Supreme Court Ruling Favors Effort Democrats Begin Process Of Pulling Party Together EXPECTANT MOTHEK Gigi, a 220-pound low-land gorilla, relaxes Wednesday at the Stoneham, Zoo.

The psychologist, Dr. Deborah Schildkraut, says Gigi, who was raised by humans, needs the lesions because "Gorillas learn about being mothers in the wild by watching other gorillas." (AP Laserphoto) Elliot Carter, 78, Wins Music Prize MUNICH, West Germany (AP) American composer Elliot Carter won the 178,500 Ernst von Siemens Music Prize, Siemens AG, the West Germany industrial conglomerate, announced today. The 78-year-old Carter, a New York City native and 1MO winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, is considered one of America's most important composers. Among his most noted works are the ballet "Pocahontas," "Sonata for Cello and Piano," "A Symphony for Three Orchestras," and three string quartets.

The Harvard-educated Carter, a music theorist and critic as well as a composer, was selected winner of the Siemens Prize, one of the world's largest cash awards for musical achievement, on this basis of his numerous orchestral works, Siemens said. Previous winners include Herbert von Karajan, Pierre Boufez and Benjamin Britten. WASHINGTON (AP) For the second time in a decade the Democratic Party is starting the long, painful process of pulling itself back together. This time it is buoyed by a Supreme Court ruling that may make the task easier. The three-day national committee meeting starting today is the party's first gathering since President Carter was turned out of office and the Senate was turned over to the Republicans in last fall's elections.

In a speech prepared for delivery to the national committee today, outgoing party chairman John C. White said last fall's losses could be traced to Ronald Reagan's exploitation of middle-class resentment and to "our reluctance to end what was not working." "If there was a failure (last year) by the Democratic Party and its candidates it was a failure to instill in the middle class a sense of identification with our party," White said. He added, "Perhaps our failure in the past decade has been our reluctance to end what was not working, hesitancy to fine-tune what was working and too much haste in trying something "We have been burned for that failure," he said. "And we have learned our lesson." The rebuilding process may have been facilitied by a Supreme Court decision Wednesday which appears to give the national party final authority over its own affairs particularly the selection of the convention delegates who nominate presidenial candidates. Ruling in a Wisconsin case, the high court said a state can hold an "open" primary if it wishes, but it has no right to force convention delegates to abide by the results.

"I can't think of a better legacy to present to my successor than the Supreme Court's ruling," said White, who is stepping down as party chairman Friday. White, who has urged the party to streamline its operations in general and smooth up the nominating process in particular, said the party's national leadership now has the authority to get the job done. Charles Manatt. the California lawyer in line to succeed White, agreed the ruling will make his work easier. "It gives us a lot more authority," said Manatt, who indicated the party now will move firmly against states which have defied its rules in the past.

The Wisconsin case involved a state tradition of crossover or "open" primaries, which allow members of one party to vote in the other party's primaries. Many Democrats have complained for years that this allows Republicans to pick Democratic nominees, frequently voting for the Democrat they think will be easiest to beat in the general election. The new decision closes out a long series of battles the party has fought to tighten its control over national party affairs, particularly the presidential nomination process. Earlier decisions had given the party the right to refuse national convention seating to state delegations which had been chosen in defiance of party rules. The new ruling extends this authority to override state laws which intefere with the party's right to choose its own candidates.

The next step in applying the national party's newly affirmed authority will be bringing maverick states into a new time frame for presidential primaries. Party rules say all primaries, caucuses and state conventions in the delegate selection process must be held between the second Tuesday in March and the second Tuesday in June of the election year. However, five states ignored the limits, starting with Iowa, which held caucuses as early as Jan. 21, and New Hampshire, which kept its distinction as the first primary state by voting on Feb. 26.

The new Supreme Court action means states may have "popularity contest" primaries as they please, but actual selection of national convention delgates must follow national party rules. Manatt is stepping into one of the most difficult jobs in politics. His expected election on Friday comes eight years after Robert Strauss took the helm in the wake of 1972 election disasters. Strauss rebuilt the traditional coalitions which make up the Democratic Party and saw it through the ordeal of internal reforms. The culmination of his efforts was the election of a Democratic president in 1976 and whopping majorities in Congress.

But the party lost both the White House and the Senate last fall, with Carter Incoming the first elected president in 28 years to be denied a second term. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933..
