At the request of Joseph A. Califano counsel for the Democratic National Committee, the appeals court stayed its order to U.S. District Judge George L. Hart until 2 p.m. today.

CALIFANO SAID he would ask Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to put the appeal before the entire court, which is in summer recess. Under the high court's rules, Burger could order a further stay in the appeals court decision without consulting his colleagues. Precedent indicates he would not grant a stay without assurance that at at least three other members of the court would hear arguments in the From Wirt Dispatches WASHINGTON A federal a al court yesterday sustained Sen. George McGovern's claim to all of California's 271 delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention opening in Miami Beach Monday.

However, the U.S. of Appeals for the District of Columbia, later suspended the effect of that ruling and another involving Illinois delegates until 2 p.m. today to give the parties a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court. At the same time, the three-judge anel up held he Democratic Credentials Committee's decision ousting Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates.

Before the court accepts an appeal, four members must vote to hear it. Califano said he also would oppose an expected appeal by the Daley faction. McGOVERN HAILED his court victory as a reaffirmation of "the choice of the California voters and the rules of the Democratic party." He said he hoped the convention could now proceed "in a lawful, orderly and satisfactory manner." If the decision survives the Supreme Court review, it would give McGovem about 200 votes greatly enhancing his chances of a first-ballot i for the presidential nomination. But before the voting, there probably will be a bitter first-night credentials battle on the convention floor. McGOVERN'S AIDES said their delegate count including all of California's delegates gave McGovem votes.

The nomination requires 1,509 votes. THE APPEALS court panel reached its decision in the California case by a 2-1 vote. It overturned a district court ruling which had upheld the Credentials Committee's action in setting aside the results of California's June 6 primary because it was conducted on a winner-take-all basis. The panel's majority members, Chief Judge David L. Ba-zelon and Judge George E.

MacKinnon, held that expulsion of the California delegates was "inconsistent with the fundamental principles of due process" as laid down in the Constitution. This finding reversed the view of Judge Hart, who had held that no constitutional issues were involved. The appeals panel's decision in the Illinois dispute was unanimous. It agreed with Judge Hart that certain guidelines laid down by the a i a 1 Democratic party for selection of delegates had been violated in Chicago in the March 21 Illinois primary.

Humphrey's delegates to their side in the event of a floor fight over seating' of the California delegation at next week's Democratic National Convention. They also said they had seriously considered and then rejected the idea of challenging Humphrey's 38 a -1 a Ohio delegates as partial retaliation for having lost the first round in the California fight. The maneuvering may become moot because cf yesterday's U.S. District Court ruling in Washington reversing the California action, but it is indicative of the strong differences that exist between the McGov-ern and Humphrey forces within the Ohio delegation that could break out openly next week.

The effort has been led by Columbus attorney Robert B. McAlister, the McGovem Ohio co-ordinator, who said it falls short of an attempt to "raid" Humphrey delegates because it involves only a credentials vote and not the actual nomination. McAlister and Frank W. King, president of the Ohio AFL-CIO and leader of the Humphrey delegates in Ohio, agreed several weeks ago not to attempt to raid each other's delegates until they arrived in Miami Beach this coming weekend. King was en route to Florida and could not be reached for comment yesterday.

The maneuvering was prompted by last Thursday's vote in the Democratic Credentials Committee in Washington to strip McGovem of more than half the 271 delegates he had won in the "winner take all" California primary. Yesterday's court ruling reversed the committee, but a further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and a resultant convention floor fight still are possibilities. "There are more Hunphrey people (in Ohio) who are sympathetic to us on that issue," said McAlister. "Sen.

Humphrey didn't play by the rules and some of his people have been turned off by his position. I think we'll win some of them." One who was approached yesterday by McAlister was Mrs. Fran Ryan, a Columbus council-woman and co-chairman of the Humphrey delegation. She said McAlister approach was law-key and that she made no commitments. McAlister refused to estimate how many Humphrey converts he had lined up but he said even (Continued on Page 3) A -1 AP Wirephoto court intervention.

The court held that the Credentials Committee acted under "a clear and constitutional rule" when it unseated the Chicago delegation originally elected because the voters played only a limited role in selection of the slate presented by the Daley organization.

