The court test stemmed from he decision of the Credentials i to deprive McGovern of at least 151 of the lalifomia nominating votes he captured in a winner-take-all irimary. The committee ruled that should have no more than 120, and possibly as few as 118, on Ihe basis of his plurality In the June 6 primary.

Another dispute was raised before the committee over the 22 votes McGovern swept in Rhode Island, another winner- take-all primary state.

The issue is parallel to that in the California case, and a Humprrey aide said McGovern rivals would seek to have the Rhode Island delegation, carved up in proportion to popular vote showings, too.

All along, the issue hasn't been the money, Marshall said. "It was the principle. He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they de- served. And he was furious about the press censorship. He was flying around the room," said Marshall.

Marshall was referring to the thrce-releases-pcr-game limita- tion which the Icelandic Chess Federation made for reporters covering the match. "They're trying to stop America from reading about it! That's what they've done all along," Marshall quoted Fis- cher as saying. Fischer himself has shunned newsmen because he feels the press often misrepresents him, Marshall said. "He's not a trained interview subject, and he's very frank and outspoken Plus he's in training," said Marshall. He added that Fischer has been in good spirits.

"Last night, he was jocular and relaxed," he said. Fischer fled from the airport last Thursday to avoid news- men who were waiting for him, Marshall said.
