Casey said "it depends" whether prisoners with escape records are placed on work-re -lease. However, prisoners," who are within six months of parole eligibility when placed on work release are "ultimately going to go anyway," he said. Work-release "is the best test-ing ground" for potential parolees, he said. Eventually prisoners convicted of violent crimes will be tested on work-release because "ultimately they're going to be released anyway," said Casey.

Morgan's escape shows he was "probably not ready" for work-release, Casey said. Morgan is the fifth convict to escape from the Half-way House since the house opened last June 15. Morgan and another man, Glen Dobbe, who escaped Oct. 20, remain at large. Morgan was described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighing 155 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair.

He was last seen wearing a checkered coat. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Soviet Union called on Britain and other big Western powers today to press Israel into an early withdrawal from its war-won Arab territories as part of a general Middle East settlement. The move came in London when the Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Smimovsky met at his own request with Prime Minis ter Edward Heath and argued that Israel's latest refusal to pull out of war-occupied Arab territories set back prospects for peace. Soviet ambassadors in Paris and Washington were making similar approaches to the chiefs of the French and U.S. governments, diplomats in London said.

The Soviet diplomatic inter vention came as Arab-Israeli i peace moves, through the mis sion of U.N. mediator Gunnar V. Jarring entered a delicate new phase. Israel's reply to rer cent Egyptian suggestions has just been delivered. A convict from the Anamosa State Reformatory walked away from the Half-way House here Sunday less than two years after he escaped from university Hospital.

Desoite his escape record, the convict, Douglas Morgan, 24, was brought here on the work-release program Jan. 3, according to Patrick Casey, reforma tory official. Casey said Morgan received permission about 8 p.m. Sunday to go to the City Recreation Center for two hours. Morgan did not return at 10 p.m.

and authorities were notified about two hours later. Morean had had an argument with his employers at Assem blers in West Liberty earlier in the day, and that may have precipitated his escape, Casey said.

He stood beneath a beaming portrait of himself, flanked by portraits of Washington and Lincoln. He was interrupted by applause three times. He and Gov.

Ray came in together and received a 45-second standing ovation. The President received another 45-second ovation after Gov. Ray introduced him for his speech. The President received a 75-second ovation as he ended his speech and another ovation as he made his way from the chamber, shaking hands with state officals and employes and the justices of the Irwa Supreme Court. Demonstrators were gathered on the plaza on the west side of the Capitol.

The President's motorcade turned off a block before reaching the area where the demonstrators were gathered, circled around to the east side of the building while many demonstraters ran full speed to get around the building before the president went in. Men in Tuxes Strew Feathers In Burge Hall A group of young men dressed in tuxedos spent about half an hour in Burge Hall dormitory Sunday afternoon discharging a fire extinguisher and strewing pillow feathers about the halls, University Security officers re ported today. William Binney, director of security, said that housekeeping employes at Burge were "checking on the scope" of the prank this morning, but that there appeared to be no major damage.

Nixon From Page 1A eluding the Agriculture Department. "I want those decisions that affect rural America made by people who know rural Ameri ca, and the people who know a place best live there," he said. "To put it bluntly I believe that legislators in Iowa know better than bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. what is best for Iowa." Accompanied by Mrs. Nixon and four Cabinet members, Nixon flew to Iowa for the first in a series of regional forays to promote administration legislation.

Nixon took the occasion to announce that he is adding $100 million to the $1 billion he originally proposed in special revenue sharing for rural community development. He said the $1.1 billion total for the coming fiscal year represents "24 per cent more for rural development programs than is being made available to the states under existing categorical grant programs." In all, the chief executive seeks $16 billion in various types of revenue sharing, which he said would eliminate "the cum bersome restrictions that now follow federal funds." The chief executive also argued at length for cutting the present 12 Cabinet departments to eight and, in the process, abolishing the Agriculture Department and reassigning its functions. Blast From Page 1A House of Representatives. It also caused the most extensive damage to the building since the British set it afire in 1814. Scott said the effect of the bombing will be unfortunate, both in this country and interna tionally.

"It's likely to be exaggerated," he said. "They won't real ize that it's one bomb in one washroom Scott also took the occasion to criticize federal judges in the District of Columbia, accusing them of too much leniency. He said even if the person who placed the bomb is arrested "my guess would be they'll nev er go to jail, not with the type of appellate court we have in the District of Columbia." Police, Army and FBI investi gators were seeking clues to the identity of the male caller who warned the Capitol switchboard: "The Capitol building will blow up in 30 minutes." Half an hour later, at 1:32 a.m. EST, the bomb exploded. Capitol Police Chief James Powell said one of his officers was within 200 feet of the blast but escaped injury despite windows breaking "right over his head." The blast gutted a men's room directly across from the Old Senate Chamber, blasted doors off their hinges in several surrounding rooms, and blew out windows all the way out to the Senate's front door per haps 125 feet.