Apassenger also was killed and two were wounded when the FBI thwarted the attempt to hijack the plane to Russia with $800,000 ransom.

The first FBI agent gained entrance to the Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner by posing as a pilot, and he was followed aboard by a second agent who had been hiding beneath the plane. FBI agents surrounded the aircraft after it had sat on the evision actor Victor Sen Yung, 56. The FBI identified the hijackers as Dmitrov Alexev, 28, Hay-ward, and Michael D. A a 0 also 28, with no known address. THE AGENT posing as a pilot approached the plane with the ransom, parachutes and charts for a flight to the Soviet Union.

The hijackers demanded that he strip to his shorts to show he was not carrying a weapon. They allowed him to re-dress and enter the plane, not knowing he had a small pistol in a coat pocket. The agent entered the plane and was escorted toward the rear section by Azmanoff. Meanwhile, one of three agents hiding under the plane sneaked up the ramp, through the open door and confronted Aleev, who was in the cockpit. REYKJAVIK (UPI) Bobby Fischer surprised even his own advisers yesterday by formally apologizing to Russian Boris Spassky for delaying their world championship chess match.

But the president of the International Chess Federation admitted he was in the wrong, too, and said he would ask for a one week postponement. Dr. Max Euwe announced he would ask for another postponement during a news conference In which he agreed to Soviet demands to condemn Fischer's all over in Quang Tri SAIGON (UPI) South Vietnamese paratroopers and tank crews recaptured most of Quang Tri city yesterday. They carried with them a neatly folded flag and a warm bottle of champagne to use when Communists troops are forced from the rest of the bombed out provincial capital. Military sources said the 1,200 soldiers set up a command post at Quang Tri's railroad station, then fanned out into adjacent residential and business areas, where they met light resistance from Communists who had controlled the city and its surrounding province since May 1.

While South Vietnamese troops in Quang Tri city reported little opposition, government guarding the force's flanks reported two sharp clashes with the North Vietnamese. Most of the strike force stayed clear of the 19th century citadel in the city's center where they believed North Vietnamese snipers might be dug-in. Military sources said Quang Tri city would not be declared recaptured until the citadel was in government hands. In the air war, the U.S. command said American fighter-bombers made 320 raids over North Vietnam Tuesday, the most strikes in a single day since June 27.

The North Vietnamese said one U.S. F4 Phantom jet was downed in the raids near the capital city of Hanoi, but the U.S. command refused comment. The North Vietnamese capture of Quang Tri province and its capital was the biggest victory of their three-month-old offensive, which began March 30.

Geller said he knew "Spassky would not accept that point as a gift," indicating the world champion would decline the forfeiture if it were offered. EUWE SAID the Russians made their demand in a cable citing paragraph 5 of the so-called Amsterdam Agreement for the match in which both sides agreed a player still missing after one hour of game time hp.s expired for feits the game and point to his opponent.

"The Russians did not object. Sunday when 1 postponed the game and now 1 cannot make such a ruling" Euwe said. He had delayed the start of the match until Tuesday when Fischer, holding out for money money, failed to appear for the scheduled opening Sunday. Fischer, 29,, the challenger, finally arrived early Tuesday after a chess-playing English financier doubled the prize to $250,000. With Fischer still resting up for the opening match Tuesday afternoon, Spassky, 35, arrived at a meeting called to draw lots for the right to make the first play, threw down a statement, saying Fischer "must bear just penalty" for his behavior and walked out.

The match was delayed a second time until Thursday.

Though declining to make a direct appeal for consumers to buy chicken and fish, Shultz said consideration will be given to pointing up their prices in comparison with beef.

WASHINGTON (AP) Treasury Secretary met with 16 supermarket executives yesterday, then predicted an early drop in meat prices. "We're not talking about years, we're talking about months and perhaps weeks," Shultz said. Though rejecting the idea of imposing price controls on producers, Shultz said a number of other ideas were suggested at the meeting and will be investigated. Shultz said the meeting with supermarket executives was a direct outgrowth of announcements Inst week that import limits on meat would be lifted and price controls extended to The FBI said Alexev, who had a pistol in each hand, raised the weapons and was shot twice in the chest with shotgun blasts.

The second hijacker then opened fire in the rear of the plane, striking the three passengers before he emptied his automatic.
