Fire destroyed the block-long Modern Laundry and Dry) Cleaning Co. building. Police} 'said they believed it was started) by a gasoline bomb. | A short time earlier fire demolished the Seybold Paper| Co. warehouse. Fire Chief Bert Lugannani set damage to the warehouse| at $700,000 and damage to the laundry at $100,000. Firemen responded to about 100 fires during the night, and at most of them the firefighters were pelted with stones. But guardsmen kept spectators and others at a distance to give fire- men a free hand in fighting the laundry blaze. PATROL STREETS Other than the two fires, po- lice reported a relative quiet morning. The guardsmen, bay- onets and machine-guns ready, and police continued patrolling the streets. Police said more than 20 per- sons had been arrested, 22 in- jured -- including three police- men and four firemen--and un- told damage done during the dominantly Negro neighbor- hoods. Police Chief Jacob Schott said his 800 men were unable to cope with the quick-moving, hit-and- run rioters. As the violence continued into pre - dawn hours, police had gained control of the Avondale area--where the trouble started Monday and Tuesday nights. GUARDSMEN READY Guardsmen moved into the riot areas after midnight on or- ders of Governor James A. Rhodes. Helmeted troopers car- ried fixed bayonets. Machine- guns were mounted on jeeps. Fires erupted in many parts |of the city. Many false alarms were turned in. Firemen were stoned when they answered the calls. Hundreds of car windows were smashed. Rioters burned a city bus. In some: places, the rioters acted with precision. In the shopping area of Peebles Corner two miles from downtown they smashed every store window and grabbed merchandise. At other places, window-smashing and looting appeared to be by disorganized mobs. The exact cause of the rioting was unclear. A murder case--in which a Negro, Posteal Laskey Jr., was sentenced to death for the slay- ing of a white woman--appar- ently had something to do with second night of rioting in pre- it. Tampa Quieter Last Night As Negroes Idle In Streets TAMPA, Fila. (AP)--Roaming Negro youths, ignoring pleas for peace, set 15 fires, looted stores and wandered aimlessly in small groups Tuesday night as national guard troops and po- lice reinforcements sat idle in a nearby armory. Authorities. reported at least 21 arrests, all made by what Police called "routine patrols." Tuesday's troubles were slight compared with the wild rioting of Sunday and Monday nights when police and rioters ex- changed gunfire, stores were burned and looted and at least 20 persons were injured. Sheriff Malcolm Beard, head- ing a combined force of 1,000 heavily armed men, pulled the riot squads from: the rubble- strewn streets in a_ surprise move at dusk Tuesday after Negro leaders promised pub- licly there would be no trouble. Police and Negroes waited tensely for the results of an in- vestigation by State Attorney Paul Antinori into the Sunday night killing of Martin Cham- bers, 19, by Patrolman James R. Calvert. The death of Cham- bers, killed while fleeing police, touched off the riots, The report was withheld until this morhing on orders from Governor Claude Kirk, Antinori said. Antinori said his investigation considered only the question of whether the shooting was man- slaughter or justifiable. homi- cide. Police Capt. G. E. Blackshear said he believed the sheriff's truce had calmed the rioters some by removing the target of most of their wrath--over show of police power. 4 COOLING OFF Christopher Prige, 21 years old, of Victoria, B.C., cools off under a lawn sprinkler at Kingston's Cen- tennial Park Tuesday be- fore starting the last leg of his roller skating trip from Victoria to Expo.

Gas masks were ineffective as firemen staggered light- headed and incoherent from a burning Canadian Tire store where a basement stockpile of barbecue starter fuel gave off the fumes. Twelve of the 15 were sent to hospital when they became vio- lently ill after being removed from the area. Northwestern Hospital was turned into a ma- jor emergency centre as oper- ating room nurses and off-duty staff were called in. "We pressed the panic but- ton when the men started fall- ing," said Fire Chief Henry Todd of the Borough of York. The chief was among those overcome by the fumes. It took four hours to quell the fire. U.S. Launches Spacecrait, Races Soviet Craft To Venus CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.

Wolfe said experiments to study radiation in interplanet- ary space were turned on and the craft's four power-producing solar panels deployed. Guidance sensors aboard the $35,000,000 Mariner V locked onto the sun for orientation as planned. During a brief 26-minute en- counter Oct. 19, Mariner V is to pass within 2,000 miles of Venus. Mariner scientists said they did not know whether the U.S. craft or Russia's 2,438 - pound Venus IV would arrive at the planet first. The Soviets have announcéd only that Venus IV's trip will take about four months.

