The force in Quang Tri City encountered iiitle opposition in its sweep through southern areas of town, but South Vietnamese officers said they would not consider, the city theirs until they took its 19th century citadel, a walled fortress near the center of the city believed occupied by Communist snipers.

IN AN APPARENT attempt to slow down the South Vietnamese drive to retake Quang Tri Province, the Communist hit the old imperial capital of Hue, 32 miles to the south, with the heaviest shelling at-. tack there since the 1968 Tet offensive. In the air war, the U.S. Command said American fighter-bombers flew a record-tying 340 missions over North Vietnam, bombing a MIG airfield and knocking out a railroad bridge near the capital of Hanoi. Quang Tri City and its surrounding province were captured by about 48,000 Communist troops May 1.

South Vietnamese commandos dropped into the city from helicopters Tuesday and were quickly followed by reinforcements who began a house-to-house search for North Vietnamese hold- outs. SAIGON paratroopers occupied the power station, about 500 yards from the center of the city, and radioed back that it was badly damaged, but not destroyed by Communist and allied bombardment in the past three months. Troops who took the airfield, 1 miles to the northwest, reported its aluminum matted runways and steel helicopter pads were torn apart by shelling.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Chief Justice Warren E. Burger yesterday temporarily delayed a lower court order ousting Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley's 59-member Democratic convention delegation and awarding 153 disputed California delegates to Sen. George S. McGovern.

Burger's order gave him more time to consider an urgent appeal from the Democratic National Committee that he reassemble the Supreme Court from its summer recess to consider overturning the appellate court's California decision. That decision enhanced McGovern's chances of winning the Democratic presidential nomination on the convention's first ballot. THE APPEALS court on Wednesday overturned the vote of the Democratic Credentials Committee last week to take 153 California delegates from McGovern and distribute them among his rivals in the June 6 winner-take-all primary. The court also upheld the credentials committee decision to replace Daley's uncommitted delegation with, one more favorable to McGovern. Shortly after the Supreme Court building opened yesterday, attorneys for the Democratic National Committee, representing the credentials committee, and for Daley's group, asked Burger to bring the Supreme Court back to review the 2-1 appellate decision in the California dispute and the unanimous action in the Illinois case.
