KENT, Ohio (UPI) Four students were shot to death on the Kent State University campus Monday when National Guardsmen, believing a sniper had attacked them, fired into a crowd of rioting antiwar protestors. It was the nation's most violent confrontation since the peace drive began. At least 11 persons were wounded, three critically, before order was restored and the university shut down for at least a week. Students and National Guard officials gave different versions of what triggered the gunfire, but the Guard admitted no warning was given that the troops would begin firing their Ml semiautomatic rifles.

The battle began after about 1000 demonstrators, defying an order not to assemble, rallied on the commons at the center of the tree-lined campus. Guardsmen moved in and fired tear gas grenades at the mob, which broke and ran. The protesters then regrouped and confronted about 300 guardsmen on a practice football field. The students, now numbering 1500, charged down a hill and pelted the troops with rocks. Guardsmen exhausted their supply of tear gas.

Students, who tossed back the can-nisters, surrounded the troops on three sides. Then, according to State Adjutant General S. T. Del Corso, "a sniper opened fire against the guardsmen from a nearby rooftop." Del Corso. who was in Columbus, the state capital, maintained contact with the troops through Brig.

Gen. Robert Canterbury, who commanded the guard force or. campus. Student eyewitnesses said they did not hear any gunfire before the guardsmen began shooting. "All of a sudden." said one male student, "some of them turned around, faced the crowd of students and started firing." A coed said she saw several guardsmen drop to their knees and fire from a kneeling position.

A blonde coed, who said she had a clear view of the shooting, said "at least half of the soldiers fired Into the air or into the ground, but some of them simply aimed right at the students." Told of the shootings in Washington, President Nixon said the tragedy should convince educators and students that when "dissent turns to violence, it invites tragedy. "It is my hope that this tragic and unfortunate incident will strengthen the determination of all the country's campuses, administrators, faculty and students alike to stand firmly for the right which exists in this country of peaceful dissent and just as strongly against the resort to violence as a means of such expression." It was the bloodiest confrontation that has yet taken place in the three-year-old student crusade against the Vietnam war, a crusade that had waned into virtual silence until Mr. Nixon gave it new impetus last week by announcing his invasion of the Cambodian territory where North Vietnam troops have long found sanctuary. After the dead and injured had been removed to Robinson Memorial Hospital In nearby Ravenna, authorities closed the university for at least a week, and sent the 20.. 000 students home.

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN with bayonets on their Ml rifles guarded the university administration building at key Intersections on campus. Trouble started at Kent State Friday night, when an estimated 500 students swept through the business district smashing windows. Gov. James A. Rhodes sent out the National Guard the following nighi when an ROTC building was set afire.

Gov. Rhodes called It "the saddest day I have known as governor." THE HARD CORE were lined up in a parking lot to the rear of Prentice Hall. Guardsmen were lined up at the edge of the practice field. The protesters shouted a lot of obscenities and things like "pigs off campus," and threw sticks and rocks at the guardsmen. The guardsmen went down on their knees in an aiming position.

The protesters kept throwing things. The guardsmen backed off and went into a kneeling position again. The protesters would retreat, then charge throwing things and shouting. They did this two or three times. The guard kept moving back and the protesters coming forward.

Some of the protesters started to move along the side of the field where a large crowd of spectators was gathered. The guardsmen fired tear gas shells toward Taylor Hall, but every time someone would pick up the tear gas cannister and throw it back toward the guardsmen. THEN I HEARD some loud cracks that sounded like firecrackers. Everyone started running. I headed for Taylor Hall again.

As I was running I looked up and there was blood on my hand. I glanced to one side. Some fellow I didn't know was falling down, bleeding. I had brushed against him apparently. I headed back into Taylor Hall and got under cover.

I heard a scrie? of "cracks." The next thing I knew the ambulances were driving up the hillside and they were picking up people off the ground, BY GREG BENEDETTI News Director, Radio Station WKSU KENT, Ohio I was at the campus radio station (WKSU) before the rally started and tried to get to the University News Service on the other side of the Commons. By the time I got to Taylor Hall, which Is about halfway across Commons, the rally had already started. The students were at the base of the Commons, at the bottom of the hill, and the guardsmen were lined up on the other side at the opposite end of the Commons near where the ROTC building was burned Saturday night. When I saw that things were under way I decided to duck into Taylor Hall. The guardsmen warned students over the public address system to clear the area.

They didn't. Then the guardsmen started to march in a single line stretching across the Commons, firing tear gas. The students started to scatter, running up the hill past Taylor Hall. Many who seemed to be hard core demonstrators veered toward Prentice Hall to their left. I ducked out of the way as tear gas seeped Into the building, but as soon as the tear gas cleared I went up to the other end of the building toward the practice football field.

Move Into Cambodia Allison Krausc slain Kent coed Sfindy Lee Scheuer also shot, killed Kent Profile KENT, Ohio i.Ti Kent State University, which was shut down Monday in the wake of a bloody clash between student demonstrators and Ohio National Guardsmen, has a student body which has mushroomed close to 19,000, a $35.8 million operating budget and a massive building program which never quite seems to keep pace with the booming enrollment. Last year, president Robert I. White warned that it might be necessary to limit admissions to the state-supported institution because of limitations placed on payments by the State Legislature.

