(CP Wirephoto) Second Night Of Riots Rock Slums In Tampa TAMPA, Fla. (AP)--Rioting Negroes burned and looted Tampa's sprawling slums Mon- day for the second straight night, battling with more than 1,000 heavily-armed police and national guardsmen. Roving bands tossed Molotov cocktails into buildings and at passing cars, snipers harassed police cruisers and chanting mobs sang: "Get Whitey. Get Whitey." ' The outbreaks, as opposed to Sunday's trouble, were confined mainly to the Central Village area, a huge, festering ghetto only blocks from the heart of the city. Governor Claude Kirk super- vised 500 national guardsmen, 350 police and 150 armed dep- uties who -sealed off the main slum area, Firemen extinguished at least Rioters' Molotov Cocktails Fire Cincinnati Buildings CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- Roving gangs of Negroes rioted Monday night, setting fires by hurling Molotov cocktails at buildings, looting stores and fighting. At least six persons were hurt, police said, and several persons arrested. None of the fires that broke out during the violence Monday night was serious. The looting took place after bricks and rocks had been thrown through store windows, police said. The outbreak came in the city's predominantly Negro Avondale section but quickly spread to Walnut Hills and Eden Park sections nearby. Police did not say definitely the immediate cause of the out- break but there were reports it was anger by the Negroes over the arrest Sunday of a man who was picketing in behalf of Pos- teal Laskey, a Negro under a death sentence. Laskey was convicted and sentenced several weeks ago to die in the slaying of a white woman secretary, He has an ap- peal pending. Police with four men to each cruiser, sealed off the area. By about 2 a.m. today the violence appeared to have sub- sided but there were sporadic reports of scattered disturb- ances. Unpopular Laws Deleted 18 fires. For the second consecu- tive night they were shot at by the rioters as they fought the blazes. One Negro was stabbed in the hands by a guardsman and another was shot in the wrist. A third, reported to be a boy of about 15, caught a buck- shot blast from a policeman's riot gun. Police repeatedly were pi a CENTENNIAL GOES TO TOP! TORONTO (CP) -- Bill Bonner, 25, of Toronto will be carrying his centennial project around with him for quite a while. Bonner had a_ two-hour haircut Monday which left a centennial maple leaf symbol on top of his head. After the haircut, the Tor- onto baker asked for a cab, put on dark glasses and left saying he was going to get a hat. down by snipers throughout the night and early morning hours. MEETS VICTIM'S MOM The governor later met with about 200 Negroes. Among those present was Mrs. Janie B. Chambers, mother of 19-year- old Martin Chambers who was killed Sunday afternoon while fleeing police. His death touched off whole- sale rioting several hours later. White motorists were dragged from their cars and beaten be- fore the area was sealed off. Mrs. Chambers told Kirk: "Right must prevail. You've got to do something." "T agree that right must pre- vail," Kirk said. 'But justice must prevail, too." CRUISE STREETS Meanwhile, armed riot police moved from one trouble spot to the next in paddy wagons. Na- tional guardsmen cruised the streets in jeeps with .30-calibre machine-guns mounted up front. Police said about 30 Negroes were arrested. Most were charged with unlawful assem- bly. Others were charged with carrying concealed weap- ons, breaking and entering, loot- ing and destruction of property. Despite the numerous reports of snipers, no police casualties were reported. Power Plant Struck Again SAIGON (Reuters) -- U.S. planes Monday bombed an im- portant North Vietnamese power plant rebuilt after a se- ries of raids more than two years ago, a U.S. spokesman an- nounced today. The spokesman said fighter- bombers dropped 1,000 and 2,000-pound bombs on the Thanh Hoa thermal power plant which supplies electricity to an area 90 miles south of Hanoi. Pilots reported the bombs hit the plant's generator section but Said gasoline and oil fires pre- vented any further assessment of damage. The Thanh Hoa plant was one of the first of 11 North Vietna- mese power stations to be bombed by U.S. planes. In other raids over the North Monday, U.S. aircraft struck at Hanoi's rail links with China 31 miles northwest and 28 miles northeast of the capital. HOT Aueiiennastetinnaan WITH ISRAELI TROOPS (AP)--Drifting hot sands of the Sinai Desert are slowly obliter- ating blackened remnantts of a major part of the Egyptian Army. Arab military leaders can only look on the scene and de- spair. For the third time in re- cent history their dreams of driving Jews from Palestine have come to grief in the sands of Sinai. All the way from the Gaza Strip to the banks of the Suez Canal, the scorching desert is littered with the black hulks of hundreds of burned-out tanks, broken vehicles and anti-air- craft guns and command cars, thousands of pieces of mobile equipment, long lines of scorched trucks, still in convoy formation, hit so fast from the air that they had no time and no place in which to scatter. Rail cars overturned, stacked up, strewn about in chaotic confusion like a toy train swept off the tracks by a child in a tantrum--line the tracks snaking across the arid desert. In two days of jolting through the Sinai Peninsula in an Is- raeli army truck, I saw an end- less panorama of. death and devastation testifying to the swiftness of the Israeli sweep to the Suez Canal and the sav- age fury of fighting in the scorching desert. BURIED THE MASSES Even though the Israeli Army hurried in bulldozer crews to help bury the dead and head off epidemics, the victims were scattered all along the road from Gaza to the canal, hands and legs stretched out almost SINAI SANDS BURY WASTE OF WA suppliantly in the death rigor. A little farther along the road, an Egyptian soldier knelt in the sand, pleading for water with a tongue already turning black and lips hardening like baked clay. He babbled hysteri- cally, then fell forward on his face. The paratroop major in charge of the Israeli troops on the east bank of the canal thought that "the Egyptians fought better this time than 10 years ago. They were much more tenacious and had better equipment." Mt A it Russians Request Full Session Of UN LUXEMBOURG (CP) -- Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Martin told the 14 other foreign minis-, ters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization today the West must rebuild friendly rela- tions with the Arab world. Martin gave Canada's analy- sis of the Middle East crisis at NATO's annual spring session and said: "The only hope of taking into account the deep-seated antag- jonisms and their conflicting ine terest, the only hope of pro- gress, lies in a combination of negotiations and the exercise of United Nations. pressure on the parties." Martin told' the conference, concerned with the threat to peace on NATO's southeastern flank, various countries can make contributions towards a more lasting settlement of Is- raeli-Arab troubles. Conference sources said Mar- tin's admonition that friendly relations with the Arab world must be rebuilt by the West fitted with similar remarks by other speakers. FOLLOWED TOP SPEAKERS Martin spoke fourth at the opening session, after Dean Rusk of the United States, George Brown of the United Kingdom, and Jens Otto Krag of Denmark. Rusk called for a joint at- tempt with the Soviet Union to avert a new arms race in the Middle East. A summary of his speech from U.S. officials said Rusk noted that Moscow has shown interest in a treaty against the spread of nuclear arms. He sug- gested the Russians might also be interested in scaling down conventional arms deliveries in the Middle East. broader demands by Lord Thomson, NATO Parley Told -- Rebuild UAR Relations CANADA'S MINISTER of External Affairs Paul Mar- tin and French Foreign Mi- nister Couve de Murville, centre, confer at opening ceremony of the NATO Mi- nisterial Spring session in Luxembourg today.

