Lobsinger who was arrested on charges of assaulting an anti-war priest in Detroit, drew marxist Recorders Court Judge Justin Ravitz, for his trial. Objecting to Ravitz as a "Jewish communist", he de- manded Ravitz' removal from the case. For the removal case, Lobsinger drew Jewish Recorders Court Judge Susan Bormann, who denied the petition. Lobsinger, subsequently went to Federal District Court to have his case removed to another court. The pe- tition by the avowed white supremicist was heard by Federal Judge Damon Kieth, a black. He, too, denied Lobsinger's peti- tion. Lobsinger will now appear before Ravitz. * ** * Winter dream With snow all around us, we can only wish: -New York City normally gets 26 to 30 inches of snow each winter. With winter officially ending Tuesday, the city has had only 2.06 inches of snow so far. The previous record low snowfall for the city was 3.08 inches in 1918-1919. Unless there is unexpect- ed snow before Tuesday, city officials say the city will have saved about $4 million this year on snow removal. They should sent their savings as reparations to Ann Arbor. Mama's boy Yesterday's mammoth snowstorm was a record-setter in many ways. For Daily City Editor Charles Stein, the snow provided him with the first opportunity in three winters to put on his rubber galoshes. "My mother would be proud, if she could see me now," remarked Stein.

Rain stopped just before the noon starting time, as the "luck of the Irish" came through with mild temperatures and partly-sunny skies prevailing. It took five hours for the nearly 250 bands and other marching units to wind their way down the Avenue past a reviewing stand in front of St. Pattick's Cathedral. Parade organizers permitted marchers to carry signs bearing only one slogan: "England-Get Out of Ire- land." All other slogans were banned. Happy ending The terrible tale of the $2875 in SGC funds given to ex- Treasurer Dave Schaper last fall has careened to a happy end- ing. Unlike SGC's accounts, which have no record of where the money went, the Council for Black Concerns (CBC) books show that the cash went to CBC on a one-year loan and now sits safely within their account.

Plot to k*ill' Lon Nol a failure PHNOM PENH, (Reuter)- A plane piloted by the son- in-law of deposed head-of- s t a t e Norodom Sihanouk bombed the presidential pal- ace yesterday in an apparent effort to assassinate Presi- dent Lon Nol. Twenty people were killed. A Cambodian air force T-28 pro- peller bomber, flown by Captain So Potra, estranged husband of one of Prince Sihanouk's daugh- ters, swooped low over the presi- dential palace compound while the Cabinet was meeting and dropped two 250-lb. bombs, according to Government Information Minister Keam Reath. Reath told a press conference they failed to intercept the plane, which was believed to have land- ed in a Communist-occupied dis- trict on the South Vietnamese bor- der, according to intelligence re- ports. He declined to say whether the captain had accomplices. The bombs missed the main buildings but hitsan army bar- racks area, killing at least 20 people, and wounding 35. Some of the killed and injured were said to be wives and children of the sol- diers sta -ned in the barracks. Lon Nol, who was preparing for modest celebrations today com- memorating the third anniversary of the coup which - overthrew Prince Sihanouk, was said to be unhurt. Lon Nol went on the radio short- ly afterwards and said, "They tried to destroy our republic. But God has protected our person." The T-28 bomber was believed to have taken off from Pochenton Air Base outside Phnom Penh. Captain So Potra had recently been assigned to ground duties there. At the air base ,air force per- sonnel immediately began to man checkpoints and bunkers, turning back both civilians and army troops arriving from the capital. But there was no sign of any widespread revolt against Presi- dent Lon Nol, although a variety of officials, both Cambodian and foreign, believe there has been a rapid erosion of popular support for his government. The bombing incident came only hours after at least two people were killed and several wounded when grenades were thrown into a rally of 10,000 protesting teach- ers and students at Phnom Penh University. There has been considerable un- rest among this group recently over what they regard as a steady deterioration in the standard 'of living, principally caused by ram- pant inflation in the capital un- accompanied by pay rises. The month-old strike at the uni- versity has spread to all the na- tion's schoolsanddhas become the focus of popular discontent over spiraling wartime inflation. s Roads, power-lines paralyzed bystorm By ANN RAUMA with wire service reports With only three days left, Old Man Winter yesterday proved he has plenty of fury left by buffeting the eastern third of the nation with an intense winter storm, accom- panied by gale force winds. While inland Michigan was blanketed with heavy snow and gale-like winds, the state's eastern shoreline was par- alyzed by heavy flooding. The heavy snow and icing throughout Michigan downed scattered telephone and elec- tric power lines.

