At least 157 persons were in- jured Friday night in a wild one-hour battle between 15,000 demonstrators and 5,000 police. Hours later, police hurled tear- gas bombs at scattered out- breaks of rioting. A police official said it was the worst rioting in the Greek capital since the 1947-49 civil war. Since July 21, riots by sup- porters of fallen premier caused more than 500 injuries and resulted in the death of one student. The street disorders started after the aveahold king fired Papandreou July'15 over a dis- pute on control of the armed forces. . Just 'before Friday night's riot, the king swore in Tsirimo- kos as premier. Demonstrators shouted in sults against the royal family and 58-year-old Tsirimokos, who recently bolted from Papan- dreou's Centre Union party Tsirimokos indicated he will crack down on street protests during the parliamentary con- fidence debate on his govern- ment, scheduled to start Mon- day. Observers say Tsirimokos fears more rioting may result in a vote of no confidence, The new premier toured the riot scene early today and made a@ personal plea to Papandreou to exert influence against "'the downhill course to abnormal- ity," The government has forbid- den street demonstrations but permits rallies in closed areas like stadiums and theatres, Fri- day night's trouble started when demonstrators left a_ theatre rally and tried to march on par-' liament Athens public prosecutor, Pa- naviotis Nikolodimos, said: "This is not rioting. This is an insurrection."

Ryals said he was out of town at the time, and could not give a detailed account. However, a Negro girl, Ruby Sales of Columbus, Ga.,' said she and three other Negroes had been released from jail with the two men--and were with them when they were shot. She said in a statement re- leased by the Student Non-Vio- lent Co-ordinating Committee that they had stopped at the store to get some food. "A man we assumed to be the proprietor looked at us with a shotgun in his hand and told us: 'Get off my property,' "' she said. 'He shot before we had a chance to turn around." 'IF THIS IS MURDER' Alabama Attorney - General Richmond Flowers promised a full - scale. investigation and vowed: "If this is murder, it will be prosecuted to the full ex- tent of the law." President Johnson instructed Attorney..- General Nicholas Katzenbach to begin a "vigor- ous and immediate' investiga- tion and the justice department ordered an FBI probe. Coleman, a gray-haired resi- dent engineer for the state high- way department, often worked without pay as a. part-time "special" deputy sheriff. He is married and the father of two children. He is a native of the Hayneville area and comes from a family active in civic affairs "He is respected in the com- munity,"' said a deputy sheriff "He laughs and jokes a lot. I'd call him a friendly person." "He was mild mannered," said another deputy. "He didn't show his temper usually." ' GEMINI 5 IN ORBIT Gemini Flight Milestone In Voyage To The Moon CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) The Gemini 5 astronauts rock- eted into orbit today on the start of a marathon satellite- chasing mission that could push the U.S, past a significant mile- stone in the race to the moon. L. Gordon Cooper Jr.,, vet- eran astronaut making his sec- ond trip into space, and Charles Conrad Jr., the tattooed rookie, planned to ride their cramped spaceship around and around the earth in an eight - day weightless world. This is three days longer than. any man, American or Russian, has been in space, and is equal to the time plan- ned for the first U.S. manned lunar landing flight. During the booster phase of the flight, Cooper in an ob- viously exhilarated voice shouted: "What a _ beautiful view!" Before parachuting to a land- ing in the Atlantic Ocean a week from Sunday, Cooper and Conrad are to circle the globe 121 times and travel a record, 3,120,000 miles. : Medical experts were confi- dent the flight will erase any lingering doubts about man's ability to survive long enough in space to rocket to the moon and return. Early in the flight, during the second. orbit about two hours after 'liftoff, astronauts plannet to lau their» own satellite, ejecting it with explo sive devices from an equip- ment bay .at the, base of the capsule. an The satellite, which Cooper and Conrad have dubbed Little Rascal, will be used in an at- tempt to rendezvous with an- other orbiting object. The tech- nique must be perfected before man heads for the moon. The pulse ~ pounding flight started at 10 a.m, after the first perfect countdown in the U.S. man-in-space program. A tall Titan 2 rocket thund- ered upward from Cape Ken- nedy and drilled the 7,700- pound spacecraft into an orbit ranging from 100 to 216 miles high. This was very close to the planned altitudes of 100 to 219 miles. As the great Titan booster lifted the astronauts into the sky, the pilots monitored sys- tems, ready to take emergency