At times Sunday, even major arteries like State Route 13 were virtually NOT IMMUNE Major thoroughfares in the county were not immune from drifting and blowing snow, as State Route 13 north out of the city was reduced to one lane at several Area Digging Out of 15-Foot Drifts fury, and the threat of strong lake winds and additional flooding contin-, ued today. Warnings remained in effect for beach erosion along Lake Erie Cleveland eastward due to high waves and high lake water levels. Cleveland Hopkins reopened Sunday afternoon after being closed by a storm that brought six inches of snow that morning. Elsewhere in Ohio, Portage County reported a snowfall of 22 inches, while Kent in the west central part of Portage County got 15 inches. Snow and driving winds, gusting to nearly 60 miles per hour, forced Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to shut down for several hours Sunday.

Several hundred people were forced to'abandon low lying homes along the Lake Erie shoreline in the storm's Foreigners Barred from Leaving Camhodia Capital (Continued From Page 1) Among those hardest hit by the weekend storm were local fruit growers whose peach crop could be severely damaged if not wiped out by the 26 and 27 degree lows Saturday and Sunday. Bryan W. Garber, an orchardist on Garber Swank Rd. near Bellville, said today that he hadn't checked all his trees but he expected that many of the earlier varieties of peaches were damaged. He added that the weather was not cold enough to seriously hurt the apples.

The fruit trees had been mislead into early bloom by the unusually mild weather. Fred Roberts, horticulturist at King-wood Center, said the flowers at the center were not damaged by the storm. The temperature was not that cold plus the three inch blanket, of snow provided warming insulation, Roberts said. Among the hundreds of motorists stranded on the roadside by impassable drifts was Mansfield weatherman Andy Scott who got hung up on Airport Rd. yesterday on his way to works Scott thought his prayers had been answered when he saw a wrecker approaching his car.

But to his dismay, the wrecker skidded and crashed into the front of Scott's car. He did pull Scott out, however, for a nominal fee of $15. Even winter sports fans weren't particularly impressed with the snowfall since both Snow Trails and Clear Fork Ski Resorts are closed. The extended Ohio outlook calls for a warming trend Wednesday through Friday with highs in the 40s and 50s and lows in the 30s. I "It is clear that we are surrounded and will probably be massacred, but if we do we'll go down fighting," said Rocky Madrid, 26, San Luis, an AIM supporter wounded during an exchange of gunfire between Indians and government forces Saturday night.

Madrid was carried on a stretcher to a meeting at the trading post where the government offer was read to about 200 Indian partisans. AIM Leader Russell Means decried the government proposal as a request for "total capitulation" without guarantee that arrested Indians could be freed on bail. "Our only recourse the only strength we have left is our treaty rights," Means said. Today's "final ultimatum" by the AIM leaders was to be based on the 18G8 Fort Laramie Treaty, which confiscated most of the Sioux lands in the Plains and required the Sioux to move to reservations, such as pine Ridge, on which Wounded Knee is located. The government proposal, worked out in high level meetings in Washington, called for the occupiers of Wounded Knee to lay down their weapons and surrender peacefully to arrest.

It also provided for meetings between Interior Department officials and AIM leaders to be held at Sioux Falls, followed by the arrest of the leaders and the most of the militants at Wounded Knee. Many Indians vowed to remain and die rather than submit to arrest. The government offer was presented to AIM leader Dennis Banks at a government roadblock by Harlington Wood, the Justice Department's top negotiator with AIM. Wood told Banks the three pronged proposal was "the best I could do." Court to Rush Vote Decision (Continued From Page 1) Republican plan submitted by Zimmerman.

(UPI) -Leaders of the American Indian Movement present their "final ultimatum" to government officials today in yet another negotiating session aimed at ending the siege of this historic'ham-let. The Indian ultimatum comes amidst growing combativeness among Indians occupying this historic hamlet, the scene of the last clash between the U.

S. Cavalry and the Indians in 1890 in which between 200 and 300 Indians died. A three point government plan to end the occupation of Wounded Knee met with booing from militant Indians as it was read Sunday. North Viets Still Push Arms South By FRED S.HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) U. S.

intelligence sources report that military equipment has continued to flow from North Vietnam since President Nixon warned Hanoi to stop infiltrating South Vietnam. "It's still going on," one source said. He indicated Sunday there has been no measurable slowdown of sucn movements in the wake of Nixon's state-ment last Thursday that the North Vietnamese "should not lightly dire-gard" U. S. expressions of concern.

