Jr its'- Yka Li Court Refuses California Delegate Rule WASHINGTON (AP) A U.S. District Court refused yesterday to enter the dispute over the alloting of California delegates to the Democratic National Convention. While the candidates relaxed, forces of George Mc-Govern asked Judge George L. Hart Jr. to restore the more than 150 delegates stripped from the South Dakota senator hy the Democratic Credentials Committee.

HART DECLINED to act, saying the question of whether the state's winncr-take-all primary was fair and equitable is a matter to be decided by the party convention, not by the courts. He said the judiciary should intervene in party conflicts only when they involve a clear constitutional principle. In a parallel and similar ruling delivered at the same time, Hart refused to upset the Credential Committee's action in unseating Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates to the convention. In anticipation of appeals in both cases, Hart told the contending lawyers before giving his rulings that the U.S. Court of Appeals would hear arguments in the case today despite the Independence Day holiday.

The losing attorneys in each case told newsmen they will appeal. ALABAMA GOV. George C.

Threct that the measure was designed primarily to remove him as the board's chairman. The issue of reapportioning the board became clouded with controversary last week when Threet charged that dynamite had been placed at his home to "harrass" him because he had opposed the bill. "THE PLACEMENT of dynamite at my home," Threet said, "is part of a continued effort to silence my opposition," Threct said when the explosives were found on his back porch. State and local authorities are still investigating the incident. Proponents of the bill, including Joe Black Hayes, chairman of the court's legislative committee, said the incident had "aboslutely nothing to do with the issue." Threet, who allegedly mailed letters to the 42 magistrates last week urging them to vote against the proposal, had served as chairman of the board since he was elected for the second time since being taken there after he was shot at a political rally in Laurel, Md.

TRADITIONALLY, Americans observe their nation's birthday on Julv 4, or on the 5lh if the Fourth falls on a Sunday. It was the intent of Congress, in 1941, that the day that saw the signing of the formal Declaration of Independence should henceforth be the official time for both merry-making and solemn observance.

But there are others. On Feb. 27, 1776. in one of the first defiant American acts, patriot militia routed a Loyalist force of 1,600 at Moore's Creek Bridge near Wilmington, N.C. The site is now a national military park.

That pro-British band had been mustered by the royal governor of North Carolina. ON JUNE 7. 1776, Richard Henry Lee rang out his support of the Independence resolves before his colleagues in the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, proclaiming: "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Independent States and that all political connection between them and the By KEEL HUNT If you can't celebrate American liberty with the rest of America today, don't fret. Before next year's July 4, there will be at least 10 other genuine but largely forgotten opportunities brimming with 18th Century American patriotism. Wafer, Sewage School Near The state will advertise for bids within the next week on a new $500,000 school for sewage and water plant operators in Murfrccsboro.

The school is designed to help local water and sewer systems comply with a 1971 state law which requires that all plant operators be trained and certified by the Department of Public Health. A 3'i-ACRE site for the school has been donated to the state by the city of Murfrccsboro. It is located off Thompson Lane on the West Stones River.

The exact number, Mrs. Guynelle Sanders, registrar at large, said yesterday, will not be known until workers have had an opportunity to file last minute registrations. YESTERDAY was the last day for registering, and several hundred people beat the deadline. As is usual on the final day for registering for a particular election day, there was a line of persons in front of the election commission's office waiting to register.

"We've been so busy we haven't had time to give thought to how many are registered now," Mrs. Sanders said. "We had about 212,000 registered after the files were purged. I would say we have in the neighborhood of 220,000 registered now." CITIZENS NOW will not be permitted to register until the Monday following the Aug. 3 elections.

However, other sources i the department said police are seeking a single suspect. They said stolen items included diamonds, rubies, emeralds and "you name it."

In the background, an aside comment by mayoral assistant Robert Horton about whether health director Joseph Bistowish had inspected the mini-dump carried over the sensitive microphone used during the speeches.

But other officials, who served in both the Johnson and Nixon administrations said they recalled no such clear-cut order.
