Political Parties Rights At Stake in Dem Battle Bv JOHN BECKLER WASHINGTON (AP) The court battle over delegates to the Democratic National Convention has revolved around this question: Does a political party have the right to conduct its own affairs free from judicial interference? Politics and the law became entangled when the Credentials Committee, sharply divided between supporters and foes of Sen.

George McGovern, took away 151 delegates McGovern had won in primary. Tbe matter was considered especially' important because McGovern supporters said the 151 delegates might give them more than the 1,509 needed to win the nomination on the first ballot. At issue was practice of awarding all its 271 delegates to the primary winner. McGovern won over eight rivals, getting a bit over 44 per cent of the total vote. The Credentials Committee decided he was entitled only to a bit over 44 per cent of the delegates and divided the rest among his rivals in proportion to their vote.

It was the position of the committee that winner-take-all primary violated the spirit of the Democratic new rules designed to ensure the fullest possible participation by all Democrats in the delegate- selection process. The California practice did not, however, violate the letter of those rules since winner-take. primaries were not specifically banned by them. On that basis the ousted delegates went into court and were given their seats back by the U.S. Court of Ap- Jr.

Raise in Fees for Huber Law Prisoners Is Recommended The County Justice and Enforcement Committee voted this week to recommend the rates charged by the county jail for Huber Law prisoners and federal prisoners be raised. Lawrence Lynch, administrative assistant for the told the committee that the present for feeding Huber Law inmates was $1.75 a day. He recommended the rate charged be raised from the present $1.75 to $2.50. with a possible additional hike next O'Connor Seeks Rule Clarification Sheriff Edward asked the County Board's Justice and Enforcement Committee Thursday for a clarification of his civil service status because of the new rules that allow leaves df absence to run for office. The committee said it had a lgtter from the Civil Service Commission recommending ttet be granted an additional leave because he took the job in February under the old rules and was granted a six month leave then.

The final decision is up the county board, and so far, a resolution to grant an extension been offered by the Justice and Enforcement Committee. The Personnel Comm, had vbted earlier that no leaves whatsoever be granted, as the civil service rules state. The new rules also state that an officeholder get to maintain his seniority and other job rights while in office. leeve was granted under the old rules and he could go back to tiis former job in the juvenile bureau after leaving office. year.

At an earlier meeting, Lynch had said the state average charge was about $3.20. Huber Law prisoners, who are allowed to work during the day, paid the jail $8,562 last year for their board. Two representatives from the Federal Bureau of Prisons met the committee and agreed the rate charged for housing federal prisoners should be raised from $4 to $6.50. Fifty cents of this would be used by the jail for tion and rehabilitation programs for all prisoners. Dist.

Atty. Richard B. McConnell had earlier written to County Board Chairman Lloyd Owens suggesting that the jail discontinue the housing of federal prisoners. McConnell said the county faces the cost of court actions brought by such prisoners, and often has to provide them with a lawyer. About 1,000 Federal prisoners spent various lengths of time in the county jail last from the military.

peals in the District of Columbia. In its opinion the court noted the reform commission that wrote the new party rules also rejected a proposal to ban the winner-take-all primaries and that California was given specific permission to use one by the commission chairman, Rep. Donald A. Fraser of Minnesota. Therefore, the court ruled, the Credentials Committee acted in defiance of the party rules and the constitutional rights of the McGovern delegates in unseating them.

The contesting view of the national Democratic party is that whatever the Credentials Committee did, or the national convention may do, is the business of the party not the courts. The lawyers argued that the Credentials Committee was exercising power delegated to it by the convention in a manner practiced at political conventions through a century and a half of American history. In an Illinois seating dispute, the Credentials Committee removed 59 delegates elected by the regular Democratic organization headed by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. It charged there were numerous violations of the party reform rules in the selection of the delegates.

The Daley forces counterattacked in the courts, claiming the selection process was in full accord with Illinois state election laws, which could not be superseded by the rules.

For ruling gave McGovern all of 271 delegates, whom he needed to win first-ballot victory. Friends of the two men say the house sale was a routine real estate transaction.
