McGovern, prompting his forces to claim first-ballot-victory strength at the Democratic Convention in Miami Beach. However, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, late Wednesday suspended the effect of that ruling and another involving Illinois delegates until 2 p.m.

Thursday to give the parties a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court. In addition to the California delegate action, the court upheld a party Credentials Committee ruling which ousted Chicago Mayor J. Daley and 58 other Illinois convention delegates and blocked any state court action that would interfere with the federal decision. An appeal to the Supreme Court s-till is possible for the the Democratic National Committee and pro-Daley forces. Adjourns Discussions Stalemated with strong objections to the JL Rick Stearns, McGovern's chief delegate marshal, said McGovern now has 1,541.5 delegate votes, enough to assure a first-ballot nomination.

If the circuit court ruling stands, The Associated Press delegate count would place McGovern's strength at 1,436.65, less than 100 short of the 1,509 delegate votes needed for nomination. Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota has 392.55 by the count, Alabama Gov. George Wallace has 381 and Maine's Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie has 225.55. Some delegates officially classified as uncommitted, however, have said they are leaning to McGovern. The Credentials Committee stripped McGovern of the California delegates by deciding to apportion them among all can didates by the amount of votes each received in a presidential primary.

The majority opinion In the 2-1 California decision declared that the "Democratic Party did not merely interpret one of its rules in essence, it acted in defiance of its own 'rules as in terpreted in the call for the 1972 convention by establishing retroactively an entirely new and unannounced standard of conduct." The losers in both cases fol lowed usual legal practice and asked the circuit court to stay the effect of its ruling. They are expected also to ask Chief Justice Warren E. Burger to call the Supreme Court, which adjourned last week, into session to hear appeals. Before the court could hear the cases, Burger would have to summon vacationing justices for a special session of which there have been only three in history.

The circuit court directed the U.S. District Court which originally heard the cases to write an order declaring the Credentials Committee action on California null and void and enjoin ing any further action against the McGovern delegates based on the winner-take-all issue.

(AP) The legislature adjourned Wednesday without making any progress, toward a state budget for the new fiscal year or toward anything else. The House gave up first, ad journing until Thursday morn ing without taking any votes.

The joint conference committee charged with designing a budget settlement followed suit minutes later, recessing until Thursday morning after the barest of discussions of the state's financial problems.

The hijackers had held 79 passengers and five crew members captive in the 737 jetliner for more than six hours on a runway at San Francisco International Airport, demanding $800,000 cash, two parachutes and passage to Siberia, PSA said. FBI special agent-in-charge Robert Gebhardt said that after the two hijackers refused to re lease passengers, FBI agents entered the plane. One was dressed as a pilot, Gebhardt said, and was carry ing the ransom money and parachutes. He said one of the hijackers ordered the agent to strip to his underwear to chow1 he was unarmed.

The first agent entered the plane, Gebhardt said, and was followed by three other agents who had landed from a power boat behind the plane and reached the ramp under the fuselage. Gebhardt said the first hijacker, who was armed with two handguns, was shot dead by the second agent to enter the plane. He said the second hijacker opened fire from the ireafu of the plane, hitting three passengers before he, too, was shot down by an FBI man. The dead passenger was Iden tified as E. H.

They stormed the aircraft and In the ensuing melee, the hijackers were shot and the passengers injured." 1 "Certainly we're not pleased that three passengers were wounded, but somebody had to make a decision. We wanted to stop the hijacking, and stop it we did," Gebhardt said. Pierre Messmer explain how perfectly legal tax loopholes enabled him to pay only minimal income tax for several years.

What it means is that claimants who turned in their tickets at any one of 20 state liquor stores that were flooded will have to present their receipt at a liquor store, along with a notarized affidavit that they filed the original claim. State liquor stores statewide are collection points for lottery claims. Henry Kaplan, the lottery's executive director, said he had no idea how many claims were involved.

