Court avoids cancer controversy
WASHINGTON (A) - The Supreme Court declined yesterday,
at least for the present, to step into two environmental contro-
versies over possible cancer-causing industrial agents.
The court rejected a request by three Midwestern states and
a number of environmental groups ,that it set a two-year deadline
for an end to pollution of Lake Superior by Reserve Mining Co.
Reserve Mining discharges taconite waste containing asbes-
tos fibers, identified as a possible cause of cancer, from its iron
ore processing plants at Silver Bay, Minn.
The court also refused to set aside standards established
by the Labor Department to limit the exposure of workers in
the plastics industry to vinyl chloride.
The government, defending its standards for vinyl chloride,
said the substance is known to cause cancer in man in some
cases and that 13 workers have died from exposure to it.
SLA members won't attend trial
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (P) - Joseph Remiro and Russell Lit-
tle, announcing their allegiance to the Symbionese Liberation
Army and calling themselves prisoners of war, were granted
permission today to be absent from most of their murder trial.
Remiro and Little, charged in the November 1973 cyanide-
filled bullet assassination of Oakland schools Supt. Marcus Fos-
ter, also condemned the "murder of our six SLA comrades" in a
Los Angeles shootout with police last May.
SUPERIOR COURT Judge Elvin Sheehy granted the defen-
dants' motion to excuse them from the courtroom except when
absolutely necessary. Sheehy did not specify what occasions
might require their presence. The defendants were able to watch
jury selection proceedings today 'on closed circuit television
from a cell in the basement of the courthouse.

FBI says crime rose in'74
WASHINGTON, (Reu-

Investigation (FBI) reported
yesterday that serious crimes
in the United States in 1974
rose 17 per cent above 1973 to-
tals - perhaps the most drastic
one-year increase in history.

Dallas clamps down on nudity
A new city ordinance against nudity has gone into effect in
Dallas, Texas. One of the first signs that the unfortunate new law
is working was the censorship of last week's cover of Newsweek
magazine, which depicted a Vietnamese mother carrying the
bullet-ridden body of her child. Dallas bookstore owners found
it within reason to paste white labels across the child's genital
area. However, they did neglect to cover over the bullet holes.
Daley expected to win easily
CHICAGO (M - Chicago voters are expected to give Mayor
Richard Daley an easy victory today and four more years in
the office he has held for two decades. A win would give the
mayor another chance to play presidential power broker.
Daley, who thumped three challengers in the February Dem-
ocratic primary, faces Republican John Hoellen and Willie Mae
Reid, a candidate of the Socialist Workers party. Both are
running a thankless race on a shoestring budget in a city where
neither party is a match for the Daley organization.
THE Democratic juggernaut in the primary election gave
Daley nearly 58 per cent of the vote in a four-way race. It was
the first time any Democrat mounted a challenge to Daley.
That victory was so decisive that Hoellen remarked imme-
diately afterwards that he felt like dropping out of the race.
One of the reasons for Hoellen's pessimism was his loss of the
aldermanic seat he had held since 1947.
A Democrat has been mayor of Chicago since 1931 and a
win by Hoellen would be an upset of unprecedented proportions.
Daley, 72, has been mayor since 1955.