NUDE MISS LOST IN BLACKOUT LIMA, Peru (Reuters)--A nude young lady crossing a road caused a blackout in a northern Lima suburb, it was reported Tuesday. The newspaper La Prensa, which makes the claim and has a picture to go with it, says a car swerved and crashed into a utility pole when the girl crossed the road. The suburb was blacked out. One of two volleyball teams playing nearby aban- doned the game to search a nearby corn field, and lost by default. It also failed to find the girl.

UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- |The Soviet Union pressed to {day for an emergency session jof the United Nations General | Assembly to take action against | Israel amid speculation that Premier. Alexei N.

The heavy Viet Cong attack jin the delta fell on two adjoin- jing hamlets 110 miles south- j|west of Saigon. While one was being raked by mortar fire, guerrillas smashed into the other. A company of about 120 mi- litia defended the second _vil- \lage. They called for artillery | support and for the U.S. planes that nightly circle the delta to provide flares and Gatling-gun support for embattled outposts. HEAVY DEATH TOLL A Vietnamese spokesman said 19 civilians were killed 41 were wounded and the milifia suf- fered heavy casualties, a term that means at least' 20 were killed or wounded. Elsewhere, fighting around Pleiku cost one U.S. Air Force Supersabre jet which dove into the ground after apparently being hit by guerrilla fire. The pilot was killed. It was the 185th combat plane downed by hostile action in South Vietnam.

JEWISH TOURISTS OUTNUMBERED and personal; ALL RELIGIONS WELCOME 'Occupation' might be usefully 8 Rul e Begins JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel began administering its con- quered territory west of the River Jordan Tuesday as virtu- |ally 'a separate entity with its own currency, A tight military cordon cuts off the Old City of Jerusalem and the west bank of the Jor- dan from Israel. Reliable sources said eventually a net- work of customs and frontier posts will cut off the Arabs in the conquered area of Jordan until a final settlement is made. The Arabs will be adminis- tered by Israelis but will be unable to pass freely into Is- rael, these sources said. Although the Old City will be incorporated into Israel proper, and air - conditioned tourist buses already were running through it, the former areas of Jordan will have special status, the sources reported. The Jordanian dinar, which has been pegged to the British pound, was declared the official currency but with a slightly lower value. It will be convert-| ible into Israeli pounds. | Gen. Haim Herzog, the mili-| tary governor, told reporters his military administration had worked for four days to restore water, electricity, garbage col- lection and other municipal jservices in Jerusalem to pre- | vent the Old City from becom- ing a plague spot.

Couple Rescued From Lake Erie TRENTON (CP) -- Air-sea rescue said today an American couple adrift for two days in a 14-foot outboard motor boat in Lake Erie has been rescued.

Search Lake Superior For Four Canoes SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. (CP) -- Officials at the St. Mary's River canal system today used radar in at- tempts to spot four canoeists on Lake Superior who were due to arrive here Tuesday on a trip from New West- minster, B.C., to Montreal. An official said there has been heavy fog over the lake for several days and this may have delayed the canoeists. x < vsti ieee gta nce ns smn JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israelis are waiting with open arms to welcome religious pilgrims with guidebook in hand and foreign money in their pockets. The Israelis took almost all of the Christian holy sites from Jordan in the war last week. The Old City of Jerusalem and Bethlehem were their biggest prizes. Israeli officials expect tourist revenue to increase at least $20,000,000 a year as a re- sult. "Jerusalem should be Rome," said one banker. have Christian, Moslem Jewish sites." like "We and Pinchas E, Lapide, a Jeru- salem city official, says: "We'll use the holy sites to attract meetings in all religious groups, and that most emphati- cally means even Moslems. if they'll come." Christians outnumbered* Jew- ish tourists to Israel last year for the first time since indepen- dence. This is expected to be, a bumper year for Jewish tourists visiting relatives celebrat- ing victory and praying at the wall of Solomon's Second Tem- ple--which Christians know as the Wailing Wall -- Judaim's holiest shrine' which the Jordan- ians had denied the Israelis Since 1948. LOSING JEWISH TRADE In the long run, the number of Jewish tourists is expected to decline since many have been older Jews who came for a sin- gle visit to see Eretz Yisrael-- the land of Israel. The Israelis know they must concentrate on attracting Christians. In 1965 and 1966 an- average of 300,000 tourists a year came to Israel and left $60,000,000 in foreign currency. But prices have climbed far above those of Spain and other sun spots. While every other major Mediterra- nean tourist spot was bringing in more tourists, the tourism figure in Israel was down seven per cent this year even before the war crisis. The reasons. are numerous. They include insistence on kosher food and dietary laws in many hotels -- you can't get cream in your coffee or butter on your beads if you've had meat with the meal. But the major reason is a lack of cheap charter flights. EI Al, the Israeli airline, has only seven planes, not enough to handle charters. If Israel al- lowed other lines to fly in char- ters, El Al would show a loss. \ .. In THE TIMES Today ..
