Violence Erupts In Son Francisco

WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. Jacob K. Javits, initiator of the Republican policy report on Vietnam that widened cracks in the party’s unity, has called for a conference of GOP senators to seek “consensus” on the issue. The New York lawmaker disclosed Sunday he had asked Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, RMaine, chairman of the GOP conference, to set up such a session. It was a staff report by the conference that caused consternation in some Republican quarters over questions it raised on President Johnson’s Vietnam policy. Javits said it was he who moved that the study be made, and that he still felt it was “an excellent historic record” of the Vietnam problem. Javits said all GOP senators will not agree on any point. But he said he thought “the great majority of them can come to certain conclusions: for example, the idea that we do back the commitment of the President is one that I think we have all come to already.” He said a “good majority” of Senate Republicans probably would oppose invading North Vietnam or bombing Haiphong harbor and a “large number” would favor direct negotiations with the National Liberation Front, political arm of the Viet Cong rebels.

Hope Dwindles For Boys

SAN FRANCISCO UPI — Some 500 youths damaged concessions at an ocean-side amusement area, engaged in fist fights and assaulted patrolmen Sunday night in violence that spilled over into a city park and from there into the Haigh-Ashbury district, home of the city’s hippie cult. The teen-agers, mostly Ne- § groes. were cleared from Play- § land at the beach by 100 policemen called from stations throughout the city. The disturbance, described by police as “sporadic but not continuous,”

lasted about an hour.

Bands of youths later roamed through Golden Gate Park throwing rocks and bottles and then invaded the Haigh-Ash-bury area, where several store

windows were broken.

Police said 22 persons were arrested at Playland on charges ranging from inciting riot to

disturbing the peace.

Three patrolmen were injured. One was stabbed and hit by bottles, one was stomped and suffered a broken wrist and the third suffered a sprained wrist There was no immediate estimate of property damage. Police said the trouble at the amusement park started when a fight broke out in a roller-

skating rink.

HANNIBAL, Mo. UPI—Hope dwindled today in the search for three adventuresome readers of Mark Twain who have been missing from their Mississippi River bluff home since last Wednesday. As searchers expressed the opinion they’ve about covered all the caves, other authorities checked out hundreds of leads. Even the parertts of two of the boys noted the possibility they may have taken off on an adventure other than cave ex-

ploring.

The parents went before television cameras Sunday night in the hope that Joseph Hoag, 13, his brother William, 11, and

Edwin Craig Dowell, 14, could hear and would respond. “Make this a good Mother's Day for me,” Mrs. Hoag pleaded in a trembling voice. “Please come home. I made a good dinner for you again. I love you, please come home.” Meanwihle, railroad officials checked their records for trains that passed through the area where the boys were last seen. Boxcars were traced in the event the trio hopped a freight. The search ended shortly before midnight Sunday to resume today. Searchers said they still have some digging to do in “the system,” nickname of a newly

The search had been concentrated there since Friday, after the final and futile search of Murphy’s Cave, where the boys were originally believed trapped. The team was equipped with closed circuit television for probing sink holes and a “cave radio” for locating rock fissures

covered by earth.

Leaders of the search appeared dejected Sunday. They met behind closed doors and emerged to read a statement that promised a “useful, ex-

haustive search.”

SAIGON UPI — American pilots used old cannons and a new missile to shoot down their 8th, 9th and 10th Communist MIG fighters in weekend dogfighting over North Vietnam, U.S. military spokesmen said

today.

