To break faith with the loyalists, he suggested, would be "to step backwards into the dark ages." The nnimittcc agreed unanimously. There were other accommodations made on Saturday. Agreements hammered out between rival factions in Missouri, Tennessee and Pennsylvania were endorsed overwhelmingly by the committee.

E. Alexander, a hulking black man from Louisiana, thundered, "Walking in the shadows of violence, they come here before you now to lay claim to their legitimacy."

But their presentation seemed half-hearted. Gov. Bill Waller, spokesman for the regulars, looked at the committee and shook his head.

"Many of you probably came here with your minds made up before I started to talk," Waller said. The governor was right. Moments after he finished, Patrick Foley of Golden Valley, the floor leader of the Hubert Humphrey forces, stood up and said, "Throughout this committee, I've had. my differences with some of my white friends, some of my black friends, some of Spanish-speaking friends, and even some of if ill ft I UA Ml- bc-r fee A si 4 ft NHryn I I I 11 I si'" -4 jf ft lss si A-- 1 Wallace gets 3 Michigan votes, loses 3 in Maryland state primary. The committee acted on the conviction that winner-take-all primaries are contrary to the party's reform mandate and that California's delegates should be allocated to each candidate in proportion to his popular vote in the primary.

Associatea Press Two members of the Protestant Ulster Defense Association (UDA) stood guard Sunday over a youth from the Protestant Shankhill Road district of Belfast. The youth had been beaten by the UDA and charged by them with 'breaking and entering" and also "attempted indecent assault." The youth was tied to a lamp post and forced to display a signboard listing his alleged crimes. McGovern backs O'Brien to continue in party post SEMI-ANNUAL In another development, the McGovern campaign announced yesterday that it will go to court today to seek an order preventing the committee's action from taking effect.

Two long-time allies in the labor movement were reported 1 no longer on speaking terms as result of committee struggles reflecting the presidential ambitions of Humphrey and South' Dakota Sen. George McGovern. Drastic steps had been taken: Humphrey backers had successfully moved to strip McGovern of 151 delegates lo the Miami convention. The McGovern forces then countered by forcing through a resolution to unseat Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and 58 of his allies at the convention. In the heat of debate over California, George Barrett of Tennessee accused the McGovernites of offering him a "deal" to settle a dispute in his state if he supported them on California.

Mike Johnson of Pennsylvania made a similar charge in respect to his state's challenge. But by Saturday most of the delegates had at least temporarily opted for a show of harmony. Said one: "I am saving my energy for the big show in Miami Beach." s8450 S945U SQ50 8W 50 By Finlay Lewis Staff Correspondent Washington, D.C. After a week of bitter factionalism, it was a day of reconciliation. For long hours, the Democratic Credentials Committee hot, tired and fundamentally divided over questions of politics and principle labored under the relentless glare of television lights.

Chicago, California, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, southern Illinois: Contested delegations came from all those areas and harangued the committee about the legitimacy of their credentials to the national convention in i a i Beach next week. Partisan lines within the committee hardened. Votes were closely split and small blocks of delegates, united around particular special interests, moved back and forth across the ballots to shift the balance of power. But Saturday ferent. it was dif- It was different because the issue was Mississippi.

Aaron Henry, a slightly built black man and leader of the Mississippi loyalists, sat silently in front of the committee. A longtime friend of Delta politics, noticing Henry's slumped shoulders and stop what it calls his "vindictive and divisive actions." The congressional aides didn't mention McGovern by name or the California delegate challenge spearheaded by Humphrey, but told Humphrey in a letter: "We urge that you reflect now upon the grievous damage you are doing not only to your own image as a kind and honorable man, but also in the party which you have done so much to shape and strengthen in the past." Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP, said President Nixon will be tough to beat in the November election because of "fumbling" in the Democratic party. Wilkins would not specify who in the Democratic Party was guilty of fumbling. Chess Continued from page 1A tion. Fischer's representatives here had asked for a postponement because Fischer was suffering from fatigue.

The rules require that a request for a postponement for illness must be accompanied by a certificate from a doctor chosen by the host organization. Typical of the confusion surrounding preparations for the match, the federation doctor, Ulfar Jhordar-son, left for his country house early yesterday morning. The Russian side reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision. Spassky, asked his opinion of the situation, replied: "I came to play." At a news conference during which he announced the postponement, Euwe said: "I think there will be no play at all. That is my personal opinion." In New York, Paul Marshall, a lawyer associated with Fischer's American attorney in a i said the challenger has been concerned because the match will not be televised live in the United States.

"Bobby loves Iceland but it wasn't his choice," he said "You can't have live TV coverage there. "He said over and over again that he wanted his countrymen to have an opportunity to see the match live." "A lot of people feel he's committed to greed," Marshall said. "But he's committed to his own standards of propriety and dignity." SUITS I) LORD TO Three men 'executed' in Northern Ireland Associated Press Belfast, Northern Ireland The bodies of three men were found Sunday in West Belfast. Police said they had been executed. Security authorities were unable to determine a motive for the slayings, but the Irish Republican Army (IRA) has executed men from its ranks in the past for breaking its rules.

