While the candidates relaxed, forces of George McGovern asked Judge George L. Hart Jr. to restore the more than 150 delegates stripped from the South Dakota senator by the Democratic Credentials Com- mittee. Hart declined to act, saying the question of whether the state's winner-take-all primary was fair and equitable is a matter to be decided by the party convention, not by the courts. He said the judiciary should intervene in party con- flicts only when they involve a clear constitutional principle.

President Smith, 95, 10th spir- itual leader to Mofmons whose faith was founded by Prophet Joseph Smith, died Sunday of a heart attack while visiting a daughter here. A rigid fundamentalist Mor- mon, President Smith suc- ceeded David 0. McKay 2Vi years ago as head of the church. Church leaders announced Monday that President Smith's body would lie in state Wednes- day and Thursday morning in the church office rotunda.

The funeral, to which religious lead- ers from throughout the coun- try have been invited, is to be at 12:15 p.m. Church officials are expected to announce Friday that Elder Harold B. Lee, 73, first coun- selor to Smith, will be named church president. "Throughout the church and among all the honest in heart who knew him, there is sadness in the passing of President Jo- seph Fielding Smith," said El- der Lee in a statement. Elder Lee said there were few in the church who had a greater knowledge of its doc- trines than President Smith.

"His numerous writings and sermons spanning over more than half a century are treasur- es of truth which will be found in the libraries of millions who have been and may now be searching for truth," said Elder Lee. President Smith's a closed history a chapter in. which of Mormon the church family solidarity. He preached against any form ot birth con- trol and urged Mormons to fos- ter large families. He often boasted of never having tasted liquor, coffee or tea.

The 10th president was a member of the Twelve, which Mormons believe is the modern inheritor of Jesus Christ's 12 apostles, for 60 years before he was selected president in January 1970. He was considered a direct link to God by Mormons who believe their church was start- ed by Jesus Christ, removed "It's something we've estab- jlished for the two conventions," says Myra Shuman of the Beach Tourist Development Au- thority, an arm of the city gov- ernment.
