Violence continued Friday with clashes involving Africans, Rosarno residents and police. Among the more seriously wounded were three migrants beaten with metal rods. By Saturday, the violence had largely subsided, except for a pellet-gun shooting that wounded a migrant on the outskirts of town, police said, and authorities began busing out some of the hundreds of frightened and angry migrants. Others, lugging shabby suitcases or tossing duffel bags over shoulders, headed for train stations or left in cars if they could arrange rides, said Laura Boldrini, an official from the U.N.

High Commissioner for Refugees in Italy. "Even if they haven't collected their pay, they prefer to lose the money. That gives the measure of their fear," Boldrini said in a telephone interview from Rosarno. Perhaps half the 1,000 or so migrants from Ghana, Nigeria and other African nations chose to stay for how, many sleeping in tents or cardboard "rooms" in a dilapidated, abandoned former cheese factory on the outskirts of town. Some have work permits, many are clandestine workers and others have refugee status, said Boldrini.

Just over a year ago, two migrants were shot in Rosarno, one losing his spleen, Boldrini said. Then, the migrants reacted with a "peaceful march." This time "the immigrants reacted with violence, and this in turn triggered a spiral of violence," the U.N. official said. Many of the migrants in Rosarno came from Italy's north after factory jobs dried up last year because of the economic crisis, Boldrini said. That increased the migrants' pool of labor for back-breaking dawn-to-dusk crop picking paying about a day.

Although unemployment runs some 20 percent in the south and at least double that among youth few locals are willing to work so hard for so little: The kiwi, mandarin oranges and other citrus fruits are harvested by the migrants.

That led to his making shorts featuring Gumby and his horse friend Pokey for the "Howdy Doody Show" and several series through the years. He said he based Gumby swooping head on the cowlick hairdo of his father, who died in a car accident when Clokey was a boy. And Clokey's wife suggested he give Gumby the body of a gingerbread man. Clokey said that though Gumby eventually became one of the most familiar toys of all time, he was at first resistant to roll out the bendable doll. "I didn't allow merchandising for.
