Dis-; trict Judge John J. Sirica on Monday accused President Nixon of attempting to "abridge the independence" of Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, and ordered the White House to surrender tape recordings of 64 more conversations subpe-! naed by Jaworski. A White House spokesman promptly announced that Sirica's order would be appealed before the May 31 deadline that Sirica set for the tapes to be delivered to his court. Later Monday, Jaworski charged that Mr. Nixon is making "A farce" of the special prosecutor's office by refusing to comply with subpe-nas despite his public pledges I of cooperation.

The White House declined comment on a letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Commit-! tee by Jaworski, complaining that Mr. Nixon's lawyer, A Philadelphia Inquirer GERVASE J. ROZANSKI Bernie Parent and his wife are the center of adulation as the parade reached Broad and Chestnut Hockey Hooky Is the Order of the Day By JIM MANN, Inquirer Staff Writer Philadelphia's Stanley Cup champions paraded through the streets Monday to be cheered, toasted and mobbed by the largest crowd within memory in this city. In a two-and-a-half-hour motorcade, from the Spectrum passing along Broad and Chestnut and in subsequent ceremon'es at Independence Mall, the Flyers were given a reception to match the dreams of a politician or a returning general. Confetti and streamers wafted from the windows of buildings along the route of the motorcade.

At a few locations, police lines held back surging crowds, but in most places the Flyer fans surrounded the cars holding the players, banging on windows and pouring beer onto their hockey stars. Police Commissioner Joseph F. O'Neill estimated that 2 million people took part in the victory demonstration, including about 60,000 at Independence Mall. "There's never been a this size in my time," O'Neill said. City officials said they believed Monday's turnout in Philadelphia, whose metropolitan area has 4.8 million people, was even larger than the ones marking the end.

of World War II. None of the city's other major championship teams of recent times such as the Eagles football team of 1960 and the 76ers basketball team of 1967 received anything comparable to the demonstration Monday. It was perfect weather for a celebration, a sunny late-spring day with temperatures in the 70s; At the Spectrum, scene of the Flyers' final triumph over the Boston Bruins, the players carrying bottles of champagne and accompanied by their wives and girl friends gathered for the parade. As they walked out to their cars, they were cheered by two or three thousand fans. "He's gorgeous.

I love him," shrieked one teen-age girl as goalie Bernie Parent walked past. Parent, the star of the playoffs, seemed to be the crowd's first love, with Dave Schultz or Bobby Clarke coming in a close second. One fan along the parade route carried a sign that said "Bernie Parent for President, Bobby Clarke for Mayor." Another waved a two-line sign that read, "Bernie, Ber-nieImpeach Nixon." Many in the crowd were drinking beer or pop wine (See MOTORCADE on 2-A) More photos, perspectives and explanations in Sports, 1-D Monday an official holiday. "We had calls all morning from parents wanting to know if it was a school day or not," said Bernard Rafferty, principal of Lincoln High School. "When I arrived at my office at 8 A.

The courtroom fight Monday a replay of the one that led to the firing of former Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox last October is likely to go all the way to the Supreme Court. Jaworski obtained the sub-pena on April 18 after the White House refused to turn over any more evidence to him. The additional tapes were sought by both prosecution and defense lawyers for the trial of seven former Nixon aides charged with covering up the Watergate scandal. Nixon's Plea The President's lawyer, James St.

Clair, moved to quash the subpena. He argued that Mr. Nixon has a right to withold confidential information under the doctrine of executive privilege, and that Jaworski hadn't established a compelling need for the tapes. He also argued that the courts had no right to interfere in a dispute between the President and an official of the executive branch. Sirica slapped down the White House arguments in a sharply worded, eight-page order.

He noted that the appeals court rejected the President's claim of absolute executive privilege in the dispute with Cox over the original Watergate tapes last fall. He said it was up to the courts to decide each specific claim of confidentiality on its merits. The judge also said he thought Jaworski had set forth adequate grounds for demanding the tapes, which cover Mr. Nixon's conversa? (See WATERGATE on S-A) sts.

Political Pace Quickens As Primary Drive Ends By RAY HOLTON Inquirer Staff Writer The Democratic caucus of the City Council voted Monday to support a $24 to $30 increase in the average homeowner's yearly property tax to raise $16.2 million for city schools. Eight Democrats supported the proposed tax increase of $3 for every $1,000 assessed valuation. Combined with the anticipated support from the council's Republican minority, this would provide enough votes to pass a tax-increase bill but not quite supply the 12 votes needed to override an expected veto by Mayor Frank L. Rizzo. The tax revenues from the proposed increase would reduce the school district's estimated budget deficit for next year from $35 million to about $19 million.

Democratic leaders in the council hope their bill will demonstrate enough "local initiative" to persuade the Shapp administration and the state Legislature to give Philadelphia schools the remaining $19 million to balance the budget. The tax increase measure is scheduled to be reported to the council floor Thursday and voted on next week. Rizzo has said he would veto any tax increase legislation. The eight Democrats solidly for the tax increase are: Council President George X. Cities: Mid-Size Boom Towns money from the Democratic City Committee.
