In Youngstown some 400 National Guardsmen and police patrolled three sections after a brief flurry of gunfire and firebombings that left three men wounded, including two policemen. The city was under a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew.

All bars in Mahoning County were ordered closed for 72 hours beginning at 7 p.m. Monday. Gas stations were also ordered closed. Cincinnati police said the 2l'i hours of rioting there occurred after a rumor spread that a while policeman had shot a Negro woman. Police said the woman was killed accidentally by her husband.

During the rioting in the Mount Auburn area, Noel Wright, 30, was pulled from his car, beaten and fatally stabbed. His wife, Lois, 28, was beaten by three Negro girls but was not seriously injured. Five judges heard rioters' cases into the night at municipal court. Some were sentenced to jail terms or fined up to $500 within a few hours of their arrests. Buffalo, N.Y., appeared calm today after a night of sporadic destruction by hundreds of young Negroes.

The disorder broke out Monday following a peaceful march by Orrlr teen-agers in memory of King. Pittsburgh officials ordered 1,000 more National Guardsmen into the city today to enforce a peace which came after four days of looting and arson. It brought to 4,000 the number of troops in the city. A fresh outbreak of fire--bombing, looting and vandalism Monday was curbed when hundreds of guardsmen were rushed into the affected area. Heavy police patrols, federal and Illinois National Guard troops and a strict dusk-to-d a curfew for minors helped maintain a second day of relative calm in Chicago Monday.

Nearly 12,000 federal troops continued to patrol in Washington with another 2,000 in reserve in the suburbs. Most schools and business-ses in the city closed today for King's funeral. Mayor Walter E. Washington urged all capital residents to join in prayers "for peace and tranquility in our city."

Fires and looting diminished but an outbreak of sniping added new worry.

Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes sent some 1,800 guardsmen to Cincinnati and Youngstown as the two cities were added to the growing list of areas hit by racial turmoil. In Cincinnati a white college teacher was dragged from his car and stabbed to death Monday night at the height of rioting in several Negro sections of the city. The death brought to 28 the number of known dead in five days of rioting in dozens of cities.

All but four of the dead were Negroes. More than have been injured and more than 10,000 arrested. The death toll included 11 in Chicago, 6 in Washington, 5 in Baltimore, 2 in the Detroit area and one each in Cincinnati, Minneapolis. Memphis and Tallahassee, Fla. Relative calm existed today In Chicago, Pittsburgh and Washington with heavy troop patrols enforcing the uneasy peace.

Arrests for curfew violations soared in the nation's capital. The nationwide deployment of 61,000 troops was apparently the largest such force ever turned out for a civil emergency in the United States. Baltimore police said they had confirmed five separate sniping incidents Monday night at locations around the heart of the city. No one was hit. It was the first outbreak since the start of burning and looting Sunday.

The additional troops raised to 10.000 the military force occupying the city and Lt. Gen. Robert H. York ordered rigid enforcement of a 4 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Authorities contended the peak had been reached in the violence with Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro saying, "We're over the hump. I'm encouraged." A state of emergency remained in effect in Wilmington, today after a night of sniping, firebombing and looting in a Negro neighborhood. Twelve persons were injured, one seriously.

City police controlled the situation but there were 50 stale policemen and 1,200 National Guardsmen standing by to aid them if needed.

Consumers said that nearly 500 persons in ths Pine Lake area lost service for approximately 30 minutes because of a blown fuse which resulted from downed wires which shorted.

Other loss of service was reported in Monroe County and the communities of Milan and LaSalle. Downtown city street corners were a picture of futilitv as women wistfully thought of yesterday's new hairdo and men chased hats. Even birds eventually retreated to protective ledges since flying "upwind" was rather useless. Many of those who ventured into the downtown area were often forced to turn their backs to the stinging bits of dirt and debris driven between and along the corridors of buildings on Michigan and Capital avenues and McCamly St. Area police departments reported numerous minor incidents of property damage.

Plate glass windows, valued at $300, were shattered by wind at Jacobson's, 65 W. Michigan Ave. There were no injuries to noonday strollers, although city firemen risked danger as gusts buffeted continuously during cleanup operations. Three 8 by 8 foot windows were reportedly blown-out at Brenner's Market, 493 W. Michigan Ave.

Monday's natural phenomenon however may have been a cover for several incidents which city police are still investigating. Destruction of undetermined cause broke windows at K-mart, 200 S.W. Capital where a 12 by 8 foot display window was shattered, and at Central Tool Supply, 223 E. Michigan where police reported a large front window was destroyed.

In Washington, officials indicated some meeting place other than Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, would be preferred because the United States has no embassy there and would not have adequate communications facilities. Cambodia broke off diplomatic relations with the United States in 1965. Quoting Foreign Minister Nguyen Duy Trinh the broadcast said that "a representative with ambassador rank of the government of the Republic of Vietnam is ready to make contact with a representative of the U.S.

