Victory for McGovern, But Party Split Widened Dems Bounce Daley, 58 Other Delegates (AP)-The Democratic convention Credentials Committee voted Friday to unseat Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates to the national convention. The action was a victory for Sen. George McGovern who is expected to get at least 41 of the 59 delegates if the ruling is upheld by the convention in Miami Beach July 10. But like the credentials committee vote Thursday stripping McGovern of more than half the 271 California dele gates, the Illinois seating fight further widened the split in the convention between the McGovern forces and those opposing him.

McGovern delegates on the credentials committee voted solidly with the challengers while most of those committed to other candidates supported Daley. The Daley forces vowed to take their fight to retain their seats to the full vention and also to go into federal court in an effort to overturn the Credentials Committee decision. They won a II S. District Court ruling two weeks ago that the Democratic guidelines for selecting convention delegates violated Illinois election laws. A federal appellate court declined to hear the case until the committee had acted.

Daley attorneys said they would petition for a hearing in the Circuit Court of Appeals as soon as possible. The challenge to the Daley delegation was based on the new delegate- selection rules, which require states to provide adequate representation for women, youths and minority interests on their delegations. The vote was 71 to 61 defeating the Daley delegation. Of the 59 challenged Illinois delegates, 12 are black, 8 are young people and 6 are women. Chicago attorney Wayne Whalen, who presented the case said the manner in which the Daley delegation was put together flagrantly violated the guidelines.

South Viet Drive to Recapture Territory Meets Strong Resistance SAIGON (AP) South Vietnamese forces drove within three miles of Quang Tri City Friday and encountered sporadic enemy resistance that was strong at times as they fought to regain the northernmost territory.

President Nguyen Van Thieu visited the war zone and declared government troops would not stop their drive with the reconquest of the provincial capital but would the whole province of Quang The government task force continued to push forward as the drive entered its third day. The operation to retake the province that fell to the North Vietnamese two months ago has been termed by some U.S. officers. The Saigon command has reported more than 370 enemy troops killed in the three-day push to retake Quang Tri at a cost of about 20 government troops dead. The Viet liberation radio claimed Communist command forces killed more than 1,000 South Vietnamese troops and shot down seven aircraft in the first two days of the operation.

The South Vietnamese advance appeared to be moving according to schedule but was slowed somewhat by the absence of bridges spanning two rivers south of Quang Tri. Many of the bridges were destroyed by allied air strikes after the province fell. The South Vietnamese paratroopers moving toward the provincial capital were leapfrogged by helicopters over Bond Sales Near Quota With seven months to go, Waukesha County achieved 65.8 per cent of its 1972 quota in U.S. Savings Bond sales during May.

Skyjacker Informer to FBI Charged With It DETROIT (AP) The man who initially told the FBI he had unwittingly driven skyjacker suspect Martin McNally from Peru, to Detroit after an American Airlines 727 jet was hijacked last week has been charged with aiding and abetting in the crime, the FBI said Friday. Walter John Petlikowsky, 31, of Ecorse, has been charged direct participation with McNally in a plan to hijack American Airlines Flight 119 at St. Neil Welch, special agent in charge of the Detroit FBI, said Friday. McNally, 31, of Wyandotte, is being held in lieu of $100,800 bond on a charge of air piracy in the plot to hijack the plane for $502,000 ransom last week. The money and a machine gun allegedly used in the hijack were recovered in a field near Peru.

Petlikowsky, an unemployed house- painter, appeared before U.S. District Court Judge John Feikens and was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bond. He and McNally face a July 11 hearing on a government request that they be transferred to St. Louis for further proceedings. In announcing arrest, the FBI gave its fullest account yet what it believes happened before and after the hijacking and of the events leading up to the two arrests.

Petlikowsky and McNally together developed the plan to hijack a plane and made of trips to St. Louis to plan the crime, Welch said. He said St. IiOuis was chosen rather than Detroit, he said, because the men thought security was looser there and because they feared recognition here. The FBI continued: Petlikowsky drove McNally to St.

