(AP) Sen. George McGovern recap- tured in court Wednesday the California delegate sweep he won at the polls, and said he hoped the verdict would point to a victorious Democratic campaign for the White House. The Democratic party imme- diately acted to appeal the rul- ing to the Supreme Court on grounds the party and its con- vention should decide who casts presidential nominating votes.

"The courts should not get in- volved in selecting delegates," Joseph A. Califano counsel to the Democratic National Committee, said in Miami Beach. The Court of Appeals late Wednesday ruled that its order would not take effect until 2 p.m. EOT Thursday, to permit time for the appeal. Actually, the overnight stay is only a technicality, because the Demo- crats don't open their con- vention until next Monday.

McGovern's political strate- gists said the court ruling that he is entitled to all 271 Califor- nia nominating votes would spell first-ballot nomination for the senator from South Dakota when the national convention chooses its man in one week. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., overruled the action of the Democratic Cre- dentials Committee which had voted to strip McGovern of 151 of the California delegates. May Seize City Without Bloody Battle South Vietnamese Forces Hold Edge Of Quang Tri; Enemy Shells Hue SAIGON (AJ) South Viet- namese forces held the edge of Quang Tri city Thursday and fought the North Vietnamese on their flanks. Thirty-two miles to the southeast, enemy ar- tillery loosed its heaviest bar- rage on Hue since the Com- munist-led offensive began more than three months ago.

In No Hurry Reliable sources said Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Troung, command- er of the counter- offensive into Quang Tri Prov- ince, believes he can recap ture South Vietnam's northern- most capital without a bloody battle. They said he is in no hurry- to dash into the city and engage in unnecessary street fighting and destruction. In the air war over North Vietnam, ttie U.

S. Command announced the most intense raids in weeks against three major depots within four miles of the center of Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital. More Than 100 Rounds Field reports said more than 100 rounds of mixed artillery rockets and mortars hit Hue in the predawn darkness, most striking in and around the old walled section known as the Citadel. There was no imme- diate report on casualties or damage. Spokesmen said enemy shells struck a military hospital in the Citadel on Wednesday, wound- ing 11 patients.

The walled area was the seat of Vietnam's em- perors in the last century and now is a military headquarters. Government partroopers pene- trated the Quang Tri city lim- its Tuesday, then took up defensive positions on the southeastern edge, awaiting an order to press on after their week-long, 10-mile drive up Highway 1. Sources said the enemy's strength inside Quang Tri is not known, hut the defenders are believed to be chiefly militia. Main Divisions Dispersed The North Vietnamese main force 304th and 303th divisions are believed to be dispersed generally to the west of Quang Tri, which fell to the enemy May 1. Government marines on the eastern flank of the drive into Quang Tri fought two engage- ments with North Vietnamese troops about three miles out- side the city.
