A A Evening Journal, Wilmington, Del. Monday, September 27, 1971) Pre-election Protests Flare In S. Viet Cities Compiled from Dispatches SAIGON Demonstrations against the one-man election race of President Nguyen Van Thieu broke out today in several South Vietnam's biggest cities. An estimated 200 disabled war veterans, some armed with hand grenades, rioted in Da Nang and national police, used tear gas to herd the streets. At least five policemen were wounded before the outburst was calmed and the protesters were confined to their shantytown.

The protest, near Da Nang Air Base at the edge of the city, began with about 50 veterans and quickly swelled to 200, the sources said. In Qui Nhon, some 2,000 disabled veterans and marched peacefully in a demonstration against Thieu's uncontested campaign for re-election Sunday. The march was by far the largest anti-Thieu demonstration of the past three weeks.

Police made no effort to break it up. THE demonstrators burned Thieu posters and voting cards. said the groups would Leaders, strongly" if Thieu did not resign. But they did not elaborate on what they would do. In Can Tho, about 100 veterans also demonstrated against Thieu School Buses Fire-bombed In Kalamazoo KALAMAZOO, Mich.

(P) Police say someone has tried to burn the buses used in a courtordered school desegregation program in Kalamazoo. Police said: a fire bomb was slipped through or under a 10- foot cyclone fence surrounding a school bus lot early today. The device went off, but was quickly extinguished by a janitor and a guard. There was minor damage to one bus. There were no arrests and police say they have no suspects.

Police also report that during the early morning hours, several city hydrnats were opened, dropping pressure in fire-fighting lines. It was not known whether the two events were related.

About 20 disabled veterans also took to the street in Saigon in the first progovernment demonstration of the election campaign. The demonstration was in front of the National Assemb-1 Ily building on the capital's main square. Participants arrived and left in a government truck.

Police broke up the demonstration after about an hour, scuffling with several veterans and firing a handful of tear-gas cannisters. Vietnamese observers said police intervened to lend an air of authenticity to the demonstration, which they said was government-inspired. THE demonstrators were first allowed through a barricade surrounding the well-guarded assembly building. They erected pro-Thieu banners on the steps and handed out leaflets proclaiming support for Thieu's antiCommunist "four No coalition, no neutrality, no concession of land to the Communists, and no political activity by Communists in South Vietnam. The veterans, calling themselves the Veterans Committee for the Right to Live, said in their leaflets that "the Communists and their henchmen" were responsible for recent antigovernment protests.

Justice Black, whose populist interpretation of the Bill of Rights increased the individual freedoms of all Americans, died Saturday in Bethesda Naval Hospital, a week after his retirement from the high court. Hospital spokesmen attributed the 85-year-old jurist's death to "inflammation of the arteries and stroke." He suffered a stroke Sept. 19 while hospitalized for the blood condition. JUSTICES of the Supreme Court, active and retired, will serve as honorary pall bearers at the burial services scheduled for 3 p.m. It is not known whether dent Nixon will attend the services, but it is anticipated he, will make an announcement after his scheduled return today from his trip to Alaska.

Throughout Justice Black's 34 years on the nation's highest bench, he followed his belief that the 1st Amendment to the Constitution guarantees absolute freedom of the press, religion and speech. The former Clay Conty, farmer's son carried a thumbworn copy of the Constitution with him and often quoted its passages. HIS beliefs led him to landmark opinions, the most controversial of which banned government-sponsored prayer in the schools. "It is no part of the business 0g government to compose official prayers for any group of the American people to recite," he stated. His latest position concurred with the majority to allow publication of the Pentagon Papers.

Harlan, who retired a few days after Justice Black, is suffering from cancer, it was disclosed. Bernard Shustack Bernard Shustack, 76, of 1902 Maple died Saturday at Emily P.

Ministers Mull Ills Of Ireland LONDON -Three prime ministers met today in crucial summit session ained at dragging Ireland from the jaws of civil war. Britain's Prime Minister Edward Heath was host in the calm of the English countryside to Northern Ireland's Brian Faulkner and the Irish republic's Jack Lynch. Even as they met at Chequers, Heath's country residence, the turmoil ground on in embattled Northern Ireland. A major riot erupted in Belfast's New Lodge Road as Britishtroops swooped in a search for suspected guerillas of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. A hail of gasoline bombs met a bulldozer sent in to tear down barricades.

Men of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment opened fire and reported one rioter was shot. NINE men were arrested in the Belfast swoop. Ten others were taken in a dawn raid at Bellaghy, a village 30 miles northwest of Belfast. The three prime ministers met at noon. Earlier, Lynch had a private 90-minute session with Heath.

Faulkner had a similar session with Heath last night. Informed sources said Faulkner impressed on Heath the need, as he sees it, for firmer action by Lynch to control manufacture and distribution of explosives in the Irish republic. THE republic produces three million pounds of gelignite a year for use in mining and road construction. Faulkner's aides are convinced that some of it crosses the border into Northern Ireland to make bombs for the TRA's sabotabe campaign. Officials on all three sides cautioned against any quick solutions to the turmoil, which in two years has cost 110 dead in Northern Ireland.

The victims include 24 British soldiers sent to keep the peace beyween the province's feuding Protestant and Catholic communities.
