Iff) WASHINGTON (I) The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here today handed a victory to the forces of Sen. George McGovern in their battle with the Democratic Credentials Committee for California dele-' gates. Dad Yields OK BUFFALO, N.Y.

ill A man who held his daughter at knife point in an apparent attempt to hijack an American Airlines 707 at Buffalo Inter-national Airport surrendered to an FBI agent early today. "He apparently decided he was not going to get out of the airport," said Richard Ash, special agent in charge of the FBI office here. "If there's no shooting, I'll come out," Ash quoted the man as saying moments before he emerged from the aircraft carrying the hostage child. ASH SAID an FBI agent had sneaked aboard the plane and confronted the man. Aft-er the agent assured him there would be no shooting, the man threw down his knife and carried the girl in his arms down the ramp to a waiting police car.

The child was not harmed, Ash said, but was taken by ambulance to a Buffalo hospital for examination. Blood on the child's clothing, he said, was from a slight wound the man had sustained. Police identified the man as Charles Smith, 23, of Buffalo. The youngster was identified as Smith's 17-month old daughter, Jetuan. Smith will face a charge of attempted hijacking, the FBI said.

POLICE SAID Smith alleg-edly had stabbed the girl's mother and a man earlier to-day in Buffalo. The woman was reported "critical" and the man "fair" at Deaconess Hospital in Buffalo. Smith apparently slipped aboard the unoccupied jet about 5 a. m. and demanded the American Airlines provide a pilot for the craft, police said.

"I want a pilot," he shouted to police and FBI agents who surrounded the plane as it stood at a terminal gate.

The Circuit Court rejected the appeal of Daley's forces in one case and in two others directed that state court action be prohibited insofar as the delegates from Illinois which were rejected by the committee are concerned. THE BRIEF orders of the Appeals Court carried no reasons for the action. The judges were expected to file opinions later in the day.

The District Court ruled Monday the federal judiciary had no place in the debate over delegates from the two states. The Credentials Committee had issued decisions that stripped Sen. George S. Mc-Govern of 151 California delegates and told Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other un-committed Chicago delegates to stay home.

THE Circuit Court action came at a time when forces of nMBHHBin On Page C4: McGovern, HHH aides shot off verbal fire works. Mayor Daley had a scheduled court appearance in Illinois state court in which they sought to prevent the successful Illinois delegate challengers from taking part in the convention. However, while the full scope of the Circuit Court's ruling was not known in the absence of a written opinion, it was clear that the judges felt federal court action should be taken in the two cases. THE COMMITTEE decisions were likened to a "self-destruct button" by the party's lawyer Tuesday even as he fought to uphold them before the appeals court. Party counsel Joseph A.

Cali-ano told the three judges that Federal courts have no business in the party's business. His argument echoed the decision of a U. S- District Court which prompted the Fourth of July appeal. McGovern and Daley forces appealed jn their fight to over-t committee decisions which ousted 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley, and ripped the winner-take-all prize of the California presidential primary from McGovern to award the state's 271 delegates proportionately among candidates, based on their percentage of the vote. MEANWHILE, the Credentials Committee completed its pre-convention agenda and passed on to the convention the job of settling 13 contests over the seating of hundreds of delegates.

Minority reports, from persons who disagreed with the committee majority, have been filed from South Carolina, Georgia, Hawaii, Michi-g a Alabama, California, Connecticut and Oklahoma with two dissents from Rhode Island and three from Illinois. Many of the dissents con cern issues raised by the mandate from the reform commission originally headed by McGovern: That women, young peoples and minorities be at the convention in proportion to their population.

On the eve of the first national political convention, Beacon Journal politics writer Joe Rice talked with voters in the five-county Akron area about their views on candidates and issues. He was assisted in his interviewing by staff writer Steven Craig. This is the fourth of five reports. Busing is a red-hot issue in neighboring states such as Michigan, but it has yet to develop into one in Ohio. Only one in 50 of Greater Akron residents interviewed by the Beacon Journal listed busing as the issue that concerns them the most.

This may be primarily because in most Ohio school system there is no busing to achieve racial balance in the schools. When busing was mentioned to many people interviewed, they thought it referred to transporting rural children to school. 7 1 hundreds of small, rocky inlets and bays where cargo could be unloaded from river type boats, small landing-craft and Chinese-type junks. This is particularly true along the 150 miles of coastline from Haiphong harbor to the China border, an area' where Chinese shipping sources in Hong Kong and, Canton have speculated supplies are being landed. Haiphong is the only North Vietnamese port known to be capable of handling oceangoing freighters.

A communique from President Georges Pompidou's office gave no reason. Chaban-Delmas, a Gaullist, has recently been under fire because of tax dealings.

Chaban-Delmas, 57, became premier June 20, 1969, after the election of Pompidou as president. EARLIER this year there had been rumors Chaban-Delmas might step but in recent weeks they had died out. Chaban-Delmas, a staunch Gaullist who had joined Gen. Charles de Gaulle in World War II resistance to the Nazi occupation, had come under fire recently for taking advantage of income tax loopholes. Criticism for a series of real estate scandals and for alleged mismanagement of the state-run radio and television networks also had appeared to cloud his future.
