The Ulster Defense Association (UDA) said the decision by the IRA's Provisional wing to remove three of the 40 barricades that close off the Roman Catholic Bogside and Creggan districts of Londonderry was "too little and too late." "The removal of a mere three barriers in no way affects our plans," a spokesman siad. "We shall only be sa-tisfied when the security forces are back in control of the Bogside and Creggan." However, a UDA spokesman told a BBC interviewer that "essential services" would be allowed to continue in the IRA strongholds. He gave no details, but it appeared the Protestants had reconsidered their original plan to try to cut off food, electricity and water from the Catholic areas. It was believed the UDA would begin putting up its tonight. William Whitelaw, Britain's head man in Northern Ireland, has said they would not be tolerated.

"The success of our air strikes in the North and on the battlefield, the success in turning this battle around, hastens the day when the South Vietnamese will be able to undertake the total activity themselves," the President said.

And here again he is saying that only a position of strength will yield further agreements, for eventual savings on arms. For good, but calculated measure, he said further that only strength would reassure American allies and dependents, like Israel. The necessity and the capacity of a president to be pre-eminently the president while running for office against less exalted politicians can have similar advantages in domestic affairs. CREDIT AND BLAME As Nixon indicated, he can stress the responsibility of office against the irresponsibility of Congress in their debate about how much to raise Social Security benefits.

He can claim credit for economic recovery while blaming unemployment and inflation on his predecessors. He can accept credit for a popular turn in the philosophy of the Supreme Court while still making headlines with his distinctive views on capital punishment or school busing. He can heap praise on Vice President Spiro Agnew while holding a powerful Democrat like John Connally close to the bosom of his administration.

We can talk and talk and talk in Paris." McGovern's war-ending formula is to halt U. S.

Nixon said the United States "will return to the negotiating table on the assumption that the North Vietnamese are prepared to negotiate in a serious and constructive way. We will be prepared to negoti-i ate in that way." RED REACTION In Paris, representatives of Hanoi and the Viet Cong said the United States, has been forced by them and public opinion to return to the conference table. In first reaction to Nixon's announcement the United States would resume the suspended peace conference, both delegations refrained from saying outright they would agree. The tone of their official statements, however, indicated they would put no roadblocks in the way of resuming the 3'2-year- old conference that the United States broke off May 4 on grounds the Communists were refusing to negotiate seriously.

He reaffirmed a May 8 offer to withdraw all Americans within four months in return for a supervised Indochina cease-fire and the return of American prisoners plus an accounting for those missing. EXCELLENT PROPOSAL Terming this an excellent proposal, he added, as he has before: "The only thing that we have hot done is to do what the Communists have 1 1 'Jt I 4. ti I asked and that is to impose a Communist government on the people of South Vietnam orrainof tVioit nrill To do: so, he said, would: "reward aggression," invite future encroachments and "dishonor the United States of America." At another point, Nixon. again claimed success for his Vietnamization program while declining to say exactly when Saigon forces might be able toy operate effectively without U.S. supporting air power, "We expect, perhaps, some more North Vietnamese offensive," he said, "but I believe McGovern said Agnew's comments should not be taken seriously, and the senator added: "He's the President's hatchetman." On President Nixon's announcement the Paris peace talks would be resumed, McGovern said he didn't believe a return to the bargaining table alone would end the war.

"But going back to Paris will accomplish nothing if the bombing continues," he said. "I don't think much will happen. I think it's a political game." The California vote seemed certain to solidify McGovern's committee supporters behind a challenge to Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates he controls on rules prohibited the state's 10 pro-McGovern members from participating, but the convention rules state that only persons whose places are challenged are barred. The McGovern backers will contend that the approximately 120 McGovern delegates who would serve, re-gardless of the outcome, should be allowed to vote; the Humphrey forces may challenge that contention. In the committee debate, party regulars backing Humphrey contended that the McGovern forces were ignoring the reform rules written by a commission launched by the South Dakota senator.

