Win Order I By Jon Van A court order preventing members of the Des Moines I City Council from adopting any) portion of Iowa's new "home! rule" laws was signed by District Judge Gibson Holliday Monday.

Although the order was sought in two lawsuits by Des Moines residents opposed to construction of a north-south freeway through the city, the order's immediate effect casts doubts over city plans to modernize its 1973 budget. City officials have planned to finish writing the 1973 budget this October instead of in August as Iowa law requires. Judge Holliday's order if it is still in effect next month could throw the budget schedule into chaos. "Take Powers" One of the contentions in the lawsuits is that the state's new "home rule" laws actually take I away present powers of cities and towns across Iowa. i Max Putnam, attorney for i the freeway opponents, con tends that the "home rule" law would allow the Iowa Highway Commission to run a freeway through Des Moines even if the City Council opposed the new freeway.

Putnam's petition also contends that other local powers such as establishing city boundaries and writing city budgets also are transferred from local to state officials under the new state laws. The petition notes that officials of the League of Iowa Municipalities and other city officials across the state disagree with Putnam's interpretation of Putnam tn net claratory judgment from the court to determine which inter- jpretation of the new laws is correct.

President Nixon Lauds The 'Home oi the Free' CUT DEFEATED BY COALITIO Rural, Urban Demos Team Up By James Risser (Of The Register's Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D.C.

A coalition of urban and rural Democrats has successfully turned back efforts in the U.S. House to sharply reduce federal farm subsidies and to deny food stamps to striking union members. Some urban liberals who previously had supported efforts to cut federal farm payments voted last Thursday against such a move to reduce the subsidy limitation from $55,000 to $20,000. And some rural con-servatives, many of them Southerners, voted to permit striking union workers to continue to receive federal aid in the form of food stamps. In the past, many conservative Democrats had opposed allowing the strikers to receive the federal help.

lowan's Votes The measure to cut maximum farm payments to $20,000 was defeated, 192 to 189. lowans opposed to lowering the payment maximum were Representatives John Kyi and William Scherle, Republicans, and Neal Smith, a Democrat. Those voting to cut the subsidy limit were representatives H. R. Gross, Wiley Mayne and Fred Schwengel, Republicans, and John Culver, a Democrat.

The effort to deny food stamps to striking workers failed, 180 to 199. Kyi. Gross, Scherle, Mayne and Schwengel voted for the measure. Culver and Smith voted against it. Representative Robert Michel sponsor o.

the move to make strikers in- eligible for food stamps, charged during House debate that an "unholy alliance" was formed to defeat both efforts. He said urban Democrats anxious to avoid a defeat for organized labor had agreed to oppose the move to cut farm subsidies if rural Democrats would support them on the food stamp issue. Urban District For example, Representative Philip Burton Calif.) urged defeat of the move to cut farm payments to $20,000. even though his district is urban and highly consumer-oriented. And Representative George Mahon chairman of the Appropriations Committee, spoke against the effort to deny food stamps to strikers.

In the past, Mahon has favored moves to prohibit strikers from getting the federal aid. The closeness of the vote on the farm subsidy measure, however, was a strong indication that the $20,000 maximum payment probably will be approved by Congress within a year. Iowa's Mayne argued that large federal payments actually "are accelerating the growth of FARM Please ium to Page Four Wallace Takes Luncheon Trip SILVER SPRING, (AP) -Alabama Gov. George C.

SHOULD FIND A SOLUTION California, Daley Cases Involved By Clark Mollenhoff (The Register's Washington Bureau Chief) WASHINGTON, D.C.-A federal court judge in Washington late Monday refused to enter the Democratic Party dispute over allotting California delegates and refused to upset the party's Credentials Committee action in unseating the Chicago, 111., delegates. U.S.

District Judge George L. Hart, ruled that the dispute on the California delegates should be left to the Democratic National Convention meeting next week in Miami Beach, unless "a clear constitutional question is presented." He added that he could find no constitutional question that would justify the federal courts' getting into "this thicket" of intraparty political squabbles. Arguments Today In anticipation of appeals in both cases, however, Hart told the contending lawyers before giving his rulings that the U.S. Court of Appeals would hear arguments in the cases today despite the Independence Day holiday. The losing attorneys in each case told newsmen they will appeal.

