(AP) -The Supreme Court received Thursday the tangled case of Sen.

George McGovern's contested California delegates, while the politicians did business as usual and lined up rival forces to battle the issue at the Democratic National Convention. But it remained unclear whether the courts or the convention would deliver the ultimate verdict in a delegate-seating dispute important to the contest for presidential Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey's campaign manager, Jack L. Chestnut, said there may yet be a convention floor contest over the California delegate sweep McGovern won in a primary election, lost in the party Credentials Committee, and regained in a federal appeals court ruling.

At least 151 of the 271 California delegates are at stake, and on them hinge McGovern's hopes for first-ballot victory in his quest for White House mary candidates on the basis of their popular vote shares. The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., ruled Wednesday that the party committee acted unconstitutionally in denying McGovern 151 of the California delegates. The Democratic party appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds the Credentials Committee had the power to act as it did. The Democratic brief contended the appeals court had "thrown the country into a constitutional crisis" by ruling on the selection of delegates to a political convention.

In another political appeal, the forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley asked the Supreme Court to overrule a Credentials Committee ruling, sustained in the lower courts, that ousted 59 Illinois delegates.

(AP Wirephoto) Chief Justice Warren E. Burger stayed implementation of a lower court ruling returning to McGovern the 151 votes the Democratic Credentials Committee took away. Burger was contacting the other eight justices to determine whether there was sufficient support for an extraordinary special session of the court, something that has happened only three times before. Chestnut said Humphrey and his allies in the effort to deny McGovern the 151 California votes will abide by the law of the land, once the courts decide and their lawyers interpret what it is. But he indicated that Humphrey lawyers will be looking for leeway to take their case to the convention floor.

"What's one man's loophole is another man's right," he said. Pierre Salinger, a McGovern aide, said the front-runner's forces are operating on the assumption that there will be a convention vote on the seating issue. That means counting delegates, checking commitments, and applying political persuasion. Both sides were at it. "We think we have the votes to win," Salinger said.

Mike Maloney, a top Humphrey strategist, claimed "the coalition majority" of rivals and critics aligned against McGovern would fashion a substantial margin to deny him the disputed California votes. At issue in the seating controversy is the winner-take-all system under which McGovern's California primary plurality awarded him ail 271 nominating votes. The Credentials Committee voted instead to apportion the delegation among all the pri rthodox Christians' Leader Dies OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)-A Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner with 58 persons aboard was hijacked Thursday by a gunman demanding a ransom of $450,000, the airline said. The Boeing 727 was taken over as it approached Oakland Airport.

It was the second hijacking of a PSA aircraft in as many days. The air pirate, described as a white male, ordered the plane to fly to San Diego after demanding the ransom, the airline said. On board the PSA flight from Burbank to Oakland and Sacramento were 51 hostage passengers and sue crew members-three men and three women, the airline said. The airline had reported earlier that 99 persons were on board the plane. It later corrected the figure to 58.

The plane was diverted to San Diego on the instructions of the hijacker, the spokesman added. An earlier report from the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington said 59 persons were aboard the plane, Flight 389. It was the second hijacking of a Pacific Southwest jetliner in two days. Two armed hijackers were shot to death by FBI agents Wednesday at San Francisco International Airport. A passenger was fatally wounded by one of the hijackers before being gunned down himself, the FBI said.

Two other passengers were wounded. The gunmen in Wednesday's hijacking had demanded and passage to Siberia, authorities said. Thursday's was the fourth hijacking of a PSA plane this year. The airline operates entirely within the confines of California. On April 9, Stanley Harlan Speck, 31, of San Francisco, was captured within an hour after he allegedly ordered a PSA Boeing 727 to land in San Diego where he demanded $500,000 and a parachute.

his health, aside from the fracture. A spokesman at the patriarchate on the Golden Horn here said the Holy Synod, the governing body of world Orthodoxy, would meet Friday morning to decide on details of the patriarch's funeral. The body will be taken from the hospital, which is outside the city walls of Istanbul, to the patriarchal Church of St. George for lying in state. Athenagoras' successor will be chosen by the Holy Synod, which comprises 12 metropolitan archbishops of the ecumenical patriarchate.

The tall, imposing Athenagoras first met with Pope Paul VI of the Roman Catholic Church in 1967. It was the first meeting of a Pope and a patriarch since the 15th century, and it led to the revocation of mutual excommunications imposed nine centuries ago. Athenagoras contended that only a "dialogue of love" could expressed the desire to live a monastic life on Mount Athos. He was attended by only one servant in his simple rooms at the run-down Patriarchate on the Golden Horn in Istanbul. Almost any visitor was welcome to attend his informal audiences on Sunday mornings after the conclusion of the Liturgy, where he dispensed urbane witticisms and sympathetic advice in half a dozen languages.

Athenagoras was born as Aristoklis Spirou in 1886 at Joannina, then a Turkish town, the son of a doctor. He graduated from Istanbul's island seminary of Halki in 1910 and returned to Macedonia, where he made friends with the Catholic population, and in particular the Marist Brothers. In 1922 he became bishop of Corfu, which has a mixed Catholic and Orthodox population, and in 1931 he went to the United States as Orthodox Archbishop of North and South near Quang Tri. Government casualties were put at 10 killed and 90 wounded. The U.S.

