PRAGUE (N) - Club-swing-
ing riot police fired tear gas
shells and charged into a
crowd of thous.ands yesterday
in Wenceslas Square on the
anniversary eve of the Soviet-
led invasion of Czechoslovak-
ia.
Only hours earlier, Communist
Party chief Gustav Husak had en-
dorsed the Aug. 20-21, 1968 invas-
ion and warned against anniver-
sary agitation.
Riot squads, backed by m o r e
than a dozen armored personnel
carriers and water cannon vehi-
cles, cleared major parts of the
square with three separate tear
gas attacks.
GULFPORT, Miss. (N)-Limited martial law was clamped
on Mississippi's storm-ravaged coastal strip yesterday and
Gov. John Bell Williams said Hurricane Camille's death toll
may soar far higher than first feared.
"Because of the fact that bodies are now being found
regularly, some people estimate the death rate could go up
above 500 and possibly reach 1,000," he said.
The storm's death toll stood at 170. The governor said
the highway patrol counted 162 killed along Mississippi's
coast. Louisiana counted eight dead in flat Plaquemines
Parish county, hit by raging tides that left its bottom half
under deep water.

British Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced t h e

The British prime minister also said that civil rghts re-

rights would be speeded up.
Charges of discrimination in these areas have been at
the heart of the rioting.
In addition, the British govern-.

The first step, Williams said,
was to quarantine the area and
limit the flow of people-particu-
..,larly sightseers.
State Adj. Gen. Walter Johnson
said his Guardsmen would deal
mainly with police and rescue
Imatters. "They're not going to
try to run the government," he
said.
President Nixon declared parts
of Louisiana a major disaster area
and allocated $1 million in fed-
eral disaster funds. He did the
same for Mississippi's coast Mon-
day-.
The President also said he was
sending Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew and George Romney, Sec-
retary of Housing and Urban De-
velopment, to New Orleans today
to inspect the stricken areas on a
helicopter tour.
Gov. Williams acted on the rec-
ommendation of the state adju-
tant general who said that the
sightseers were turning the coast
"into a carnival."
Johnson said he had 2,000 men
under arms and "I've got to bring
in another 2,000. Sightseers are
jamming in-looking for bodies, I
guess."
The death toll jumped Tuesday
with the discovery of 23 bodies in
a luxury apartmenticomplex at
'nearby. Pass Christian' and the
announcement by authorities in
Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish
county that they knew of eight
dead in the area.

Monday arrested White Pan-

corresponding secretary for
the White Panthers, Magda-
lene Sinclair and t W o other
men for alleged possession of
marijuana and hashish.
Arresting officer William
Thorne, of the Brighton County
Narcotics Squad, s a i d yesterday
the five people were stopped in a
"rented vehicle" in Oakland, New
Jersey, on their way back to Ann
Arbor from the Woodstock Rock
Festival in New York.
Thorne 'said he had a search
warrant when Plamondon and the
others were stopped. However,
Thorne would not say whether or
not the people w e r e originally
stopped because of a traffic vio-
lation. "That's part of the case
against them,' Thorne said.
The arresting officer claimed he
found quantities of hashish, mari-
juana and unidentified pills in the
car. The pills will be examined by
the crime laboratory at Brighton.
The five are being held in the
Brighton County jail until they
put up bond originally set at $7,500
for each person.
However, a lawyer for the five
was successful in :getting the bond
reduced to $500 for each woman,
$1,500 for Plamondon and $1,000
for the other two men who have
not been identified.
Thorne said the five probably
will not face trial for another year.

The statement was seen as a
perfunctory rebuff to the inde-
pendent Irish Republic to the
south that has demanded a review
of the 50-year-old partition of
Ireland.
The developments brought a
mixed reaction in Northern Ire-
land.
Bernadette Devlin, 22-year-old,
member of the British Parliament
'who became a Joan 'of Arc to the~
embattled Catholics at the peak
of last week's fighting, said in a
broadcast: "Mr. Wilson's state-
ment has given hope that now
things are going to be for the bet-
ter."
