Thatcher appeal is
rejected by crowd

From AP and UPI
LIVERPOOL, England - A tomato
hurled from a crowd narrowly missed
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
yesterday after she urged Britons "not
to despair" following 10 straight nights
of rioting across Britain.
The crowd included several young
Socialists who were protesting Mrs.
Thatcher's economic policies, which
they blame for England's record
unemployment. Many more buttons
reading, "Give us Jobs, Not Pigs," a
reference to police.
MRS. THATCHER told a news con-
ference later she has had little sleep
during the last 10 days, calling them
"the most worrying days" since she
took office.
"I hope peace will soon be restored,"
she said. "There is no future for anyone
unless law and order is upheld."
She appealed to Liverpool's 30,000
blacks, mostly of West Indian descent,
to overcome their mistrust of police -
"to look upon the police as friends to
whom they can turn if they are in
trouble."
BLACK LEADERS complained of
police harassment, but one, of them,
Wally Brown, said Mrs. Thatcher "just
didn't grasp what we were saying."
Responding to black leaders who
alleged police harassment for many of
the riots which have hit cities all over
England, Mrs. Thatcher said,

Thatcher
... don't despair
"Whatever mistrust exists, we must try
to get rid of it."
But she added the police also had to
realize that "the law has no color."
Without cooperation with the police,
Mrs. Thatcher added, there would be
"no law and no society."
QUEEN ELIZABETH, according to
the Daily Telegraph newspaper, was
"shocked" and "concerned" by the
continued violence and was expected to
receive a detailed report from Mrs.
Thatcher at Buckingham Palace.
Meanwhile, police in Dundee,
Scotland, said 20 youths were arrested
during the night in the port city 40 miles
north of Edinburgh after teenagers
went on a rampage, staging three fire-
bomb attacks. Eleven English cities
also were hit but it .was the first time
police reported violence in Scotland.

Stowe's novel is "Uncle Tom's Cabin,
or Life Among the Lowly."

Today
Big foot, Big smell
T HOSE 7-FOOT, HAIRY, foul-smelling creatures are the same the,
world over, whether they're called Bigfoot, Yeti, a skunk ape or an
abominable snowman, says Park Ranger Patrick Higgins. The stories from
campers and visitors at the Northwest River Park near Chesapeake, Va.,
seem to fit the general image. "The descriptions of these things, they all
match from all 'bver the world," said Higgins who says he's had experience
trying to spot Bigfoots in Florida. "They're 7 to 8 feet tall, fully haired with
brownish hair, with a real foul odor, and leave large footprints. And they're
harmless, very meek and timid," he said. Sherry Davis told the Chesapeake
Post recently she thought she was crazy when she spotted a Bigfoot running
through the park's campground on June 9. It was hairy and about 7 feet tall,
she said. It took her a while to decide to come forward with the information.
Higgins found no evidence of a bear. He has described the creature's smell
as like that of "an uncovered septic tank," but when he checked out the one
tank in the area, he saw no leaks and detected no odor. "Now, I'm not saying
it is, but I'm not ruling it out that it isn't," Higgins said. "We need more in-
formation." But if - just if - it is, Higgins has a few theories. So Higgins
figures it's either attracted by cooking smells or is looking for a mate.
"Maybe he's lonely," the ranger said. "I know it's not a guy out there in a fur
coat. It was about 100 degrees, and he would have dropped from heat
prostration. We would have found him. i m
