Peru's govt.
declares
'state of emergency'
IN LESS
THAN A MONTH
LIMA, Peru () - Rioting demonstrators yes-
terday set buildings and automobiles ablaze in
downtown Lima after troops backed by armor
staged a bloody crackdown on police striking
for more pay.
President Juan Velasco declared a national
state of emergency and suspended constitu-
tional guarantees as his military regime faced
the worst crisis of its six-year rule.
AN OFFICIAL communique said the police
strike was "incited clearly by counter-revolu-
tionary political elements."
The violence in the streets erupted a few
hours after army troops - backed by tanks
-stormed a police compound serving as head-
quarters for the striking policemen. A number
of persons were reported wounded, while some
witnesses said several were killed in heavy
fighting at th headquarters.
However, the action failed to halt the strike
by a large segment of the 20,000-strong police
force.
LIMA'S CIVIC center, housing a political ag-
ency set up by the regime, was set ablaze by
fire bombs hurled by demonstrators. Witnesses
saw smoke pouring from the ground floor of
the adjoining Lima Sheraton Hotel.
Looting of stores was also reported in that
area Qnd a filling station was set afire.
GUTTED AUTOMOBILES and stoned buses
littered parts of downtown Lima.
Several newsmen reported that armored mili-
tary vehicles had been deployed on the far side
of the downtown area near the presidential pal-
ace.
Earlier reports had said the demonstrations
were broken up by squads of military police
firing submachine guns into the air, with no
casualties reported.
