Jackie Onassis Wins Court Suit; Photographer Can't Take Photos NEW YORK (AP) Freelance photographer Ronald Galella has been barred from going near Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. A federal judge ruled that Galella had "relentlessly invaded" her right to privacy. U.S. District Court Judge Irving Ben Cooper wrote in his decision Wednesday that Galella "was like a shadow everywhere she went he followed her and engaged in offensive conduct." Cooper dismissed Galella's suit accusing Mrs. Onassis of interfering with his right to make a living and found him guilty of contempt for defying an earlier order to keep his distance from the family.

Galella has made something of a career of photographing the former First Lady and her two children, Caroline and John MRS. ONASSIS GALELLA GOP In Illinois House Undergo Strange Agony SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) Illinois House Republicans are undergoing a strange agony. What it means, where it will lead, and even whether it is relevant to the world beyond the marbled halls of the statehouse, is unknown. But the war among House Republicans exerts a byzantine fascination of its.own and casts at least some light on the preoccupations of the men who make the laws of Illinois.

Because of this battling, the spring session of the legislature adjourned amid almost indescribable chaos. Republican representatives attacked House Speaker W. Robert Blair, R- Park Forest, as a "damned idiot" who conspired "to obstruct the business of this House." Blair's two most vocal antagonists, Reps. Peter Miller of Chicago and Robert S. Juckett of Park Ridge, caught the speaker's parliamentarian, Zale Glauberman, still on the rostrum after the session.

"Go home, Robinson Crusoe, go home!" they howled at the bearded Glauberman. Other members were on their feet booing and jeering as Blair hastily adjourned the House and departed via a rear exit. Later, Blair told a news conference that the uproar was merely "end of the session Longtime observers of the legislature, however, recall that in previous years the last night histrionics invariably were the work of drunken law makers. Miller, Juckett and their followers all too obviously were sober in their attempt to embarrass Blair. And the next day other Republicans offered dark prophecies of Blair's demise.

Somewhere deep in the background of all this is the hefty, sardonic figure of House Majority Leader Henry J. Hyde of Chicago. With a jocular chuckle, Hyde denies that he has his eye fixed on the speaker's chair. "We're all getting along fine," the silvery haired Republican leader told newsmen recently. "The reports of a split have been greatly exaggerated." And yet Hyde is known to be disappointed that he received no help from Blair in his futile battle to get re- nominated in the March 21 Republican primary.

When he lost that election his fortunes appeared at the nadir and his wrath toward the speaker was ill concealed. But his luck went on the upturn two weeks later when another member who had won his renomination battle abruptly resigned and Hyde was "declared" the nominee. His benefactor: none other than Rep. Peter Miller. U.S.

Places Black Diplomat In S. Africa WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department has made good on a promise and assigned James E. Baker to South Africa-the first black American diplomat assigned to the nation. A State Department spokesman announced Thursday that Baker, a 37- year-old career foreign service officer, has been assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, where he will be economic and commercial officer.

Other black American diplomats and diplomatic couriers have served on a temporary basis in South Africa, but spokesman Charles W. Bray said Baker will be the first one on a permanent basis, probably spending two to three years in the country. Top State Department officials have repeatedly told congressional committees the administration intended to appoint a black diplomat to the embassy in South Africa at an appropriate time. Bray told the news conference Thursday that the department does not expect Baker to be subject to any restrictions in South Africa, where the government's official policy is separation of blacks and whites. Miller's motive is a mystery.

Most of Hyde's friends extol Miller as "a great Republican" and Miller himself, says that "Hyde is the only one I'd do this for-he held the House together." Yet Blair partisans recall that it was Miller who came down with an unexplained illness at the time of a speak(Illinois Focus) ership election in the early 1960s, allowing Democrat Paul Powell to win the spot even though the Republicans held a majority. And they dwell upon the "purge" of Miller and members of the so-called West Side Bloc by forces of Richard B. Ogilvie and Charles Percy in the 1964 election. "He's a great Republican when it suits his purpose," said a Blair backer. "The question is: what made him do it?" The rift within party ranks over Blair is neither sectional nor ideological, although the speaker does tend to be a bit more liberal than his most vocal critics.

Downstate, city and suburban Republicans all seem divided. In fact, the genesis of the split seems shrouded in the levels where personality and politics become irretrievably scrambled. There is no dispute, though, that the problem first surfaced last year at reapportionment time. Blair, part of a small panel of House and senate leaders who carved out the state's legislative districts, sided with the Democrats against Asst. Senate Minority Leader Terrel Clarke of Western Springs and former Gov.