Romney had asked for the minute of reflection, and had requested all churches in Michigan to sound their bells and chimes for those 60 seconds in honor of the leader of the nonviolent civil rights movement. An estimated 50 Negro students today took control of the University of Michigan Administration Building in Ann Arbor and circulated a list of demands, including appointment of Negroes to some U.

of M. positions. At Benton Harbor, where two snipings were reported, one of four firebombs hurled during the night landed on the eaves of the home of Mayor Wilbert Smith.

Eight-year-old Karl Cotton, a Negro, suffered a bullet wound in the groin in one of the reported snipings in the Benton Harbor area, where about 35 per cent of the residents are Negro. He was believed shot with a .22 caliber weapon, in the Negro section of town. He was reported in good condition today at a hospital. A car occupied by three white women was the target of a shot about two blocks from where the boy was wounded. None of the women was injured.

At Niles, an estimated 125 Negroes, marching arm-inarm down the main street, smashed windows. City police called for reinforcements of State Police and Berrien County sheriff's men and quelled the outbreak. Six persons were arrested. A young white man, unidentified, was dragged from his car and beaten during the disturbances at Niles, whose population of 15,000 includes about 1,200 Negroes. Police said a large number of youths were out Monday night because of a weekly roller skating affair.

The Detroit area passed through another calm night under a curfew and state of umergency provisions en-forced by 3,000 National Guardsmen, 4,200 city police and 400 State Police. A 16-year-old Negro, Gregory Griffin, was shot and wounded by Detroit police Monday night. Officers said the youth ignored orders to halt after fleeing the scene of a burglarized dry cleaning store. Griffin was reported in satisfactory condition today at a hospital. The incident occurred before the 8 p.m.

and Mrs. Romney, were Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh of Detroit; United Auto Workers President Waller P. Reuthcr; the Most Rev. John F.

Dearden, Archbishop of Detroit; and others. An outcry was sparked in Ann Arbor by the sending of one delegation to Dr. King's funeral. Dr. Albert Wheeler, president of the Michigan branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, told the Ann Arbor Council that the City's Negroes were "insulted and angered that politicians are prepared to desecrate Dr.

Martin Luther King's life and especially his death with racist politics." Wheeler said he was referring to Mayor Wendell Hulcher, who is white, going to the funeral today and taking Continued from Page 1 a resolution supporting the mayor and asking him to reconsider his decision. "The decision of Mayor Preston J. Kool not to seek another term as mayor of Battle Creek comes at a lime when the city can least afford to lose his dynamic leadership," said Milton J. Robinson, executive director of the local Urban League today. In a statement to the Enquirer and News, Robinson added: "It is my opinion that he has constantly continued to take positive action in the area of inter-group relations, despite pockets of resistance.

"The way to relieve our ra-c 1 a 1 problems assuming that we really want to alleviate them is through hard work on the part of every citizen both white and black. "First we must admit that there is a problem and then try to understand the nature of it. Then we must try to derive reasonable solutions that are acceptable to the community, and finally we must implement these solutions faithfully and fairly. "The essential ingredient to successful implement a plan of this nature is leadership the type and caliber of leadership as displayed by the mayor "For the many Battle Creek citizens who say, 'It can't happen here, let me reply that it almost did. "But thanks to the ability of the city commissioners under the leadership of Mayor Kool to communicate candidly and understand the frustrations of the citizens involved, our community is still without a major incident "With regard to the decision of Mayor Kool to decline another term as mayor, I personally wish he would reconsider.

"I also feel compelled to remind the mayor that if lie is to assume a significant share of public leadership a forthright stand on unpopular issues may frequently be necessary- "The price of leadership is controversy and insistent concern. "The challenge to an elected official and indeed to all of us is to stand up boldly even on unpopular decisions and confront problems with commitment and intelligent responses. We must. At stake may be the future of our cities." County Clerk Marcus J. Gray, a Negro leader in Battle Creek, issued an open letter today to the City Commission and citizens of the city urging the retention of Mayor Kool in the mayor's office.

"Having had both the opportunity and pleasure of working with Preston Kool and elected officials, I recognize the ex-c 1 1 energetic and intelligent service that Mayor Kool has rendered the city of Battle Creek during his incumbency," Gray wrote. "I feel that the tranquillity which this city has enjoyed in the past year has been largely due to his earnest efforts and untiring devotion, along with his great ability to help people to solve their problems, in cooperation with the people themselves. "His examples of courage on some of Battle Creek most crucial issues will ever serve as a constant source of inspiration to all of us interested in good government. "I personally feel," added Gray, "that the loss of Mayor Kool's unstinting leadership in local government, his demonstrated imagination and empathy, would leave us a kind of void that we cannot afford. Nor can we in Battle Creek afford to lose his proven ability of leadership.

"I would urge this honorable City Commission and the citizens of Battle Creek to do everything within the realm of possibility to retain Preston Kool as mayor." Battle Creek Rotary Club members gave a long standing ovation as they unanimously approved a resolution Monday calling on Mayor Preston J. Kool to reconsider his decision not to accept re-election as mayor tonight. Earlier in the club meeting at the Hart Hotel, Mayor Kool had said, "Events of the last few days have made it impossible for me to serve the city of Battle Creek as mayor after this term, which ends tomorrow night." Minutes later, Rotary president Russell Hastings Jr. presented the Rotary Merit Award to Kool and introduced the resolution, which had been drafted by Dr. Richard F.