The pilots, who shot down seven MIGs and "possibly” two more Saturday, unleashed Sunday World War II 20mm cannon—fashioned into six barrel “gatling guns.” They had carried cannons for two weeks for just such close-in combat. Spokesmen said the 20mm’s downed two MIGs and the missile got Sunday’s third. No American planes fell in the dogfighting that lasted 10 minutes near Hanoi while F105 Thunderchiefs bombed nearby Army barracks. But one F105 fell to ground fire. The pilot was rescued, spokesmen said. The U.S. planes also smashed North Vietnamese Surface-to-Air Missile transporters trying to move their SAMs south to within range of U.S. Air Force B52 heavy bombers pounding Communist targets near the North-South Vietnam border. Just South of the border Sunday scattered North Vietnamese mortar fire killed five Marines and wounded 44. The B52 Stratofortresses, staying away from the border area where SAMs have begun soaring at U.S. planes, today and Sunday pounded Communist positions about 50 miles to the south. Near Saigon Sunday Viet Cong gunners shot down an Air Force FIDO Supersabre jet. The pilot bailed out and was rescued, spokesmen said. The Air Force F4C Phantom and F105 pilots who fought MIGs near Hanoi Sunday returned enthusiastic over the cannon. The shells used in downing two of the MIGs cost $235. The missile cost $35,000. The downing of the three MIGs raised to 60 the number bagged by Americans in dogfights. The aerial combat has cost 16 U.S. planes. Pilots said they had reached within 10 miles of Hanoi when, (Continued on Page 3) Fire Point-Blank At Viet Cong SAIGON UPI—U. S. Marines, backed by tanks firing pointblank, battled through mortar barrages and smashed repeated Communist attacks in two days of fierce fighting along the rainswept northern border of South Vietnam, spokesmen reported

today.

North of the border Sunday U. S. jet-fighters shot down three more Communist MIGs— their 8th, 9th and 10th of the weekend—and raised to 60 the total of kills in dogfights during the war. But two U. S. planes were lost also over the North, spokesmen said. In South Vietnam, near Saigon, Viet Cong gunners shot down a U. S. Air Force F100 Supersabre jet. The pilot bailed out and was rescued, it was reported. About 40 miles east of Saigon, a 105mm round from a U. S. Howitzer accidentally hit a paratrooper company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade during an operation, spokesmen reported. One trooper was killed and seven wounded in the accident about 19 miles southeast of

A twister damaged at least 34 homes in the Memphis, Tenn., area Sunday, knocking out power and uprooting trees.

Other tornadoes touched down in Texas, tossing 10 cows and a bull into a barbed wire fence near Texarkana, Tex. Other twisters were sighted at Columbus, Tex., and Sinton, Tex., and in Mississippi

Missouri.

“If the British government and the Hong Kong British authorities do not behold a pale horse standing before the cliff, then they will definitely come to no good ends,” declared Red China's most authoritative newspaper, Peking Peoples

Daily..

The tornadoes, hail-producing thunderstorms elsewhere in Texas and flash floods in AkKansas, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky were the result of a storm front romping across the Southern Plains toward the

Atlantic Ocean today.

At Peking, Mao Tse-tung’e foreign ministry roused British Charge d’Affaires D. C. Hopson before dawn today and handed and him four demands it said Britjain must accept “unconditionally” or face Communist China's

wrath:

In its wake the storm system left snow in the central Rockies -seven inches at Lander, Wyo., -and adjacent plains. The temperature dropped to the 30s in parts of the Southwest.

Trespassing

WEYBRIDGE, England UPI —“It was the first thing that came in to my head,” said Mrs. Alex Rundle of her conversation with a stranger on the course at the Effingham Golf Club. As Mrs. Rundle and a friend were about to putt on the 18th green, a man popped out of the bushes wearing a bowler hat—

and nothing else.

“Are you a member?” Mrs. Rundle demanded as she took a golf club from her bag. “No,” he said, and she clouted him over the head. The man picked up his bowler and fled.

Kong, today’s Whitsun holiday brought relative calm after three days’ rioting in which Leftwingers hurled Molotov cocktails, battled police and stormed at factories closed because of their agitators’ de-

mands.

But 500 to 600 workers today waved little red books of Mao thoughts and shouted slogans in front of a cement company and broke windows in a bank

branch.

Observers here said the confrontation forced by Peking could lead to large-scale violence among the 3.7 million Hong Kong residents, most of whom are refugees from Communist China. Hong Kong is perhaps the richest jewel left in the shrunken holdings that once were the British Empire. Nestled around the finest port of Asia, the 391-square-mile colony is ruled by a governor appointed by London. Most of the area Britain acquired from China in 19th Century European commercial concession-grabbing. Part of the colony called the “new territories” reverts by treaty to China in 1999.
