NEW YORK - Prices on the New York Stock Exchange
hit the lowest pointsince the cuban missile crisis 12 years
ago yesterday when the Dow Jones industrial average drop-
ped to 627.19.
Not since Nov. 19, 1962, when the average fell to 626.21
over anxieties caused by the U.S.-U.S.S.R. confrontation
over Cuba, have prices plunged so low.
More than two million shares were traded - mostly by
investors anxious to unload - in the final half hour of
business yesterday after the Dow Index dropped to the
new low.

WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
concluded talks with U.S. officials yesterday as Secretary
of State Henry Kissinger cemented plans to fly to the
Middle East to mediate the dispute between Israel and her
Arab neighbors.
After Rabin's 40-minute meeting with President Ford, the
White House made no mention of the secretary's trip. But
it was learned that Kissinger has definitely decided to
make another shuttle flight to the Middle East during
the second week of October.
WASHINGTON - CIA Director William Colby said yes-
terday the Central Intelligence Agency "had no connection
with the military coup in 1973" in Chile.
"We did look forward to a change in government, but
through democratic elections by political forces," Colby
said.
Colby made his remarks to a conference on the CIA
sponsored by the Center for National Security Studies, sup-
ported by grants from three foundations.
He declined to get into details publicly about his re-
ported testimony to a House Armed Services subcommit-
tee last April that the CIA was authorized to spend up
to $8 million between 1970 and 1973 to undermine the
government of President Salvador Allende of Chile.
ST. PAUL, Binn. - The pall of a possible mistrial sha-
dowed the eight-month-old trial of two American Indian
Movement leaders yesterday when one juror had to be
hospitalized. But a defense lawyer said he is hopeful de-
liberations will resume today.
The mistrial possibility arose after juror Therese Scher-
rier, 53, became ill with high blood pressure, postponing
yesterday's deliberations. She is the juror prosecutors be-
lieved mostly likely to vote for conviction.
Should Scherrier be unable to return, the trial couldn't
continue without the approval of both sides.

Violence mars second
day of Boston busing

BOSTON (A') - Nine persons
were arrested and one black
student was slightly injured
when white youths showered
school buses and police cars
with bricks and bottles in South
Boston on the second day of
court-ordered busing yesterday.
In a separate incident, two
persons were arrested in the
Poslindale section of the city
following the stoning of a bus
carrying black pupils by white
youths.f
A crowd of about 400 white
youths, with a sprinkling of
adults, was involved at the
fracas at South Boston High
School. It marked the second
straight day that buses carrying
black pupils were stoned in the
blue collar Irish district.
IMPLEMENTATION of the
racial balancing plan ordered
by a federal judge had gone
smoothly throughout the city'
yesterday until the end of the
school day. Hundreds of police
had lined the bus routes to
protect against any incidents.
Officials said overall attend-
ance in the school system yes-
terday was 68 per cent of the
projected 94,000 - pupil enroll-
ment, about the same as Thurs-
day.
The first five buses leaving+
South Boston High School un-
der police motorcycle escort
moved down a steep hill to a+
bus staging area without trou-
ble. But five additional buses
taking a different road passed+

by the low income Old Colony
public house project.
STONES WERE thrown from
a crowd of about 200 youths.
There were few students on the
buses. A spokesman for the
mayor's office said one black
student suffered minor cuts
when a rocksmashed
through a window. The incident
took place about a half mile
from the spot where eight black
students and a bus monitor
were injured in a similar inci-
dent Thursday.
The mayor's office said about
50 members of the crowd were
actively throwing rocks when
the incident broke out.
The crowd swelled to about
400 as police moved in to force
people back into the courtyards
of the housing project. A brick
smashed the window of a
Metropolitan Police Commission
van.
OFFICERS surged forward to
make arrests and a barrage of
stones, and bottles came from
the crowd. Police vehicles were
hit repeatedly, but there were
no reports of injuries to offic-
ers.
Police said nine persons were
arrested before officers with-
drew and the crowd dispersed
45 minutes later. A spokesman
for the mayor's office had said
earlier that at least 12 persons
had been arrested.
At South Boston High School,
only 25 of the assigned 380
blacks were bused to classes
Friday compared to 71 on

Thursday, a mayor's office
spokesman said. They were
joined by 32 of 1,031 whites as-
signed to the previously all-
white school, the spokesman
said.
"IT'S SORT of lonesome, but
we are teaching the kids now,"
said Headmaster William Reid.
"The kids are learning a lot
about human relations but not
much education."
Officials said 300 to 400 po-
lice were assigned to South Bos-
ton yesterday, but. Police Com-
missioner Robert diGrazia
laughed and said, "I think that's
low." He refused to give a fig-
ure, however.
About 18,200 of Boston's 94,000
public school pupils are sched-
uled to be bused under an inte-
gration plan ordered by U. S.
District Court Judge Arthur
Garrity.

A D D I S ABABA, Ethiopia,
-The armed forces committee
which deposed Ethiopia's once-
absolute ruler, Emperor Haile
Selassie, yesterday in a blood-
less coup, pledged today to re-
form Ethiopia's educational,
legal, and near-feudal land ten-
ure systems.
The new military rulers down-
graded the role of Lt. Gen. Am-
an Andom, apparently to pre-
vent him from emerging as a
strong man in the wake of Se-
lassie's ouster.
The 13-man Armed Forces:
Coordinating Committee issued
what it called a correction to
an announcement that Andom
was its.chairman. It said he
was only the spokesman, im-
plying he had no more status
than the other 12 members.
But Andom, a popular war
hero, clearly remained No. 1
in the military reform move-
ment. He is acting prime min-
ister, defense minister and arm-
ed forces chief of staff.
MEANWHILE the,
whereabout of the 82-year old
emperor who ruled this East
African Nation for 58 years re-!
mained unknown. The emperor
was taken away from one of
his palaces in the capital yes-
terday in a humble volkswagen
by soldiers to the army's
Fourth Division headquarters.

Diplomats said they believed;
Selassie's fall could mark a
major shift in Ethiopia's rela-I
tions with the United States,;
whose aid Ethiopians reformersr
claim was a prop for the, em-
peror's feudal regime.;
They said Ethiopia's new
rulers have told the United1
States they look elsewhere for1
military hardware unless Wash-
ington boosts arms supplies to
offset Russian tank and jet
shipments to Somalia.

said the man who had been held

ganizations.

the Japanese guerrillas shot
and wounded two Dutch police
officers, one a woman, after
the officers sneaked onto the;

the hostages were being held.
Another person also was re-
ported wounded.
THE GUNMEN said the host-
ages would be killed at regular
intervals, starting at 3 a.m.i

the prison inmate is brought to7
them.

scrawled in red ink and thrown1
from a fourth floor window, was]
signed "The Japanese Redt

note ordered that Furuyu be
brought to the embassy by 3
a.m. and that a bus be ready

SELASSIE had been a virtual
prisoner in the palace since it
was nationalized by the Armed

weeks ago.
Informed sources said they

had been moved to Air Force

not be discounted.
