Violence breaks out at Nazi demonstration
(Continued from Page 1)
several of the more than 20 policemen
confiscated the sticks which held up the,
demonstrators' flags and posters,
claiming the items were "possible
weapons" which could result in a more
violent demonstration.
The activists then began chanting
"Cops and Klan go hand in hand," and
denounced the police as "protecting"
the neo-Nazis.
"(THE POLICE) would do anything
in the world to protect these Facist
Nazis," said one PLP demonstrator.
One policeman responded to the
demonstrators' shouts, saying, "I think
it's very disgusting."
The demonstrators finally gave up
around 2:30.
Most of them left City Hall, but a few
turned up later at the Federal Building
when they heard the neo-Nazis were
demonstrating there.
AT THE RALLY, Reich said "We
have nothing against black people."
But he added, however, that the neo-
Nazis are against race mixing and
communism. The only things mulattos
want to do is rape and murder, he said.
Five of the arrested protesters were
released yesterday on bonds ranging
from $25 to $100, Ann Arbor Police Sgt.
Paul Bunten said. The sixth person, a
woman who threw a flashlight battery
at a police officer, was charged with
felonious assualt and remained in jail
last night. She could face up to four
years in prison, Bunten said.
The six will probably be arraigned
tomorrow, he said.
Tle two injured officers, Richard
Anderson and Craig Mason, were
treated for minor injuries and released
yesterday.
IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press International reports
Two convicted in barroom rape
FALL RIVER, Mass. - Two men were convicted yesterday of gang-
raping a young woman on a barroom pool table while onlookers joked and
cheered, a verdict that sparked cries of outrage from courtroom spectators
and angry charges of racism from crowds outside.
Cries and screams from the defendants' relatives echoed through the cen-
tury-old courtroom after the verdict, and one man was dragged away by
court officers.
Outside the courthouse, an angry crowd jeered jurors as "racists," while
the victim, through her attorney, said, "Justice has been done."
Daniel Silva, 27, and Joseph Vieira, 28, were convicted of aggravated rape,
which could bring a life sentence and possible deportation for the Portuguese
immigrants.
The eight-man, four-woman jury reached the verdict after 5% hours of
deliberation following a 16-day trial in a case that became afocal point for
women's rights advocates.
The two are among six men charged in the March 6, 1983, gang rape of a 22-
year-old woman in a New Bedford bar. Four other men are defendants in a
separate trial that is expected to go to the jury this week.
Shot kills accused La. kidnapper
BATON ROUGE, La. - A karate instructor accused of kidnapping one of
his students died yesterday after the student's father shot him in the head
and then told deputies, "If it were your son, you would have done the same
thing," officials and witnesses said.
Gary Plauche stepped from a telephone booth at Ryan Airport on Friday
night and fired one shot point-blank into the head of Jeffery Paul Doucet ac-
cording to deputies and witnesses. Doucet had just arrived on a flight from
Los Angeles to face trial on charges of abducting 12-year-old Jodie Plauche,
who was freed unharmed.
Doucet died at noon yesterday from a single-gunshot wound to the head,"
said Joy Phillipps, a spokeswoman at New Orleans' Charity Hospital.
Plauche, who had been held on a charge of attempted second degree mur-
der, now faces a charge of second degree murder, said Sgt. Roy Forbes of the
East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Department.'
Plauche had been held on $100,000 bond on the attempted murder charge,
but Forbes said a judge would decide now whether to release Plauche on
bond in view of Doucet's death.
Calif. drivers face smog checks
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Millions of California motorists - from the
Mexican border to the Golden Gate - face inspections, mechanics and nosy
computers as a mammoth smog check program begins tomorrow.
More than 12 million cars in California's smoggiest urgan areas - Los
Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Fresno Bakersfield, Sacramento and
Ventura - must be checked for pollution once every two years in order to be
registered in the state.
That's about 500,000 inspected each month.
"We expect a lot of people are not going to quite comprehend what it's all
about," said Irwin Cooper, a spokesman for the state Department of Motor
Vehicles. "We expect to receive thousands of registration payments in the
mail without the smog certificates, at least in the first few days."
The new inspection law, which the Legislature approved and former Gov.
Edmund Brown signed in 1982, was adopted after years of haggling amid
pressure from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which threatened
to cut off nearly $1 billion in federal sewage and highway construction funds
unless the state cleaned up its air.
State lawmakers had resisted ordering the inspections, fearful of angering
constituents.
Violence rocks El Salvador
Salvadoran rebels attacked two eastern cities with mortar fire yesterday
in escalating pre-election violence that killed four civilians, wounded eight
soldiers and left a city block in flames.
In Nicaragua, the chief of state security said U.S.-backed rebels have
launched their biggest offensive yet to overthrow the leftist government in
Managua.
Leftist guerrillas in El Salvador assaulted the nation's third largest city of
San Miguel at midnight, firing a barrage of mortars that struck within a
block of the city's center.
Military officials said rebels attacked the city from three sides. Jour-
nalists at the scene said the guerrillas penetrated to withinaone block of the
army garrison in the city, which is 69 miles east of the capital.
Justice dept. official defends
Reagan s civil rights record
NEW YORK - the Reagan administration's chief civil rights enforcer
went to a church in Harlem yesterday to defend his record, saying civil
rights enforcement has been moving forward not backward as so many have
charged.
Assistant Attorney General William Bradford Reynolds said the ad-
minisration has been pursuing a "colorblind policy that keeps its eye riveted
on equal justice for every American.
"That, my fellow Americans, is the true mark of effective civil rights en-
forcement," Reynolds said in remarks prepared for delivery at the Church of
the Master in New York City's Harlem. A text was released by the Justice
Department in Washington.
Reynolds said the Reagan Justice Department has taken many "ground-
breaking initiatves" in the civil rights arena, spearheading major suits un-
der the Fair Housing Act and bringing the first civil rights case every again-
st a municipality for the combined charges of housing and employment
discrimination.

