Hoffa, a trustee of the pension fund, was convicted hi U.S. District Court on four counts of fraud and conspiracy and faces 20 years in prison and a $13,000 fine.

Each codefendant was found guilty of at least one fraud charge and one of conspiracy. The indictment included 'mail'fraud charges and one conspiracy charge.

Two men were shot. One was in critical condition. More than 800 persons, nearly all Negroes, were arrested. More than 300 other persons were injured, including 35 police officers and several firemen. Thousands of Negroes participated in rioting throughout the weekend, but police had no estimate of the exact number.

Looters ran wild, pillaging and smashing, especially Saturday night. Liquor stores were a favorite target. Many rioters were "all fired (Please Turn to Page Two) Williams and Capt. L. P.

Although the address is actually Haymarket Square, "we can't take a -chance," Zpbel said. Firemen also went to 1815 Cherokee. Again it was a false alarm.

Eats and Oratory GOP Barbecue A crowd turned out for the Republican barbecue Sunday afternoon, appearing to enjoy the food as much if not more than the oratory. A promise to attend the GOP event was broken by several candidates for governor, who sent representatives instead. It was reported that the gubernatorial hopefuls had gone to another, and presumably larger rally at Wichita.

But an estimated 600 or more persons lined up for barbecued beef. Many stayed for speeches. It may have been fate, but the speaker's platform was in the sun, while the listeners' chairs were in the shade. Kenneth Metzger, Republican county chairman, said, "I was amazed at the way people stayed around to listen to the speakers. In previous years, we have not had speakers but people are really interested in what these fellows have to say." Sen.

He ruled the defendants could remain free under present bond arrangements until the hearings. Walsh said he planned to appeal Hoffa's conviction. One defendant, Benjamin Dranow, 56, a former Minneapolis businessman now serving a prison term for tax fraud, was returned to jail. The government's conspiracy conviction resulted from its charge that Hoffa and the others schemed to rescue Hoffa from a failing investment in a real estate project near Orlando, Fla.
