Bernard J. McCormick, superintendent of schools, said Thursday night classes will be held and promised parents that "ample security" will be provided, with the aid of police. McCormick's announcement came after the schools' teachers advised parents they would not conduct classes but instead meet to seek ways to end the violence.

AFTER SIX WEEKS: LED FIGHT AGAINST FORTAS NOMINATION WASHINGTON UP Robert P.

Griffin, the man who sparked the fight that blocked confirmation of Abe Fortas as chief justice, is a back row senator who bucked President Johnson, leaders of his own party and the nation's legal establishment. Not that the 44 year old Michigan Republican, first elected to the Senate two years ago, claims a single handed victory in forcing Johnson's withdrawal of the nomination Wednesday at Fortas' request. Griffin readily acknowledges that the help of GOP colleagues as well as support from Southern Democrats was essential to bringing about the defeat of a nominee for chief justice for the first time since 1795. Nonetheless, it was the unim posing, soft spoken senator who spearheaded the drive who turned up much of the ammunition for the opposition. An example: Griffin got "a blind call" tipping him to the fact that Fortas was paid $15, 000 for lecturing at a summer law school seminar out of $30, 000 in donations solicited by a former law partner, Paul A.

Porter, from five men with far flung business and financial interests. This was said by many senators to have seriously damaged the appointment's chance. What first started Griffin off was a newspaper item last June 14 saying that Chief Justice Earl Warren may quit before President Johnson's term runs out. Reason: He hopes to have a voice in selection of his successor." Griffin says his reaction, as a lawyer, was that "That's none of Warren's business." A week later, before Warren's Intention to retire was officially known and before Fortas' nomination was submitted, Griffin made a brief Senate speech saying that "I shall not vote to confirm an appointment of the next chief justice by a lame duck President." In an interview in his office after the withdrawal, Griffin said that at the time "I didn't think of winning or losing. I just decided that on the basis of the apparent political motives involved, I wasn't going to vote for any nominee."

CONTROVERSY ERUPTS AFTER.IWICE PICK DF GEREHIL LEMAY By THE ASSOCLVTED PRESS George C. Wallace's selection of Gen. Curtis E. LeMay as his running mate has drawn fresh attacks on his third party campaign, particularly over the use of nuclear weapons.

LeMay, 61, former Air Force chief of staff, told his first news conference as a vice presidential candidate Thursday that "a nuclear weapon is just another weapon in the arsenal." LeMay said he thinks there are situations where it "would be most efficient to use nuclear weapons." "I don't think it would be necessary in Vietnam." Republican Richard M. Nixon, campaigning in Atlanta, said "I have great respect for Mr. LeMay as an Air Force general. But this kind of reaction shows why it is so important that in the White House, you have a man who recognizes we must have civilian control. The military solutions are often not the right ones." Democrat Hubert H.

Humphrey, campaigning in West Virginia, said: "It would be disastrous if anyone who spoke as Gen. LeMay did this morning should come into a position cf high responsibility. "I never want to see nuclear weapons used anywhere, by anyone in Vietnam or elsewhere." 4 Humphrey's running mate, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie declined comment on Wallace's selection of LeMay, but added: "I doubt that he's is going to dilute what Wallace means to me.

(Wallace) means to me a politics of fear and division." Gov. Spiro T. Agnew, the Republican vice presidential candi "nte, told Missouri voters: iTour vote is too valuable to waste" on a third party. "Third parties can confuse, but they cannot govern," said Agnew. But Wallace reaffirmed his support for LeMay after the news conference.

"Gen. LeMay has told me privately that he is against all war," said Wallace. "But when you ask a man whether he can think of any situation where you would use nuclear weapons, that's different. Why, what if somebody attacked us with nuclear weapons? Would you use them then?" Ballot Problems LeMay's selection came too late to get the retired general on the ballot in most states in place former Georgia Gov. Marvin Griffin, who was entered to satisfy legal requirements.

But only in Florida and Tennessee do the states' election law give any appearance of binding electors to the listed Vice presidential candidate. Humphrey had some ballot trouble in Louisiana, where residents voting the straight Democratic ticket have looked for generations for the sign of the rooster beside candidates" names. The Louisiana State Supreme Court ruled to 1, on petition from a Wallace supporter, that neither can use the rooster symbol. Wallace's electors will use the eagle. Humphrey's a mule.

