Burger to convene a rare special session of the Supreme Court in a political-legal tangle that carries with it Sen. George McGovern's renewed hopes for a first ballot presidential nomination. The Democratic party hierarchy and forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley are both fighting a U.S. appeals court ruling but for different reasons.

THE PARTY hierarchy asked Burger to suspend the effect of the appeals court ruling, which overrode the party Credentials Committee and permitted McGovern to 151 California convention delegates. The party brief claimed that the appeals court has "thrown the country into a constitutional crisis" by dabbling in the selection of delegates to the political convention. Party lawyer John Kester told newsmen after the filing with the high court that the appeals bench went further than any other court has ever gone in the political arena. The Supreme Court, Kester said, is being asked, "to restore the judiciary to its proper place." Kester pledged that the party hierarchy would obey the final decisions of the court, whatever they might be. The Daley forces are seeking just the opposite effect, contending that federal courts should intervene in order to seat Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates ousted by the Credentials Committee.

Now that reformists have leaned on the federal judiciary to settle one of the Democratic party's severest internal disputes, it will be fun to watch their announced effort to reconvert it into a dues-paying, private political organization. The court order which may hand the presidential nomination to George McGovern with all California's delegates, and Mayor Daley's too, seems incompatible with the plan to complete the reform movement started by McGovern. Time was that our American political parties privately, outside both state and federal law, put forth their candidates in regulated government elections. They could choose their nominees any way they pleased. Even very recently, it would have been unthinkable that any branch of government would be allowed to dictate to a party's national convention on such matters as seating of delegates, writing platforms and rules of procedure.

Indeed, the Democratic National Committee's own attorney argued in the California-Illinois delegate challenge case that the federal court ought to keep its hands out of party affairs. Why, the committee is so independent it has hired private officers to keep order at the convention and told the Nixon Department of Justice to keep certain agents out of the hall. And there still is a question of whether the whole Democratic convention assembled at Miami Beach next week has to obey the federal court ruling on seating of those delegations. (It probably will, because it seems the politic thing to do at this point, but there will be those who'll insist it isn't necessary.) This concept of the privacy of American political parties is reasonable. Why shouldn't any group of citizens, be it the Ku Klux Klan or the Black Panthers, agree to a set of principles and submit a candidate to the electorate by any method of nomination it decides to follow? Our Constitution makes no mention of political parties.

They didn't even arise until after Washington tad served his two terms. Since then, all the parties have come and gone, making their own rules and running their own internal affairs. A court order directing the Democratic National Convention to seat one group of contested delegates over another is a distinct break with the (Continued on Page 16) Chuckle There are two kinds of people those who like to get up in the morning, and the rest of us. Man On Jet Also Is Slain SAN FRANCISCO (AP) wanted to stop the hijacking and stop it we did," said the FBI special agent in charge, describing how authorities stormed a pirated aircraft and killed two hijackers in a gun battle while passengers were still aboard. Officials said shots fired by one of the hijackers killed a passenger and wounded two others after federal 'agents charged aboard an intrastate Pacific Southwest Airline Boeing 737 taken over by two hijackers for six hours Wednesday.

"Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded," said Robert Geb-hardt, FBI special agent in charge. He made the comment before learning that one of the passengers had died. "BUT," HE said in response to a reporter's question, "somebody had to make a decision." Three FBI men who had sneaked up under the fuselage of the plane rushed aboard after the hijackers refused to release 81 passengers, Geb-hardt said. The slain hijackers had demanded two parachutes, $800,000 and passage to Siberia shortly after taking the plane over in the air. The FBI men moved in on the plane only after the hijack ers refused to release the passengers unti- the ransom was handed over.

"I saw two FBI men enter the plane," said Dr. Manuel Alvarez, 58, of Sacramento, a passenger. "The first came through with his hands on his head, and the second came up shooting, blasting away with a shotgun." THE HIJACKER "crumpled to the floor," said Alvarez. The FEI said the gunman had an automatic in each hand but did not open fire. In the rear of the plane, the other hijacker had another automatic and fired at least three shots, the FBI said.

The second hijacker went down almost immediately from FBI gunfire, Gebhardt said, and like the other was dead on arrival at the hospital. The hijackers also held the plane's five crew members. In previous U.S. hijackings no attempt has been made to board a hijacked airliner while the passengers were still aboard. However, on May 9 Israeli soldiers stormed a hijacked Belgian airliner in Tel Aviv, killing two Arab guerillas, wounding one and capturing a fourth.

Three of the 95 passengers aboard were wounded and one died from a head wound eight days later.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, and organizers of the world chess championship match said the two would meet for their first game Sunday night. The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move.

The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology-" "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with (Continued on Page 16) tion, Laird again characterized McGovern's defense program as "tantamount to a white flag of surrender." "The so-called white flag budget substitutes a philosophy of give-away now, beg later, for a philosophy of strength and willingness to negotiate" as followed by the Nixon administration, Laird said at a news conference in which he released two documents containing the Pentagon's analysis of McGovern's proposals. The defense chief first referred to McGovern's plan as representing the white flag of surrender in a June 5 appearance before Sen. William Prox-mire's foreign operations subcommittee and in response to Proxmire's request agreed to present a detailed analysis backing up his charge. Laird told newsmen that he had intended to wait until after the Democratic convention but decided to go ahead after Proxmire accused him of breaking a promise to document his attacks against McGovern. than can be provided.

The peak use of electricity is between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and by leaving workers out at 4 o'clock one huge source of demand would be eliminated.

But they implied the need for some degree of flexibility that would pave the way for an end to the war.

THE DIPLOMATS said the effect of the two-pronged "intervention" by Peking and Moscow in Hanoi was shattering. Distrust of their allies' designs has now added to the disappointment of the North Vietnamese leaders with the alleged footdragging of both China and Russia in recent months over the conflict The political and war councils were said to be hard at work in Hanoi on the scope of Democratic Convention future strategy. While Peking's and Moscow's advice was said to have been contemptuously brushed aside, the message itself was, however considered too serious in its implications for Hanoi to ignore. Hanoi, according to the informants, has been deeply hit by both China's and Russia's guarded reaction to the American blockade of North Vietnamese ports. The North Vietnamese were said to have seen this as the ultimate confirmation of their growing suspicions of flagging support from their allies.

Soviet and Chinese arms were still being shipped to North Vietnam, the diplomats said, but the blockade has sharply reduced the scope Park Use (Auociaftd Pr Wirt photo) Opening War story 26 LONDON (UPI) -China and Russia independently advised Hanoi to settle with the United States without much further delay, authoritative Communist diplomats said today. Both Communist allies of Hanoi cautioned sepearately that in the light of latest developments the fortunes of war may turn against North Vietnam. The sources reported that both assured the Hanoi regime of continued firm political, moral and military support. But they made it clear at the same time in almost identical terms they cannot risk confrontation with the United States which indirectly limits the scope of their assistance.

Within an hour after the council reversed an earlier ban on campsites, more than 100 young people moved into the 36-acre Flamingo Park just five blocks from where the Democrats will nominate presidential candidate. THEY IMMEDIATELY began to set up tents and roll out sleeping bags while some took their first showers in days at park facilities.
