Circuit Court of Appeals here today handed a victory to the forces of Sen. George McGovern in their battle with the Democratic Credentials Committee for California delegates. At the same time, forces of Chicago. Mayor Richard J. Daley were given a setback by the court in their attack on another of the committee's hotly disputed decisions.

The appeal court reversed a district court decision which had upheld the committee's stripping 151 delegates from California. The circuit court ordered the district bench to rewrite its decision in the California State Court Action Barred The Circuit Court rejected the appeal of Daley's forces in one case. In two other cases the court directed that state court action be prohibited insofar as it concerns the delegates from Illinois which were rejected by the committee. The brief orders of the ap- California peal court carried no rasons for the action, but the judges were expected to file opinions later in the day. The district court on Monday ruled that the federal judgidiciary had no place in the debate over delegates from the two states.

While the full scope of the circuit court's ruling was not known in the absence of a written opnion, it was clear that the judges felt federal court action should be taken in the two cases. The Credentials Committee had issued decisions that stripped Sen. George S. McGovern of 151 California delegates and told Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other uncommitted Chicago delegates to stay home.

The Circuit Court action came at a time when forces of Mayor daley had a scheduled court appearance in Illinois state court in which they sought to prevent the successful Illinois delegate challeng. ers from taking part in the convention. Review The committee decisions were likened to a "self-destruct button" by the party's lawyer Tuesday even as he fought to uphold them before the appeal court. Party counsel Joseph A. Califano told the three judges that federal courts have no business in the party's business.

His argument echoed the decision of a U.S. District Court which prompted the Fourth of July appeal. McGovern and Daley forces appealed in their fight to overturn committee decisions which ousted 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley, and ripped the winner-take-all prize of the California presidential primary from McGovern to award the state's delegates proportionately among candidates according to their percentage of the vote. Meanwhile the Credentials Committee completed its preconvention agenda and passed on to the convention the job of settling 13 contests over the seating of hundreds of delegates. The fights the committee could not.

resolve. including the politically explosive ones California and Illinois from will almost inevitably provoke at the convention the bitterness that marked committee debates between McGovern supporters and backers of his opponents. Minority reports, from persons who disagreed with the committee majority, have been filed from South Carolina, Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Alabama, California. Connecticut and Oklahoma, with two dissents from Rhode Island and three from Illinois. Representation at Issue Many of the dissents concern issues raised by the mandate from the reform commission originally headed by McGovern: That women, young people and minorities be represented at the convention in proportion to their population.

The Visel car, with five occupants, rolled down a steep embankment following the impact, pinning all inside. The Howard Twp. Fire Department was called to the scene when one of the cars caught fire.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) American chess challenger Bobby Fischer apologized today for delaying the start of the world championship match with Russian Boris Spassky but a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation threatened to cancel the 24-game series.

The Russian chess group cabled Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, demanding that Fischer be ordered to forfeit the first game because he did not abide by an agreement which said both players must show up within one hour of the scheduled game time "If the Russians insist on this penalty I believe the whole match is off," said Euwe.

The demand from the Russian Chess Federation followed soon after representatives of Spassky said they had broken off talks with Fischer's representatives.

Euwe said the telegram arrived shortly after Fischer apologized for being late. Speaking of the Russian decision to break off the talks, Euwe said, "This is a very bad development and, I am now very pessimistic about the match." Fischer, 29, arrived in Reykjavik early Tuesday. The Icelandic Chess Federation had rejected his demand for 30 per cent of the gate receipts, but he agreed to come after a London investment banker doubled the $125,000 purse which he and Spassky were to divide..
