S. Soldiers Stoned In Tokyo Memorial Day Row; Jap Reds Subdued By MPs Blue Shirts Burned More Trouble Expected With New Group On Way. Helmstedt, Germany, May 31 (Wednes'day)-(AP) Milling thousands of Rcd-hatlnjr residents of Helmstedt fought pro-Communist German youths In the streets last night. The anti-Reds won. Their opponents members of the Communist-controlled Freo German Youth (FDJ) begged for a truce after their blue shirts were ripped from their bjeks and heaped on bonfire's, along with their blue flags.

Thus the violence Berlin escaped in the massive Communist Whltsun rally finally erupted In this British zone town. It was tho first disorder stemming from last Sunday's show of strength by the Communists In Eastern Berlin. Tho trouble began when about 2,000 FDJ members from Western Germany found themselves temporarily marooned here for lack of transportation on their homeward trek from the Berlin rally. With the slogans of their Communist leaders still ringing In their ears, FDJ youths confidently marched from the railway station to restaurants, loudly singing the "Internationale." SINGING, JEERING, JOUSTING. Townspeople, out in droves to witness the Influx of the highly publicized Blueshlrts, responded with "Deutschland Ueber Alles," the for-meer German anthem.

The slngln.x changed to jeering then to fist fighting. Battered anil beaten, the out numbered FI1.I members promised to leave their blue shirts behind or aw many of them as they still possessed and get out of town promptly If their opponents would guarantee their safety. No serious Injuries were reported. i For a time Helmstedtera Worked off streets around the main body of FDJ youths In a park near the rail If Son At Helm, Daughter And Wife Aboard Fatality Is City's Third On Holiday. BY EDWARD BKNTZ.

A family boating party on the Ohio River ended in the drowning of Robert H. Dickman, 42 years old, 7548 Kirtley Kenwood, General Manager of the Alvey-Fcrguson when he slipped from the roof of his 30-foot cabin cruiser as he was sunning himself yesterday. His death was the third fatality in the Greater Cincinnati area over the Memorial Day holiday. Two other victims died in automobile crashes. Mr.

Dickman had been cruising with his wife, Mrs. Emma Jane Dickman, and two children, Mary Helen, 13, and Tommy, 8, aboard their craft, the "Rainbow." The family had just finished eating aboard the boat after a water junket of several hours. Mrs. Dickman was seated in the rear reading a newspaper. Her husband had mounted to the top deck for a sun bath.

At the helm was the son. WIFE SEES HIM. The boat was in the middle of the swift-rusrrfhg stream opposite Coney Island near Dam 36 when Mrs. Dickman suddenly saw her husband in the water. None of the family witnessed Mr.

Dickman's fall, they told Patrolman Bernard Henson and Paul Theobald of Hamilton County Police. Mr. Dickman yelled at his wife, who hurled a seat-cushion life preserver at him. Mr. Dickman lunged toward the flung preserver, but was unable to seize It.

He then shouted to have the bout circle back. Mrs. Dickman relayed the order to her son. As the boat was being turned around, Mrs. Dickman saw her husband strike off toward the Kentucky shore, then vanish in the fast current.

By the time the boat had been turned around the family could find no trace of the husband. Mrs. Dickman was unable to say how fast the cruiser had been traveling. She told officers that persons on another cruiser in the vicinity had not sighted her husband. BODY ISN'T RECOVERED.

Winner Hits 124 MPH, Beating 1939 Pace Californian Is In Lead Most Of Way Overcomes Bids By Rose And Holland. Indianapolis, May 30 (AP) A deluge that lasted no longer than 60, seconds today endod the scheduled 500-mile automobile race at 345 miles with Johnny Parsons, Van Nuys, a record-breaking winner. The handsome Sl-year-old 1949 racing champion of the American Automobile Association, led most of the way despite gallant bids by Mauri Rose, South Bend, a previous triple winner of the Memorial Day race, and Bill Holland, Beading, 1919 winner. With the throttle of his little four-cylinder racer pushed down to the floorboard, Parsons established a record speed average of 124.002 miles an hour for the 345 miles. Records were strewn in Parsons' wake from the 50-mile mark on to the sudden finish.

