Credentials From I -A Sf. Pettrsburq Tlttits. Friday, July 7, If 72 17-A From I -A Boyd the Judiciary Into the affairs Illinois election code and has superimposed require-nients which disenfranchise the electorate and violate the rights of The challengers who replaced the ousted Illinois dele-gates were selected by caucus whil the original delegates were picked In an election. "IT IS imperative that this case be heard to vindicate the electoral process," the Daley forces said. "Irreparable harm will be done if election laws can be nullified and the losers substituted for the winners as representatives of the people." In a touch of Irony, the the party secretary, Dorothy Bush, on the basis of names certified by the credentials committee.

The committee awarded the 151 contested California seats to Humphrey and seven other non-winners in the California primary. The committee disbanded oh July 4, and according to a party lawyer can only be called back by the convention itself. Party lawyers were scratching their heads Thursday over how to reshuffle the list of California delegates if the court forces them to do so. PRESUMABLY, Mrs. Bush could put the McGovern delegates' names back on the "temporary roll." But the credentials committee antl-McGovern vote on June 29 is supposed to be binding on Mrs.

Bush. The appeals court order applies directly to O'Brien as Democratic National Committee chairman, to Mrs. Bush, to the credential committee, and to the committee chairman, Mrs. Pat Harris. be arrested, fined or Imprisoned.

Both the Harvard expert who declined to be identified and officials at Democratic headquarters agreed that such a dramatic outcome is most improbable. Exactly how the court order would be enforced is uncertain, however. ACCORDING TO the party rules, only those delegates will be seated who are on "the temporary roll" of the convention. The roll Is prepared by Democratic Party found itself opposing the Illinois bid for a special term. "Since this case does not Involve an unprecedented judicial intrusion Into the Internal decision making processes of a national political party," the party said it opposed the Daley forces' request.

A brief opposing the Illinois petition also was filed by the successful challengers, who maintained that a stay order from Burger would be tantamount to a single justice deciding the case on its merits. Legal researchers have found only three Instances of Transfer Your Savings Today Earn Up To )7o On convention who It shall or shall not permit to vote on Its candidate for president. BY A 2 to 1 vote, the Circuit Court of Appeals In Washington, D.C., prohibited the Democratic Party and its officials from excluding 151 California delegates pledged to Sen. George McGovern. The judges said the action by the convention's credentials committee 10 days ago to unseat the McGovern delegates violated the party's own rules and was "arbitrary and unconstitutional." They said the committee took away the McGovern delegates' rights without due process of law, in violation of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution.

Justifying their Intervention In the political process, the two judges said the credentials committee action "injures every voter in the United States and every individual and institution which is subject to the authority of the president "The process of electing the president of the United States is not, and cannot be, placed outside the rule of. law," the court declared. A THIRD judge dissented. He said he found "no violation" of the Constitution and "would leave the matter for resolution by the party, soon to meet in convention, without the court intervening by decree to set aside the action of the committee." Now it appears the delegate question will go to the top of the judicial ladder the Supreme Court. A noted constitutional expert at Harvard Law School said Thursday he knew of no precedent for such a sweeping assertion of judicial authority over the political process.

"There are precedents for judicial interference with various state delegations," he said, "but never involving the national convention or its committees." If the convention does defy the courts, its officers and "all those acting in concert with them" could be held in contempt of court. Theoretically, this, means that ordinary delegates, as well as chairman Lawrence O'Brien, could Certificates of Deposit 0f political parties further than ever before. McGovern forces opposed the party bid, saying "It Is particularly Important that the process In which the nom inees 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 process.

FISCHER also apologized to fuwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) and thousands of chess fans around the world for delaying the match.

Instead of going to Iceland for the scheduled start of the match, Fischer stayed In New York and demanded more money. His move was successful and a British banker, James Slater, agreed to double the original $125,000 so the match could be played. Fischer then flew to Iceland and went into seclusion in a house put at his disposal by the match organizers. HE SENT his second and two attorneys to the first lot drawing. Spassky protested and demanded an apology.

The Soviet Chess Federation later demanded that Fischer be ordered to forfeit the first game. Under match rules, the winner of each game gets one point. If the game is tied, each gets one-half point. Spassky needs only 12 points to retain his title but Fischer needs 12 points to win.
