Daley loses credentials fight, but court leaves door ajar for ArlcGovern WASHINGTON (L'PI) A federal appeals court refused today to uphold Sen. George S. McGovern's claim to 153 California delegates denied him by the Democratic Credentials Committee, but remanded the case to a lower court for further deliberation. The court overruled U.

S. District Court Judge deorge L. Hart who had upheld the Credenlials Committee action, and instructed Hart lo hold further hearings on the case. At Ihe same time, the appeals court issued an injunelion barring Mayor Richard J. Daley from bringing further action in Illinois slate courls to reinstate himself and 5S other members of that stale's delegation to the national convention starting Monday.

Soviets say Fischer planned use of computer to win By AN VESTERGREN REYKJAVIK. Iceland (UP!) The official Soviet news agency Tass said today American chess challenger Bobby Fischer planned to use a compute to try to be a I world champion Boris Spassky if the on again oK again match ever gets underway. The match was postponed for the second time Tuesday alter Spassky said Fischer insulted him by not showing up for the pre match ceremonies. Fischer, who won a two day postponement, did not attend because he was in New York bargaining for more prize money. If a solution is worked out, the 2 series could start Thursday.

"It has been learned in journalist circles here that Fischer's patrons have worked out raiiier original playing tactics for the match in which they were not guided by chess interests, Tass said. The news agency said Fischer's followers had worked out an arrangement with a computer center to transmit each move and the computer would calculate a counter move. In the California case, McGovern had brought suit before Hart in an effort lo overturn the credentials Committee decision stripping away 151 of the 271 delegates he won in that slale's winner lake all primary. Prior to Ihe credentials panel decision, McGovern had been verging on sufficient dele gale strength, primarily through the primary route, for a first ballot victory for the presidential nomination. On the Dale rose, the three judges of the U.

Appeals Court for Ihe of Columbia were unanimous in voting to bar the Chicao mayor from seeking a stale court order preventing Ihe sealing a group challenging his delegation. IN THE California ruling, the appeals court reversed Hart's rulinp; that he lacked jurisdiction on the delegate challenge and said the alter is hereby remanded to Ihe District Court for the District Columbia for further proceedings The Credenlials Committee, which ended an li day session Tuesday evening, had voted in a tumultuous session to apportion the California delegation in proportion to the votes McGovern and Sen. Hubert If. Humphrey ceived in the primary, rather ihan on the winner take all basis provided by stale law. The defegale seating panel also upheld a challenge to Ihe 5S mcniber Daley bloc of delegates on grounds it was constituted in violation of new party groundrulci in elfect this year.

Meanwhile, Ihe Credentials Committee completed ils pre convcnlion agenda and passed on fo the convention the job of seltlinp, 13 contests over Ihe sealing of hundreds of delegates. The fights the committee could not resolve iuc'uding the politically explosive ones from California and Illinois will almost incvilably provoke at the convention the bitterness that marked committee debates bet McGovern supporters and backers of his opponcr's. Minority reports, from persons who disagreed wilh the committee majority, have been filed from South Carolina, Gcaraia, Hawaii, Michigan. Alabama, Caliornia, Connecticut and Oklahoma, with two dissents from Rhode Island and three from Illinois. MANY of the dissents concern issues raised by Ihe mandate from the reform commission originally headed hy McGovern: that women, young people and minorities be represented at the convention in proportion to their population.

In the court fight over the Iiliunis and California challenges, Califano argued lhat lite parly may do as il wishes. To illustrate, he said some believe that scaling Daley and telling McGovern have the delegates he won would be (he shrewd political mo've. But, he said of Ihe party. it wants to push Ihe self destruct button on these issues, hat's ils 1st Amendment right." Arguing for McGovern forces in the California case, Attorney Joseph L. Rauii Jr.

said the party reforms recently instituted spccilically do not bar winner take all primaries. He claimed the committee had acted arbitrarily and uneon slilulionally in changing the rules on McGovern after lire primary..
