"I want those decisions that affect rural America made by people who know rural America, 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 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 In all, the executive seeks $16 billion in various types of revenue sharing, which he said would eliminate "the cumbersome restrictions that now follow federal funds." The chief executive also argued at length for cutting the to eight and, in the present 12 Cabinet departments abolishing the Agriculture Department and reassigning its 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 realize that it's one bomb in one washroom." Scott also took the occasion to criticize federal judges in the District of Columbia, them of too much leniency. He said even if the person who placed the bomb is arrested "my guess would be they'll never go to jail, not with the type of appellate court we have in the District of Columbia." Police, Army and FBI investigators identity were of the seeking male caller to 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 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-perhaps 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 the public but generally only known about by people working in the area -was a grey hulk filled with tiny pieces of plumbing fixtures 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, broken. another 50 feet away, was 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.

in Des Moines Speech Protest DES MOINES (AP) Pres-. ident Nixon delivered his 21 minute speech before a jamhi med House chamber bathed in the glare of television flood lights. He stood beneath a beaming) portrait of himself, Washington by portraits of and Lincoln. He was interrupted by applause three times. He and Gov.

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 appeal by Richard C. Turner, the attorney general of Iowa, in a case involving an underground newspaper at Grinnell College he thought was obscene. Turner arranged with the printer to have a copy of the newspaper, "Pterodactyl," turned over to agents. The attorney 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 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 judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court in St. Louis, one of whose members was Harry A.

Blackmun now a Supreme Court justice upheld that ruling. Turner then appealed to the Supreme Court.

County From Page 1A he believed that only official motions are required lished. And as to "comments from the floor," he said, "I not think the law requires it." The matter of a night meeting was brought up by Mrs.

Ann Mutchler, a member of the Citizen's Committee for which has filed a petition with the county asking Woodard's reinstatement. Mrs. Mutchler also said there ought to be more coverage, by meetings. the news media Mrs. Rogers said she attended a seminar in Cedar Rapids at which Russell Iowa State University faculty' member, urged night meetings by governing bodies, saying they increase citizen participation and understanding of government issues.

Burns noted that a two-day upcoming meeting between trus- the Board of Supervisors and tees of the 21 rural townships has been scheduled. The meeting will deal mostly with issues housof county roads, but open es 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 objected by the board on the basis that the warrant was paid before the board gave official approval. The board should object to the other warrants as well instead of implying that Mr.

Woodard broke the law," charged the Sharon township constable. "Approval signatures were erased from the ambulance telephone voucher and 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 any changes they wish to Bartel also charged that Sheriff Maynard E. Schnelder had sent a letter to the county attorney and that it had been presented to the board during its Jan.

4, 1971, meeting and that that letter should be a part of the public record. Presumably, he was referring to a letter which he has said, was critical of Woodard and alleged activities at the ambulance 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 recommendations.

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.

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 testing ground" for potential parolees, he said. Eventually prisoners convicted of violent crimes will tested on work-release because "ultimately they're going to released anyway," said Casey. Morgan's escape shows 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.

20, remain large. Morgan was described as feet, inches tall, weighing 155 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a checkered coat.
