Deaths, Damage
ount in
Weekend of
By The Associated Press
National Guardsmen and state
troopers began withdrawing from
riot-torn Newark, New Jersey, as
Gov. Richard J. Hughes said riot-
ing and looting apparently had
ended after five days and nights.
The death toll stood at 24, all ex-
cept two of them Negroes.
Small units still patrolled neigh-
boring Plainfield where a white
patrolman was stomped to death
and shot with his own gun after
apparently accidentally wounding
an eight-year old boy.
In Youngston, Ohio, the newly
elected president of the 48,000
member National Police Officers
Association, Mario Biaggi, said
that riots would not end until po-
lice were allowed to "treat rioting
mobs and their leaders as law-
breakers."
In sporadic violence around the
nation over the weekend, Cairo,
Illinois, was the scene of fire
bombings that destroyed a gasoline
bulk station warehouse and dam-
aged three retail stores. One wit-
ness said in at least one instance
a bomb was thrown by a group of
Negroes.
In Fresno, Calif., the Negro di-
rector of a summer anti-poverty
program was wounded by a bullet
after a day of vandalism, arson
and other violence.
In Washington, Presioent John-
son was reported in close touch
with the New Jersey disorders, but
no requests for federal aid we're
received at the White House.
Newark's downtown business
section slowly returned to normal.
Only liquor stores and taverns re-
mained closed by order of the
governor.
The rioting resulted in 1,100 in-
juries and 1;300 arrests through
Sunday night.
Hughes lifted Newark's 10 p.m.
curfew, which took effect Friday
at the height of the disorders.
The governor also withdrew
nearly all the 5,000 National
Guardsmen and 300 state troopers
brought into the city Friday and
Saturday. Civil rights leadershad
urged such a move, as a first step
toward a restoration of law and
order.
"The sniper shooting is so spo-
radic that it is grinding to a halt,",
Democratic Gov. Richard J. Hugh-
es announced in his fourth weary-
ing day on the scene of the na-
tion's worst racial explosion since
the 1965 Watts riots left 34 dead in
Los Angeles.
"My evaluation of the situation
is that the rioting and looting are
apparently over, and the violence
has ceased," Hughes added.
Nevertheless, Hughes urged that
a national conference on black
power, scheduled for Newark on
Thursday, be moved elsewhere. He
said this was neither the time nor
the place for such a gathering and
added, "I would like to make a
serious and respectful appeal not
to have it here."
The governor also promised to
keep alert against, and strongly
resist, any white vigilante back-
lash in the aftermath of the-New-
ark riot, which resulted in prop-
erty damage of over $5 million in
this half-Negro city of 40,000.
A small number of Guardsmen
and troopers remained for non-
security chores-traffic duty, and
the escorting of food deliveries into
the riot area, which covered about
a third of the city.
Food and medicines were re-
ported in short supply'because of
the destruction wrought in the
riot.
Losses are expected to top $5
million just along Springfield
Avenue, a major business artery
through the slum section wracked
by looting and devastation, said
President Harry Bushberg of the
area's Merchants Association. He
said more than 220 retail stores on
the avenue were looted. Some also
were wrecked or burned.
Insurance may cover some riot
damage. But a reference to "crim-
inal insurrection" by Gov. Richard
J. Hughes could complicate some
insurance claims. Property damage
policies normally exclude losses
from "insurrection."
In the 1965 Negro violence in the
Watts area of Los Angeles, when
damage was estimated at nearly
$100 million, some insurance com-
panies raised the question of liabil-
ity for damages. Eventually, in-
surors paid $37.5 million in claims.
The decision to pay in Los An-
geles was based on a court case
holding that an insurrection of
rebellion must be aimed at over-
throw of government and seizure
of power. California authorities
held Watt rioting to have been
spontaneous and without any or-
ganized leadership directed toward
an overthrow of authority.
The Newark rioting began on a
small scale July 12 after a Negro
taxicab driver was arrested on a
traffic, complaint. A rumor spread
that he had been killed by the
police. Actually, he was freed in
the custody of his lawyer, after
being charged with assaulting his
police captors.
iioting
The rioting built up to a lethal
Friday and Saturday night climax.
Mobs ranged through the slums
looting stores, mainly those owned
by white merchants.
Fire bombs set blazes and when
:. firemen came in to fight them,
snipers made their every move-
ment hazardous.
From rooftops, Negro snipers
dueled with police and Guardsmen
in the street. Their cross fire
claimed many victims.
Gradually, as Guardsmen got
the upper hand, the rioting abated
and Sunday night was relatively
quiet.
In contrast, Plainfield, whose
population is about 35 per cent
Negro, underwent a Sunday night
L of wild rampaging, which tapered
off only with the coming of day-
light. The city's police force num-
bers about 100.

HONG KONG-Communist ter-

found stabbed to death and three
bomb blasts injured two men.,
The boy, stabbed in the stomach,

and seized hundreds of terrorist
weapons.
One explosion rocked a street-

cutting one man with flying glass.

underwent a reign of terror after
mutinous white mercenaries and
Katangan soldiers occupied it July

While the hostile attitude of
the Congolese soldiers toward Eu-
ropeans now has almost disap-
peared, there was still some con-
cern for the safety of whites,

Bukavu.

in Bukavu, said he had been un-

about 30 Americans, mostly mis-
sionaries and their families, in the
interior.
