The appeals court Wednesday overturned the party's Credentials Committee and ordered 151 California delegates returned to Sen. George S.

The committee had stripped them from the South Dakota senator when it decided to reverse the winner-take-all state primary and parcel out delegates to candidates according to the percentage of the primary vote Also suspended by the Chief Justice's action was the second portion of the U.S. Columbia Appeals Court decision which upheld the Credentials Committee's expulsion of Chicago Mayor Richard J.

(EDT) Thursday. Burger's one sentence order, issued shortly before that hour, extended the existing stay till further action by the high 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 tune, Daley forces have asked vacationing justices to sit in a special term. The court may sit with as few they received. At the same time, the court upheld the committee's rights to unseat the Daley delegation, saying they violated party rules on delegate selection.

In asking the high court to consider the case, the Democratic Party claimed that the lower court decision "has provoked a fundamental constitutional crisis which can be settled only by this court." The seating of the California delegates, the party brief said, "and very likely the presidential nomination itself will be determined, not by the political process operative at the convention but by the mandate of a lower federal court." The Democrats contended the decision threatens to cause a fundamental change in the American political system by expanding the role of the judiciary into the affairs of political parties further than ever before. McGovern forces opposed the party bid, saying "it is particularly important that the process in which the nominees 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 tiie terms of the California election violated the fundamental principles of due process. WASHINGTON AP) Chief Justice Warren E. Burger indefinitely blocked a lower court decision Thursday that returned to Sen. George McGovern 151 California delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Burger acted as he attempted to contact the other eight vacationing U.S. Supreme Court Justices to learn if there is sufficient support to call for a rare special session to decide the case.

Laird said Thursday that Sen. George McGovern's proposed (30-billion slash in military spending would pose "a dangerous and calamitous risk" for U.S. security and world peace. "The so-called white flag budget substitutes a philosophy of givfrway-now, beg-later for a philosophy of strength and willingness to negotiate," Laird said: A gloves-off campaigner in his past career as a Republican congressman, Laird said with obvious relish that the Democratic Platform Committee had "repudiated" the McGovern proposals to curb defense outlays to $54.8 billion by fiscal 1975. The committee rejected recently both hawkish and dovish defense planks.

It said "the military budget can be reduced substantially with no weakening of our national But the committee used no dollar figures; On the Inside dropped hundreds of small antipersonnel bombs on a row of tree-shaded homes along Highway 1 on the southeastern edge of the city. The paratroopers were taking fire from bunkers hidden among the houses, and the planes were attempting to clear a path into the city that fell to the North Vietnamese May 1. In the afternoon, lead elements of the task force still were slightly more than a mile south of the city center and moving cautiously forward. Other airborne units and marines in the task force were moving on the city from the southeast and east but were still 1.8 to 2.2 miles from the citadel. Capt.

Gail Furrow, 32, said the airborne task force he is advising could have pushed into the enemy-held city Wednesday, but it had to secure the road to prevent the enemy from cutting the troops' supply line. The enemy forces holed up in the bunkers among the houses were estimated at two companies, possibly 200 or more men. U.S. B52 heavy bombers ringed the city with hundreds of tons of explosives. The U.S.

Command reported that American warplanes flew 360 strikes against North Viet nam Wednesday in their heaviest raids since the 1968 bombing halt. An Air Force Phantom was hit by a surface-to-air missile over Haiphong during the raids. The two crewmen steered the plane out to sea, bailed out and were rescued. The plane was the 54th reported lost since the United States resumed fullscale bombing of the North two months ago. The command said laser bombs knocked out the 96-foot Vu Chua railroad bridge 55 miles south of the border with China.

The bridge is on the northeast rail line. In Cambodia, the high command reported the enemy slammed more 600 shells into the besieged district town of Angtassom, 40 miles south of Phnom Penh, in the heaviest bombardment in more than two years of war.

To Back Rumors LONDON (AP) Western diplomats said Thursday there is no evidence to suggest that China and Moscow are exerting any effective pressures on Hanoi to negotiate a settlement in Vietnam, despite the Asian missions of U.S. and Soviet officials last month. Spokesmen for the Soviet and Chinese embassies here declined formal comment on a report that their governments pressing North Vietnamese leaders to end the war soon. Western diplomats with missions in Moscow, Peking and Hanoi discounted the report, which sent prices skyrocketing on the New York Stock Exchange.

Prices surged ahead 13.55 points in active trading before noon but later receded, when the report received no confirmation. A Russian official in Britain said privately that any authoritative statement relating to Soviet policy on Vietnam would not be made in London but in Moscow. "No member of the Chinese mission could conceivably discuss Peking's dealings with Hanoi in this way," said a source close to the Chinese Embassy. Ever since Soviet President Nikolai V. Podgorny visited Hanoi and U.S.

presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger traveled to Peking.in June, Western diplomats have speculated that Russia and China may separately be urging North Vietnam to make a peace settlement. But they doubt the two competing Communist nations would expose themselves to charges of betraying North Vietnam by appearing to turn on Hanoi so close to the resumption of the Paris peace talks, set for next week. Caution Urged WASHINGTON (AP) -State Department spokesman cautioned Thursday against what he called "pendulum swings of speculation" on rumors that the Paris peace talks would bring some break in the long impasse in negotiations with North Vietnam. 1 Spokesman Charles W.

Bray made the comment after London reports circulated that the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China were trying to persuade North Vietnam to negotiate seriously prisonment, the minimum term permitted under the air piracy statute. Defense attorneys said they would file an appeal with the VS. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. At the outset of the week-long trial, the defense admitted that Bohle forced an Eastern Airlines plane' en route from Miami, Fla. to Nassau to divert to Cuba Jan.

9, 1969. But, it contended, Bohle suffered from mental illness at the time and thus could not legally have had criminal intent in his actions. The trial was marked by much psychiatric testimony. Bohle appeared visibly shaken but composed when the jury of seven men and' five women announced its verdict. His parents were among a handful of spectators in the courtroom.

The conviction was Bohle's second on the air-piracy charge. The result of his first trial, held in Indiana, was set aside by an appeals court and the re-trial here ordered. Bohle was arrested when he re-entered the United States from Cuba via Canada at the Champlain, N.Y., border crossing in November 1969. His case went to tthe jury Thursday afternoon after completion of testimony, closing statements by both sides and MacMahon's charge. Democrats Get $l-a-Bay Kickback on Hotel Rooms 1 negotiated what I think is the best convention contract ever negotiated with a city.

Another angle has some of the 80 staff members dutifully packing their bags every couple of days and moving into another hotel to take advantage of free rates negotiated by, Strauss. "Everything we get here, I pay in advance," sighs Strauss. "I paid in advance for the hotel rooms we're occupying here.

I pay in advance for printing that is being done. I've paid cash in advance for everything we do." For the Republicans that would be no problem.

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.

With a smile Spassky opened it.

"The city agreed to do certain things for us," Strauss says. "Cities by tradition have put up money. We said to the city, we don't need money. What we want is facilities. "What we want is a half -million dollars in goods and services and we want a half-million from other sources in cash, tourist agencies, hotels, etc.

We get $1 a night of every room booked through the hotel association. "We originally figured it would raise $100,000, but it's going to be closer to $50,000. One of the major networks came in and booked all their own rooms and cost us several thousand dollars just by not going through us."
