The Senate restored these cuts but sliced out rnothcr $247.6 and wrote a separate $150 million bill for flood relief. Republicans have said that the Senate cuts were "phony" because the money would have to be restored later in the year. Shapp admitted the Senate hill was not what he wanted, but said he agreed to support it "because of the critical nature of the situation we face" after the flood. At a time like this," ho said, "I don't think it is possible to project the needs of our departments with the degree of accuracy we have done in the past." Asked when he thought he could get the budget out of the legislature, Shapp replied: "They better pass it darn soon or the cries of anguish will be so loud they cannot ignore them," Even though the state cannot pay its bills, it is not broke. It receives about $10 million a day in revenues.

Humphrey, who were selected after the Credentials Commit-the decision, said they were not concerned about the court suit or a potential convention floor fight over seating of their slate.

Humphrey was awarded 106 of the 151 disputed delegates. Eugene Wyman, Humphrey's top fund raiser in California, said, "It's awfully late for a judge to get involved in it." He said the decision would be appealed if the district judge rules in favor of the McGovern backers. Tn a television interview yesterday, McGovern said he had not "the slightest doubt" that the full convention wo 1 reveser the Credentials Committee decision. He said the convention was gonig to be "the most open, the least bossed" in American history and he said he was convinced he was going to be the nominee. Rut whether I am the nominee or not, if the process is fair, as I fully expect it will be, I will be backing the nominee of the Democratic Party," McGovern said.

McGovern by the statement appeared to back away from his hint last week that he might holt the party if the California delegates he lost were used to deprive him of the nomination. Rut anti-McGovern Democrats were attaching significance to the fact McGovern made a similar threat to a Life Magazine reporter long before his surprising defeat on the California challenge.

Largest Above Ground Swimming VALUES FOR THE HOME SINCE WASHINGTON (LTD Attorneys for Sen. George S.

McGovern's California delegates charged in federal court today that the Democratic Credentials Committee illegally changed the rules in stripping 151 McGovern supporters of their convention seats. At a hearing before U. S. District Judge George Hart attorney Joseph P. Rauh said that before the June 6 California primary all candidates were willing to abide by the slate's winner-take-all provision.

"Now suddenly what was clear is to be changed," Rauh argued. "All of a sudden, after it was over, a challenge was filed." The committee created an explosive controversy last week by voting to apportion the 271-member California delegation on the number of votes the candidates received and on that basis ruled in favor of 151 anti-McGovern challengers. Rauh, on behalf of McGovern's California supporters, filed suit asking that the action be reversed. However, Hart commented during the court hearing: "It may not be cricket to change the rules, it may even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutional?" He also asked: "Him far are the courts going tn get into violations of party The Credentials Com i t-tee's decision to strip McGovern of 151 of his 271 California delegates could block McGovern first-ballot nomination at the convention, which starts in Miami Beach a week from today.

Fischer, who has kept the Icelandic organizers nervously rushing to Keflavik International Airport to meet every flight from New York for a week, simply did not show up yesterday. Officially there was no explanation.

He had not been in touch with the Icelandic Chess Federation or FIDE since he sent a cable through the U. S. Chess Federation some time back saying he would show up for the match "under protest." Four times since then, Fischer has canceled bookings on flights to Iceland. The Icelandic federation, which stands to lose considerable money if the match dees not come off, pleaded in Fischer's behalf yesterday and convinced Euwe to postpone the start of the match 43 hours to give Fischer a last chance. "But I am not very hopeful," said Euwe, the last to hold the world title (11735-1937.) He is Dutch.

The committee, reporting in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical As- filiation, said such a three-point system of restraint was preferable to only a safety belt across the lap because of a number of reports of belt-caused injuries.

But the committee said that despite the "real possibility'' of belt-caused injury to the pregnant woman and the fetus severe collision, the overall chances of survival and escape from serious injury are greater if she uses some sort of safety belt.