Command reported that American warplanes flew 360 strikes against North Vietnam on Wednesday in their heaviest raids since the 1968 bombing halt.

He always expressed a fondness for the United States, which he said was "the leader of the free world." This, he said, gave it a great responsibility. In 1948 he was chosen Ecumenical Patriarch, and allowed to resume his Turkish citizenship to take up the post. 770 Drug Traffic Bosses Target Of President By JIM ADAMS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon administration announced Thursday it is trying to put 770 drug traffic bosses in 53 cities and 40 states out of business if not behind bars through tax prosecution. It won only six criminal tax convictions and 15 indictments of illegal drug importers and wholesalers during the first year's effort. Asst.

Treasury Secretary Eugene T. Rossides said in a year-end report. But Rossides predicted he will win at least 120 indictments next year. He said 410 Treasury agents have begun action against 148 of the drug bases; are investigating the other 631, and have taken tax action against 565 pushers at the street level. He said $54.2 million in fines and penalties were assessed against the traffickers and $8.5 million of it has been collected $1 million more than the $7.5 million Congress appropriation for the program.

"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 com-p i 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. The diplomats also noted there is no sigr China and the Soviet Union have stopped supplying Hanoi with arms and other military aid the one sector where Moscow and Peking could reinforce any advice urging a settlement. reunite the churches, and he attempted to prove it with his work. When Pope Paul visited Istanbul in 1967, Athenagoras joined him in the celebration of Mass in the Catholic Cathedral. The gospel for the day included a phrase over which the two churches had originally split.

This was the so-called Fi-lioque clause, defining the nature of the Holy Spirit. When Pope Paul VI visited Istanbul in 1967 Athenagoras joined him in the celebration of Mass in the, Catholic Cathedral here. "What ink and what hatred were spilt over the Filioque," Athenagoras said later. "Then came love, and everything gave way to it." "This is how the day of reunion will come," he added. "Unexpectedly.

God will hear our prayers. The only way to unity is through the heart." Athenagoras lived a life of forbidding austerity, and once moated citadel, 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.

Some paratroopers did enter Quang Tri on Tuesday, then took up positions on the southeastern edge. A spokesman for the South Vietnamese command said the objective first was to destroy the enemy forces around Quang Tri and "then naturally Quang Tri will be taken." The enemy forces holed up in the bunkers among the houses were estimated at two companies, possibly 200 or more men. One prisoner said they had called for reinforcements. Furrow expressed doubt that the reinforcements ever could reach the bunkers because of air and artillery blows. The Saigon spokesman, Lt.

Col. Do Viet, said two companies of paratroopers controlled the southern edges of Quang Tri south of Highway 1, including the railroad station. Most of Quang Tri lies north of the highway. Viet reported no government troops had yet moved into the northern sector. U.S.

B52 heavy bombers ringed the city with hundreds of tons of explosives and flanking elements of the task force claimed to have killed 180 enemy soldiers in several battles By RODNEY PRIDER Associated Press Writer ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) -Patriarch Athenagoras who led his Orthodox Church into a dialogue with Roman Catholicism after centuries of estrangement, died Friday of kidney failure. He was 86. The ecumenical patriarch, leader of the world's 250 million Orthodox Christians, broke his hip in a fall a week ago. Doctors said his death at the Ba-likli Greek Orthodox hospital in Istanbul followed a massive loss of blood pressure. Athenagoras was to have been flown to Vienna on Friday or Saturday for orthopedic surgery.

Until Thursday, doctors had expressed optimism about a share of gate receipts "my petty dispute over money," and asked the Russian to accept his "sincerest apology." Harry Golombek, an official of the International Chess Federation FIDE announced that both players had agreed to begin play on Tuesday.

China, Moscow Seen Not Pressuring Foe The Principal of Pacing By MICHAEL PUTZEL Associated Press Writer SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces advancing slowly on Quang Tri battled North Vietnamese infantrymen and tanks on the flanks of the city and rescued 800 refugees, the Saigon command reported Friday. South Vietnamese forces claimed to have killed 50 North Vietnamese troops and destroyed four tanks in the action on Thursday.

Four South Vietnamese soldiers were reported killed and 26 wounded. The South Vietnamese forces also reported seizing a big ammunition stockpile. The refugees were picked up two miles east of Quang Tri and taken to My Chanh to the south, spokesmen said. South Vietnamese paratroopers were pushing slowly on Quang Tri behind a shield of American fighter-bombers pounding entrenched North Vietnamese troops guarding the access routes to the Northern provincial capital. Associated Press correspondent Dennis Neeld, with the lead elements of the airborne task force, reported that Navy dive bombers 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 were still slightly more than a mile south of the city center, a SISTER EUGENIA KEETHERS, principal of St. Theresa's Grade School in Evansville, tries her hand at jogging a standardbred at Audubon Raceway in Henderson, Thursday.

(AP Wirephoto) Chess Tourney To Open Tuesday; Fischer Makes Apology in Wrifing 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 have been 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, 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. lenger, and Spassky, the Soviet world champion, met Thursday night to draw for the first move in the $300,000 series of 24 games.

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.

Fischer delayed the opening of the match which was to have begun last Sunday, in a holdout for more money. More prize money was donated, but Spassky then demanded a written apology for Fischer's conduct before the champion would play.