Bricks, doors, lighting and other fixtures were piled high in a corridor when newsmen were allowed a brief inspection about six hours after the blast. The men's room open to thel public but generally only known about by people working in the area was a grey hulk filled with tiny pieces of plumbing fix tures and grey plaster rubble. It was almost impossible to tell it had been a rest room. A red brick wall on one side of the men's room was badly cracked and bulging out into the corridor. Plaster molding on the corridor wall was blown away and littered the floor along with glass from broken windows.

Gold lace curtains were pushed out against and sometimes through broken windows all the way down to the ornately painted committee and reception rooms on the north end of the Senate Chamber. The front door, another 50 feet away, was broken. The Senate barber shop, across a small hallway from the men's room, was badly littered and mirrors and windows were shattered but the barber chairs and other heavy equipment! were not mangled or moved DES MOINES (AP) More than 300 letters from Iowa churchmen urging the U. S. to speedup withdrawal of all military personnel from Southeast Asia were presented to President Nixon here today.

The Rev. Paul King, executive officer of the Iowa Council of Churches, said the letters were conveyed to the President at the Statehouse through a presidential aide. The Rev. Mr. King said the letters, plus a statement from over 500 clergymen and laymen, challenged the Vietnamization policy and urged an accelerated withdrawal of U.S.

troops. The statement and letters, he said, represented the Iowa Coun cil of Churches, the Des Moines Area Council of Churches and various churches, including the Catholic Church. High Court Turns Down Turner Plea WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court let stand today a ruling that a search warrant or a prior hearing is required before state officers "seize" underground newspapers. The court turned down an ap peal by Richard C. Turner, the attorney general of Iowa, in a case involving an underground newspaper at Grmnell College he thought was obscene.

Turner arranged with the printer to have a copy of the newspaper, "Pterodactyl," turn ed over to agents. The attor ney general said that since the printer agreed voluntarily, the newspaper was not "seized" in a constitutional sense. Therefore, Turner said, the agents did not need a search warrant and a prior hearing on the question of obscenity was not required. The Supreme Court ruled in a Kansas case in 1964 that even if policemen have a warrant they cannot seize an allegedly obscene book unless the book has been judged obscene at a hearing first. U.S.

Dist. Court Judge Roy L. Stephenson of Des Moines ruled Turner's men had violated the 1964 ruling. He ordered the copy returned to the editors. A three- judge panel of the U.S.

Circuit Court in St. Louis, one of whose members was Harry A. Black- mun now a Supreme Court jus tice upheld that ruling. Turner then appealed to the Supreme Court.

County From Page 1A he believed that only official motions are required to be pub lished. And as to "comments from the floor," he said, "I do not think the law requires it." The matter of a night meeting was brought up by Mrs. Ann Mutchler, a member of the Citi zen's Committee for Woodard which has filed a petition with the county asking Woodard's re instatement.

Mrs. Mutchler also said there ought to be more coverage bv the news media on board meetings. Mrs. Rogers said she attended a seminar in Cedar Rapids at which Russell Pound, Iowa State University faculty member, urged night meetings by govern ing bodies, saying they increase citizen participation and understanding of government issues. Burns noted that a two-day upcoming meeting between the Board of Supervisors and trus tees of the 21 rural townships has been scheduled.

The meet ing will deal mostly with issues of county roads, but open houses and other specifically informational meetings are being considered for the future, he said. In regard to the $34,000 plus and the phone bill, Bartel charg ed that "Only one (the phone bill) of these warrants and corresponding vouchers were ob- iected to by the board on the basis that the warrant was paid before the board gave official approval. The board should ob ject to the other warrants as well instead of implying that Mr. Woodard broke the charged the Sharon township constable. "Approval signatures were erased from the ambulance telephone voucher and it was then implied that the telephone voucher never had approval of any sort." He said any obliteration of public records with intent to 'defraud is forgery under the law.

"In the future," he suggested, "the board should simply cross off any changes they wish to make." Bartel also charged that sher iff Maynard E. Schneider had sent a letter to the county at torney and that it had been presented to the board during its Jan. 4, 1971, meeting ana that that letter should be a part of the public record. Presumably, he was reiernng to a letter which he has said was critical of Woodard and al leged activities at the ambu lance service headquarters. The ambulance service issue is now under the study of a special citizen's committee which is holding closed sessions, but which is to make a public report on its findings and re commendations.
