Counci everses 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 said 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 next 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 winner-take-all 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

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 in 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 It's my