Meanwhile, intelligence analysts estimate that the North Vietnamese have sent between 400 and 450 ar-mored vehicles, including tanks, into South Vietnam in the less than two months since the Vietnam cease fire. U. S. officials view these and other movements as serious violations of the cease fire agreement which forbids any shipment of military gear into South Vietnam except on a strictly limited basis under international supervision, "We're not very sanguine about the international supervisory machinery working," a Pentagon official said. Intelligence specialists say some of the new tanks reported in South Vietnam since the cease fire came down from southern China, where they were stockpiled until the U.

S. bombing of North Vietnam was halted. According to fresh estimates, more than 1,100 trucks moved across the demilitarized zone from North Vietnam into South Vietnam in the week ended' last Thursday, the day Nixon issued his warning to Hanoi. In that same week, sources said, about 200 trucks rolled down the Ho Chi Minh supply trail in southern Laos. Analysts said that some 10,000 tons of supplies have moved through one pass from North Vietnam into Laos since Feb.

1. 62 Killed in Viet Air Crash SAIGON (UPI) Police said all 62 persons aboard an Air Vietnam DC6 passenger plane being flown by two Americans were killed today when the aircraft apparently blew apart in flight and crashed in South Vietnam's Central Highlands. South Vietnamese police officials said there were no survivors at the scene of the crash, about 142 miles mortheast of Saigon. The four engine plane was en route from Saigon to Ban Me Thuot when it crashed. No cause was given for the accident but Pham Duong Hien, director of public affairs, said the weather was "very bad." An airline source a i the green-and white propeller driven plane "went straight in from about 2,000 feet while making a landing approach.

You know what that will do to a plane." Court Declines to Hear Newsman WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court today declined to hear reporter Peter Bridge's plea that grand juries be required to show a compelling need before they question newsmen. Bridge was jailed for 21 days for refusing to answer some questions in a grand jury's probe of allegations involving the Newark, N. housing authority. The high court rejected his appeal of state court rulings upholding his citation for contempt of the Essex County grand jury. The brief order dismissing the appeal came without dissent.

Bridge's petition said grand juries' needs for newsmen's testimony should be scrutinized in the area of governmental corruption because the end product of their probes may be merely a report, not an indictment. By SYLVANA FOA PHNOM PENH (UPI) Phnom Penh was placed under an official state of siege and martial law today, with its foreign visitors and residents described as virtual prisoners, following a weekend of bloody violence that included the bombing of the presidential palace and the Communist shelling of a capital suburb. U.S. Embassy officers expressed "grave concern" over one tough new security measure imposed by President Lon Nol that bars the departure of all travelers, including tourists, from the country. Foreign diplomats were temporarily exempted from the orders, but immigration sources said they too would soon come under the order barring departures.

All Cambodian citizens were barred from leaving under any condition.

Injured hi Aiiitrak Derciilmeiit Chairman Henry Eckhart inspected the accident site and said the derailment apparently was caused by a "kink" in the track left from a minor freight train-accident just 91 minutes before the Amtrak crash. Eckhart said railroad officials told him that rear cars of the freight train separated at 1:37 a.m.

The freight train departed here at 2:18 a.m. and the Broadway Limited at the same site at 3:08 a.m. Eckhart said the Amtrak engineer said he and his fireman saw an irregularity in the track ahead and threw the 60 mile -per- hour train into an emergency stop, but could not prevent the derailment.

Eckhart said his' office would 'contin- The U. S. Embassy and other foreign installations alerted their citizens that Phnom Penh was virtually surrounded by Communist Khmer Rouge troops and warned more attacks could come. New crackdowns included on extended curfew and a halt of all press operations by non government printing plants. They were imposed after two 250 -pound bombs dropped from a hijacked government fighter plane hit the palace Saturday, killing 37 soldiers and their dependents and wounding 40 others.

The 37 figure was released Sunday after officials put the toll earlier at 27. Lon Nol escaped injury in the attack. He called the the action of a former air force captain and son in law of deposed Prince Nordom Sihanouk, a "clear attempt to kill me personally." Communists unleashed a barrage of rockets Sunday on Takhmmau, a resort on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. The village was badly damaged, officials said, and at least nine persons were killed and several others wounded. Lon Nol declared the nation in a state of siege Sunday after saying that the bombing was part of a complex subversive plot.

A government spokesman said today President Nixon cabled Lon Nol to express his "shock and indignation" at the air attack on the palace. Western diplomatic sources said they believed Lon Nol would cite Nixon's cable as proof Washington agrees completely with his stringent security measures.