from Arkansas and Michigan. When
added to those won previously, Mondale
had a total of 443 delegates, Hart 298,
Jackson 48 and uncommitted 210, with
1,967 needed to win the nomination.
In Michigan, with 77.1 percent of
caucus units reporting, Mondale had
51',29g votes or '50.3 percent, Hart had
33 ,456 votes or 32.8 percent and Jackson,
hadL.4A,281 votes or 19 percent.
With 100 percent of Arkansas precin-
cts reporting, Mondale led with 43 per-
cent of the vote. Hart had won.29.9 per-
cent and Jackson 19.8 percent.
IN MISSISSIPPI, party officials
halted the count and said it would be
next week before it was completed.
With 66.3 percent of the precincts repor-
ting, Mondale had 30.1 percent, un-
committed 30 percent and Jackson 27.5
percent. Hart had 12.4 percent.
In South Carolina, with 78 percent of
precincts reporting, Jackson had 25
percent, Hart 12 percent, Mondale 9
percent, while 54 percent were uncom-
mitted. It was thought many of the un-
committed had been in the camp of Sen.
Ernest Hollings before he dropped out
of the race.
Americans living in the former
Panama Canal Zone voted to send their
three delegates to the convention un-
committed.
"IT LOOKS like we've had a very
good day today," Mondale said in
Waukegan, Ill.
"About 10 days ago they were writing
me off," he said. "The campaign was
over. Mondale is down the tube."
He noted that he had changed bis,.
campaign tactics and started a
"debate" in ,which he has -been
questioning .Hart's record ands
positions. "Now we've really bad the;
debate joined here," he said. "The
debate will go forward further. I feel
very good about it."
"IT'S A clear Mondale victory," Gov.
James Blanchard.said after surveying
early results in Michigan. He said Hart
did well only in college towns in the
state.
But Hart said he was pleased with the
results.
"Given the fact that I made just one
campaign appearance in Michigan, and
we made no concerted effort at the
national level or expenditure, the 40
percent showing in Michigan is a very,
good showing for us," he said.
The senator, said his showing sin
Arkansas also was good, "given one
political swing throughout the state."
He added, "I tend to agree with Vice
President Mondale that this campaign
will go on quite a ways and I think that
as time goes on we'll continue to do bet-
ter and better."

to vote was questioned. Supporters of
Mondale filed most of the challenges,
questioning the way voters at campus
area polling sites had verified their
residence status.
Voters were supposed to be
registered and have proof that they
lived within the area assigned to their
polling place in order to vote. But Mon-
dale supporters charged that some
voters at Campus Inn and other sites
were allowed to vote simply by

Mary Rielly, the caucus manager at
Angell Elementary School on S.
University, said student voters plosed a
problem because many of them had
registered just recently and were not on
the printed registration lists given to
caucus managers.
"I WANT them to vote - I don't want
to turn anyone away," said Rielly, who
said three students were turned away
because they had no proof of a local ad-
dress.
Cumberworth said the challenged
ballots will now be sent to the
Democratic party headquarters in
Lansing where a committee will
evaluate them and decide whether to
count them. She said party officials
will probably reject most of the
challenges because they stem from
"campaigns getting nervous" at the ed
of the caucus.
Despite the confusion over polling
places and caucus rules, more than
9,000 county residents voted yesterday.
Cumberworth said the turnout was
especially high in the campus area,
where student campaigners worked
hard to draw students to the polls.
"I voted for Hart," said LSA fresh-
man Mike Nachman. "He's the best
man and can beat Reagan."
"He's got guts," said another
student, who asked to remain
anonymous. "He stood up in Detroit
and said he didn't vote for the Chrysler
bill - that's guts."
While most students voted for one of
the three candidates still in the race,
several votes were cast at campus-area
sites for former 'candidates George
McGovern and John Glenn. And one
voter at the Campus Inn selected "Zip-
py the Pinhead" as his presidential
preference.

value to those already planning to attend law school or those
still undecided. Taught by the Hofstra Law School faculty, .
the Institute seeks to develop analytical skills and to intro-
duce the student to the law library and legal writing tech-
niques. These are essential tools for competent perfor-
mance in law school. The Institute will be conducted in the
same manner as regular law school courses and will include
case and statutory analyses and research techniques.