measures in case of - trouble. They reported everything in order. The only hitch in the five-minute, 34 - second rocket burning time was a brief loss of communications at the con- trol centre after second-stage separation. Communications were re- stored quickly. Six minutes after blastoff, the Mission Control Centre re- ported Gemini 5 was in orbit. At that point, direction of the flight shifted to the Mission Control Centre at Houston, Tex. Cooper fired two jet thrust- ers to provide the final push and manoeuvre to place the space chariot in orbit. To perform the rendezvous manoeuvre, Cooper, as com- mand pilot, was to execute a number of intricate manoeuvres first to back about 52 miles away from the satellite and then to chase it across the skies, using a radar system, a computer and jet thrusters, then try to approach to within 20 feet during the fourth orbit BLOOD OATH TO WIPE OUT WHOLE FAMILY and to circle it. Eerie Vengeance, A Town In Fear REGGIO CALABRIA, Italy ({AP)--The chill winds of fear are lowing through the bleak streets of the little village of Drosi in the Aspromonte (Bitter Mountain) country of Italy's far south. The dread 22nd of the month is near. Despite a special police guard, 22 members of the Stilli- tano family wait in terror. Five of the family already have been slain, each on a 22nd of the month. under a five-year-old blood vengeance oath that they all will die. Crippled young Martino Seva has come back by train after almost five years in_ hospital with a back broken by a pistol shot in a dulleo rusticano--duel of honor. His mission was one of mercy. He came home to plead for clemency for Antonio Stillitano, convicted of having shot him in the duel, involving a woman. But out in the hills there stil) is Demonico "Maisano, young Seva's uncle, with the blood oath on his -lips, 3,000,000 lire (5,000) in police reward money on his head and 22 of the Stiili- tano clap still living. a Police say the. blood venge- ance began in 1960 when Mar- tino Seva was shot in the duel of honor with Antonio Stillitano. Young Seva was his uncle's - favorite. Maisano, then a quiet- living, 40-year-old farmer, had laid aside money to assure Mar- tino a better education than most boys in the Bitter moun- tainlands ever can afford. SWORE TO KILL When the bullet crippled young Martino, Maisano took his blood oath. Police say he swore to kill every man, woman and child of the Stillitano clan. Police say he strikes only on the 22nd of the month--the day young Martino was shot, Mais- ano is charged with slaying five members of the Stillitano fam- ily, including two of Antonio's sisters. Several others were wounded. Some members of the family fled to France for safety Others remained here under guard of a special carabinieri-- national police--detail assigned to the village for their protec- tien. If there were no hitches, the satellite was to be ejected at 12:07 p.m. and the rendezvous would occur at 3:36 p.m. Among thousands who watched the liftoff of the Titan 2 from Cape Kennedy area vantage points were Mrs. Cooper and the two Cooper daughters, Camala, 16, and Janita, 15, and Conrad's father. Mrs. Conrad and the four Conrad sons watched the launching on television in their Houston home. The nearest rocketeers ever came before to a launch ex- actly on time was on the last shot of the one-man Mercury program May 15, 1963, a mis- sion flown by Cooper. He was off four minutes behind sched- ule. Ground stations closely mon- ftored medical and other data from Gemini 5 as it whipped overhead at more than 17,500 miles an hour. The United States now has sent 10 different men into space, two of them ---Cooper and Virgil Grissom--twice for a total of 12. The Russians have launched 11 cosmonauts, including one woman, but none has made a repeat trip. Russia has not had a man- ned space shot since last March 18, when Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov collaborated on Leonov's historic 'walk' in space, a feat matched later by American Edward White. Successful réndezvous today would lead to an attempt to dock the Gemini 6 spacecraft with another satellite launched separately in another man- oeuvre which must be devel- oped before moon journeys. HANOI NEVER INSISTED? Peace Talks Do Not Hinge On U.S. Leaving Viet: Lord From AP-Reuters OSCOW (AP)--The chair- of the British Coyncil for Pe ce in Viet Nam? .quoted North Viet Nam officials here today as saying that Hanoi never has insisted on total with- "entirely unofficial" visit, quoted the North Viet Nam am- hassador, Nguyen Van Kinh, saying: 'Hanoi has never said that all. United States forces must be withdrawn before negotia- tions for a ceasefire or peace drawal of American forces as @\__pegin, They did not insist on condition for beginning negotia- tions for peace in South Viet Nam. Lord Fenner Brockway, 77- year-old former left-wing Labor member of Parliament, said the lack of insistence on