The Humphrey forces were accused of twisting that panel's proposals. The reform commission specifically permitted winner- this year, now $216.10, would go to $259.70. The amendment would finance the increase both by boosts in the present tax base, the amount of annual earnings on which taxes are paid each by the employe and worker, and the rates. UPPED BASE The present base of $9,000 would go to $10,800 in 1973 and $12,000 starting in 1974. The rate, now S.2 per cent, would be raised to 5.5 per cent next year.

These changes could boost the maximum tax, for a person earning at least $10,800, to $594 next year and, for a person earning $12,000 to $660 in 1974. The maximum tax this year is $468. However, Church emphasized that persons earning $9,000 or less actually would pay smaller taxes in the next 25 years under his amendment than under present law. The reason is that under present law the base stays at $9,000 permanently but the rates climb faster than those in the Church provision. For example, under the law now, the rate next year for the employer and employe will be 5.65 per cent a3 compared with 5.5 per cent under the' Church amendment.

Church and Mills said that higher rates were not needed because long-range new financing assumptions have now been accepted for Social Security by the Congress, the Nixon administration, and the Advisory Council to the Social Security Administration. grounds they were selected lroproperiy ana under-f taKe-all primaries in recom-represent women, youth and-mendations adopted as party "blacks."

The immediate impact of the California vote was to trim McGovern's first-place delegate total and increase his difficulty in wooing uncommitted delegates. But Gary Hart, the senator's campaign manager, told a news conference the defeat was a "temporary hurdle we will overcome by Miami." Frank Mankiewicz, his national political director, said the matter may be taken to court. A new Associated Press tally, taking into account the co i 1 1 vote, put McGovern's first-ballot strength now at 1,226.9, or 282.1 votes away from the needed 1,509. McGovern's own tally dropped to 1,333.75, or 175.25 short of a majority. A crucial question when the California case comes to the floor will be whether any of the state's delegates can vote.

He called the result of the credentials committee vote "shabby back-room dealing." He called it "the rottenest political steal I've ever seen in my political life." Humphrey could afford to smile, with assists from Wallace and Muskie. However, McGovern soon came to his senses. His remark that he "wouldn't have any part in a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby back-room dealing" was later modified. He admitted that his out-burst "doesn't reflect what I want to say in this matter." It isn't so much a matter of saying as of doing. And doine Continued from Page One) tomorrow and next week.

It had planned to quit by tonight for two weeks over the Fourth of July holiday and Democratic National Convention. The adoption of the Church amendment represented a Senate decision to lift the general Social Security increase out of the big Social Security-Welfare bill which passed the House last year and which has been pending more than 12 months in the Senate Finance Committee. Church said it appeared the bitter controversy over welfare reform in the bill might never be settled so that it was necessary for Congress to go ahead on the across-the-board Social Security hike. The House in passing the big bill, voted for a 5 per cent Security increase il But since that time Rep. Wilbur D.

Shevin said at a news conference in Miami yesterday that if the high court ruling applies to all Florida's death row inmates, most of them would be eligible for immediate review by the parole board. "As a practical matter, I don nave any real concern that the parole board is going to issue a rash of paroles for death row inmates," Shevin said. But he pointed out that defendants convicted in cur rent cases before Oct. 1 would not be covered under the law. Prisoners now on death row might challenge the law on the grounds of unequal since it applies only to them, and not those convicted later, Shevin said.

Civil rights lawyer Elizabeth Du Fresne, who with Tobias Simon represents about half the death row inmates, said in Miami that a suit challenging the new law as unconstitutional will be filed unless Gov. Askew grants clemency to the prisoners making them eligible for immediate parole. She said she has wired Askew urging him to grant clemency. Shevin said "It might be much cleaner and simpler if the Legislature passes an overall law affecting all persons convicted of capital crimes." However, he said his staff would study the high court decision carefully before issuing any recommendation. He said the ruling may outlaw the death penalty only in certain cases, permitting its use in others.

I Jacksonville, Duval County State Attorney Don Nichols, who said he was "very disappointed" by the Supreme Court decision, called on the governor to convene a special legislative session "to consider reinstating the death penalty in certain circumstances as provided by the court's decision." Nichols said he referred to murder of policemen, firemen, prison guards and similar crimes. State Rep. Gwen Cherry, who sponsored a bill in the 1972 legislative session seeking to outlaw the death penalty, said in Miami she, too, wants a special session. She said the Legislature should repeal the law specifying life terms without parole, calling the measure "horrible and retaliatory." war-no-peace in the Middle East, in such a way as to affect its new relations with the United States.