Whitmore, club member and director of Kellogg Community College, in concert with Philip II. Ordway. The resolution read: "Whereas, this city has profited greatly by the leadership of the present City Commission under the direction and guidance of Mayor Preston J. Kool; "Whereas, the severity of events of the past few days have been greatly minimized because of the extensive groundwork of communications with all facets of our community developed by May--or Kool and the City Commission in the past, and, "Whereas, this Rotary Club has extreme faith in Mayor Kool's leadership, "Therefore, be it resolved that this club unanimously support Mayor Kool and the Commission and request Preston Kool to weigh all facts carefully and provide us with continuation of his constructive leadership." Earlier, in his informal address to the club, Mayor Kool had recounted events here following last Thursday night's murder of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

He told of city officials' jwetings with young Negro demonstrators downtown early Friday morning and with Negro representatives Friday and Saturday evenings. At one point he commented, "The kids who demonstrated Thursday night are not the ones we have to worry about. Others moved in and took over leadership The mayor said he and the city commissioners were concerned about "the 14 and 15 year old kids who are being whipped up by black racists to do things they would not think of doing themselves." In closing he said, "I hope parents and leaders will join us in helping to control situations such as we have had. What we need is for the Negro leaders of this town to stand with us, shoulder to shoulder, and be willing to take these kinds in hand." School Rules Continued from Page 1 schools jail offenses. Commenting that "students in the two buildings have lived and worked together very cooperatively over the years" and that "it is imperative that conditions get back to normal at once," board members added a message to adults.

Parents are urged, they said, to talk this situation over with their children before sending them to school Wednesday. with racist politics as usual." Wheeler said he was referring to action by Mayor Wendell Hulcher in going to Atlanta funeral of the murdered civil rights leader and taking the president of the local NAACP youth council with him. Hulcher had not sought the advice of other Negro groups before leaving for Atlanta with the youth, Wheeler said. Quake Rocks Western Area PASADENA, Calif. (UPI) An earthquake centered near the California-Mexico border rocked southern California and parts of Nevada and Arizona Monday night.

The shocks frightened hundreds of thousands of residents and created a rolling sensation in many areas. Humphrey Reported Set to Run WASHINGTON Vice President Humphrey has made a firm decision to seek the Democratic nomination for president, a close associate said Monday.

The nucleus of a campaign organization is already operating and is being expanded, informed sources said, and an official Humphrey campaign committee is expected to be announced soon. The delay in the vice president's formal entry "is not due to ambivalence, because there is none," a Humphrey source said. The formal announcement is a matter of timing, he explained, in view of the overriding public concern with a Vietnam solution and the unrest that followed the slaying of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Psychopath Law Repeal Sought LANSING (AP) Michigan's criminal sexual psychopath law, written 29 years ago as an aid in prosecuting sex offenders but now described as a hindrance, would be repealed under a bill approved by the House Monday. The House voted 79-7 to strike the CSP law from the books, and sent the question to the Senate. The 1939 CSP Act provides that a person accused or convicted of a crime is sent to a mental institution, rather than a prison, if he is "suffering from a mental disorder coupled with criminal propensities to the commission of sex offenses." Use of the law makes it impossible to later prosecute the person on the criminal charge. Phone Strike Deadline Delayed WASHINGTON (AP) The 200,000 telephone workers in the AFL-CIO Communications Workers Union have postponed their strike deadline a week to April 18 because of weekend rioting in several cities. The strike deadline originally was next Friday.

Union President Joseph A. Beirne called on the Belle Telephone System to reach a contract agreement before Ihe new date. Rocky Draft Is Considered WASHINGTON (AP) A group of Republican backers is reported considering creation of a national committee to draft New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller for the GOP presidential nomination.

"What is being done is being done with the knowledge and consent of the governor," Republican sources said Monday. They said Sens. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky and Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania along with other Rockefeller supporters in Washington and New York have been considering the move but have reached no decision yet. Bay City Manager Suspended BAY CITY (UPI) Casimir Jablonski, the city manager here, was suspended by the city commission Monday night.

The formal charges against Jablonski were not released. But under the city charter he can ask for a hearing to be held within one month at which time he can answer the charges. Jablonski has asked for the hearing, but no date has yet been set. Farm Workers Plan March LANSING (UPI) Michigan farm workers plan to gather on the Capitol steps here Easter Sunday, then march to Gov. George Romney's East Lansing home to present him with a list of their grievances.

The Latin American community, which contains many migratory farm workers, and representatives of labor, civil rights and religious groups will join the workers, they said. If the governor refuses to meet with them, the workers said they would return to the Capitol steps, and maintain a vigil there until the Legislature reconvenes April 22. 449 17,000 BTU Unit EiSizriLls INCLUDES PRICE Condensing Unit Evaporator 25 ft.
