The Protestant barricades sprang up overnight in protest against Catholic barricaded areas in Londonderry, despite appeals by British authorities to avoid action that might precipitate civil war. At least seven Protestant areas of Belfast were sealed off by militants of the Ulster Defense Association. Armed with wooded batons, and policed by men wearing special arm bands, the militants checked the credentials of all persons attempting to enter or leave their enclaves. The Catholics pulled down three barricades Friday in Londonderry as a gesture, but most remained up today.

More than 20,000 hooded men joined by some masked women, sealed off Protestant areas and brought normal busy Saturday life to a virtual standstill throughout the province. British troops and Roman Catholics made no attempt to break down or crash through the buses, trucks, cars and rubble that sealed off Protestant areas.

Some violence shattered the few days of peace enjoyed by the province since the Catholic-based Irish Republican Army declared a truce last Monday. One man was killed and two wounded early today in shooting incidents in Belfast. A youth was wounded at Lurgan, 20 miles away. There were other incidents elsewhere but no major outbreak of violence. The body of a man who had been hooded, gagged and shot was also found in midmorning on the fringe of Belfast's Woodvale area, itself surrounded by barricades.

Mack will be a senior at William Carey College and is an English major. Both of the students have prepared speeches they are learning in the French language to be presented to Rotarians in the cities they visit.

Early in August the young people will return to the United States and the two youths they visited in France will arrive in New Orleans on another plane to spend the month with them. The trip is purely a recreational event. Robin has been promised hunting, fishing, skiing and swimming by her hostess, Simone Morlat, a secretary in Roanne, France, a small villiage near Lyons. Simone has written that part of the time will be spent on the Cote d'Azue between Nice and Monaco. Mack will stay in the home of Philippe Reymondon in Firming, another small villiage near Lyons, and in addition to other sports has been promised some sailing.

Both of the villiages are on a river in eastern France. In return, the local students expect to take their guests to some of the interesting and historic spots in the south.

Daley, boss of the biggest Democratic organization in the country, has been shorn of his convention seat in a move that left the party teetering on the edge of discord. The convention's Credentials Committee, firmly controlled by supporters of Sen. George McGovern, voted 71 to 61 Friday night to deny seats to Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates.

The committee voted in lost Thursday when the Committee outlawed California's winner-take-all primary, stripping him of more than half its 271 delegates. All of the committee's actions are subject to final approval by the national convention, which opens in Miami Beach July 10, and both the California and Illinois challenges are expected to be refought there. The Daley delegation is also planning a court fight to overturn the committee ruling. In Chicago, Daley did not disclose his immediate plans, stead to seat a rival slate of 41 delegates pledged to McGovern and another 18 leaning toward him. The vote was the second explosive challenge decided by the committee, triggering extreme emotional responses and setting the stage for a discordant convention floor fight.

But, after the Daley vote, a leader of the insurgents called for a healing compromise. McGovern also picked up eight convention votes in another successful challenge involving downstate Illinois delegates and so gained back at least 49 of the delegates he 1940 1950 1960 to September, iOMl. tifl Of H.f.lT.