Suez Canal Still Closed, Arab Nations Tottering The Suez Canal remained closed to shipping today, the} economies of Arab _ nations| beaten in war by Israel were tottering and the Soviet Union was seeking a special session of | the United Nations General As- conquest. Diplomats in Cairo said the canal, a vital international waterway and a mainstay of Egypt's economy, is blocked by about 10 ships. perts estimated it would take two to six months to clear them, Egypt had said Saturday that ships sunk by Israeli planes were blocking the 104-mile pas- sage between the Miditerranean and Asia, But diplomats and shipping sources in Cairo said it was virtually impossible for at least some of the snkings to have resulted from air attack. Egypt had hoped to obtain $320,000,000 in badly needed for- eign exchange from canal tolls this year. For a country al- ready deep in debt, loss of even a part of this revenue could be a strong push toward bank- ruptcy.

Closing down until October, the court also broadened press freedom and gave suspects in police lineups the right to a law- yer's help. Justice Tom C. Clark, step- ping down after 18 years on the bench, announced the 5-to-4 de- cision that the New York eaves- dropping law "'is without ade- quate judicial supervision or protective procedures." Clark's ruling left in doubt the fate of eavesdropping laws in five other states -- Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, vada and Oregon.

France Offers To Manage Oil CAIRO (AP)--The oil-produc- ing countries of the Arab world are ready to accept offers from France-and Spain to replace the British and U.S. oil companies that have developed most of the Middle East's oil industry, the semi-official Egyptian Middle on news agency reported to- ay.

Damascus, New Satellite MOSCOW (AP)--A new Soviet Cosmos satellite was launched into a cigar-shaped orbit Mon- day, the same day the Russians shot a heavy unmanned space laboratory toward Venus. Soviet officials held back word of the Cosmos launching until today, without giving any reason for the delayed an- nouncement. The Soviets did not say whether there was any con- nection between the Cosmos and the Venus shot nor did it specify the purpose of the Cosmos mis- sion. The Venus IV weighs 2,438 pounds, the Soviets said, and will need four months or more to get to Venus. An official re- port said it was "close to the prescribed" course and operat- ing well. said that in their view the So- viet Union showed restraint during the Middle East crisis. Rusk said the Russians had shown no interest in encourag- ing the outbreak of fighting. Krag, opening the two-day an- nual spring review by the for- eign ministers of the 15 NATO nations, said the "dramatic events in the Middle East dem- onstrated the risk that such sit- uations may explode in military conflicts with unforeseeable in- ternational consequences." Krag, premier and foreign minister of Denmark, appeared to find comfort in the restraint of the United States and the So- viet Union during the crisis.
