10" A TI1E ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, July 5, 1972 Miller Youth Corps Fills Benning meeting to elect 13 at-large delegates and do these other things was bothering us very much," he said. MiHer said challenging factions had been notified of the compromise move and some expressed outright support of it. Others have reserved support to give the plan further study, he said. The executive secretary said a great deal of effort to reach the compromise was put forth not only by party leadership, but by "persons who did not agree with the party leadership but felt Georgia ought to go down there (Miami Beach) in as harmonious a mood as we possibly could go." 7L 1 Vietnam had argued that the land was worth between $900,000 and $1 million.

"This minority plank will have to be voted on by the full convention," Miller said, "but it satisfies, for the time, what the credentials committee wanted us to do. I think it would have been agreed upon by the credentials committee, if it were still in session." The committee adjourned Tuesday night after hearing a week of challenges which were highlighted by the Georgia dispute. Miller said credentials officials had indicated to him that they were anxious to adjourn, and felt that a total reconsideration cf Georgia's plight would "open a whole can of worms to reconsider California, Illinois and everywhere else." The official said he and Kirbo had been on the telephone "almost constantly" since the original credentials action last week. "Like most compromises, it won't be satisfactory completely to either group," Miller said. "But I think this is a common ground we can meet on now." In supporting the challenges to Georgia's delegation makeup, the credentials panel last week ruled that the state's Democrats must lect 13 more at-large delgates, replace two First District delegates with blacks and add a delegate each to the Fourth and Fifth districts.

Under the compromise announced Tuesday, no delegates need be replaced, the 13 new at-large delegates would not be necessary, and only four brand-new delegates need to be elected. Moreover, Miller said, the Fourth and Fifth district delegate vote would not be diluted, since the modified plan gives their new delegates a whole vote each. Miller said Fourth and Fifth district officials have been given the go-ahead to caucus anytime between now and the convention. He said the election of the additional delegate to use the remaining half vote could be done by telephone. "The prospect of having a last-minute COLUMBUS, Ga.

"But I don't think there is any personal animosity between them," Dr. Euwe said. "They want just to be good friends." The postponement was the second of the 24-game series which originally was scheduled to start Sunday. It was first postponed until Tuesday because Fischer demanded more money.

It was postponed Tuesday after Spassky said Fischer had insulted him by not showing up in time for play to begin Sunday. "By this, Fischer insulted me personally and the Chess Federation of the USSR which I represent," Spassky, 35, said.

Califano supporting the credentials committee decision as counsel to the Democratic National Committee, maintained that the convention, and thus its committee, was "the supreme ruling body of the Democratic party" and can deal with seating challenges as it wishes.

"It is for the Democratic party to interpret its own rules," he argued. "The credentials committee has done its best to interpret those rules. For the courts to step in and interpret the rules would make it a whole new ball game." In the Daley Case, Jerome H. Torshen, attorney for alderman Thomas Keane who brought the action, maintained that the Democratic committee members "cannot superimpose their will on our electorate" by denying seats to the winners of the Illinois primary in the nine districts involved. Responding to the charge that the Daley slates had been put together at closed meetings in which non organization Democrats could not participate, Torshen said cf the Chicago leaders who held the meetings: "They're entitled to band together." In their questions from the bench, the judges expressed concern that any decision they handed down in the Chicago case might be vitiated, at least in part, by a pending Illinois state court action in which the Daley forces are seeking an injunction against the challengers who unseated them as a result of the committee's vote.

But the court decisions in both cases will undoubtedly carry considerable weight with many of the Democratic delegates when Ithey are voting their choice in the convention next week. The California case, if the committee's -decision is sustained by the court and toe convention, could cost McGovern enough to deny him nomination on the first ballot and 'stall his drive beyond that point. In the Chicago decision, however, he picked up 40 or 50 delegates. Arguing to return the disputed California Relegates to McGovern, Joseph L.

Rauh Jr. said that all the presidential candidates had acted in reliance on the winner-take-all system, which had been approved by a state re-form commission, the Democratic state committee, the state legislature and the Democratic national chairman. "It would really be a dastardly act after ill of that reliance to say that they can now change the rules retroactively," Rauh told the court IX-priving McGovern of 151 delegates, he added, constituted "power politics Rithout any deference of any kind to the rule 200 CT.
