Many of the demonstrators arrested for blocking traffic in the downtown business district were punk rockers af- filiated with a group called "the War Chest Tours," a police spokesman said. SCORES of riot-clad officers moved in for the arrests when the demon- strators refused to disperse and sat down on California Street, route of one of the city's cable car lines. Police said at least 100 people were arrested for conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor and blocking a sidewalk, and were taken to the Hall of Justice across town. A spokeperson for the demonstrators said the group had intended to conduct a tour of financial district companies they claimed had connections with the Democratic party. THE DEMONSTRATORS were among several in the city yesterday. Later in the day, some 50,000 peace advocates made their bid to get the at- tention of the Democratic Party by matching the hoopla inside Moscone Center with a giant rally outside the underground hall. Some 500 organizations wer expected to take part in the "Vote Peace in '84" gathering. Randall Forsberg, chair- man of the group Nuclear Freeze, said pre-convention lobbying was successful and the proposed Democratic platform contains nine of 10 points sought hy peace groups. The peace rally followed Sunday's parades by labor union members and homosexual rights advocates, who jammed downtown streets in a pair of rallies that attracted 300,000 people. Despite some minor scuffles and heckling during the gay parade, only one arrest was made and police said it was not directly connected with the demonstrations.

Earlier yesterday, Jackson met with Bert Lance, the newly annointed Mon- dale campaign chief, and Democratic Party Chairman Charles Manatt to work out differences on platform planks, and Manatt said Jackson would play a "leadership role" in the party this fall. Hart tenaciously has refused to give up his quest for the nomination and said yesterday that if he becomes the presidential nominee he, too, would name Rep. Ferraro as his running mate.