Louis June 22, where McNally boarded Flight 119, carrying the machine gun in an attache case. After he commandeered the plane on the ground, FBI agents came aboard dressed as mechanics but possible for them to stop the Welch said. When the plane took off, the pilot, unk- know to the hijacker, circled St. Louis a couple of times. Welch said McNally had made extensive airspeed-time-distance calculations with equipment found in a search of his house.

The FBI agent said McNally had planned to jump near Monroe, but the time spent circling threw him off and lie landed about 200 miles short of his target. their supporting armor. Officers said they encountered no heavy organized resistance. The assault zone south of Quang Tri was so heavily pounded by U.S. B52 bombers before the helicopter lift that some pilots were unable to see through the dust clouds and dropped several hundred troops at alternate landing sites.

On the southern front at An Loc, the North Vietnamese made four shelling attacks and one ground assault Thursday against government troops trying to reopen Highway 13 to the provincial capital. More than 210 strikes were flown over North Vietnam Thursday, the U.S. Command said. The pilots reported destroying or damaging two surface-to-air missiles and seven bridges. U.S.

B52s flew tour missions north of the demilitarized zone, the command added.

Fischer Asks Share In Chess Match Gate REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Organizers of the world chess championship reported considerable progress Friday night in their negotiations with Bobby lawyer over a last minute demand for more money by the American challenger. However, after an hour and a half session with Andrew Davis, attorney, officials of the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation said they had been given no assurances Fischer would appear for the beginning of the match Sunday with Boris Spassky. A spokesman for the federation said he got the impression Davis was seeking a compromise in the dispute over the new financial conditions posed by Fischer. Davis, confidant as well as legal adviser, arrived here Friday on a flight from New York which was to have carried the 29-year-old chess genius to the site of his 24- game match. Fischer had reserved space on the plane and checked his luggage on before he changed his mind.

He suddenly called for his bags from the aircraft and disappeared from New Kennedy airport after holding up the flight for more than two hours. What Davis and officials of the dic Chess Federation had to sort out was a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match. Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin Sunday. It was learned that Gutmunder Thorarisson, the federation president, spent most of the night in sometimes heated telephone conversation with representatives in the United States. Thorarisson said late Friday that has been Once Fischer earned the right to challenge Spassky, after eliminating a series of strong opponents in the challenge round, plans began to go awry for the of the There have been disputes over money, the site, limiting conditions, housing and even down to the kind of oar the host federation should provide for Fischer.

Until the new demand for a share of the gate, Fischer and Spassky had agreed to compete for the biggest prize in chess history: a division of $125,000 with five-eights going to the winter, and an even split of 60 per cent of the film and TV rights sold to a promoter.

Any hopes of a compromise on the Illinois dispute vanished when McGovern lost his California delegates Thursday. With the 10 California delegates who had been ineligible to vote in their own contest back on the voting roster and the antiMcGovern Illinois delegates unable to vote, the McGovern forces were in charge from the beginning and were in no mood to bargain. In an earlier contest, McGovern picked up eight convention votes when the Credentials Committee upheld an other challenge brought against the regularly elected delegates of four downstate Illinois districts.

Daley forces in Washington said they would appeal the ruling at the convention in Miami Beach, but Daley did not refer to such an appeal. Daley indicated Tuesday he was considering a compromise on the challenge conference that he think the 150- member Credentials Committee would outlaw the seating of the uncommitted delegates.

Asked if he would fight for his seat at the convention, Daley told the news conference: think we will have to face When asked if the full convention might rule against him, the mayor said, know they do that to Sen.

(AP) Statements volunteered by a suspect prior to the start of interrogation by police may be admitted as evidence in court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled today. The decision upheld an armed robbery conviction of Thornes Priddy, who was convicted of robbing a man by holding a knife to his throat and taking his auto.
