NEW YORK AP-An explosion
ripped the second floor of police
headquarters last night, apparent-
ly the result of a bomb planted in
a restroom by someone who'
breached the building's strict se-
curity screen.
"It appeared to be a bomb," fire
officials reported.
At least three persons were in-
jured--police Lt. Charles Reuther,
Detective James Dempsey and a
woman elevator operator not im-
mediately identified by name. Four
ambulances had converged on the
scene in anticipation of heavier,
casualties. The trio reportedly
were not seriously hurt.
There were no top officials of
the department in the building at
the time.

A Thai air force chief arrived in Phnom
Phen Tuesday to work out tactics for supporting
air strikes in the area of Siem Rep, near the
historic ruins of Angkor Wat, and other north-
west- points under communist pressure, one
source said.
Siem Rep is 80 miles east of the border of
Thailand. The Cambodian air force is woefully
short of planes, and battles now erupting across
the country have overextended its capabilities.
The Cambodian force consists of 28 U.S. Air
Force trainers converted into bombers and two
flyable MIGs built in the Soviet Union which
carry only two bombs each.
The South Vietnamese have on several oc-
casions provided close air support during major
battles in Cambodia, notably at Kompong Cham

has six combat wings each consisting of one to

a number of Saber-pet fighter bombers, and six
squadrons of piston-engine aircraft for security
duty. The total strength is about 250 aircraft
and 25,000 men.

One of the eight, Hugh Sloan,

visiting Columbia University that
the depth of antiwar feeling there
was considerably stronger than he
had imagined.
After Sloan's meeting with Co-

Prof. Charles Frankel of the phi-

also met with Sloan, told report-

National Lakeshore in northwest-
ern Michigan was taken on two
fronts early this week.
The Michigan Legislature is now
on record as being in favor of giv-
ing the federal government 8,553
acres of state-owned land for the
project. The Legislature is also
telling local units of government

where the proposad park will lie,
that they will not suffer any tax
loss through the turnover of the
tpmroperty.
The action came Monday as the
Senate passed two resolutions.
One, sponsored by Rep. Ray Smit
(R-Ann Arbor), advises Congress
that the Legislature will revise a
1966 law so that the land can be
donated by the state for the park.
The other, proposed by Sen.
John F. Toepp (R-Cadillac), seeks
to guarantee that local units of
government, including school dis-
tricts, will not suffer a tax loss.
Smit's resolution was cleared by
both houses of the Legislature and
copies will be sent to President
Nixon, Vice President Agnew.
Speaker John McCormack, the 19
members of the Michigan dele-
gation to Congi'ess and to Gov'.
William Milliken.
In Congress, House Interior sub-,
committee hearings indicated that
the legislation to create the park
will probably be approved by Con-
gress.
The bill, which has -been intro-
duedein each Congress since 1961,
has twice passed the Senate, but
died in the House.
This year the House is moving
first. M i chig an congressional
sources say that Rep. Wayne As-
pinall (D-Colo), chairman of the
House Interior Committee, will
support the creation of the lake-
shore area.
If it passes the House, it is ex-
pected to gain quick Senate ap-
proval where it is sponsored by
Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich).
Support for the bill came Mon-
day from George B. Herzog, di-
rector of the National Park &S'v-
ice and Rep. Guy Vander Jagt (R-
Traverse City), who represents the
district where the park will be
located. Vander Jagt, as a state
senator opposed the bill until this
year. His predecessor, Robe.t P.
Griffin, now U.S. Senator, also
opposed the park when he repre-
sented the district. Griffin now
supports it as well.
Herzog noted that the park is
located within a day's drive of
some 20 million people.
The park area includes 61,000
acres of which 41,000 acres en-
compass North and South Manitou
Islands in northern Lake Michi-
gan.
Herzog also estimated that five
years after the park is established
it will be drawing three million
visitors annually.,

case of accused
Song My murderer
WASHINGTON (/P) -- The Army yesterday
dismissed "for lack of evidence" all charges
against an officer accused in the alleged mas-
sacre of civilians in the My Lai area of South
Vietnam.
Capt. Thomas K. Willingham, 25, was accused
of unpremeditated murder in the killing of 20
Vietnamese civilians with rifles and machine-
gun March 16, 1968, near My Khe 4, a hamlet
two miles east of My Lai 4 where 12 other
Americans are alleged to have killed civilians
on the 'same day.
The incident in which Willingham was
charged represented a second episode separate
from that alleged to have occurred at My Lai.
Lt. William L. Calley Jr. is to be court-
martialed on charges of premedit'ated murder in
connection with the deaths of 102 civilians at
My Lai.
Both Calley and Willingham commanded
platoons in different companies which were
operating jointly March 16, 1968 in Song My.
which encompasses several hamlets and sup-
posedly was the headquarters area for a Vit
Cong batallion.
Willingham was also accused of making false
official statements in violation of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice and of misprison of a
