A teeny tiny teepee?
This strange contraption, whatever it is, suddenly appeared on the lawn in front of Strong Hall Wednesday. Just as suddenly it was gone and no one was sure just what it was or what it was doing there.
Cradle toboggan rescues baby from snow avalanche
RECKINGEN, Switzerland (UPI) — The wooden cradle of 11-month-old Ursula Karlen acted as a toboggan Tuesday when a snow avalanche crushed this Alpine village, carrying her unharmed through the disaster that killed
her mother and seriously injured her father.

"I saw the avalanche coming down and I couldn't believe my eyes," said Christian Steffan, who fled his own home in his pajamas. "In the middle of the huge, tossing avalanche, there was this cradle being thrown about on top—just like a toboggan."

Panther hearings halted
NEW YORK (UPI)—The presiding judge at pre-trial hearings for 13 Black Panthers charged with a bombing conspiracy recessed the preceedings Wednesday after three weeks of disruptions by the defendants and spectators.
State Supreme Court Justice John M. Murtagh blamed the defendants' "contemptuous behavior" for his unusual move. He said he would consider favorably a written motion to resume the hearings only if it accompanied by "an unequivocal assurance that the defendants are now prepared to participate in a trial under the American system of criminal justice."
Murtagh had warned Tuesday that he had "a formula" which he would impose in a week or two if the defendants did not behave. But when the Panthers shook their fists and shouted "All power to the people" as they were brought into court Wednesday, Murtagh announced, "The continued misconduct persuades me to use the formula without further delay."
"The court declares the proceedings recessed indefinitely," he said. "The hearings are proceeding at snail's pace and are continually being interrupted. The defendants are unwilling to proceed . . . the court has no alternative."
Reduced tax proposed
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate, at the urging of two of its flying members, voted Wednesday to trim one penny from a proposed seven cent a gallon tax on general aviation airplane fuel.
Sens. Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., and Howard W. Cannon, D-Neb., both licensed pilots, convinced Sen. Russel B Long, D-La., chairman of the Finance Committee, to accept the sixcent tax. Long's committee had earlier gone along with the House in approving the seven cent levy.
Four of six defense attorneys later held a news conference at which they declared they had frequently admonished their clients "to conform to standard courtroom behavior" and speak only when asked questions. However, they said, the Panthers refused to be silent.
"This (the recess) is probably a milestone in judicial history," said Charles T. Kinney, one of the attorneys. "We intend to be as careful in framing our response as Murtagh was in forming his little formula."
Twelve of the defendants have been jailed since their arrest last April 2 in lieu of bail ranging
from $50,000 to $100,000 each. One of the two women defendants, Mrs. Afeni Shakur, posted $100,- 000 bail three days before the pre-trial hearings began Feb. 2. The money and securities were raised by clergymen.