If things go off according to plan, however, we may all get a sneak preview of some of those incredible visions. For on the weekend of April 13, 14 and 15, the University will be the scene of a Future World's Festival. Originally conceived as an in- tensive schedule of lectures, ex- hibits, concerts and panel discus- sions the festival, at least in the planning stages, has mushroom- ed into a stirring time-machine transformation of the University. The festival is an off-shoot of the Future 'Worlds Lecture Ser- ies, a UAC-sponsored course which has featured such reknowed lecturers as B.F. Skin- ner and Buckminster Fuller and has generated' a new conscious- ness of the future among Uni- versity students a n d faculty alike. Phase one of the festival plan calls for inviting experts from every field to attend the gather- in g. "No observers," explained Fes- tival chairperson Mike Namark, "just participants," roaming the festival in costumes they would enjoy wearing in the future, throwing their concoctions into a pot-luck "future feast" in the Diag,-and even constructing shelters - future materials pro- vided of course. , T'raia dpt T our down memory lane By LAURA BERMAN OK, it is 1942 and you're down at the train depot with everybody else because the Wolverines are chugging into town on the Football Special. So you're wearing appropriate attire-no jeans. And the marching band is bounding up from State St. and the cheerleaders are bouncing on the depot roof and the locomotive grinds to a steamy halt. It is a very hectic scene. "Those were the days when kids were kids and college was college," says Viola Aldrich, and you can hear the nostalgia crawl into her voice. "Way back then, students knew how to have fun- people wanted the real thing out of life." Aldrich, a 25-year veteran of the depot where she served as ticket-seller, seems to remember it all. Like Alice Lloyd riding her bicycle to the depot in peddle pushers every day; or former University President James Ingalls sending a regular bouquet of flowers--a futile attempt to cheer the dark depths of the station. Or the local physician who met his mistress on the train every weekend. "Our problem is living togethe in the future. We want to shar our visions and create an en vironment, capsulate time righl here," said Ron Nutter, head o Corntree Day Care Center. "We'll say to the experts," h continued, "don't just tell m about it. Show me how to d it." As designers of the Festival' own future, Future Worlds' ar ganizers have. already run int a problem which is puzzling th most experienced city planner -the scarcity of space, in thi case, subject to University pei mission. As plans now stand ,the Dia and part of E. University will b available for festival activities. But committee members ar looking further for more bizarr space which could be put t creative use. "Som peoplehave suggeste the University tunnel system, but I doubt we could ever get it, Namark mused. More feasibly, a University parking structure with its open free-form contours appeals t many -committee members asa futuristic setting. Also part of the organizers "dream" is a geodesic dome 3 feet in diameter to serve asa festival center with video-tap viewing boxes, showing activitie all over campus.

They sleep on matsI on communal concrete platforms with barely the room to turn over. They share one stinking toilet and two water taps. During the day the women are allowed out in their dusty, bare- earth compound. Overnight they are locked in. If an attendant opens the door the more frenzied women crowd around her, others stare sullenly from where they lie complaining of suffocation.- These women are only a few of the thousands of psychologically disturbed cases resulting from Vietnam's long years of war. Some 2.000 cases of sI~ chizo- able to give patients the space to live in privacy. According to Hiep, two per cent of South Vietnam's population are suffering mental instability due to the war. "Some have had husbands or children killed, some have become separated from their families. Others have been dodging the draft or cracked under the strain of poverty," he says. Yet the country has only one mental home,and only four psy- chiatrists. Mentally sick soldiers are catered for with 100 beds at Saigon's largest military hospital. Hiep is the only one of eight doctors at Bien Hoa who had had I psychiatric training. That was a one-year course in London.
