Admittedly shaken by the fury of what he saw amd the expressions of bit- terness of those he talked to, he wrote the following for The Associated Press, By GEORGE GOODMAN LOS .ANGELES (AP)--There are no leaders in this night- mare.

Zone Mobs Loot And Burn By JAMES BACON LOS ANGELES (AP)--Cali- fornia national guardsmen forced their way with rifle fire and bayonets today through the riot-torn streets of the Los An- geles Negro district. But violence continued to spread in the fourth day of loot- ing and burning. The toll: 14 dead, hundreds injured. The dead include a sheriff's deputy slain by looters and a Negro sniper killed by guards- men, A Negro sniper was wounded. In all, 12 civilians have been shot, 11 of them Negro. One fireman was killed by a falling wall. In the chaotic confusion, names of most of the victims could not be learned. CAN'T CONTAIN RIOTS Steel-helmeted troopers early today cleared a path through pockets of lawlessness on the city's southeast side, but couldn't restore peace. Rioters leap-frogged ahead of the troops. Arsonists set new fires. after they passed. Other bands of Negroes in cars struck miles from the riot centre in white sections of the city. Whole blocks of buildings in the Negro section of Watts have been burned to the ground since the rioting began Wednesday night over the arrest of a Ne- gro motorist by white police. All the rioters are Negro. They battled police and firemen with guns looted from shattered stores and attacked white mo- torists--with shouts of 'Here comes whitey!" and 'Kill them, kill them!" Few whites ven- | tured into the 98-per-cent Negro area sometimes called Los An- geles' "black ghetto." Police called for national guard help Friday when 1,000 law officers couldn't restore or- der. The governor's office and lo- cal authorities declared a state of insurrection--short of mar- tial law -- and the first 2,000 troops was diverted from sum- mer training to the embattled streets. MORE TROOPS CALLED Police said 5,000 national guardsmen will be on the street today. California Governor Edmund Brown cut short a vacation in Greece today and flew back to direct attempts to restore or- der. He told reporters at Athens he had been in touch with his office and was convinced the riots were spontaneous, not planned. A psychiatrist in Los Angeles attributed the rioting to anger at the whites--and distrust of them -- in. the Negro sections where Los Angeles minorities are held in what is termed de facto segregation. A fire department official said fire losses alone may total more than $100,000,000 in the riot-swept sectors. One fireman was killed and another critically hurt when a wall collapsed on them. They); were fighting a fire in a looted market. A huge portion of the Negro area was virtually a city afire. Col. Irving Taylor, the guard commander, said one trooper shot and killed the sniper, He was wed from a yore ACTOSS street On a pr substation in Watts, the core of; sniper was seriously wounded, Taylor said both were Ne- groes. Fifty. - two police officers, eight firemen, and two guards- men were injured as the mili- tary reinforcements joined in the battle to quell the looting and burning. More than 300 civilians were hurt. Isolated instances of looting, burning or fighting spread to downtown Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Pasadena, the Wilshire district and elsewhere. MOB LOOTS, BURNS Around 2 a.m. a task force of guardsmen and shotgun-toting police began a massive drive to halt a looting, burning mob heading toward the downtown area.

The fire department es- timated that flames alone caused $10,000,000 damage. Looting loss was in the many millions but inestimable. At least 1,000 firemen were on the job.
