Judge George L. Hart Jr. held that in both the politically sensitive cases the committee had not committed any unconstitutional act that w-arranted court intervention. He emphasized the reluctance of the courts to enter "the political tmcKet" of such decisions. Hart ruled that the committee had been within its rights in unseating the Daiev delegation, but he declined to say whether its replacement by a largely pro-McGovern contingent, chosen in unofficial caucuses, was legal.

Both cases will be carried to the United States Court of Appeals for a hearing and decision Monday. No matter how that court rules, the ultimate decision in both instances will be made by the Democratic National Convention when it meets in Miami Beach next Monday. All the parties are anxious for.a favorable ruling, however, because a high court decision wrould be a potent weapon in convention debate, even if it did not directly control the delegates' final resolution of the cases. McGovern's prospects for a first-ballot victory hang on the California decision, and. to a lesser extent, on Illinois.

In the first case, he lost 151 delegates to other candidates: in the second, he gained at least 41 and perhaps 50 with the replacement of the Chicago delegation. Two weeks ago. Hart had found unconstitutional two of the reform guidelines invoked against the Daiev delegation those calling for women, young people and blacks to be represented in convention delegations in approximate proportion to their share of each state's population. He repeated that ruling Monday, but found that two ether guidelines that were constitutional had bees violated by the Daley organization, thus justifying the commirtee in ordering tire Chicago dele gates' expulsion. The guidelines were those requiring all state parties to adopt rules for delegate selection and make them accessible and to hold open.

164 aides of Democratic senators and representatives made public a joint letter to Sen. Hubert II. Humphrey in which they protested his action in bringing the California challenge, which they said went against "vour decency and commitment to fair play." "We urge that you reflect now upon the grievous damage you are doing not only to your own image as a kind and honorable man but also the party which you have done so much to shape and strengthen in the past." the aides wrote, emphasizing that they were speaking for themselves and not their employers.

Hart indicated personal sympathy but no legal assistance for the candidate who lost delegates as a result of the committee's vote on Thursday. "It might not he cricket to change the rules, it might even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutional? he asked. Under the California decision, the 271 delegates that McGovern won in the primary were divided among Sen. Hubert H.
