George McGovern are seeking to win back in the courts the 151 California delegates they lost in the Democratic Credentials Committee.

A suif was filed with the U.S. District Court in Washington asking a restraining order to prevent the revised California delegation from being seated at the Democratic convention, which opens July-10 at Maimi Beach. A hearing was scheduled this morning before Dist. Court Judge George L. Hart Jr.

The suit alleges that the Credentials Committee- acted unconstitutionally when Match iii doubt government's fiscal operations and Nixon could not veto the Social Security increase without killing the entire bill. The Social Security increase also provides for future automatic hikes linked; to increases in the cost of living. Nixon praised this aspect as providing a hedge against inflation for older Americans. Nixon Saturday also signed legislation to provide an additional $200 million in disaster relief which will be used primarily to offset damage from Tropical Storm Agnes in ffve Eastern states. Another bill signed into law will increase monthly benefits for disabled veterans by 10 per cent, starting Aug.

The increases will go into effect automatically for the 28.1 million persons who "are covered; McGovern would retain 120 votes, but the loss of the 151 delegates posed a major setback in his hopes to win the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot.

McGovern, still the easy front-runner with 1,276.9 committed votes with 1,509 needed for nomination, indicated yester- day he would be willing to compromise on the challenges to the California delegation, which he lost, and to the Illinois delegation which his forces won.

"If I thought it would serve the of a stronger party and heal sonfc of these wounds and not do any violence to --the rules of the party, I would support a compromise," he said on ABC's "Issues Answers" program. McGovern again expressed confidence the convention would overturn the committee's recommendation on the California "The convention is going to be fair." McGovern said. "It is going to be the most-open, the least-bossed, convention in American history." In an effort to beef up his strength in advance of Miami Beach, McGovern said he will seek a meeting with AFL-CIO President George Meany thisweek. Meany is officially uncommitted in the race for the nomination, although he is considered a supporter of Sen. Edmund S.
