered the few days of peace enjoyed by the province since the Catholic based Irish Republican Army declared a truce last Monday. One man was killed and two wounded early today in shooting incidents in Belfast.

A youth was wounded at Lurgan, 20 miles away. There were other incidents eisewiere but no major outbreak of violence. The body of a man who had been hooded, gagged and shot was also found in midmorning on the fringe of Belfast's Woodvale area, itself surrounded by barricades. It was Northern Ireland's 392nd casualty in three years of communal strife. The Protestant barricades sprang up overnight in protest against Catholic barricaded areas in Londonderry, despite appeals by British authorities to avoid action that might precipitate civil war.

At least seven Protestant areas of Belfast were sealed off by militants of the Ulster Defense Association. Armed with wooded tatons, and policed by men wearing special arm bands, the militants checked the credentials of all persons attempting to enter or leave their enclaves. The Catholics pulled down three barricades Friday in Londonderry as a gesture, but most remained up today. Dr. Jack C.