At 50 miles he averaged 124.941, and at the 100-mile mark he was speeding at 124.997 to blot out Wilbur Shaw's record performance of 123.441 in 1939. ECLIPSES SHAW'S RECORD. He eclipsed Shaw's record at 150 miles, for which Parsons' average speed was 125.579. At 200 miles Parsons was hitting 126.319 which also erased Shaw's record of 123.381 made in his 1939 triumph. The rainstorm that broke suddenly from one black cloud ended the race in confusion.

The final order of finish placed Holland in second place, with Rose third. Cecil Green of Houston, a first-time driver in the race, placed fourth, with Tony Betten-hausen, Tinley Park, 111., fifth. Twenty-three of the original 33-car starting field still were running when the race ended. NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. There were no serious accidents although three drivers were involved in minor spins while speeding the banked curves on the north end of the two and one-half mile track.

The cars remained in the race with the drivers escaping without a scratch. Rose, who finished fifth in the unofficial standings, added more confusion to the confusing windup by protesting that Green had passed him while the yellow light, warning the drivers to slow their speeds to 90 miles an hour, was lit. Rose posted bond with the AAA in filing the protest. The sudden short deluge, followed uf few minutes later by another downpour, drenched the estimated crowd of 175,000 shirt-sleeved spectators. As the first drops splashed on the track, the spectators began leaving the uncovered grandstand sections to seek shelter elsewhere.

$he yellow caution light blazed only for four minutes and 50 seconds before Tommy Milton, chief steward, decided to end the race. PRIZE ABOUT $50,000. The amount of money that Parsons will be enriched by this victory will not be known until the drivers' victory dinner tomorrow night. Presumably he will bag around $50,000. Here, concisely, is what happened In the race: Rose led for the first eight laps.

Parsons took over and led through the 33d lap. Rose passed Parsons in the 34th lap on the main straightaway but Parsons caught him before they hit the next turn. Parsons held the lead from the 85th through the 104th lap. Rose went in front again on the 105th lap while Parsons was in the pits taking on fuel. A pit stop and a minor fire lost the lead for Rose on the 110th lap, when Holland forged ahead.

Holland led from the 111th through the 118th lap, then lost time in the pits, and Parsons was man the rest of the way. At only do that if the people take over the government." Students in frayed pants and the peaked caps of the universities sang and shouted themselves into a frenzy. The trouble began, said a reliable source, when members of a Communist youth group snatched a notebook from a Japanese plain clothesman. Four U. S.

soldiers, there as observers, stepped In. One soldier was struck when he tried to grab the notebook. He struck back. The crowd then threw stones. One soldier was knocked down.

The four finally fought clear of the crowd. U. S. military police went looking for the trouble makers. They arrested three Japanese as the crowd entered Hlbaya Park for a second rally.

The put up a fight Clubs and fists flew. After the three Japanese were led away, another row broke out. A Japanese in a marching column shouted angrily at the line of military police. The MPs pulled him out of the line of march. Other Japanese in the column tried to prevent the arrest.

There was more pushing and shouting, but the Americans arrested two more Japanese and then fought out of the angry crowd. Two more Japanese were arrested when a crowd descended on a. police station and demanded release of the six. Tokyo, May 30 (AP) Four United States soldiers were stoned today at a Japanese Communist rally. American military police, reacting promptly, arrested eight demonstrators who provoked three other street melees.

It was the first Communist violence aimed at U. S. troops. This may be but the preview of bolder attacks on the occupation. Japan's Reds have been criticized by the Coininform for not getting toughen Tho Communists had boasted they would have 100,000 out for the frankly anti-American rally.

The turnout was only 5,000 or so. But the crowd made un in toughness for lack of numbers. First, the Communists tried to take over Imperial Plaza during the morning. The police stopped them. The plaza had been reserved by U.

S. occupation forces for a Memorial Day ceremony. The Communists, in leaflets, called the reservation of the plaza for U. S. troops "an intentional obstruction and suppression." But the Communists were back this afternoon and were allowed to mass in the downtown plaza.

Sanzo Nozaka, one of Japan's leading Reds, stepped to the platform and shouted "This isn't a parade ground. It's the people's plaza, and we must keep it the people's plaza. We can fres.

They are funneling back to their homes through Helmstedt. Here many of them are stranded for lack of transportation. British authorities said they were trying to arrange for special trains to take care of them. While waiting, the youths tried jauntily to carry on in the same, manner as in the Soviet Zone, but ran Into a hornet's nest of anti-Communist feeling. This feeling was heightened early this month when Moscow announced that all German war prisoners had been repatriated, leaving tens of thousands still unaccounted for.
