He is Dr. Donald Lewis Leake of Rolling Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles. His visit to Des Moines gave him a chance to renew a friendship with James Luke, associate professor of music at Drake. They were graduate students in music together at the University of Southern California. In what seems to have been a well-ordered life, Dr.

Leake had what he considered good reasons for each of his shifts from one profession to the other. Music was his first love, he says, and he still performs with top ranking musical groups soloist with the Stanford University Orchestra in recent years, for instance. And before embarking in the medical arts he was a Fulbright scholar at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels, Belgium. HE PLAYS today with what he calls "fits and starts," practices intelligently and with some regularity. "Music is a wonderful foil for a surgeon," he says.

"To be able to come home from the stench and stew of the wards and be able to play chamber music is great for the spirits." Dr. Leake had a change of heart in 1956 about his aim to be one of the world's great THE FOURTH: A DAY FOR ALL PEOPLE AFTER IV2 McGovern Upheld by U.S. Court Winner-Take-All OKd in California Leased Wires to The Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C. -The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here Wednesday handed a victory to the forces of Senator 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 given a setback by the court in the second half of the dual attack on the committee's disputed decisions. Daley and 58 other delegates had been told to stay home by the Credentials Committee. In the McGovern ruling which left him unofficially 86 votes short of nomination the Circuit Court reversed a U.S. District Court decision which had upheld the committee's action of stripping 151 delegates from California after McGovern had won 271 delegates in the winner-take-all primary.

The Circuit Court ordered the district bench to rewrite its decision in the California case in accordance with an opinion not yet filed. In the Daley appeal, the Circuit Court rejected the appeal of the Chicago mayor's forces in one case and in two others directed that state court action be prohibited insofar as the delegates from Illinois who were rejected by the committee are concerned. The brief orders of the Circuit Court carried no reasons for the action. The judges were expected to file opinions later Wednesday. The District Court Monday ruled that the federal judiciary had no place in the debate over delegates from the two states.

Daley's attorney had declared that his clients would seek to prevent the mayor's opponents from attending the convention regardless of how the court ruled. That remark Tuesday by Jerome Torshen moved Chief Judge David Bazelon to question whether the Daley organi- Delegales Please turn to Page Four She's Double Champ (Burp!) HUTCHINSON, KAN.

The prize for Patricia was a gift certificate for food at a local hamburger stand. This turmoil of legs, beach umbrellas, sun-hats, blistered backs and noses Is at perhaps the daddy of all Fourth of July settings: Coney Island Beach at the lower end of Brooklyn, N.Y.

There, more than a million persons, including some patriots, no doubt, assembled Tuesday, according to the Coney Island Chamber of Commerce. But you could take a sample of all the goings-on in the metropolitan Des Moines area on the Fourth of July, put them to gether mosaic-style and come up with something comparable. Crowds watched a parachute jump at Rivervicw Park; dog, cat and art shows in West Des Moines; a water fight between Windsor Heights and Urbandale lire departments; a greased pig contest in Pleasant Hill; a frog-jumping contest in Carlisle. Husbands were called in Mitchellvillc, and everywhere folks watched fireworks. It was a great Fourth for Coney Island and for Des Moines.

'Best Way To Solve Problem' Transit Authority Recommended By Jerald Hcth Copyrhht, 1 973. Des Moines Register and Tribune Company A consulting firm Wednesday recommended that the private-ly operated bus company presently serving Des Moines and its suburbs be taken over by a public transit authority. The consultants made their recommendations, noting that the city's privately operated' bus company has not been meeting the needs of the metro politan area. The consultants also pointed out that the present 50-cent bus fare in Des Moines is one of the highest in the country. The firm, Alan M.

Voorhees and Associates of St. Louis, said a publicly owned transit system would be the best way to solve bus problems in the Des Moines metropolitan area. The recommendation, contained in a report to the Cen tral Iowa Regional Planning Commission (C1RPC), was leached by the consultants after an 18-month study of the present bus company and transit problems here. ittn fx imnlnmnnf id- mendation should begin immediately with (lie planning commission being designated as the governmental agency responsible for bus operations until a permanent transit authority is set up. This would enable the plan- ring commission to apply for let eral funds lor use in keenmu the current bus company operating, the study said.

The planning commission then would lease to the bus company for $1 a year any facilities or equipment, acquired with federal funds. Year of 19711 The consulting firm based its analysis of bus problems on statistics and information for the year of 1970. The study indicated that the present company, the Iowa Regional Transit, is in serious financial trouble, The study said the company has been "living off its depreciation" since "no funds have been available to acquire new equipment or provide other capital improvements."

Under a proposed 1973 budget, Sarconu said, the homeowner with the $12,000 house would pay $85.54 instead of the present $79,97 to help finance county government. But, of a Des Moines taxpayer's total property tax bill, only about 15 per cent is for county government. The other two major taxing bodies, which together with county government account for the bulk of the property lax bill, are the public schools and city government.

A year earlier the outstanding musicians were gravitating to Hollywood to play at film and recording studios and the doctor has played both for 20th-century Fox and Columbia Records.

Then the musicians went on strike and the film and recording industries responded by taking much of their work to Mexico. "The result was that musicians were jumping off roofs and becoming alcoholics," Dr. Leake recalls. "I decided it was a lousy way to make a living. I decided that if I could play the oboe, I could fill teeth and make crowns." So he went to the Harvard Dental School and became a dentist.

Ultimately, though, he decided it would be more stimulating to be a doctor, to be concerned and involved with "the whole patient," not just the mouth. HE ENTERED the Stanford University School of Medicine and "moonlighted" in dentistry to help pay the bills. "One thing I feel very strongly about is that more women should become dentists," says Dr. Leake. (His own wife is a pediatrician.) "Unfortunately, that's not the image in this country." In Europe, especially in Scandinavian countries, there are great numbers of women dentists.

"Dentistry is an ideal profession jor a woman to adapt to her family life," he says. "She can arrange her schedule to have no appointments until after her children have left for school and none after they come home." DR. LEAKE isn't able to play the oboe now as much as he would like. He is deeply involved in complicated oral and facial surgery and has an extremely demanding schedule. What organized playing he does is on weekends, but he does participate with some regularity in such events as the Carmel Bach Festival.

"Music will always be a very important part of my life," he says. "I try to keep up. I may go two or three months without playing a note, but I try very hard to keep up." Dr. Leake's medical record is distinguished, yet one of the brightest stars in his crown is the Phi Beta Kappa key won while he was studying music at the University of Southern California.