William G. Stratton. And yet the speaker himself professes to be unconcerned about any challenge to his leadership. "I know how to get the votes," he told a news conference after the session. "I haven't been running for speaker.

I am the speaker. Now I'm going to concentrate on electing a Republican House and a Republican governor." Bob Fischer Loses Draw To Spassky REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) -Bobby Fischer lost the draw Thursday night, giving Boris Spassky the first move, and the world championship chess match will finally start next Tuesday. Unless the American challenger or the Soviet champion pleads illness and gets another postponement. The confusion of the past week was summarized by the old woman selling cigarettes who asked in the beginning: "Fischer come?" Near the end it was: "Spassky go?" "I'm very pessimistic," Dr. Max Euwe said at 10 a.m.

At noon: "It's a very delicate situation." At 7 p.m., the president of the International Chess Federation sighed: "There's hope." That was Tuesday. It could have been any day in the garbled prelude to what chess lovers say is the match of the century Spassky of the U.S.S.R. vs. Fischer of the U.S.A. Spassky arrived early to wait for Bobby.

Saying "I came to play," he philosophically accepted the first postponement when Fischer didn't show. Later he demanded an apology or he wouldn't play. At the news conference, one of Fischer's lawyers said he'd come to say he had nothing to say. Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, fielded questions with: "Kak Gavarit po Angliski," or as you say in English, "No comment." Then there's the "Eavesdropper," a man approaching middle age with a shock of graying hair combed in careful disarray onto his forehead. He takes voluminous notes, for a magazine piece, he says.

On scraps of paper he records conversations he's overheard. He carries the scraps in a red plastic shopping bag as he moves soundlessly about the hotel lobbies. One final quote, from Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation, who was under pressure from Fischer to give up a share of the gate receipts: "I have worked for more than a year to get this match to Iceland. I would do many things. But I will not bite into a sour apple." Thanks to a rich British chess fan who doubled the stakes, he didn't have to.

If they want to go on to the defeat of President Nixon, their first order of business will have to be the reversal of the party regulars' cynical decision to deprive George McGovern of more than half of his fairly-won California delegation. To call that decision of the credentials committee cynical, and a straight power grab, is not to deny the irony that the McGovern "reformers" in this instance were fighting against their own reform principles; nor is it to suggest that there is any good reason why California should be allowed what amounts to a "unit rule" when virtually every other state has had to abolish such procedures. Nevertheless, no one raised any serious question before the California primary about its validity; and had Hubert Humphrey won there, neither he nor George Meany nor Edmund Mus- kie would have raised the so-called "California challenge." The fact is that the challenge was put together by an incipient stop-McGovern coalition that included all these men, as well as George Wallace.

Stop McGovern The challenge, moreover, was pushed through despite numerous indications by McGovern and his supporters his Southern tour, for example, and their cooperative and moderate behavior in the platform committee that they were willing to compromise and conciliate. There simply can be no denying that the California challenge was a naked attempt to stop McGovern at any cost. So once again the so-called Democratic pros, the regulars who are supposed to be willing to moderate their differences for the good of the party, are showing themselves to be the real irreconcilables, those who in fact put their own interest ahead of the party's. In 1968,, for example, amid all the exhortation to Eugene McCarthy and his followers to support the Humphrey- Muskie ticket, not a single gesture of conciliation was made by the so-called (A News Analysis) "regulars" until Sept. 30, when Humphrey in his Salt Lake City speech finally edged away from the Lyndon Johnson war policy.

Four years later, just as McGovern appeared to be trying to take those steps toward the center that had been piously urged upon him, many of those same regulars of 1968 rewarded him with the California challenge. If there is a suicidal instinct within the Democratic party, as Meany among others has suggested, it must belong to precisely those party regulars who want everybody else to compromise with them, for them, and under them The first fruit of their 1972 folly was the further decision of the credentials committee to throw out Mayor Daley and his Chicago delegation. Had the California challenge not so enraged the McGovernilcs, it is at least possible that McGovern might have led them into a compromise on the Daley issue and, in fact, he had indicated his willingness and his hope to do just that. These two decisions are nothing short of disasters. And they have to be laid at the door of the party regulars, not the supposedly wild-eyed McGovern reformers.

The California decision was particular madness because if sustained by the convention it could be the means of denying McGovern the nomination, when that could have been done in no other way; and that, no matter what he then did, would guarantee the disaffection of the most organized and enthusiastic and probably the best-financed faction the Democrats have.