Let me not say it was a point of agreement among them." NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, Continued from Page One) liners, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, portended further acrimonious debate at the Miami Beach convention opening July 10. The full convention will vote on accepting or rejecting Credentials Committee decisions. In his initial burst of anger, McGovern called the committee decision "the rottenest political steal I've ever seen in my political career" and blamed Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, his nearest rival and chief beneficiary of the ruling, for engineering it. "I couldn't possibly support a convention that would sustain this kind of shabby backroom dealing," he declared. "I wouldn't have any part of any convention nominee who would support this." But he tempered the assertion later when he told a news conference in Atlantic City, N.J., that his initial outburst "doesn't reflect what I want to say about this matter." "I don't want to make any threats," he said, and added that, "if the Democratic nominee is nominated according to the rules in a way I think is fair, I'll support him." The California decision upset McGovern's chances for a first-ballot nomination and gave new hope to his rivals. Humphrey, calling the decision "only fair," said his own chances "have markedly improved" and criticized McGovern's reaction. "Anyone who would bolt or rush off in a huff has, may I say, very little regard for the convention and its procedures," he said.

Sen. Edmund S. Muksie's campaign manager said his man is "back in the race, very strong." Most Muskie supporters on the committee backed the challenge, though Muskie, himself, declared neutrality. The challenge, filed by supporters of Humphrey and other candidates who ran behind McGovern in the June 6 primary, contended that the winner-take-all California law violated the spirit of party reforms, although the rules specifically permitted such a policy this year. In today's television inter-view, McGovern said he would go to the convention with either enough delegates for a first ballot victory, or enough delegates to assure a second ballot nomination.

McGovern repeatedly voiced confidence that the national convention would overturn the Credentials Committee's decision. "I know that decision yesterday will not be allowed to stand by any fair-minded person," he said. The senator called the com-mittte's action "probably the dying gasp of a bunch of desperate old politicians." McGovern said he would not accept a vice presidential nomination. He was asked if he was still friends with Humphrey, the rival for the nomination McGovern blamed for engineering the committee's action. "I haven't seen him for a few days," McGovern said, and then added, "I think our friendship will survive." McGovern also responded to Vice President Spiro T.

Ag-new's criticism of the South Dakota senator's position on marijuana, abortion and tax reform. contended in challenging the winner-take-all provision that he was arguing in "the spirit of the McGovern rules." Arguing in behalf of the McGovern position, attorney Joseph L. Rauh Jr. said the "question is whether the rules of the game can be changed after the game has been played." 1 The resolution adopted by the credentials panel said that proportional representation "is an integral part of the reform mandate" of the 1968 convention. The actual new allocations of California votes depend on official vote totals.

A few hours after the Credentials Committee action, Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown Jr. released these official totals: McGovern 43.46 per cent, Humphrey 38.55 per cent, Gov. George Wallace 7.58 per cent, Rep. Shirley Chisholm 4.41 per cent, Muskie 2.04 per cent- Mayor Samuel Yorty 1.42 per cent, former Sen.

The assault on Quang Tri, however, took its toll on neighboring Thua Thien Province to the south, home of the old imperial capital of Hue, 400 miles north of Saigon. The South Vietnamese their numbers sapped by the Quang Tri push gave up an artillery base 12 miles southwest of Hue to the Communists. Field reports said artillery base Checkmate was abandoned after a heavy North Vietnamese attack during the night. Other bases stand between Checkmate and Hue, notably Bastogne.

Military sources said the loss of Checkmate bore out Allied commanders' concern that in advancing on Quang Tri, the South Vietnamese may be stripping the western defenses of Hue, 32 miles south of Quang Tri city, to a dangerous degree.

In this fight he will doubtlessly use the very methods he so harsly indicted. Arm-twisting, back-room dealing, everything in the political book.
