San Antonio Rockefeller, Other Top Kepublicaiis Yield to Minorities (C) NEW YORK TIMES SERVICE NEW Nelson A. Rockefeller and other top New York Republicans will give up their Republican National delegate-at-large seats to women, youths. Negroes i and Puerto Ricans in an eP fort to increase the representation of these groups in the New York delegation. The Republican officials are following the lead of the Democrats, who have i ease the of women, youths and minority group representatives at their convention. The G.O.P.

move would also blunt anticipated Democratic charges in the fall presidential campaign that Republicans have failed to recognize these groups. The governor and other top New York Republicans will still attend the national convention, which opens Aug. a a Republican state committee meeting in Albany Wednesday. That title will give them access to the convention hall and of the New York Reublican delegates but they will not be permitted on the convention floor or to vote on the nominations of the national ticket or the party platform. The honorary delegates, in addition to Rockefeller, will include Lt, Gov.

Malcolm Gen. Louis J. Lefkowitz, the two senators, Jacob K. Javits and James L. Buckley, Earl Brydges.

the outgoing state Senate majority leader, and George L. Hinman, the state's Republican national committeeman. Their lack of a vote at the convention will have little impact since no major controversy is expected at the Republican conclave. President Nixon and his choice for vice president are virtually certain to be nominated. In addition, control of the New York party is still so strong that the 88 delegates are likely to fol'low his bidding whether he has a vote or not.

governor was anxious to have adequate and fair representation for young people, women and minority Lt. Gov. ilson said in a telephone interview'. Rockefeller has asked for such of the 78 delegates who were elected in the congressional district primaries June 20. Two were elected from each of the 39 congressional districts.

only 17 of the 78 elected delegates are women, although 43 of the 78 alternate delegates are female. The 10 delegates-at-large will be ajipointed at the state committee meeting on J'he New Republicans are still not likely to meet the gtials set by the national Republican delegates and organizations committee, which was set up by the 1968 Republican national convention. That committee has recommended that each state to have equal representation of men and in its delegation and to include delegates under 25 in equity to their voting in the state. At least 10 cent of the voters in this state fall into that age category. However, these recommendations are not binding on the states since they must be approved at the August convention.

The New York delegation to the Democratic National Convention, which opens July 10, will have a representation of 48 per cent women, 25 per cent under 30 years of age, 13 per cent black and 6 per cent Puerto Rican.

Fischer however, dmcs not believe in doctors, nor.
