The crowd's fury resulted from Mr. Campbell's order Wednesday suspending Richard, the highest scorer In professional hockey, after the Montreal star struck a player and an oiikial during a game at Boston last Sunday night. Richard himself was sitting in the Forum near Mr. Campbell last night when the trouble started, but was unnoticed by the crowd.

Police estimated that 15,000 persons were in and around the Forum at the height of the trouble.

Ralph E. Spear, assistant Civil Defense Administrator for planning, testified before a Government Operations subcommittee headed by Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn).

Senator Humphrey asked whether, if an atomic or hydrogen bomb were dropped on an American city, the American people "can be assured" that the medical profession "can treat them" for radiation injury. Xo, honestly I would have to ay they are not prepared," Mr. Spear replied. But, he continued, he thought the medical profession was in better shape to deal with Civil defense problems it would encounter than were "many other services." Mr. Spear said there have been no seminars with medical groups.

He said at the outset of his testimony that the Atomic Energy Commission had been "most co-operative" with his agency. REPORTS ARE DELATED But he said "I think we ran Into an unusual delay" in getting factual information from the AEC on results of the H-bomb test at Bikini in March, 1954. Lewis W. Strauss, chairman of the AEC, released detailed Information on the hazards of radiation fall-out last month. His report was that the fall of radio-active dust from an H-bomb explosion might contaminate an area of 7000 square miles.

Mr. Spear said he had been "tearing his hair out for many months on this thing many of Us were." The problem was much further complicated, he testified, because the fall-out Information, available only to persons having a "que" clearance before It was made public by Mr. Strauss, was aeeplng Into the Civil Defense Administration for study while that agency was in the midst of moving to Battle Creek, Mich. This meant resignations of lome persons who had "que" clearance to study top-secret information, from the AEC. It took time to replace them with ether "que" clearance employee he said.

Times Special WASHINGTON, March 18 The executive board of the International Longshoremen's Association elected Anthony (Tough Tony) Anastasia as a vice president today. The selection of the Brooklyn dock union leader was a mystery of political stratetgy. The union, ousted from the American Federation of Labor a year and a half ago for alleged racket connections and undemocratic practices, is trying to get back.

It would like to regain its old charter, but it is considering an affiliation through the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Although there is no actual criminal conviction in Anasta-sia's record, his elevation to a vice presidency may make it difficult for the teamsters to accept the ILA and defend it before the Federation. His namem has been associated with all the elements and practices that AFL has condemned. Boy Killed By Bus After Church Class SYRACUSE, N.

Mr. Spear said of the AEC: "They have never withheld ultimately any Information from civil defense authorities." Senator Humphrey quoted to Spear testimony by Val Peterson, civil defense chief, before another Senate subcommittee recently.

He said Mr. Peterson testified that top civil defense officials couki ti.it even discuss the question of fallout wtih subordinates who, although cleared for "top secret" defense information, did not have AEC "que" clearance. Mr. Spear said that problems involved in "que" clearance had "not handicapped" the agency much in the past. He added that out of a total of some 600 employees the Civil Defense Agency had 109 cleared (or atomic Information.

All the rest, he said, were cleared for "secret" or "top secret" data.

Colo. who, like Senator Millikln, is interested in protecting the lead and zinc miners against the lowered tariffs possible under the bill. Mr. Taft in his prepared statement charged that opponents of the bill had caused workmen to flood Congress with postcards "which carry statements that the prime circulators must know to be lies." He also declared that "when any opponents of this legislation appear before this committee they are professional pessimists and their wails of anguish are heartrending." Now it was Senator Kerr's turn.

He read Mr. Taft's statements with feeling, then demanded; "You don't take the position, do you. that you art the only informed or the only honest witness to come before this committee?" "No, sir, I do not," Mr. Taft replied. But when the Cincinnatian ventured another statement of fact, the senator erupted with: "Mr.

Taptain" Refuses To Sail To A Neutral Ceylon Port Ship To Sell Fuel At Sea, Report HELSINKI, Finland, March 18 (UP) The captain of the Finnish tanker Aruba, bound for Red China with a cargo of 13,000 tons of jet plane fuel, today rejected demands of his rebellious crew that the ship enter a neutral port in Ceylon. It was reported here that he was prepared to transfer the highly controversal fuel cargo at a rendezvous on the high seas, if necessary. A spokesman for the Finnish seamen's union said tonight that the crew would strike if the captain attempts to sail beyond the Nicobar Islands, northwest of Sumatra. The Aruba's 42-man crew, its chief petty officer and its three mates have refused to take the ship into China waters where the Nationalist Chinese Navy has been ordered to seize or sink the tanker rather than let its fuel cargo reach the Reds.

If transhipment at sea is made, it was not Clear here whether it would be to some Communist Chinese vessel or another tanker willing to risk running the Nationalist blockade, or whether the cargo is open for dickering. British sources had suggested the United States might prevent the shipment from mushrooming into a new Far Eastern crisis by buying the Aruba's fuel. The procedure was followed two years ago when the United States bought and transferred to a U. Navy tanker a cargo of jet fuel carried by another Finnish tanker, the Wiima. Vodka Sales Legalized ST.

PAUL, March 18 Gov. Orville L. Freeman late today signed a bill from the Minnesota Legislature legalizing sale of vodka in Minnesota. Sponsors of the bill said, while it was under consideration, that Minnesota has been the only state where sale of liquor Is legal that did not permit sale of vodka. HUGH CHEHliY r.L NEW DRIVER LONDON, March 18 (UP) Official British sources said today that Russia was attempting to renege cm millions of dollars of orders for consumer goods, placed here before Premier Georgi Malenkov was ousted for making life in Russia too "soft." Orders for goods valued at $14 million to $28 million are said to be involved.

The Soviet trade delegation In London was reported by British sources to be discussing the possibility of canceling orders with a number of British concerns. Russia's reluctanre to accept the goods appears to be a direct outcome of the recent shift In Soviet economic policy from Malenkov's emphasis on consumer goods to the old, Stalinist stress on heavy industry and war matetrlals. "The Russian trade delegation has told a number of British firms that Russian importing agencies wish to cancel or modify orders placed with them," the Board of Trade said. These orders, the board added, were mainly consumer goods or machinery to make consumer goods. "The trade delegation and the firms concerned are discussing the issue as a commercial matter," a spokesman said.

The British government has steered clear, so far, from becoming directly involved. The switch in Moscow's trade policy, which accompanied the replacement of Malenkov by No Harm Expected From Yalta Papers By State Secretary OTTAWA, March 18 (AP) Secretary of State John Foster, Dulles said today he saw nothing in American publication of the Yalta papers that would harm diplomatic relations among the free nations. He said the essentials all had been published before. Mr. Dulles showed no signs of irritability at today's 50-minute news conference in Ottawa.

He is in Canada on a three-day state visit which will end tomorrow. He said the documents were released in the normal course of proceedings in the State Department and asked why they should not be published. Mr. Dulles said he would not be pinned down on whether the Inlted States would for the Islands of Quemoy and Matsu. This Is a decision which will be made at the proper time by President Elsenhower.

He hailed the West German parliament's final ratification of the Paris treaties as another important step In accomplishing what he believes is the greatest single goal of the free nations since World War II. This goal is co-operation of the French and Germans for peace. The United States remains prepared to negotiate with the Communists whenever there is a reasonable prospect for success.
