Mrs.

Jean Westwood of West Jordan, Utah, who helped manage McGovern's campaign, was the nominee's choice for Democratic national chairman. She succeeds Lawrence F. O'Brien, twice the party's chairman. A Negro, Basil Paterson of New York, was chosen for the committee's No. 2 post although he was not McGovern's original choice.

es, something that couldn't be done under past regulations. The case arose from a suit filed by AFL-CIO President George Meany and other unions. The council's $1.90 figure was based on a study by the Office of Management and Budget, which said that urban families of four with yearly incomes of less than $3,968 a year are considered poor. The council said $3,968 a year works out to be $1.90 per hour for a wage earner. The unions argued the $1.90 figure was unrealistic and asked the court to set a higher figure based on a Bureau of Labor Statistics study.

This study says that families of four in urban areas with annual incomes of less than $7,000 should be considered poor. Jones agreed, saying Congress had "rejected the poverty level earnings as prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget as a yardstick for determining exemption from wage control." The judge said the council's alarm at the prospect of an exemption from wage controls for more tHan 50 per cent of the nonsupervisory working force is less than convincing in light of its recent ruling exempting small businesses from both price and wage regulations. The Cost of Living Council, which had no immediate reaction to the decision, had estimated earlier that about 14 million workers are being paid between $1.90 and $3.35 an hour. Jones, in his 20-page opinion and order, did not spell out precisely how much money a person must make to come under the 5.5 per cent-a-year limit. But he suggested that $3.35 an hour, which figures out to about $7,000 a year, would be reasonable.

The ruling does not automatically guarantee higher salary increases but it entitles employes to negotiate for such increas raise its wage control cutoff point above $1.90 per hour. The order affects about 14 million workers. U.S. District Judge William B. Jones, in the first successful court challenge to President Nixon's stabilization program, ordered the council to abandon its $1.90 per hour cutoff point beyond which raises are limited to 5.5 per cent.

Agreeing with labor unions, which charged that the cutoff point was too low, Jones said the council exceeded its author- put a Democrat in the White House this fall," Pucinski wrote.

She played a leading role in managing the credentials contest that restored to McGovern his sweep of California delegates at the national convention, and foretold his NEW COMMITTEE HEADS Mrs. Jean West-wood was named chairman and Basil Paterson vice chairman, of the Democratic National Committee.

(AP) Vets Indicted In Bomb Plot BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) British troops and Irish guerrillas firing rockets battled across Belfast Friday in some of the heaviest fighting the embattled city has seen. Ten persons were killed in the battles Friday and early Saturdaya woman, five soldiers and four civilian men. The toll in three years of sectarian fighting rose to 436, with 228 killed this year alone. The woman was killed in crossfire between British troops and snipers as she stood in the doorway of her home in the Springfield Road district. A bomb planted in a car on Alliance Avenue exploded, damaging six houses.

Troops dispatched to the scene came under heavy sniper fire. In London, the Ministry of Defense announced it was sending a "substantial number" of additional armored vehicles to Northern Ireland. Each can carry a dozen troops. Londonderry was hit by its third bomb explosion of the day. The blast turned a shop in the devastated Waterloo Place shopping area into a blazing inferno.

A crowd quickly gathered and troops were forced to fire rubber bullets to disperse the people. The Londonderry Chamber of Trade wired British Prime Minister Edward Heath, appealing for troop reinforcements. The army dispatched 500 more men from Belfast. Battles continued through the TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

Mrs. Westwood, 48, became the first woman to assume the top post in either national party. Traditionally, in both parties, the vice chairman has been a woman. McGovern reversed that. Paterson, a former New York state senator who ran for lieutenant governor in 1970, was elected vice chairman of the committee.

McGovern had chosen Pierre Salinger, a campaign aide, former White House press secretary and briefly a senator from California, to assume that post. But Paterson was nominated from the floor by committeemen who said a black should have a role in the party's high command. McGovern said either man was perfectly acceptable to him, and Salinger withdrew his name. "I think I sense the feeling of this committee," he said. 10 disrupt next month's Republl with automatic weapons fire can National Convention bv fir- iand incenriiarv Hpvipaq i i i i I Held in Tallahassee nndpr mg imes dim expioaing Domos in the streets of Miami Beach.
