Page 4-Saturday, July11; 1981-The Michigan Daily London rocked by looting and rioting 1 LONDON (AP)-Rioting and looting turned much of London into a bat- tleground last night, and the week-long rash of urban violence spread to six provincialicities. London appeared to be hardest hit. Anxious messages from the trouble spots crackled on police radios. Police said gangs of black, Asian and white youths were on the rampage, throwing gasoline bombs, burning cars and buildings, stoning the police, smashing shop windows and fighting among themselves. Home Secretary William Whitelaw signed an order banning demon- strations in greater London for a month in a bid to restore order. Scotland Yard reported 231 arrests and more than 40 officers injured in London just after midnight. Rioting erupted for the first time in the northern industrial cities of Bir- mingham, Ellesmere Port, Hull, Newcastle and Preston, and broke out again in Liverpool, where riots last Sunday night were England's worst in 200 years. On the eighth straight night of urban violence, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said the nation had witnesaed 'I I INDIVIDUAL THEATRES 5* Ae.W Lbry 719700 150 DAILY $j O TIL 6:00 PM ENDS THUJRSI ATLANTIC THE CRITICSU LOVE IT!

She spoke of the fragility of Britain's democracy in the face of the riots. "The veneer of civilization is very thin. It has to be cherished if it is to con- tinue,' Mrs. Thatcher told a parliamentary reporters' dinner in London. The London fire brigade said its engines were attacked as they an- swered calls to street fires. In two Lon- don districts, Southall and Battersea, engines were removed fr6m their stations after mobs attacked them and their crews. In the provincial cities, officials said violence was mostly in city centers, with window smashing, looting and at- tacks on police, who were out in force with riot shields.

Q - cont,,Ixted bvth9p*I*h ' In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports 46 bodies found in Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Forty-six bodies, many showing signs of torture, were discovered in shallow graves at Chalatenango, the government said yesterday. An official who was at the site described the killings as "a horrible massacre." The official, who requested anonymity, said an investigation indicated many of the victims were pulled from their homes Wednesday night, ap- parently by right-wing extremists looking for leftists and leftist sym- pathizers. THE BODIES FOUND at Chalatenango, about 40 miles north of San Salvador, were among 60 discovered in this strife-torn nation during a 24- hour period, the government said. Eight bodies with bullet wounds were found in Nejapa, 14 miles north of the capital, the army said. Baptist minister agrees to discontinue shocks GRAND RAPIDS-A Baptist minister says he will stop shocking Bible school students with a 12-volt battery to teach them to listen to God, Kent County's prosecuting attorney said yesterday. Prosecutor David Sawyer said the Rev. Dwight Wymer agreed to discon- tinue the attention-grabbing Bible school stunt after learning criminal charges could be brought against him ifa child suffered an injury in connec- tion with'the shocks. Kent County Prosecutor David Sawyer said yesterday that Michigan law is vague about the legality of the shocks, since the children volunteered and it wasn't used for disciplinary purposes. "But we're certainly concerned," he said. "I've talked with electrical ex- perts and they say that with a transformer coil, those kids are getting hit with a higher voltage than six volts. "If one of those children had a birth defect or if the voltage was high enough, we could have cardiac arrest and that might result in death. Then we havea case of involuntary manslaughter." Religious leaders of various denominations yesterday said they were alarmed at a Baptist minister's use of electric shocks to teach the wrath of God to children in Bible school. Complimentary maybe, but this whistle could be a crime EAST LANSING-Scott Marks thought his "wolf whistle" was a com- pliment, but it may turn out to beoa crime. The 18-year-old East Lansing man was riding through town with a friend earlier this week when he spotted an attractive young woman and let loose with a loud whistle to show his appreciation. The next thing he knew, the car was being pulled over by East Lansing Patrolman Len Wells who cited him for violating the city's noise ordinance and making an offensive sound-a misdemeanor. Many walkers and joggers have complained about harassment and "it just occured to me that the ordinance should be enforced," he said. The noise ordinance violation carries a fine of up to $25. The other charge-under an ordinance which makes it illegal to "accost, molest or otherwise annoy" by tough, word of mouth or gesture-carries a maximum fine of $100 or 90 days in jail. State travel officials say this could be record year LANSING-It may be too soon to break out the champagne, but Michigan travel industry officials-said yesterday early indications show 1981 could be a record year for tourism in the state. Residents of bordering states are flocking to Michigan in droves and those who already live here are taking their vacation trips close to home, both the state Travel Bureau and the Auto Club of Michigan reported. The state's 10 percent increase in Fourth of July holiday travel is a good indication the remainder of the summer will be good for the tourist trade, one of the state's top industries, said Jerry Cheste, a spokesman for the Auto Club. Murder charge reversed on technical grounds LANSING-The Michigan Court of Appeals yesterday reversed, on technical grounds, a woman's manslaughter conviction in the shotgun slaying of a live-in boyfriend who allegedly beat her when she failed to give him money. Jacqueline McDonald testified in the Wayne County case that the boyfriend began demanding money shortly after moving in with her and got violent when she could not or would not come across with money. After several assaults, Ms. McDonald said, sh asked him to leave, but he retur- ned a short time later and beather regularly.
