Busloads of inductees were delayed slightly more than an hour, then at 10:15 were unloaded without incident at the Oakland Induction Center after some 1,200 police cordoned off the area. The demonstrators, swept from the immediate area of the center at around 6:30 a.m., roamed the downtown in packs of up to 1,000, overturning cars, erecting barricades and heaping rubble andglass in the streets. Their object, apparently, was to halt all traffic including buses bearing inductees.

Police response was firm and methodical. City Manager Jerome Keithley called in reinforcements from other communities. The draft protesters converged upon Oakland from throughout Northern California. Police moved at half-step along the streets branching out from the center at 15th and Clay, moving the demonstrators before them. For most of the morning the crowd yielded without putting up a fight but in a few instances there was physical contact.

Ten persons were treated for injuries at local hospitals, including a report-. 4 a MM civ 1 on UY', I "4 Paratroops on Guarding Pentad TrffcuM photo by Ktith Denniton Confrontation on Clay Street Then police moved and the scattered demonstrators spread chaos through downtown area Few U.C.

Finch told newsmen at Davis that regarding- campus rallies in general "the right to dissent, the right to express a different viewpoint, must be protected at all costs." The issue is the use of university facilities to sponsor off-campus- illegal activities, such as violations of the Universal Military training and Service Act. A hearing on the injunction is scheduled Wednesday before Superior Judge Lewis E. Lercara. On Wednesday night U. C.

Administrative Dean Jan Blals had asked 12 student groups to sign statements declaring" they would not advocate off-campus violations of the draft at rallies on U. C. premises. Only one organization, the conservative Volition group, signed.

Before each of the rallies, university officials warned the crowds that the meetings were in violation of a tempo- fied School District the first 1 part of the week. Several groups including the Oakland Principals Association and the Oakland Federation of Teachers have come out in opposition to the proposal. The OEA proposed the closing of the schools Nov. 9 to dramatize the problems fac-jtog the district. Arnold Erickson, executive director of.

the OEA, said a chief factor in the defeat of the proposal was the pressure exerted administrators, and lack of support from other teacher organizations.

The measure would allow a woman to wear stars while serving in a top-level position that warranted it, although the Pentagon advised no promotions are contemplated at present. Permanent appointment would be limited to colonel or navy captain, and a woman would revert to that rank when she left the top-level post.

The provisions are part of a House-approved measure removing various restrictions on the careers of women officers in military service. The ceiling on permanent appointments is now set at lieutenant colonel or navy commander. Oakland teachers have voted down a proposal to the schools Thursday, Nov. 9, for a Community Information Day.
