All of a sudden, after it was over, a challenge was the convention seats were actually denied. They returned to the legal battleground after the commit- tee voted 71 to 61 to seat the Daley challengers. The California controversy was argued first in Harts courtroom. Joseph L.

A federal judge Monday upheld a by the Democratic Credentials Committee that stripped Sen.

also sustained the committees order unseating Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 of his followers from the Illinois convention delegation. The judge had announced before ruling that the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington had arranged to hear further arguments Tuesday no matter what his decisions were. Hart said the question of whether a winner-take-all pri- '''vmrK Tr A- 'A Ay i 'V mary was fair was "something to, be determined by the convention itself and is not a matter for this court."

Hart also rejected the Democratic National Committees request for a counter injunction against an Hlinois state court, which is to rule Wednesday on a Daley request for an order barring the convention from seating the anti-Daley challengers as directed by the Credentials Committee, Attorneys for both unseated groups asked Hart to issue an injunction blocking their expulsion. McGovern, front-runner for the nomination but still shy of the 1,509 votes needed for victory, had a major stake in the two cases. In addition to the 153 delegates stripped from him in California, 41 of those who replaced uncommitted Daley supporters in the Chicago delegation were pledged to McGoverns cause. It marked the second time the Chicago issue was before Hart.

Prior to the credentials committee vote in favor of the challengers, he ruled last week in Daleys favor on grounds the party could not require the voting public to comply with a quota in choosing delegates.

LARRABEE NEWS Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The benign presidential campaign of Edmund S. Muskie is poised like a Fourth of July skyrocket waiting for ignition at Miami Beach next week.

However, Icelandic officials and Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), said they could not confirm the report. The radio said Fischers lawyer, Paul Marshall, had contacted wealthy British investment banker Jim Slater, who offered earlier Monday to double the prize money to $250,000 to entice the 29-year-old, unpredictable American to play the 24-game series against the Russian world champion. I have beard nothing of this, but I have heard there are some stories in the London newspapers about this, Dr.

Euwe said. At the same time, he expressed fear that Spassky may not play, although he said he had no definite indications from the Russians. -He said he based this on Spasskys statement Monday, in which the world champion said he had never given permission for the match to be postponed. This money is more than the 30 per cent of the gate receipts Fischer has asked for in addition to the prize money and I do hope that he will now decide to come here and play, Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), said.

The offer was communicated to Paul G. Marshall, a lawver representing Fischer in New York where the 29-year-old chess star was in hiding, Icelandic Radio said. Marshall was not immediately available for comment.

We were then becalmed for the next 12 days, Sproul said. During this time, the Topsy was making 100-110 miles a day on its voyage.

The skipper said he was still on course Sunday when the Coast Guard spotted them, We had so little left of the rudder," he said that they didnt want to risk navigating the rocky coast.

Sproul didnt even bemoan the loss of the ships dinghy, believing that he was on a much better lifeboat than anything Topsy could carry. The ultimate goal for the skipper is to rig Topsy into a staysail schooner. Its much easier to charter it this way, he explained, and will take away the 28-foot boom that becomes quite a club in rough weather.
