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. By the AP, UPI and Reuters 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.

The letter, according to the sources, urged Thieu to "recognize the trends of peace in the world."

Scores of U.S. military and com- mercially chartered transports poured into Saigon's Tan Son Nhut air base and the Phnom Penh air base carrying hundreds of tons of war materials for the South Viet- namese and Cambodians.

Two pilots were reported rescued and one was missing. In South Vietnam, 35 rounds of big 122mm rockets hit Bien Hoa Air Base, 15 miles northwest of Saigon. The base is one of the major points of arrival for stepped up shipments of supplies and equipment in anticipation of a' cease-fire agreement that would restrict American military aid. Casualties from the two rocket barrages early today were reported as three Vietnamese children kill- ed, and seven Vietnamese air force men and four civilian women wounded.
