But, he said of the party, "If It wants to push the self-destruct button on these issues, that's its 1st Amendment right." Arguing for McGovern forces In the California case, attorney Joseph Rauh Jr. said the party reforms recently instituted specifically do not bar winner-take-all primaries. He claimed the committee had acted arbitrarily and unconstitutionally in changing fhe rules on McGovern after the primary. Successors to the ousted Illinois delegates were selected in meetings in the states congressional districts.

Original selection was by popular vote of Illinois Democrats. The challengers are "new backroom bosses selected by losers" in the election, claimed Jerome Torshen, at torney for Daley forces. The Credentials Committee held that the Daley slate under-represented blacks, women and youth, and was compiled at closed meetings. The ousted delegates go to court in Illinois today in an attempt to prevent the successful challengers from attending the convention. McGovern emerged from the Credentials Committee votes with a net loss of 105.5 delegates.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey picked up lit and Sen. Ed-' mund Muskie gained 2.5. Most of these seats are still being contested.

The court said the Ink-rests of the political candidates, the voters and the state of California were substan tial. "But the fundamental lasis of our' action is the grave Injury to the fairness and legitimacy of tlx process of electing the president of the United States," the court's opinion continued. The court said that It may well he that the winner-take all kind of election is not as fair as a proportional allocation of delegates. "But there can he no dispute that the very Integrity of tlx? process rests on the assumption tluat dear rules will he established and that, once established, they wilU forced fairly, consistently apd without discrimination as long as they remain in force." Many of the dissents concern issues raised by the mandate frpm the reform commission originally headed by McGovern; that women, young people and minorities be represented at the convention In proportion to their population. In the court fight over the Illinois and California challenges, Califano argued that the party may do as it wishes.

To illustrate, fie said some believe that seating Daley and letting McGovern have the delegates he won would be the shrewd political move. WASHINGTON (AP) The U. S. Circuit Court today reversed the Democratic Credentiafs Committee and declared the party' action "null and in stripping Sen. -George McGovern of 151 California convention delegates.

-r- The lengthy opinion ly the appeals owrt declared that the expulsion of the 151 California delegates "was inconsistent with fundamental principles of due process." The losers are expected to ask Chief Justice Warren Burger to call the Supreme Court, which adjourned last week, into a special summer session to hear appeals. A copy of the circuit court's opinion was dispatched to Burger's office. He will have to contact the vacationing justices before deciding on a special session. The court has been called into special session only three times in its history. Meanwhile, attorneys for Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley's forces, whose ouster was upheld by the circuit court, filed a motion asking the circuit cdurt to stay its own action. The appeals court directed the district court to write an order pre-i venting the party from "excluding these elected California delegates because of their selection in a take-all primary." The circuit court opinion noted that Democratic party reform guidelines while urging representation of minority yiews "explicitly stops short of abolishing the winner-take-all provision." "The understanding that winner-take-al! was still a viable concept for the 1972 convention was also reflected in "the Call for the 1972 Democratic National Convention" the court said.