If there were problems with a few hundred liberal students, they did not appear to be major problems. The State Highway Patrol was sent onto campus in April last year to put down a disturbance by members of the Students for a Democratic Society, and the SDS later was banned from the campus White told university trustees after that incident that Kent State has "consistently rejected coercive or violent actions of those whose clearly described goal was eventual destruction of the university." A survey taken a few weeks later showed that 81Cr of the students and faculty favored calling for aid from the state patrol and National Guard to put down disturbances and 54 of the undergraduates approved of the way the administration handled the disturbances. He said "a complete investigation" would be made into the shootings. "We have called on both the Ohio Highway Patrol and the National Guard to conduct a complete investigation nnd supply us with full reports. "In the meantime, we are urging additional investigations of this incident by the Portage County prosecutor, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States District Attorney for this area." City officials in Kent, which has a population of 18,000, declared a state of emergency.

All stores were closed and traffic was blocked from entering or leaving the community. Ten students were arrested before order was restored. A year ago the university was the scene of a disorder in which seven students were convicted of inciting to riot. Four of the seven, all local leaders of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), were released from the Portage County jail at Ravenna last Thursday. BULLETIN OXFORD, Ohio (Special) About 20 persons, most of them students, were arrested in a large-scale drug raid carried out by 30 officers from five Butler County police departments at the Miami and Western College campuses here late Monday.

The raids were carried out at dormitories on the two campuses. Butler County sheriff's deputies si4 two women one of them a student, the second a visitor from Pittsburgh, Pa. were taken into custody in a Western college dorm. The rest of the arrests were made at dormitories on the Miami campus here, a police spokesman said. Police confiscated what was described as "a large quantity" of drugs, including marijuana, morphine "and other substances which will be analyzed later." sir IN MOSCOW, Premier Alexei N.

Kosygin called his first news conference since taking office in 1964 to denounce the United States for a "crude violation" of the Geneva agreements. And in an official Peking broadcast monitored in Hong Kong, the Communist Chinese government called the U. S. foray into Cambodia a "mad provocation" and promised By United Press Internaitonal The Soviet Union and Red China strongly protested Monday the U. S.

So did the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which said President Nixon violated the Constitution by sending the American force across the South Vietnamese border. Record Local Turnout Predicted For Primary its honor in Cambodia is a mockery of the word honor," said the Soviet premier. "To destroy a peaceful country, to burn villages and kill people, is something that, I think, does not require any comment from me." Coinciding with Kosyin's news conference, the Chinese broadcast was Peking's first official reaction to Mr. Nixon's dispatch of U.

S. troops into Cambodia. It pledged "powerful backing" to Communist forces in Indochina and vowed to "support their anti-U. S. and national salvation struggle through to the end." The State Department, meanwhile, appeared to be more willing than before to hold another international conference on Indochina, even though Kosygin spoke out against such negotiations.

Robert J. McCloskey, State Department spokesman, said the United States "would not under any circumstances be opposed" to a conference to try to bring peace to all of Indochina. Down Down, to support Indochinese Communists "with all our forces." In Washington, the Defense Department said no more massive retaliatory air strikes apparently part of a plan to put more pressure on the Communists throughout Southeast Asia were planned against antiaircraft sites in North Vietnam. But it warned that they would be resumed if the North Vietnamese shot at any more unarmed U. S.

reconnaissance planes. The Foreign Relations Committee, in a report to the full Senate, said Mr. Nixon was conducting a "constitutionally unauthorized war In Indochina," but members again postponed taking any steps to reverse U. S. policy in Southeast Asia.

In a two-hour meeting, the committee reluctantly agreed to attend a Tuesday night White House meeting Mr. Nixon had called to explain his Cambodian intentions. Some senators had originally considered boycotting the meeting. At his news conference at the Kremlin, Kosygin meantime rejected any new Geneva conference on Indochina. "Now is not the time for conferences," he said, "it is the time for action."

THEIR BATTLE, which has produced heavy in-fighting and rancor within local GOP circles, led party leaders to predict a 70,000 record turnout of Hamilton County Republican voters today.

On the local-race level, chief voter interest is in three contested Democratic races: the four-man race for the First Congressional District nomination; a three-way contest In the state's Ninth Senatorial District, and a race In the Ohio 69th Legislative District featuring four aspirants. Added to this are some contested races in the American Independent party the state's new official political force. HELPING PULL voters to the polls will be three issues affecting either Cincinnati or a large portion of the county.

They are the Charter Amendment changing the city's earnings rate from 1 to 1.7, Cincinnati School District's eight-mill renewal levy and the 1.85-mill levy for formation of a vocational-school district in 22 suburban districts. There are also 25 suburban issues on the ballots In various of the county's cities, villages and townships. Of the expected record Republican vote, said former county chairman Gordon H. Scherer, "there never has been a Hamilton County primary that has produced more In-. terest, and unnecessary bitterness, within our party than this one." If absentee-voting is a criterion, the vote well should produce a record high.

The board Monday had received a total of 1579 such ballots, with a handful more possibly to come from armed services personnel. In the last preceding gubernatorial primary of 1966, a total of 657 were counted.
