trol conference, sponsored joint-; ly by the Department of Justice- HONG KONG (AP) Wild rumors of water and electricity shutdowns and a rice shortage spread through Hong Kong on Saturday as Communist leaders brewed a confrontation that nei ther Red China nor Britain is believed to want. For the third straight day, teen-age gangs as small as 50 in number and mobs up to 3,000 surged through North Kowloon's Sanpokong workers' district re newing violence that started over a strike of Chinese workers at three factories making artificial flowers. British colonial officials have been accused of racial suppression and police brutality in chain of events similar to the pro-Chinese Communist con frontation of the Portuguese in Macao, a Portuguese enclave in Red China. Hong Kong is also at Red China border. The Portuguese gave in to Chinese demands after leaders in Peking backed the pro-Corn munists on Macao.

Top-ranking British officials in Hong Kong fear Communists and their newspapers here might bring on a similar con frontation in their efforts to impress Peking with their anlico- lonialist zeal. Rumors spread in Hong Kong that workers in the water and electric power facilities will go on strike and that rice was run ning out. Despite broadcast denials by the colonial govern ment, thousands of Chinese rushed to shops to buy up rice supplies, candles and water buckets. Householders filled bathtubs and buckets full of water with a result that water mains quickly ran dry. Hong Kong's chief water supply is from the Chinese mainland.

Powell Takes Case To Highest Court WASHINGTON (AP) Adam Clayton Powell turned to the Supreme Court Saturday in his effort to regain the congression al seat from which he was oust ed by the House last March 1. Attorneys for the banished Harlem congressman asked the court to reverse a U.S.

District Court ruling which dismissed Powell's suit seeking to overturn the House's action. In applying to the Supreme Court, Powell's attorneys are bypassing the regular channel of appeals in hopes of getting prompt settlement of the case. Last month the Court of Ap peals for the District of Colum bia refused to act without a full hearing. Powell's attorneys contend that a hearing in the Court of Appeals would leave no time for Supreme Court action until Oc tober, by which time Congress prooaniy would have adjourned.

THE FAMILY OF DEWEY P. WISE Single Monuments As Low Double Monuments CtVl As low As Priced Memorllll In This Arte. WASHINGTON (AP) Prcsi- dent Johnson declared Saturday that crime in the streets has become the nation's second-ranking worry next to peace.

He said there isn't much he could do about either withoutl the help of others. "Uppermost in everybody's mind is how to make peace in the world," the President told a crime-control conference, ad ding that America's role is lim ited because "other people par ticinate, too." "The United States has just a small part," Johnson said. Its people total 200 million ot tne world's three billion population, he noted. And he said: "We can't con trol the other fellows' conduct but we're trying to lead and hasten the time when there will be peace in the world." "Next to peace, I guess," the President told a meeting of law yers, "our people worry most about crime. "I didn't start it, I have no control over it, I'm not responsi ble for it and there's not a great deal I can do about it," without help Johnson said.

Guard Leaves Strife Scene In Mississippi JACKSON, Miss. (AP) The National Guard pulled out Its weary troops from Jackson State College on Saturday after a peaceful night cooled off a riot atmosphere on the alMfegro campus. "The situation at Jackson State has stabilized itself to a point where it is felt that local law enforcement agencies are able to control it," said State Adj. Gen. Walter Johnson.

Nearly 400 guardsmen had been called to the campus after student rioting Wednesday and Thursday, but the guard force dwindled considerably as peace was restored. Calm prevailed on the campus Friday night and early Saturday as police and guardsmen stood by to prevent a recurrence of rioting that rocked the campus the two previous nignts.
