Fantasy? Probably, but theoretically It could happen Monday night. THE WHEELS are In motion for what could be an unprecedented clash between the federal courts and the National Democratic Party. For the first time In history, a federal court has sought to deal directly with the Internal workings of one of the two major national parties.

Previously, the courts Intervened only In the operation of state political parties. They have banned all-white primaries in Texas and South Carolina as denyinf the constitutional rights of blacks. They have rejected Georgia's unit-rule as discriminating against black city dwellers in Atlanta.

The appeals court earlier Issued a stay of its own decision that was scheduled to expire at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday. Burger's one-sentence order, issued shortly before that hour, extended the existing stay until further action by the high court. The Democratic Party asked the high court to convene a rare special term to hear its appeal. The party contends that lower-court Intervention In delegate selection "very likely" will place the federal Judiciary in the role of convention kingmaker.

AT THE same time, Daley forces have asked vacationing Justices to sit in special term to gain Judicial action reinstating them as delegates. The high court may sit with Just six of the nine justices. The appeals court Wednesday overturned the credentials committee and ordered the 151 California delegates returned to the South Dakota senator.

Fischer drew the black pawn, giving Spassky the first move with white and a slight advantage. The draw was done the same way park-bench chess players would do it. Spassky took two pawns, one white, one black, juggled them behind his back then extended his closed hands to Fischer. Without hesitation, Fischer hunched forward and pointed a finger to Spassky's right hand.