Within minutes, the two Republican conferees were asked to leave, while the four Democrats decided on a strategy. After an hour, the Republicans were called back, but only to be told that the GOP's budget suggestions were "unacceptable," according to Rep. Jack Seltzer, R-Lebanon. Senate Appropriations chair man Benjamin Donoiow, u- Philadelphia, described the conference committee's work as "slow." He said that although there had been "some progress," there were "no agreements on anything." House Appropriations chair man Martin P. Mullen, D-Phila- delphia, sunburned after the legislature's July 4th break, was unavailable for comment.

He is chairman of the conference committee. Sen. Newell Wood, R-Lu-zerne, one of the conferees, called the session "exploratory." "Nobody came up with any ideas that seemed to have the blessings of those assembled," Wood said. He added there was "no disagreement but lack of any agreement." He said no one put forward any substantive proposals that were debated. "Most of the things that were suggested were not In the spirit of serious consideration but to get them on the table," he said.

The instructions from the Army administered Military Traffic Management Terminal Service (MTMTS) applied to the head taxes that went into effect July 1 at five airports, but Philadelphia's was the only one through which large volumes of military traffic are funneled regularly. The Philadelphia tax was also the most severe $2 a person, levied not only on departing passengers but on arriving passengers as well. Taxes of $1 on each departing passenger went into effect also last Saturday at Richmond, Huntsville, Sarasota-Bradenton, and Saginaw, Mich. Four states and more than a dozen cities are considering similar taxes.

Thousands of passengers refused to pay the charges, and instead filled out refusal forms that presumably would result in subsequent civil action to collect. MTMTS sent out notices to its transportation officers around 753 Traffic Deaths Set July 4 Record By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Holiday traffic aecidents took a record number of lives for an Independence Day weekend. Authorities reported that 758 persons were killed on the nation's highways during the four-day observance which began at 6 p.m. Friday and ended at midnight Tuesday. The previous record for a Fourth of July weekend was 732 in 1967 when the holiday also ran four days.

The count last year, a three-day observance, was 638. The National Safety Council had estimated In advance that 800 to 900 persons might be killed during the 102 hours of this year's holiday. PHILADELPHIA (AP) Ar- len Specter, a tough law and order district attorney, asked eight types of murder, in cluding killings committed during kidnappings and hijacks. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court, in a controversial 5-4 decision, called the death penaltyas presently imposed In those states which still impose it cruel and unusual punishment that is illegal under the Constitution.

But the majority of justices indicated in individual opinions that death might be a proper sentence in certain cases, and Specter moved to get that legal authority. President Nixon, whose four appointees to the Supreme Court supported capital punishment, said he hoped laws would be passed by states permitting death in kidnap and hijack cases. First degree murders that Specter said should carry a death sentence are those: perpetrated in the course of kidnapping. resulting from the hijack of an airplane, train, bus, ship.

PARIS (AP) President Georges Pompidou fired Jacques Chaban-Delmas, his premier for three years, after a series of scandals rocked the unity of the Gaullist party.

With legislative elections due before next march, Pompidou then on Wednesday appointed hard-line Gaullist Pierre Mes-smer, 56, to form a new government likely to include many of the leading figures of the outgoing administration. Its composition is expected to be announced Thursday or Friday. Messmer, minister for overseas territories under Chaban-Delmas, served for nine years as defense minister for President Charles de Gaulle under Pompidou's premiership. Like Chaban-Delmas, one of the first to rally to De Gaulle's Free France movement in 1940, Messmer was a founder of a pressure group designed to press its view of Gaullist orthodoxy after the general resigned in 1969. Chaban-Delmas, whose dynamic war effort made him a brigadier-general at the age of 29, became premier when Pompidou succeeded De Gaulle as president.

His more liberal interpretation of Gaullism and calls for a "new society" led to early clashes with the orthodox wing of the party. But the real pressure on his post came in the last few months. A series of financial scandals exploded Involving Gaullist deputies or close associates. Chaban-Delmas, 57, went on television nationwide to August because of the loss of the 60 million reserve supply of tickets. "But that was before we heard from all the state stores," Kaplan said.
