J' An interesting note concerning Federal Appeals Court Reverses Committee In Convention Delegate Dispute (By Associated Press) A Federal Appeals court in Washington has reversed the credential committee in the dispute over California democratic convention delegates.

It says action by the committee in stripping Senator McGovern of 151 California delegates was null and void. The Appeals court said the expulsion of the 151 California delegates pledged to McGovern was not consistent with fundamental principles of due process. The losers, are expected to take the case to the Supreme court. The Circuit Court of Appeals did uphold the committee decision in ousting Chicago's Mayor Daley and 58 others as Illinois delegates. And Daley's attorneys have asked the Appeals court to stay this action.

Confident About City The commander of the South Vietnamese counter-offensive is reported confident he can recapture Quang Tri City without a bloody battle. The forces under Lt. Gn. Ngo Quang Truong have penetrated the city limits and taken up defensive positions on the southeastern edge. Reliable sources say the general is in no hurry to plunge into the city and engage in unnecessary street fighting.

Government Marines on the eastern flank of the drive for Quang Tri are said to have fought two engagements with the North Vietnamese about three miles from the city. In another war development U.S. command said American planes struck three major depots within four miles of the center of Hanoi Tuesday. Still No Chess Match American Chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer has apologized to Soviet champion Boris Spassky for failing to show up for Sunday's scheduled of their match in Iceland. Spassky, however, is said to be under orders from the Soviet Chess federation to demand that the first game be declared loss for Fischer.

It still is not clear whether the match will begin Thursday as now scheduled. Fischer, holding out for more money, did not turn up Sunday. Then, with the money question settled and Fischer on hand, Spassky refused to start play Tuesday as a protest against Fischer's earlier tactics. The two men are scheduled play 21 games. A called loss of the first game by Fischer would give Spassky a significant, but not insurmountable advantage.

Another Plane Hijacked An airliner with 81 aboard has been hijacked betwen Los Angeles and San Francisco. officials say it's a Pacific Southwest airlines Boeing 737.

It is estimated that about 2,300 registrations might be expected, so if the other 350 or so would register at the county clerk's office everything will go smoothly on election day.

VEHICLE TOTALED TUESDAY EVENING 1962 four-door by WEDNESDAY. JULY Tell About Nepal Marriage customs in his native country. Nopal, were discussed for Council Grove Kiwanians at their dinner meeting. Monday night by Bishnu Chitrakar of this city. Bishnu; who came to this country in 1965, said there are three types of marriages in Nepal 1.

Those where the father of the boy bargains with the girl's father over a dowry, 2. Those where the couple is married at age 8 or 9 but live seperately in their parents' homes until age 14 or 15 with the girl then joining the boy in his family's household, and 3. The; marriage ar-ranged by the parents when there is no dowry involved' and when the two oftentimes do not know or see each other until after the arrangements are final ized. He said about 80 per cent ot the marriages are of the latter type. The divorce rate in Nepal is only about one per cent, the speaker said.

He gave the following reasons: 1. Each partner seeks to find and accentuate the positive rather than the negative traits in his or her spouse; 2. In Nepal's "man's world" there is no place for the divorced woman to go; and 3. Divorced women are very much looked down upon and few men would marry a divorcee even if there were opportunity for such a marriage. Bishnu and his wife, Tara, whose marriage was arranged by their parents, have been in Council Grove for one and one-half months.

Tara is an M.D., having received her training in Moscow. She is now studying for an exam which will permit her to practice in this country. Guests at the meeting were Dr. Tara Chitrakar, Mrs. George Grafel, Pastor Jerry Howard and Vic Schoof.

AUSTRALIANS NOT HAPPY WITH NADER Brisbane, Australia (AP) American consumer advocate Ralph Nader had been in Australia less than 24 hours when he caught some -sharp criticism from Prime Minister William McMahon. Mc-Mahon described Nader as "a professional and paid pot stirrer," or troublemaker. The Australian Prime Minister said Nader had been in the country less than 24 hours and had set himslef up as judge of Australia without proper knowledge of the country or its people. McMahon made his comments at a news conference at Brisbane airport. Two hours later, he kept an appointment to meet Nader for discussions, which were not open to After the talks, Nader said there had been no unpleasantness.

Soon after he arrived in Australia Sunday, Nader criticized Australia's auto safety rules as being behind the times, and he hit at libel laws as inhibiting criticism. McMahon told newsmen Na- der will be paid normal courtesies as a visitor. But the Prime Minister added that an Australian who went to America and made the same comments and criticisms would not be well received.

sey, the for (Birthplace of the Santa Fa Trail) SET TRIAL DATE Americus School Closing Suit -To Go To Trial August 3 Suit of patrons seeking to prevent closing of the Americue grade school was set for trial August 3 at 9 a.m. in Lyon County District Court when a pre trial conference was held in Emporia Monday. Judge Alex Hotchkiss is sitting in the case for Judge Jay Sullivan, who disqualified himself. The judge denied a motion for dismissal of the case.

A motion to permit the county attorney to intervene in the case was sustained, and withdrawal of the county election officer as a defendant in the case on the grounds an election to approve or reject the issuance of bonds to pay for repair of the school was not yet an issue was approved. After the county election officer had been permitted to withdraw, the judge also permitted the county attorney to withdraw from the case. Law Of Future Topeka (AP) Kansans will have to wait two years to observe what may be one of the most important laws enacted by the 1972 legislature. It's an act to reform the state's penal system. The legislature gave it an effective date of July 1, 1974.

The new act is designed to place emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment It will establish a department of corrections, headed by a secretary of corrections. And it sets minimum staffing standards for penal administration, plus requires certain levels of training for correctional officers. The act provides for a unifixJ system of corrections, with inmates to be moved from institution to institution as they progress or regress in their rehabilitation. A five-member Kansas adult authority is to be established and charged with granting and supervising parole. The authority will maintain records on the behavior of each inmate.

Work, education and training programs will be established. Another new law goes into effect one year from now. It provides for a state central motor pool in Topeka. The existing departmental motor pools may continue in operation and branch motor pools may be established at other places in the state. All state owned or leased cars, except for law enforcement vehicles, will be required to display distinctive tags rear and front.

Lofty aims are characteristic also of a new law which became effective Saturday. It's known as the alcoholism and intoxication treatment act. It establishes a state policy that alcoholics and intoxicated persons may not be subjected to criminal prosecution solely because of their consumption of alcoholic beverages. They must be afforded treatment. The law creates a five-member commission to develop standards and programs of prevention and treatment The act provides procedures for voluntary.

Involuntary and emergency admittance of alcoholics or intoxicated persons to treatment facilities. Critics fault the bill for not providing funding or facilities. And some hospital administrators say there may not be adequate space to provide needed treatment. And some law enforcement officers say the new law is only statement of policy, and will actually have little practical effect DELIVER NEW CARS Bolton Chrysler Plymouth has delivered new cars to Richard and Kathleen Rice, Parsons, 19-72 Satellite Sebring, two door hardtop; Marion and Dawn Thompson, Manhattan, a 1972 Dodge Polara custom two-door hardtop; and Ken and Susan Porter of Mt.
