DAILY 2tTEfts, Fk'rolY, JUlly 7, By JEFFREY ANTEVIL Washington, July 6 (NEWS Bureau) Chief Justice Warren E. Burger put a freeze today on the disputed Democratic National Convention delegates from California and Illinois, in order to give the Supreme Court time to decide whether to hear appeals. California and Illinois forces opposing the nomination of Sen. George McGovern had asked the Supreme Court earlier today to convene a rare session and reverse the lower court's decision depriving them of their seats. Pending that decision, Burger issued a stay of the lower court's Dakota senator's hopes for a first-ballot nomination in Miami Beach next week.

Challenging the appeals court's action in the California case, lawyers for the Democratic National Committee asserted in their high court brief that the lower court judges had "thrown the country into a cnstitutional crisis" by interfering with the political process. They asked Burger to call the vacationing justices together in order to reinstate the Democratic credentials committee's decision which awarded Calilornia's convention votes in proportion to the showing of each candidate (Continued on page 37, col. 1) The delegates, 153 from California and 59 from Illinois, including Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, were appealing a U.S. Appeals Court ruling yesterday which awarded all 271 California delegates to McGovern and seated a group of Illinois insurgents, most of them McGovern supporters, in place of the Daley regulars. The nearly 200 McGovern votes involved in the challenge could be decisive to the South rulings.

The action temporarily delayed the lower-court ruling giving the contested seats to more solidly pro-McGovern delegations in each state in place of the ousted dele gates. If the high court refuses to hear the appeals, the lower-court ruling would stand. An announcement will not come at least until tomorrow, a court spokesman said. Warren E.

"The FBI had a well-thought-out plan, and it is obvious to me that it would have succeeded except for the one hijacker going berserk," said J. Floyd Andrews, president of Pacific Southwest Airlines. One passenger complained of lack of security measures at the airport where the flight began, although the airline said security measures were taken.

FBI agent-in-charge Robert Gebhardt, described by the FBI in San Francisco as having made the decision to rush the plane, said: "I hope this will be a lesson.

Fischer had delayed the opening of the match, scheduled for July 2, by haggling with the Icelandic Chess Federation over the proceeds of the match. The stalemate over the money was broken unexpectedly Tuesday when British banker Robert Byrne i an international chete grandmaster. James Slater, an avid chess fan, offered to contribute $125,000 to the prize fund.

Fischer then left New York for Reykjavik. Slater's doubling of the original purse put up by the Icelanders will give the winner and the loser $93,750 the biggest purse ever for a championship chess match. Spassky, showing the strain of waiting out the pregame gambits, requested a delay of his own to repair his frayed nerves. Lothar Schmidt of West Germany, the head referee, granted the request and set the first game for 5 p.m. Tuesday at Laugardalshoell.

After Fischer and, Spassky met tonight for By ROBERT BYRNE Special Correspondent of The News Reykjavik, Iceland, July 6 Bobby Fischer, debonair in a pale green suit, pointed to Boris Spassky's closed left hand tonight and discovered he had selected the black pawn concealed in it. That meant that Spassky, who smiled slightly as he opened his hand, will have the first move in the first game Tuesday of the 24-game world championship match. The draw was made as Fischer, the American challenger, and Spassky, the Soviet world champion, stood face to face on the stage of the Laugardalshoell, Reykjavik's sport exhibition palace. But it was done in the same manner as park bench chess players, with Spassky taking a black pawn and a white pawn In each hand, juggling them behind his back and extending his closed hands to Fischer. Fischer, the 29-year-old temperamental chess genius from Brooklyn, and Spassky, 35, of Moscow, met for the draw after Fischer sent a handwritten letter of apology to Spassky this morning.