The Credentials Committee ruling last week on the California case upset the results of the winner-take-all primary that had given 271 delegates to South Dakota Senator George McGovern, and stripped him of 151 of the delegate votes. The committee's ruling on the Illinois case ousted Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and his slate of 58 delegates. The McGovern slate brought the suit to upset the Credentials Committee's ruling on Califor- nia and to try to win back the 151 delegates. Lnder the com mittee's ruling, those delegates I are to be given to other oresi- dential candidates in proportion to the vote they received in the primary. Joseph L.

Rauh. arguing for McGovern, told Hart the committee action violated constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection under the law. He said the committee had "changed the rules in the middle of the game" by forbidding the winner-take-all system in California. Rauh said the party's reform rules plainly allow for a winner-take-all primary in California. He argued that in addition, it is permitted under the California law governing primaries.

"Rule of Jungle" He said if the Credentials Committee is upheld "then politics is simply the rule of the jungle." "It might not be cricket, it might even be dirty pool, but is it unconstitutional?"

D.C. (AP) Here is the text oj President Nixou's Independence Duj mesttuc, issued by the White House: Independence Day marks more than the birth date of America. It marks the beginning of one of history's greatest and noblest adventures. Today, it continues to untold. 196 years after that small, brave beginning in Philadelphia where a handful of inspired men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to a new nation.

For nearly two centuries, through good times and bad, the ideals of individual rights and opportunity that inspired men like Washington, Jefferson and Adams have survived and flourished. More than any other nation of any era, America has trulv been the home of the free and the "haven of the weak and oppressed from other parts of the world. And the catalyst of American values has transformed the weak and the oppressed into part of a strong and a just people. Great trials and greater triumphs lie ahead for us as a people. There are still wrongs to be righted, and new goals of peace, prosperity, justice and a better environment to be met.

But as long as we remain true to the ideals of America, as long as our energy does not flag and our faith does not fail, no problem is too great and no evil is too strong to be overcome by a United American people. ineicngcr accepted banker James slater's offer of The problem is radios operating on range.

(GM) an nounced Monday recall of 000 of its Chevrolet Vegas for inspection and possible rcplace- merit of defective rear shafts. ax'e The recall, CM said, involves virtually all 1971 and 1972 Vegas built prior to last May 5. Only models with so-called "Positraction" rear axles are excluded. Chevrolet said 59 shaft failures have been reported thus far.

but that no injuries have been reported because of them. It said two failures have resulted in minor body damage to vehicles. Vegas are produced at a Lordstown, Ohio, plant, plagued in the past by labor troubles, "Excessive end play in the defective shafts," GM said, "could cause a lock ring to disengage, permitting the shaft and wheel to move outward. "If that should occur, the rear brakes may become inop- erative and the wheel and axle could separate from the car, permitting the car to drop down onto the rear suspen sion. Inspection and replacements will be at company expense.

I Two bookkeepers were on duty in the office, Mrs. Rita 1 Brown and Mrs. Ruth Conners. The intruder opened a shelf drawer and found an empty purse and threw it down (lis- gustedly.

He then searched through drawers and files, waving the screwdriver about menacingly, Bisignano said. Mrs. Brown then grabbed the intercom microphone and started screaming "something about someone going out the back I Bisignano said. "It was unintelligible but wej knew something was happen- i ing," Bisignano said. We all rushed out to the alley but the guy was gone.

Must have been a fast runner. We found the screwdriver on the back steps. "Glad no one got hurt. There wasn't any money here anyway. We learned our lesson about that several years ago.

"Everybody in the restaurant heard the screams." Detectives Alvin Overton and Tony Hoyla took the two bookkeepers to police headquarters to look at pictures of possible suspects. Within minutes after the attempted robbery at Babe's, police received a report that a man of the same description attempted to hold up the Pildis Hardware store at 814 Sixth Ave. The store owner, Mrs. Sarah Pildis, 69, told officers the man entered the store, picked up a pair of tin snips from a display and threatened her with them, demanding: "Give me all your money." Mrs. Pildis told police she fled out the front door screaming for help and that the man ran out the rear.
