says jets hit 3 Hanoi depots City and state WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here today handed a victory to the forces of Sen. George McGovern in their battle with the Democratic Credentials Committee for California delegates. At the same time, forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley were set back by the court in the second half of the dual attack on the committee's hotly disputed decisions. The appeals court reversed a U.S. District Court decision upholding the committee's action of stripping 151 California delegates from McGovern. The circuit court ordered the district bench to rewrite its decision in the California case in accordance with an opinion not yet filed. The circuit court rejected the appeal of Daley's forces in one case ing any attacks on civilian targets and said it had no information "indicating other than military targets were hit." North Vietnam also claimed that two F4 Phantoms were shot down during the raids.

The U.S. command said it had no plane losses to report yet. It did announce that MIG21 interceptors shot down two Phantoms southwest of Hanoi June 27 and a surface-to-air missile brought down a third Phantom 40 miles northeast of Hanoi July 1. Two of the fliers were rescued and four are missing, the command said. The U.S.

command said the raiders yesterday destroyed or damaged numerous trucks, trailers and large stacks of supplies at the Quinh Loi depot 3 miles southeast of the center of Hanoi. At the Hanoi military vehicle depot, 4 miles south of the center of the city, laser bombs destroyed a maintenance building, five storage buildings and six trucks, the command reported. It said 12 more storage buildings were damaged. In South Vietnam, the command said, American planes accidentally attacked South Vietnamese marines 5 miles southeast of Quang Tri City.

MINNEAPOLIS TEMPERATURES and in two others directed that state court action be prohibited insofar as the delegates from Illinois rejected by the committee are concerned.

The brief orders of the appeals court carried no reasons for the action. The judges were expected to file opinions later in the day. The district court Monday ruled that the federal judiciary had no place in the debate over delegates from the two states. The credentials committee had Issued decisions that stripped Sen. George S.

McGovern of 151 California delegates and told Mayor Richard J. Daley and 58 other uncommitted Chicago delegates to stay home. The circuit court action came at a time when forces of Mayor Daley had a scheduled court appearance in Illinois state court in which they sought to prevent the successful Illinois delegate challengers from taking part in the convention. However, while the full scope of the circuit court's ruling was not known in the absence of a written opinion, it was clear that the judges felt federal court action should be taken in the two cases. The committee decisions were likened to a "self-destruct button" by the party's lawyer yesterday even as he fought to uphold them before the appeals court.

fano told the three judges that federal courts have no business in the party's business. His argument echoed the district court decision that prompted the Fourth of July appeal. McGovern and Daley forces appealed in their fight to overturn committee decisions which ousted 59 Illinois delegates, including Daley, and ripped the winner-take-all prize of the California presidential primary from McGovern to award the state's 271 delegates proportionately among candidates, based on their percentage of the vote. Meanwhile, the credentials committee completed its preconvention agenda and passed on to the convention the job of settling 18 contests over the seating of hundreds of delegates. The fights the committee could not resolve including the politically explosive ones from California and Illinois will almost inevitably provoke at the convention the bitterness that marked committee debates between McGovern supporters and backers of his opponents.

morrow. He said there will be an announcement by the Russian delegation later. "We are sorry the world championship was delayed," Fischer's apology began. "My problems were not with Spassky, whom I respect as a man and admire as a player." If Spassky and the Soviet people were "distressed or discomfited," Fischer continued, "I am indeed sorry." What Spassky meant when he demanded "just punishment" for Fischer, he would not say. There were unconfirmed reports the Russians wanted Fischer to be panalized with the loss of the first game.

Local angler's luck' more than law allows A local angler's good luck Saturday at Lake of the Isles ended up getting him in trouble with the law. Roger Crosby, 48, 909 E. 18th was given a ticket by state conservation officer Ernest Boyd for having 80 sunfish in his possession. The maximum set by law is 30. The officer said the fisherman was on the west shore of the lake using worms for bait.

Vandalism makes Dodge Center Fischer apologizes to Soviet opponent By RICHARD GIBSON Minneapolis Star Staff Writer DODGE CENTER, Minn. A sign assures visitors to this small town, "You'll enjoy bodge Center." But the people who live in Dodge Center don't seem to be enjoying it very much now. The reason: Some of their kids. In recent months Dodge Center, population about 1,600, has been victimized by vandals just how many no one is sure and the town is in an uproar.

The vandalism included numerous break-ins at local schools and several business establishments, the theft of ice cream from a church, the placement of a 400-pound block of cement in the town swimming pool just before the pool was to open, makeshift barriers of tires and milk cases in the streets, damage to rest-rooms at nearby Rice Lake State Park, upset tombstones at a pioneer graveyard, and mutilations of some pets. The youths also turned on all the town's fire hydrants one night, a prank that drained the water tower. "If we would have had a fire then, we would have been in real bad shape," one irate resident said. "Boy, it sure has been rough down here. My God, it's terrible.

I don't know what it's going to come to," a woman who sells hard wart told a visitor. She said 1 a.m. 83 6 a.m 47 2 a.m. 52 7 a.m. 50 3 a.m 50 8 ajn 56 Midnight.

Last week the spate of maliciousness brought a strong reaction from many townspeople. More than 100 met to figure out what they should do to combat the problem.

They decided on several moves. First, they urged the Village Council to take a tough stand on law enforcement. They criticized the Dodge County Juvenile Court for allegedly being too soft on youthful lawbreakers. They demanded that the local 10:30 p.m. curfew for youngsters be enforced.

And they decided to patrol the streets of Dodge Center at night. This action has led to contentions by some that vigilantes are taking law enforcement into their own hands. But backers of the move call those on patrol "town walkers" and say they merely hope to be a deterrent to more vandalism. The group of angered citizens also placed a large ad, which resembled a wanted poster, in the local paper. The ad offered no reward "other than the obvious one" and said persons with knowledge of the vandalism should tell authorities.

The ad said, "Subject is believed to be someone you know and who is considered more dangerous to him- DODGE Turn to Paee 2A the sale of padlocks was up.

The American, whose dispute over prize money forced organizers to postpone the world championship round, said he has the greatest respect for Spassky as a man and as a player. The statement, prepared by Fischer's lawyers, was read to reporters by Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation.

It was not known whether this would be sufficient to overcome Russian objections to starting the match. In a statement yesterday, Spassky said he would consider starting piay only if Fischer paid the penalty for his behavior. Spassky told The Associated.

"They've got overbearing on all these ordinances, on everything," Madison asserts. "Our plant is adequate. Hell, it's so clean you could eat a picnic lunch in the goddamned place." He leads a visitor on a tour of the facility in question. "See that bathtub? The boys clean up before going home. How many sewer plants have one of those?"

It was supposed to be right up to snuff and useable for a much bigger town. I don't get it."
