Wire Services WASHINGTON A divided federal appeals court Wednesday awarded 151 disputed California Democratic convention delegates to Sen George McGovern enhancing his chances of winning the

Tri city THE CITY had a population of 25000 before falling to the Communists Much of the city was destroyed by North Vietnamese shelling attacks prior to the fall The rest of it was heavily damaged by

reversal voted 4-2 Wednesday to allow demonstrators to camp in Flamingo Park during next Democratic National Convention The vote which came after a turbulent 6 -hour session followed recommendations by Police Chief Rocky Pomerance City Manager Clifford and Deputy Police Chief Ted Zanders of Washington DC an adviser to Pomerance that the 33-acre park be approved as a camping area Mayor Chuck Hall and Councilmen Leonard Haber Robert Goodman and Jerome Greene voted to allow camping in the park which is bounded by 15th Street between Michigan and Meridian Avenues on the north and 11 Street between Meridian and Lenox avenues on the south Staff Photo by DAVE DIDIO three-judge panel of the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overruled an action of the Democratic Credentials Committee which had voted to strip McGovern of 151 California nominating votes McGovern won all 271 California delegates in the June 6 primary decision reaffirms the choice of the California voters and the rules of the Democratic sgid McGovern in a statement issued through his Washington headquarters His political strategists said the court ruling would spell first-ballot nomination for McGovern when the Democratic National Convention chooses its man in one week McGovern also picked up strength in a 'unanimous companion ruling from the same three appeals judges They refused to overturn the Credentials decision to unseat an uncommitted contingent of 59 Illinois delegates headed by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley IN A SEPARATE action the appeals panel enjoined the Daley group from taking further action in Illinois state courts to block the challengers from taking their seats at the convention An issue in the California case was whether the win-ner-take-ail primary was in conflict with the 1968 mandate for party reform A commission headed by McGovern specifically rejected proposals to forbid that method of delegate selection and all the candidates in the primary including Humphrey said they had no quarrel with that conclusion In arguing before the court the lawyers upholding the Credentials Committee action urged that judges stay out of the political arena and leave the final decision up to the Miami Beach Convention But the judges rejected that contention and upheld argument that it was too late to change the ground rules If the party had banned winner-take-all primaries before Californians voted June 6 the judges said candidates might have campaigned in a different manner devoting more or less time and resources to the and the outcome might have been different THE OPINION declared that the Party did not merely interpret one of its rules in essence it acted in defiance of its own rules as interpreted in the call for the 1972 convention by establishing retroactively an entirely new and unannounced standard of conduct fundamental basis of our action is the grave injury done to the fairness and legitimacy of the process of electing the

decision to give back to Sen George McGovern 151 of the delegates he won in the California primary fell short of being the final word in the matter The Democratic Party hierarchy and anti-McGovern forces seem to think that the full convention just might decide to disobey the court anyway and get away with it McGovern forces on the other hand say the convention just go against the court rulings And the questions probably still will apply no matter what happens when the matter goes to the Supreme Court SEN HUBERT Humphrey a prime mover the challenge to the winner-take-all procedure in California suggested that the convention still could split the 271 votes in effect overriding the courts He was one of the chief beneficiaries in the original delegate shift not a lawyer a political man my judgment that the convention is the judge of its own Humphrey said at his home in Waverly Minn He said there is a 50-50 chance the convention would uphold the California decision but conceded
