Daley Wins Skirmish In High Court WASHINGTON (UPI) Though denied convention seats in a preliminary party ruling, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 fellow would-be delegates won a legal skirmish in the Supreme Court Saturday that could bolster their claim to be the legitimate representatives of Illinois Democrats. In a ruling by Justice William H. Rehnquist, a local court in Cook County, was given a go-ahead to continue proceedings in which it had temporarily prohibited rivals of the Daley delegation from pressing their claim within the party. Because court injunction had been stayed by a federal court, the rivals did present their claim to the credentials committee meeting here this week and on Friday received committee sanction to be seated in place of the Daley delegation, which was formed as a result of winning in Illinois primary voting.

The credentials committee ruling, which gave the candidacy of Sen. George S. McGovern a boost, will be raised again at the national convention in Miami Beach later this month and could be reversed on a vote by the full convention. Daley's delegation had been officially uncommitted to any presidential, candidate; the challenge delegation includes 40 McGovern supporters. Rehnquist's ruling technically was to refuse to interfere with federal appeals court clearance for the state courts to proceed to consider the dispute.

A lower federal court had ordered the state courts to stop. Rehnquist ruled that the challengers had failed to demonstrate state courts could not adequately handle the case. He said they therefore must be allowed to continue. Plant Is Struck CLEVELAND (UPI) About. 365 employes of the Sherwin Williams Corp.