The candidates hit on other issues than those raised by LeMay and Wallace, however. Nixon said some justices sitting on the Supreme Court couM fill his qualifications for a chief justice "men who will inter pret the Constitution strictly and fairly and objectively." Nixon named no one specifically, but said such a man would most likely be among the justices who voted against recent rulings extending the rl.jhts of criminal defendants. These Justices are John Harlan, Pot Stewart and Byron White. Humphrey characterized Republicans as the party of "recession, depression and unemployment." "We're not goin to turn this country back to an administration that doesn't care," said Humphrey. Agnew said Democratic poverty program consist of "simply handing money out lo lence the most militant voices in the ghetto." Nixon said the nation needs to pend more money for air transport, because "years of neglect at the highest level of government hnvt prndue ej a trim in air transportation."

Before the outbreak was quelled by police, the cafeteria" was in shambles, nine persons were injured and three students arrested. Classes in the 1,000 student school, which is about 35 per cent black, were dismissed after the outbreak and an afternoon football game with Peabody High School was cancelled.

The outbreak triggered different responses from the leaders of the city's two rival teacher organizations the Pittsburgh Teachers' Education Association and the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers. "It is evident," a PTEA spokesman charged, "that there has not been adequate provision for protection of life and property in many Pittsburgh schools." Albert Fondy, president of the federation, disagreed. "I have met with Mr. McCormick and other administrative personnel," he said, "and I am satisfied that they are working in a direction that will lead to a solution at Oliver." Fondy urged teachers to report to their classrooms this morning. Authorities were still uncertain how the melee started, but several teachers told reporters they had heard early in the morning that "there would be trouble at noon." Police Supt.

James W. Slusser said there was some evidence that the incident might have been preplanned, but he added police were not certain. "The fighting today (Thursday)," Slusser said, "was the result of tension that has been going on since the beginning of the school year." He discounted reports that the fighting had a connection with the appearance of George Wallace in Pittsburgh. "One white boy came to school with a Wallace sweet shirt," he said, "but he wdj sent home to change. Students both black and white wore various shirts.

The Wallace visit wasn't part of the trouble." Slusser said a driving rain aided police In quelling the disturbance in about an hour. toy 16 rifle and tells newsmen he is a "guerrilla of the future."

Macabre Holiday in Mexico A Day After Bloody Rioting By WILL GRINSLty Associated Press Writer MEXICO CITY OP) It was a macabre holiday for many Mexicans. They licked ice cream cones, nibbled tacos and walked the bloody, bullet pocked streets of Tlatelolco where 25 died and hundreds were injured in fighting Wednesday night between rebellious students and government troops. "Que es eso, mama?" "what is that, asked a little girl, pointing to a snub nosed tear gas gun of a granadero.

Three teen aged boys, dirty and disheveled, sat on the curb stone, smoking cigarettes and lingering a spent rifle shell.

Narcotic Arrests Near Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) Six young men and three girls, ranging in age from 16 to 19, were arrested on drug charges Thursday when police swooped down on a motel near the Greater Pittsburgh Airport.

An amphibious armored car makes its way through civilian road traffic, carefully observing a yield sign. Here and there a truck full of Soviet soldiers turns off a side road. These are the visible signs of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. Only the country's top leaders know what is going on behind the scenes. The public suspects the worst.

There is little hope for what lies ahead. Little by little the Czechoslovak Communist party's attempts to make communism humane seems doomed. There are recurring rumois that the Soviets want the top liberal Communists out, including party chief Alexander Dubcek. Only the tremendous support he and his associates received from the 14 million Czechs and Slovaks has kept them in office during the past six weeks. But time is on the Soviets' Side.

Already there are reports that ambitious second rank'ng men within the party organization are willing to follow the Soviet line in return for the top jobs. 'Counterrevolution' So far( there have been no political arrests but it seems the Kremlin' wants a show trial cf "counterrevolutionaries" i Czechoslovakia. Moscow radio, in its broadcasts to Czechoslovakia, keeps talking about the "counterrevolution." In a mw attack Wednesday, the Soviet press said K231, the club of political prisoners of Stalinist times, has gone underground. The club was one of two that the Soviet Union accused of being antl Communlst and the core of a new political opposition to the Communist partv. The other was KAN, the club cf committed nonparty members.

The Czechoslovak government banned both under the terms of the Moscow protocols, signed by Czechoslovak leaders following the Aug. 2V21 invasion. Under terms of the same agreement, nome prominent officials of the Dubck regime have already resigned.
