the heart of Santo Domingo.
At least two persons were killed

junta which ousted President Jaun

Barracks in Capital
LEOPOLDVILLE (P)-A sudden
flash revolt against the king of
the new central African nation of
Burundi apparently has been
crushed, reports from its capital
said last night, but its premier was
reported near death from wounds.
The predawn quiet of the na-
tion's capital, Bujumbura, was
shattered by rifle and mortar fire
in the area of the royal palace
and the Burundi army barracks,
the reports said, in an attempt by
still unidentified rebels to seize
the nation. Six Burundians were
reported killed in the palace
grounds.
Mwambutsa Hiding
At that moment, according to
messages from an aide, the con-
stitutional monarch, King Mwam-
butsa IV, was in hiding. The aide
said that two hours later loyalist
forces encircled the palace and
the king was under loyalist pro-
tection.
The premier, Leopold Biha, was
reported wounded in the head and
chest by gunfire as he left his
home in an attempt to reach the
palace. The messages said that he
was taken to a hospital where he
was reported in a coma and in
grave condition.
The secretary of state for de-
fense, Michael Micomboro, was
reported missing.

Planned Boycott
MILWAUKEE (P)-Absenteeism
in Milwaukee public schools drop-
ped substantially yesterday on the
second day of a civil rights boy-
cott that leaders said would run
at least two more days.
In a related development a Ro-
man Catholic priest who had play-
ed a leading role in the protest
movement was ordered by his su-
periors to cease the activity. He
said he would obey.
Absences Decrease
School officials said a total of
10,074 pupils of a total city en-
rollment of 122,495 were absent
yesterday, compared with 12,673
Monday-a decrease of 2,563. The
number absent was about 4,756
above normal.
In the city's "inner core" where
the boycott was concentrated, a
total of 5,777 were absent, 5,419
over the daily average for Sep-
tember.
State Assemblyman Lloyd A.
Barbee, head of the Milwaukee
United School Integration Com-
mittee, sponsoring the boycott to
dramatize racial imbalance in the
schools, had already stamped the
demonstration a success.
Freedom
"Freedom" schools, set up by
the boycott committee as substi-
tute classrooms for participating
pupils, settled into routine yes-
terday, but side issues, religious
and otherwise continued to seethe.
The Rev. Groppi, assistant pas-
tor of St. Boniface Roman Catho-
lic church and vice-chairman of
the boycott committee, said he
had been ordered by his superiors
to cease his activity in the pro-
test. St. Boniface is about 75 per
cent Negro.
"I have been told to desist from
boycott activities," he told news-
men. "Of course, I am going to
obey."
Facilities Banned
Auxiliary Bishop Roman R. At-
kielski had banned use of Cath-
olic Church facilities for "free-
dom" schools, citing the ruling of
Dist. Atty. Hugh R. O'Connell
that the boycott was illegal.
But Father Groppi led chil-
dren in "freedom" songs and out-
side his church lectured at "free-
dom" schools.
Monday night he led a group
of approximately 300 youngsters
and teenagers in a march to the
home of the school board presi-
dent, John S. Foley, where a noisy,
but orderly, demonstration was
held.
The picketing at the Foley home
provoked an angry blast from Mil-
waukee Mayor Henry Maier who
called it "a kind of bigotry" and
said it "almost smacks of Ku
Klux Klanism in reverse."
"In my opinion," the mayor
said in a statement, "the Milwau-
kee civil rights movement com-
mitted a self-defeating mistake. I
can never condone the organized
harassment of a man and his
family in his home-regardless of
whether the family is white or
Negro.

SAIGON VP) - U.S. B52 jet
bombers from Guam struck yes-
terday a suspected Viet Cong in-
stallation in the Ho Bo woods, 30
miles northwest of Saigon.
Other sporadic action was going
on throughout Viet Nam.
A military spokesman announc-
ed North Vietnamese gunners shot
down an F4C Phantom fighter-
bomber over a bridge 40 miles
west of Vinh on Monday and its
two crewmen were presumed cap-
tured.
Phantom Lost
Five American raiders had been
lost over the weekend in accelerat-
ed strikes against Red targets in
the North. The Phantom was the
115th plane to be officially writ-
ten off in the 8-month-old cam-
paign against North Viet Nam.
South of the border, a search
was ordered for two craft. A U.S.
Air Force observation plane carry-
ing two Americans; and a South
Vietnamese helicopter with an un-
determined number of men aboard
-overdue at the Da Nang airbase.

They had taken off from the Kham
Duc area of the central highlands
for Da Nang, 380 miles northwest
of Saigon.
Propaganda Raid.
Strikes against North Viet Nam
included a propaganda raid over
the Red River delta southeast of
Hanoi. Four U.S. Air Force F105
Thunderchiefs dropped 850,000
leaflets intended to undermine the
people's support of Ho Chi Minh's
Communist regime.
Two planes from the carrier In-
dependence hit a railway facility
about 60 miles north of the fron-
tier. Pilots said they sank a barge
and damaged three buildings.
Fourteen planes from the car-
rier Midway were among others
aloft. The pilots said they pounded
bridges and smashed 13 railroad
cars.
Ground Operations
In operations aground, soldiers
of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division
rounded up 115 suspects during a

sweep 25 miles north of Saigon.
A spokesman said five of these,
were identified as Viet Cong and
one. was killed when he tried to
escape.
Vietnamese government troops
operating in the northern coastal
provinces were reported to have
killed 53 Viet Cong and captured
23. Others, staging a raid in the
Mekong River delta, said they
killed 11 guerrillas.
A military spokesman said, how-
ever, the Viet Cong ambushed a
government squad in the North
and inflicted heavy casualties. The
phrasing suggested that the squad,
perhaps a dozen men, was virtual-
ly wiped out.
Hanoi Speaks
Hanoi continued to play up an-
tiwar demonstrations in the Unit-
ed States. North Viet Nam's of-
ficial paper Nhan Dan said in
a broadcast commentary they re-
flect "the high tide of the struggle
of the American people against
the Johnson administration's ag-
gression in Viet Nam."

Forces Undetermined
The palace aide said he
not determine whether the
neers were from police or

could

army

Stations Shut
Closing the radio stations was
necessary, the presidential decree
said, to prevent "the incitation
to public disorder." Some of the
stations, particularly the San Isid-
ro outlet of the Dominican armed
forces, have been caustic in their
comments on national political
developments.

forces.
White families-Bujumbura has
a small European and Asian popu-
lation--were urged to stay off the
streets.
Burundi has been in a state of
unrest since May, when elections
resulted in increased strength for
forces opposed to the king. His
choice of Biha for premier was re-
garded as a compromise.
Political Rivalry
There has been intense political
rivalry between feudal leaders of
the Tutsi tribe, who have been in-
fluenced by Chinese Communists;
and the Western-educated "Young
Turks" of the Huto tribe in Bur-
undi, a former Belgian trust ter-
ritory which became independent
in July 1962.
Burundi once was considered a
hub of Red Chinese subversion
operations in central and east
Africa. Red China maintained a
greatly oversized embassy in the
little nation until lastsJanuary,
when King Mwambutsa expelled
the Chinese diplomats, accusing
them of using Burundi as a base
to export rebellion in the neigh-
boring Congo with arms, money
and propaganda.
First Reports
The first fragmentary reports
of the uprising had come from the
Brussels radio in Belgium which
had said that the king fled to the
neighboring Congo and urged the
Congolese air force to attack reb-
els who already had beaten their
way into the palace. Apparently,
however, the king remained in his
capital.
