While India and China clashed verbally over the country, the Sikkimese voted 59,637 to 1,496 for Indian statehood and the ouster of their chogyal, or ruler, Palden Thondup Nam-gyal, who was under Indian army guard in his Gangtok Palace.

(AP)-A Superior Court judge on Tuesday ordered that East Haven's 12 public schools be reopened Wednesday with borrowed funds to cover an expected deficit. TTie school board and town officials said they had agreed that the town would find to meet the the judge's order.

"There was no question the schools should be reopened immediately," Judge Irving Le-vine told a packed courtroom. Classrooms were closed Monday to the town's 5,700 pupils because school officials said they had run out of operating funds. Town officials, who expressed concern that a provision in the town charter might leave them personally liable for deficits, asked the court to order schools to reopen.

The results showed that more than 60 per cent of the total electorate of 97,000 had voted in the hastily arranged referendum.

Kazi Lhendup Dorji, the pro-Indian chief minister of the nation bordering Tibet, cabled the results of Monday's balloting to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and asked her "to make an immediate response and accept this decision." As the ballots were being counted, Peking accused India of trying to annex Sikkim by force. Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi replied by reminding the Chinese of their takeover of Tibet and stating that India was only responding to the popular wishes of the Sikkimese. The chogyal, who was reduced to a figurehead monarch after a public uprising against him two years ago, said he had not been allowed to leave his palace since the Indian army surrounded it last Wednesday. "I am under house arrest," he told Indian newsmen who were allowed to meet him after being barred from the palace for three days by Indian soldiers. Foreign correspondents were not permitted to enter the kingdom to cover the referendum.

The chogyal, whose oldest son, 23-year-old Crown Prince Ten2ing Kunzang Jigme, sat at his side, nearly broke down and wept at one stage and said, "I am not going to be party to the liquidation of Sikkim," one newsman reported.
