Race Riols Hit 2 Cities By the Associated Press A night of sporadic fire-bombings, rock throwing and vandalism was reported, in Jacksonville, Thursday night while police in Springfield broke up roving gangs of youths without major incident. The two cities have been the targets ot racial trouble in recent nights. In Jacksonville early today, authorities lifted a curfew imposed on the downtown area Thursday night. Six persons were arrested on charges of vandalism and curfew violations during the second night of unrest following a Wednesday morning shootout in which a black youth was killed and a po liceman wounded, officers said.

In Springfield, groups of white and Puerto Rican youths armed with rocks and clubs roamed the streets of racially troubled areas, but police dispersed them without incident. bi i In her wake she left flooding caused by nine inches of rain aid tides five feet above along a 70-mile stretch of shoreline. Downgraded to a tropical storm shortly before midnight but still packing 45 to 50 m.p.h. winds, Ginger moved to the south a few miles early today and then slipped off on a northwesterly course. She was about 60 miles southeast of Raleigh aiming for the Appalachian Moun- tains of northern Virginia.

She was expected to dump up to five more inches of rain. Damage on the coast from Washington, N.C. to the beaches near Morehead City, was widespread. One death possibly caused by the storm was reported. A spokesman for the Insur-.

That included smashed windows, fallen utility lines, fallen trees, overturned mobile homes and other property destruction. Late-night flood damage was not included. The storm roared in from the Atlantic and hit near Morehead City at midday Thursday, then settled in the area during the night. The small town of Bellhaven was isolated by rising waters of the Pungo River.

Streets were covered by water two to three feet deep. Other communities with water in streets, trees down, power interrupted and activities at a standstill were Bath, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Swan Quarter. Red Cross shelters were set up in six coastal counties and by late Thursday night were occupied by 1,931 persons. Two National Guard trucks were sent to Bath and Belha-ven during the night to rescue persons stranded by flooding.

ace Bobby Fischer won the first game of his semifinal chess tournament with Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union Thursday night, scoring the victory in 40 moves. Judge Aubrey E.

Schick continued, "My wife, Catherin, and my two sons John and Timothy and my twin daughters, Doris and Deborah1; were all looking forward to my retirement and was rough on all of us when I had to tell them it was all off," he said.

He conceded that keeping up with school tuition and related bills was a big factor in his decision. "By coincidence, my 18-year-old twin daughters started their freshman year at Wayne State University today and my second son Timothy, is working on his master's degree at Ohio University, so the costs of education are fresh in my mind," he said. He expressed some bitterness that "both Uncle. Sam and the union" would have dipped into the $500-a-month retirement pay he could have drawn. "It would seem to me that since a person paid taxes all his life and also paid union dues and assessments during the time he should get a tax break and a dues break, but it doesn't work out that way," Schick said.

He also questioned Social Security limits-on how much he could earn to supplement his retirement pay. "I started putting money into Social Security in 1938 and never got a nickel out of it yet, so why should they tell me how much I can earn on the side?" he asked.
