Florida's Best Newspaper ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1972 Vol.88-No.348 7 DAYS HOME DELIVERY 10 CENTS A COPY. 94 PAGES Lays HHH Fights Back, 4-A; Campsites Okayed 20-A Evans And Novak, 22-A; Nixon And TV, 1-D WASHINGTON IB A federal appeals court Wednesday ordered 151 California dele- gates restored to George McGovern, prompting his forces to enter a claim on a first-ballot victory at the Democratic Convention in Miami next week. In the same opinion, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here upheld another party credentials committee decision ousting Mayor Richard Daley and 58 others as Illinois delegates to the presidential nominating session.

In the same order the federal court blocked any -state-court action that might affect its decision. THIS WAS another plus for the South Dakota senator since the Daley slate was uncommitted but a majority of the replacements fa-vors McGovern. An appeal to the Supreme Court still is possible for the Democratic National Committee and pro-Daley forces but the high court is now in summer recess. i Joseph A. Califano, counsel for the Democratic National Committee, said in Miami Beach he will ask the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court decision.

He said the com- mittee was standing by its position that "the courts should not get involved in political thickets." by establishing retroactively an entirely new and unannounced standard of conduct." THE LOSERS in both cases followed usual legal practice and asked the circuit court to stay the effect of its ruling. They are expected also to ask Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to call the Supreme Court, which adjourned last week, into special session to hear appeals. Before the court could hear the cases, Burger would have to summon vacationing justices for a special session of which there have been only three in history. The circuit court directed the U.S.

District Court that originally heard the cases to write an order declaring the credentials committee action on California null and void and enjoining any further action against the McGovern delegates based on the winner-take-all Issue. IN THE Illinois portion of the decision, a unanimous court held that the party does have the right to impose requirements on delegate selection. i The credentials committee had ousted the 59 Illinois delegates for violation of those requirements. 1 In order to protect the judgment, the court "It is necessary to enjoin Daley forces (See CREDENTIALS, 15-A) Rick Stearns, McGovem's chief delegate marshal, said McGovern now has 1,541.5 delegate votes, enough to assure a first-ballot nomination. IF THE circuit court ruling stands, The Associated Press delegate count would place McGovem's strength at 1,436.65, less than 100 short of the 1,509 delegate votes needed for nomination.

Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota has 302.55 by the count, Alabama Gov. George Wallace has 365 and Maine's Sen. Edmund S. Muskie has 219.55.

Some delegates officially classified as un- committed, however, have said they are leaning to McGovern; Humphrey, whose presidential quest suffered a severe setback with the court ruling, said in Waverly, that the convention might attempt to overrule the courts if the ruling stands, i Asked whether he meant the convention would have the right to act in defiance of the court decision, Humphrey replied "That's my judgment." THE CREDENTIALS committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates by deciding to apportion them among all candidates by the amount of votes each received in the presidential primary, The circuit court held that while the apportionment might be more fair than the winner-take-all manner in which the primary was set up, changing the rules after the game was over "was inconsistent with fundamental principles of due process." The majority opinion In the 2-1 California decision declared that the "Democratic Party did not merely interpret one of its rules in it acted in defiance of its own rules as Interpreted in the call for the 1972 convention AP Tight-Lipped Califano Vows To Appeal Ruling Ends Hue Shelled: As- S.

i. French Premier Fired Tim Win Strvlcu SAN FRANCISCO TBI agents rushed a hijacked airliner carrying 86 persons at San Francisco Airport Wednes-day, killing both hijackers in a blazing gun battle that also killed one passenger and wounded two others. FBI agents, carrying automatic weapons and shotguns, stormed the' plane when the hijackers attempted to obtain $800,000 jansom, two parachutes and maps for a flight to Russia. 1 ONE HIJACKER was killed in the cockpit of the Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) jetliner while the other died in a rear section. An FBI agent, dressed as a pilot, was made to strip to his shorts before boarding the plane to make sure he was not carrying a weapon.

After he dressed, he walked up the ramp and then to the cockpit. Wire service reports conflict on what happened next. Ap-' parently, other FBI agents sneaked onto the plane after the masquerading agent. In the ensuing confrontation, both hijackers and a passenger were killed, and two passengers were FBI agent Robert Gebhardt said, "Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded, but somebody had to make a decision. We wanted to stop the hijacking and stop it we did." The slain and wounded passengers were In the rear of the plane.

The FBI said the passengers were shot by the hijackers. THE DEAD passenger was identified as E. H. Stanley. Carter, 66, of Longuell, Quebec.

One of the wounded was Victor Sen Yung, 56-year-old actor who portrayed Hop Sing in the TV series "Bonanza." The FBI identified the two hijackers as Dimitr Alexiev, Hayward, and Michael D. Azmanoff, both 28, who entered the United States in the 1950s. The wounded passengers were taken to a hospital where they were reported in fair condition. The plane sat on a runway more than a mile from the San Francisco International airport terminal for more than four hours while one of the hijackers sent demands through the pilot, Capt. Dennis Waller of San Diego.

J5 Evonne Stops Chris Lot Angtltl Timu Strvkt PARIS President Georges Pompidou abruptly fired Premier Jacques Chaban-Delmas Wednesday and named a strong Gaullist, Pierre Messmer, to succeed him. I The move Is generally interpreted as an effort by Pompi- dou to give his government a new look and increase its Gaullist image and appeal in preparation for parliamentary elections. The elections must be held by next spring but now may come much earlier. CHABAN-DELMAS was never of the ultra inner-circle of those personally trusted by former president Charles de Gaulle. Moreover, he deliberately set out as prime minister to move the government somewhat to the left in social policy, and this put him constantly at loggerheads with the Gaullist rightists.

He then became increasingly expendable as a result of a tax muddle, under which he used a perfectly legal loophole to escape almost all his income tax for several years. Somehow or other, a copy of his income tax return got into the hands of a small Paris weekly newspaper that delights In exposes. Although Chaban-Delmas bitterly defended himself In a television broadcast last March, it was clear from then on that his days as prime minister were numbered. His dismissal came as a surprise, however, despite widespread speculation (See FRANCE, 15-A) in a V. r'- i i ef (' i .1 I Tl ii ff Vcr.