Two of the men, aged between 35 and 40, were found by children playing on a Cliftonville cricket ground near the site of an attack on British troops earlier in the day. The IRA denied its men were involved in the attack and said it was the Work of a small group of "vigilantes" outside IRA control. The third victim was a 25-y a -o I man whose body was tossed out of a speeding car. Police identified none of the three. At first it was believed that the two men found in the cricket grounds might have been killed in the shooting fray with British troops, who claimed to have scored two hits on the 14 snipers firing at them.

The army said the attack was not considered a truce violation. A prominent Protestant militant was kidnapped yesterday while on his way back to jail, where he is serving a life sentence for slaying a Roman Catholic barman in 1966. Augustus Spence, 39, was a Protestant leader in Belfast when he was convicted. He was granted a two-day parole over the weekend to attend his daughter's wedding and to visit his sick mother. Minneapolis Var rti Tribune Oimpany Associated Press Sen.

George McGovern acted Sunday to widen his support among Democratic Party regulars by con-firming his choice of Lawrence O'Brien to remain as head of the Democratic National Committee. He also announced that he'll seek a fence-mending session this week with AFL-CIO President George Meany. But the South Dakotan, a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, would not close the door on the possibility that he will refuse to support the nominee if it is someone other than himself. What McGovern did do during an interview on the American Broadcasting Co. program, "Issues and Answers," and during an impromptu news conference afterward, was repeatedly predict that the convention next week in Miami Beach, will be run according to the party's reform rules.

He said again that he expects to win back the 151 California delegates that he lost in a Credentials Committee action last week and go on to win the nomination. McGovern has termed the committee's action "an incredible, cynical, rotten political steal." He said al the time that he "couldn't possibly support a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby, backroom dealing. I wouldn't have any part of any con-v i nominee who would support this." McGovern refused yesterday to use language quite so threatening, saying: "I would be inclined to support the nominee if he is supported by an honorable By Finlay Lewis Staff Correspondent Washington, D.C. Supporters of George Wallace won a victory here Sunday when the Demo-c a i Credentials Committee voted to replace three Michigan delegates to the national convention with three backers of the Alabama governor. But in later action yesterday challenges to Maryland's 53 delegates were resolved as the committee unanimously approved a compromise offer by Lt.

Gov. Blair Lee III. The challenges were based on claims the delegation un-derrepresented women and that Maryland's seats had not been apportioned along the guidelines ordered by the McGovern reform commission. Under the compromise, Wallace would be deprived of three delegate votes with Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and George McGovern the benefactors. In the Michigan action, the committee voted 70-59 to insure that the delegates from the state's 17th congressional district are committed to the Wallace candidacy and not to one of the Alabaman's rivals. In so doing, the committee rejected a move by backers of McGovern to leave the 17th district slate intact. In the Michigan primary election, Wallace led the presidential ticket with 45 percent of the popular vote. By law, he was thus entitled to four of the district's votes at the convention on the first two ballots.

At the same election, however, voters in the district elected a separate slate of delegates. That slate, at a later caucus, elected the national convention delegates and allotted them to the presidential candidates in accordance with the primary vote. Wallace backers brought a challenge before the committee, saying that three of the four delegates chosen by the caucus were not committed to Wallace. Yesterday, the Wallace challenge was opposed by the McGovern supporters, who contended that the delegates were elected fairly and would be bound by law to support Wallace on two ballots regardless of their personal prefcr-ance. Backing the Wallace challenge were supporters of Humphrey and a number of delegates pledged to Maine Sen.

Edmund Muskie. Otto Wendell of Michigan, a Humphrey backer, told the committee yesterday that three of the four delegates are "ringers." "If McGovern is so hungry for delegates that he's asking the people here to deny Wallace what Michigan voters gave him, we have come to a sorry state of affairs." McGovern torces in the committee have been backing a number of challenges here in an effort to gain allies for a crucial vote next Monday on seating the California delegation. McGovern will attempt to overrule an earlier committee action that stripped him of 151 California legal process according to the rules of our party. "I don't think there's going to be any third party. I never have." But McGovern would not rule out either the possibility that he will walk out or the possibility of a third-party move if the Credentials Committee action is upheld by the full convention and he loses the nomination as a result.

"He's been a good chairman," McGovern said of O'Brien. "I think he's a fair man. 1 think he's one of the ablest men in our party. He's generally accepted by all elements in our party." Meany has remained officially uncommitted ig the race for the Democratic nomination, but is considered a supporter of Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey of Minnesota or Maine Sen. Edmund S. Muskie. Asked if he would seek an accommodation with Meany, McGovern said: "I'm going to see him, if President Meany will see me I welcome and need his help." In other political developments yesterday: Richard E. a chairman of the Democratic Platform Committee, said: "The main significance of a platform is its use before it is completed, not after" in unifying different sides toward a common goal.

Speaking on the National Broadcasting Co. program "Meet the Press," Neustadt said the first major issue of the campaign is finding work for the nearly 6 million unemployed persons in the United States. He said ending the war in Southeast Asia is the second major issue and the establishment of a comprehensive form of health care is the third.
