He said the court system was "no good" because too many blacks served on juries. Cheers and boos from both groups filled the air as the rival speakers used bullhorns to address their crowds, threatening at times to drown each other out.

There were conflicting reports of the number of persons killed and injured and how the clash began. A spokesman for U.N. headquarters in Jerusalem said two Arab villagers and a Fijian U.N. soldier were reported killed when Israeli-backed militia forces opened fire on Irish and Fiji U.N.

troops near the village of Tiri, five miles north of the Israeli border. A U.N. peacekeeping force has been in southern Lebanon since 1978. The Christian militia control a six-mile-wide zone in Lebanon near the 59-mile-long border with Israel. The U.N.

spokesman said the militia fired first, with small arms, at the U.N. troops, and then fired three tank rounds. The Fiji soldier was hit in the head and later evacuated to a hospital in Haifa, Israel, where he died, he said. He said the U.N. troops responded with one anti-tank missile.

A U.N. spokesman in Beirut gave a similar account of how the fighting began but said one militiaman was killed and three others wounded along with the Fiji soldier. He said the casualties occurred when the U.N. forces fired an antitank missile that demolished a militia halftrack.

Three youths were injured, it said. Israeli sources said the procession was approaching the entrance to the village, where there is a U.N. checkpost, when the troops threw a smoke grenade and opened small arms fire on the demonstrators. The troops also fired rockets at a nearby militia armored vehicle, which burst into flames, they said. The sources said Israeli troops, who crossed into southern Lebanon Wednesday and are now beginning to withdraw, were not involved in the incident.

I've held it for three years and that's it." Three small Salton Sea communities Salton City, Salton Sea Beach and Desert Shores were declared local disaster areas by the Imperial County Board of Supervisors on Friday.