withdrawal as a precondition represented a change. from what had pre- viously been reported from Ha- hoi. As such, he said, he believes it "removed a major obstacle to peace." In Washington, officials took a reserved position on Lord Brockway's report. -- Brockway is in Moscow on an this." This appears to contrast sharply with one of the condi- tions of a "peace settlement" broadcast by Hanoi radio last month. As recorded by foreign radio. stations, that statement said: "The United States must withdraw from South Viet Nam all U.S. troops, military per- sonnel and weapons of all kinds, dismantle all U.S. military bases there, and cancel its mil- itary alliance 'with South Viet Nam, This was given as the basis for a peace settlement. Standing in front of a huge backdrop portrait of the Queen, Prime Minister Pear- son deciares the Canadian National Exhibition officially open in Toronto Friday. Mr. Pearson reminisced about his visits to the Ex as a boy, visited several trade exhibits and ran into an old army buddy from the First World War. He didn't get to see the midway. --(CP Wirephoto) TO WRITE HISTOR Titan 2 Roared Into Action Hurling U.S. Spacemen Up CAPE KENNEDY, Fila. (AP) Two United States astronauts rode a Titan 2 rocket skyward today, aiming for an eight-day orbital flight that would wrest the space endurance record from Russia. The tall rocket flashed to life at 10 a.m. EDT, briefly shroud- ing its launch stand in a dense cloud of rust-colored smoke. Then the 165-ton projectile thundered aloft. Astronauts L. Gordon Cooper Jr. and Charles Conrad Jr, hoped to remain up 192 hours, breaking the record of 99 hours, six minutes, set by Rus- sian cosmonaut Valery Bykov- sky June 14, 1963. If they succeed, they will have been in space long enough to fly to the moon, explore its surface and return to earth. And, if all goes well, they will accomplish the first known ren- dezvous with another orbiting satellite. The launching was observed by thouands of persons lining Atlantic beaches and other vantage points in the Cape Kennedy area, and by televi- sion viewers. Among those who watched breathlessly from the cape was Mrs. Cooper and the two Cooper Sateen Camala, 16, and Janita, Mrs. Conrad watched on TV at her Houston, Tex., home with the three Conrad boys. rs a er e Titan headed over to the northeast and sped out over the Atlantic, As the red-hot exhaust [ trated the cold upper , a trail of, white vapor fanned out -- and was oe into é curly-cue pattern high-alti- tude winds.

For Allies, Columnist Says NEW YORK (CP) -- dian Prime Pearson is bucking like crazy for the No. 1 kennel in Presi- dent Johnsor's doghouse for cantankerous allies." This statement leads off Rich- ard McGowan's Washington column in the Daily News in which McGowan reviews the Johnson - Pearson exchange of letters on Viet Nam assistance. McGowan says the Canadian and U.S. leaders, once close friends, have drifted apart dur- ing the last year. He says the rift has been aggravated by Pearson's "unnecessary and un+ wanted feud with Johnson" aris- ing from '"'Pearson's futile ef- fort' to make public the letters. McGowan says the dispute concerns a "544-page form let: ter to 42 nations" which Pear- son "apparently misread." (McGowan's reference is to an Ottawa press conference dur- ing which Pearson seemed to say in answer to a question, that Johnson had asked Canada for military support in Viet Nam.)

Paul Martin quickly corrected him, saying it was for help similar to that Canada already was providing-- "Cana Lester our, d technica Tested Preaye thas enbaker i nn to know just what the Johnson letter really meant. The columnist says that when Pearson asked the White House to make public the letter and a return message from dor Charles Ritchis to draft a summary leaving out "sensi- tive" portions. Despite a determined ettort, a draft acceptable to Pearson could not be arrived at, says the columnist, and "Johnson, in typical Texas style, finally said the hell with it." McGowan notes than an ate nouncement that the correspon: dence would remain secret, made by Pearson Aug. 14, was "carefully downplayed." "U.S. officials believe that Pearson, with all his diplomatic experience, should not have tried to drag Johnson into a domestic political squabble. and that he should have been more cautious about -- involving other countries light of the deep U.S. commitment in Viet Nam," McGowan says. eT NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Pilots Ordered To Destroy Missile Sites WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- United States pilots have been ordered to destroy all surface-to-air missile sites they may find on their way to military targets in North Viet Nam. U.S. officials, making that known Friday night, said the pilots also are under instructions to attack missile sites which they might observe while carrying out armed reconnais- sance over lines of communications.
