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.

A statement from Little and Remiro claimed theywere All seven categories of serious beaten by prison guards and threatened with death. crime were up from 1973 levels,' "Since this whole circus is for the benefit of others, we'd with the sharpest jump - 20 rather not be present," the statement said. per cent - in thefts, other than motor vehicles. BURGLARIES rose! 17 per cent, robberies 14 per cent and rape and aggravated assault nine per cent each. The rise in murders was fiver per cent, car thefts reflected the smallest increase, four per cent. Taken together, the crimes against property - burglary, car thefts and non-motor vehicle thefts - climbed 17 per cent.

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.
