Boston
eers Sen.
Kennedy
BOSTON OP) - Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.), was booed
and splattered with a rotten
tomato yesterday when he tried
to address an estimated 10,000
people protesting a court-or-
dered integration plan for Bos-
ton schools.
Kennedy niounted a platform
in front of the John F. Kennedy
Building in Government Center
and tried to speak.
DROWNED OUT BY b o os,
chants and calls to "Impeach
Kennedy" the senator left the
platform and went into the
building, making his way
through the jeering c r o w d
which surged toward the build-
ing and broke a plate glass win-
down after he was inside.
"People feel very strongly
about this issue," said a calm
but grim-faced Kennedy. "They
are entitled to their views."
Most of the crowd dispersed
after the Kennedy incident, with
only several hundred remaining
to hear other speakers, urging
parents to boycott the schools.
KENNEDY, who later left his
office in the building to return
to Washington, said after the
incident that someone had pull-
ed the plug on the platform mi-
cronhone and he quit trying to
speak.
The crowd, most of them wo-
men, first gathered on the Bos-
ton Common, near the State
House, then marched through
the downtown area, past t h e
Post Office where U.S. District
CourtJudge Arthur Garrity has
offices. They chanted "Garrity
must go.
Garrity has ordered the inte-
gration of Boston schools, which
open Thursday.
THE DEMONSTRATORS, vir-
tually all of them white, plan-
ned to march on the offices of
Sens. Kennedy and Edward
Brooke and ask them to support
federal antibusing legislation.

MOZAMBIQUE MELEE:
Rebel whites kill 30 in Beira

LOURENCO MARQUES, Mo-
zambique (A') - Thirty persons
were killed in clashes in the
key Mozambique port of Beira
yesterday and the city's main
radio station was taken over
by rebel whites, according to
unconfirmed reports broadcast
by the South African Broadcast-
ing Corp. The whites are trying
to declare Mozambique a sep-
arate state with a white gov-
ernment in control and foil an
agreement between Portugal
and black guerrillas granting in-
dependence to Mozambique.
THE REPORT came as Port-
uguese troop reinforcements
were ordered to move toward
the capital of Lourenco Marques
where white rebels set zip a
headquarters and took over the
airport, radio station and postal
center.
The report on the mercenaries
came from the Johannesburg
Star, which said the men who
once fought in the Congo in the
1960s were 'gathering in Johan-
nesburg and indications are they
may be recruiting for a push
into Mozambique."
The paper said that several
senior mercenary officers held
a private meeting at a hotel in
the South African capital on
Saturday. One of them con-
firmed the session took pace,
but called it a social gathering.
THE STAR said that the Tre-
sence of senior men from what
was known as Commando Five

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (P) -
Stuntman Evel Knievel says a
weakness in the metal holding,
the parachute system in place
was responsible for his rocket
ride into the Snake River Can-
yon rather than over it.
"THERE WAS A metal fail-'
ure," Knievel tolds a news con-
ference Sunday night less than
four hours after he was lifted
by helicopter from rocks at the
base of the 600-foot'canyon.
"To lose to a beautiful river
and canyon like this to me it
not a real loss," said Knievel,
the cuts on his right cheek and
lip standing out as red lines
on his tan face.
The chutes began deploying
even as the red, white and
blue Sky-Cycle cleared the
launch ramp Sunday, pulling the
missile back like a yank on a
shirt collar.
The vehicle was halted before
it had traveled half the neededI
distance, and seconds later Kni-
evel was on the canyon bot-I
tom, the bloodied survivor of
yet another fall.
DESIPTE THE FAILURE of
the stunt, probably the most
widely publicized in history,
Knievel was assured of $6 mil-
lion and stood to earn much
more from proceeds of a live
closed-circuit telecast and re-
lated deals.
Promoters of the telecast had
been predicting the total take
could reach $20 million.
Asked if he would attempt

the stunt again, Knievel re-
sponded, "I don't know what
I'm going to do. I sat in it and
gave it my best."
In a late night telephone call
to television station KUTV in
Salt Lake City, Knievel said
that "metal fatigue" had caused
bolts holding a canister con-'
taining the parachutes to sheer
off when the engine fired, send-:
ing the chutes spilling out be-'
hind.

The surprise call from Knie-
vel's motel room here was to
a talk show, "Take 2," hosted,
by John Prince with newsman
Bruce Northcott, which featur-
ed videotapes of the abortivej
jump.
DURING THE conver-1
sation, Knievel stressed that he!
had not inadvertently activated
the parachute system - one ex-
planation offered for the mis-
hap.
Earlier, just after his rescue,
the dazed Knievel walked back'
toward the launch ramp and
said, "The machine ,was going
sideways -on me. I tried to steer
it. J just don't know what hap-,
pened."
The steam-powered Sky-Cycle
was to have traveled 3,000 feet
at 300 miles per hour, enough
to carry to well beyond the op-
posite canyon rim, 1,600 feet
away.
EIGHTEEN S E C O N D S
after launch, Knievel was to
have thrown the lever deploying
the chutes to carry the missileE

earthward. Instead, the vehic
lurched upward for nine se
onds and ceered to the righ

Pushed by a brisk nor
wind, the cycle glanced off
canyon shelw and onto roc
about 20 feet from the Snal
River, where it came to re
right side up. Knievel said th
piece of luck saved his life.
Even for skeptics, Knievel
attempt to hurtle himself ov
the canyon was spectacula
dangerous and suspenseful. A

emerged, he gave his wife a
long kiss and they disappeared
into the trailer.
