Late Thursday a spokesman The Democrats contended the decision threatens to cause a fundamental change in the American political system by expanding the role of the judiciary into the affairs of political parties further than ever before. McGovern forces opposed the party bid, saying "it is particularly important that the process in which the nominees of the two major political parties are selected conform to the dictates of due process, equal protection of the law." The Appeals Court ruled that changing the terms of the California election violated the fundamental principles of due for the court said no further announcement would be made until at least Friday morning. The Democratic party asked the high court to convene a rare special term to hear its appeal.

The committee had stripped them from the South Dakota senator when it decided to reverse the winner-take-all state primary and parcel out delegates to candidates according to the percentage of the primary vote they received. At the same time, the court upheld the committee's rights to unseat Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates after finding they violated party rules on delegate selection. In asking the high court to consider the case, the Democratic party claimed the lower court decision "has provoked a fundamental constitutional crisis which can be settled only by this court." The seating of the California delegates, the party brief said, "and very likely the presidential nomination itself will be determined, not by the political process operative at the convention but by the mandate of a lower federal court."

It was the first meeting of a Pope and a patriarch since the 15th century, and it led to the revocation of mutual excommunications imposed Continued on Page 2, Column 1 JERUSALEM (AP) The Israeli Supreme Court on Thursday threw out a request by an Israeli lawyer to rule that Jesus Christ got an unfair trial. Atty. Yitzhak David said he made the appeal "in the hope that it may reduce the anti-Semites of the world by even one person." But the court ruled that the issue was "historic, not juridical," and that David had "not proved he suffered personal damage" through what he called a "miscarriage of justice" against Christ. In an extraordinary hearing, the three judges first asked David why he thought the Supreme Court should make the ruling.

"Because you are the first national Jewish court to arise since the time of Jesus," he replied. The" judges argued that Jesus was tried by the Roman occupiers of Israel, not by a civilian court. But lawyer David said Christ was brought to trial before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish court of ancient times. The court insisted Christ was sentenced by the Romans, and that David should take the issue before an Italian court. David cited Israeli laws empowering Israeli courts to rule on cases heard by the former Turkish and British occupiers of Palestine.

"Jesus did not receive a fair trial," said David's appeal. "He was brought before the Sanhedrin out of blind hatred, and on trumped up charges, and he could not receive a fair trial." "As long as the Supreme Court does not affirm this, the world will wallow in the darkness of blind hatred, and will bring endless troubles upon Israel," the appeal said. David, a 36-year-old resident of Ei-lat, Israel's southern Red Sea city, brought the appeal to court in the name of David Bi ton, also an Eilat Jew. He said this was a ploy, because the court usually frowned upon appeals by men of the legal profession. David told a newsman thousands of letters had reached the Supreme Court since Israel's establishment, asking that the court rule on this matter.

"The Greeks and the Vatican have all expurgated tracts of the New Testament blaming the Jews for Christ's death," he said. "But we Jews have done nothing." The lawyer said he conceived his appeal after reading how Samuel H. Sheppard, an Ohio doctor convicted of killing his wife, was freed in 1966 after 11 years in prison when his lawyer, F. Lee Bailey, proved he did not get a fair trial. Sheppard died in 1970.

"I expected to win my appeal," said David. "I intend to go to court again."

In his letter to Spassky, Fis Athenagoras contended that only a "dialogue of love" could reunite the churches, and he attempted to prove it with his work. When Pope Paul visited Istanbul in 1967, Athenagoras joined him in the celebration of Mass in the Catholic Cathedral.

The gospel for the day included a phrase over which the two churches had originally split. This was the so-called Fi-lioque clause, defining the nature of the Holy Spirit.
