Court rejects investigation
LANSING-The State Supreme Court has refused to investi-
gate the unprecedented and mysterious proceedings which kept
Detroit's voting precincts open until after 9:40 p.m. Tuesday. The
court rejected a motion by Justice Eugene Black that it call for
certified copies of the proceedings in Wayne Circuit Court and
the state's Court of Appeals-proceedings which resulted in poll
lines staying open past the legal 8 p.m. cutoff of newcomers, and
then ruling a reversal of that at 9:15 by a special appeals court
panel.
Vets protest
ALPENA-A small group of Vietnam war veterans yester-
day ended a two-day action protesting Tuesday's defeat of Pro-
posal E, which would have permitted the state to borrow $226
million to pay for bonuses for veterans. The veterans vowed
however to carry the demonstration to Lansing. The protest be-
gan Thursday night as veterans carried lighted candles and
draped their old uniforms and combat medals on utility poles.
O'Brien drops a hint?
WASHINGTON-Lawrence O'Brien, who twice served as
chairman of the Democratic party, said yesterday he might be
available for another term at the party helm, if chairwoman
Jean Westwood leaves the job. Westwood, Sen. George McGov-
ern's hand-picked head of the Democratic National Committee
has said flatly she intends to keep the post. O'Brien said he as-
sumes Westwood will seek a vote of confidence next month at the
meeting of the Democratic National Committee. Several long-
term party members, however, have already called for her
resignation.
Report from Russia
MOSCOW-A clandestine group of amateur journalists who
compile the Chronicle of Currents Events have again defeated
a security police drive to suppress the publication. The Chronicle,
an underground report on the fate of Soviet political dissenters,
reached foreign correspondents this week. The latest issue, the
27th to appear since it was launched in 1968, says 12 political
trials have been held in the Ukraine in recent months. It also
updates its running list of political prisoners, records police
searches, and digests protest letters to authorities.
Pigeon control
PARIS-Birth control may be in the offing for the pigeons of
Paris. Officials said yesterday the city's 400,000 pigeons may
soon be fed a contraceptive diet of corn and an ovulation-prevent-
ing chemical in an effort to reduce problems of noise, hygiene
and dirt.
Mice, not men?
SACRAMENTO, Calif.-The Great Giftwrapped Mouse Caper
had California's Capitol in a tizzy Friday. Five women who
say they don't believe in women's liberation delivered live white
mice in ribbon-wrapped boxes to 28 state senators. "This is our
way of saying you're mice, not men" for voting to ratify the
equal rights amendment to the U.S. Constitution, said Gloria
Macklin. The all-male California Senate voted 28-9 on Thursday
to pass the amendment. State police took the women and as
many mouse boxes as they could find to headquarters and tried
to figure out what to do. The women were released after about
half an hour with no charges filed.

After 29 hours at the controls, an exhausted pilot safely
landed his crippled jetliner in Cuba early today with his co-
pilot wounded, possibly dead, and the three hijackers holding
their guns on the 30 persons aboard, authorities said.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said the
Southern Airways DC9, several of its - tires shot out by FBI
marksmen as it left Orlando, Fla., and its oil situation "ex-
tremely critical," put down safely at Jose Marti Airport in
Havana for the second time in less than 12 hours, at 12:32
a.m. EST, in the latest act of an airborne drama that took
it from Alabama to Canada and a string of other cities since
the sky pirates took over Friday night.
Havana radio reported that passengers were being led
off, but not the hijackers.
The hijackers circled the Florida'
Keys late last night, demanding to
be hooked by radio with President
Nixon at his bayside retreat in Key
Biscayne.
There was no reply from Nixon,
but Transportation Secretary John
Volpe was heard trying to reach
the hijackers on Nixon's behalf.
However, he was unable to es-
tablish radio contact.
