Nixon Asks High Court To Deny Jaworski Plea WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon asked the Supreme Court today not to make a whether he should surrender new evidence in the Watergate coverup case. In a brief filed in the high court. Nixon's attorneys said it would be far better to allow the parking lot, it's normally full at this time (8 a.m.) and only about 10 per cent full Parking lots did fill up later as Redwood students reported for attendance checks about 8:30 a.m. Students throughout the district were to have only a 'minimum and were to finish classes at 12:30 But when Redwood principal Donald Kreps announced that only movies and recreation programs would be available, many students took it as a cue to leave.

Rusty McManus, another teacher on the job, was more critical of the strikers: feel we deserve a raise but I think there is a professional way to get it through further negotiation I signed a contract from September to June. I vowed that I would fullfill the days in that period and I Supt. Robert D. Torrey said, think any student who came to school today is ever going to forget it and hopefully we can maximize what has happened to use it as an education experience.

Hie average teacher salary in the district is $90 per day. judicial process "to run its orderly course" and for the case to first clear the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, where it is now docketed. Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski is seeking tapes and records of 64 White House conversations and wants the Supreme Court to decide in the next few weeks whether he can have them.

Jaworski has asked the justices to take the case away from the appeals court and decide it before the end of the current term in late June. The President contends executive privilege allows him to withhold the materials The President's brief was signed by professor Charles Alan Wright of the University of Texas, who has been giving the White House legal assistance; by attorney James D. St. Clair and other lawyers for the President The court meets in its usual private session tomorrow and could decide then whether to agree to an early ruling or leave the case where it is. An announcement could come tomorrow or Monday, when the court holds its next public session.

Meanwhile, U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica refused to turn over four other Watergate tapes to the House Judiciary Committee. Sirica said the tapes had originally been subpoenaed for the Watergate grand jury and he had them solely for the purpose of screening them to rule on executive privilege claims.

Repairs have been completed, Lee said. $45,000 Is Trimmed From Budget The Reed School District board last night cut $45,000 from its proposed 1974-75 budget. Supt. Ralph D.

Giovannieilo said the reductions were made after the board went through a list of 100 items which had been suggested for cutbacks by the superintendent and other district officials. The original $3,094,584 proposed budget was up $89,414 from this Among items removed were $3,500 for a proposed advanced studies program for sixth, seventh and eighth graders; $10,000 for repainting of Granada School, and $10,000 for adding top soil and seed to playing fields at various schools.

Cooke was not available for comment yesterday but his assistant, Eugene R. Fontaine, explained that Redwood Bank was one of only two banks which expressed interest in having the accounts several years ago. In return for the accounts, Fountain said, the bank gives the coroner's office a range of sen For example, he said, the bank supplies special checks free to the office. According to County Treasurer Stanley Fontez, the funds were handled by his office until 1971 when a bill introduced by Assemblyman William T. Bag- Icy, San Rafael, directed the funds be held in private banks.

According to a spokesman for Bagley, the bill was introduced because interest on funds kept in the county treasury were accruing to the county and not to the heirs. administrators (statewide) pushed for it but personally I think the banks were behind it so they could make more Fontez said think the funds should be returned to the county treasury and safeguarded like other public funds." Fontez said would be no to insure that the funds draw interest for relatives or others. County A uditor-Cont roller Michael Mitchell expressed similar opinions Bank manager Kirch today expressed only a vague knowledge of his $300 donation to Dr. campaign. He said the contribution, made about a month ago, was handled by Ted Craig, a private consultant to the bank.

Asked if the contribution was from him personally or from the bank, Kirch said, have to talk to Craig about Craig refused to discuss the matter. see no reason to answer your he said. Asked why the bank does not pay interest on $55,000 of the money while making contributions to the man who deposited it, Craig replied: see no reason why we should give you any information about this OBITUARIES Mrs. Agnes M. Craemer Is Dead At Age Of 81 Agnes M.

Craemer, widow of publisher Justus F. Craemer and mother of Independent- Jouraal editor and co-publisher Justus J. (Jack) Craemer, died last night at the Tamalpais retirement center of cancer. She was 81. Mrs.

Craemer was born in the mining town of Monarch, where her father operated the general store. She was the daughter of John Richard and Emma Bailey Fitzsimmons. She grew up and attended schools in Montana as well as Spokane, and Los Angeles. She was a graduate of the old Los Angeles State Normal IMPEACH Continual from page 1 sending the letter. Twenty Democrats and eight Republicans voted in favor.

Conyers objected because he wanted stronger action. Speaking for the Republican opponents, Rep. David Dennis, called the letter a gesture" and added the committee would draw inferences from noncompliance with the subpoenas or not we write a The letter as approved by the committee was essentially in the form drafted by the committee staff last night. The President has steadfastly maintained he is innocent of any wrongdoing in connection with the Watergate scandals. Rep.

C. V. (Sonny) Montgomery, one of his supporters who accompanied the President on a cruise last night, quoted him today as saying: I was guilty, I'd get the hell out fast, but not guilty." The White House has insisted the committee has all the Watergate information it needs to make a judgment and there will be no more forthcoming. Gerald L. Warren, deputy press secretary, said yesterday the Judiciary Committee should not draw inference of by Nixon's refusal to turn over additional materials.

Conyers said he was not satisfied with the language and said instead the committee should formally agree to consider noncompliance as grounds for impeachment. motion to consider at the practical an article of impeachment charging Nixon with contempt and obstruction of the constitutional process was defeated 29 to 9. The sternly worded draft was more than 30 lines long, in contrast to a four-line letter sent by Chairman Peter W. Rodino to Nixon after he refused the first subpoena.

That letter stated merely that Nixon had to comply." The first letter was approved 20 to 18 by the committee. committee is going forward with its the draft of the new letter to Nixon said. "Before our inquiry is concluded, we hope that you will remember your The draft said the President does not have the power conduct an inquiry into his own impeachment. COUNTY Con turned from page 1 F. Campanella, who also is the fairgrounds coordinator, has asked for a $2.1 million allocation to complete improvements at the fairgrounds site.

Barrows recommended slightly more than $1 million be given. The county sheriff, meanwhile, wants 11 new deputies and Barrows has recommended against the request, saying the level of police protection is adequate. The fire department budget, totaling $1,057,000, is in a state of flux because of a recent federal requirement reducing the number of hours firemen work from 84 to 60. Another point of contention will arise between the county administrator and outside social service agencies which have requested county funding. Barrows recommended against most requests.

About 20 outside agencies are seeking $825,000 and Barrows is recommending funding for nine at $250,000. The groups, which form the Marin Council of Agencies, have launched a letter writing campaign to supervisors urging that 1.5 per cent of the total budget be allocated to them. That amounts to about $760,000 of the $51.3 million proposed budget. Supervisors have slated budget hearings to begin June 12 and continue for seven working days.
