By BERNARD GAVZER ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP)-An exhausted fireman felled by heavy smoke was wheeled from a flaming house in Rochester's riot-wrecked Negro section.

"He should have got burned up long ago," a Negro boy said. in the brilliant sunshine of a Sunday afternoon the boy and hundreds of other Negroes had watched a gruesome drama. Hit House, Crashed A helicopter being used to spot potential riot activity had hit the peaked gable of the frame house, fallen to the sideV walk, exploded and burned. The while pilot was killed. Two persons in the house, presumably Negroes, burned to death, For some in the crowd, the spectacle was sickening and sobering.

They were mainly older people. A minister, a chef, a mechanic. But the young fel-' lows, the lean and well-muscled teen-agers and'men in their early 20s, shed no tears. Their attitude Ihroughout riot- tag that began Friday night has been one of militant recklessness. There is a bravado to them-and the.

"There's a don't care about these boys," said Ernest Denny, a Negro social worker.

"They're saying to the while society, 'You're going to kill me psychologically if I live, so why nol kill me with "The thing is that they are nol afraid. These are brave boys." "They have lost respect for authority," said LI. Andrew Head of the Rochester Police Department's youth division. Boys and young men from the major Negro areas in town voiced bitter resentment of whites, especially of the police, and talked wilh a belligerent straightforwardness. "Man, there ain'l no cat going la frighten me," said a youlh of 19.

"They kicked that out of me when they kicked hell out of me one lime when they busted a crap game. They grabbed the dough and then used the clubs." "Old People Get Scared" A boy of 14 who wore a wrist wound proudly, said: "We are just different. My mama and pa, if it was up to them, would of locked me in Ihe house last night. They scared. But they old and old peoples get siared.

I out and 1 stayed out. 1 didn't make it back home to may 4 o'clock in the morning. But nobody going lo tell me what to do." A young man of 20 bristled over the 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew imposed upon the city.

"The man comes on TV and he say all you people got to go to bed at 8 o'clock and not stick your nose oula the house. Hell, that just make the people be on street. You think we afraid to go out? Man, we was out." Loss of Faith Lloyd Hurst, 8 Negro who Is commissioner of Rochester's office of the Slate Commission for Human Relations, said, "The. young element--the new Negro --is in Rochester as well as Harlem and elsewhere in the United States. They have lost faith in the ordinary forms of settlement of grievances." Reginald Kenneth Ingram, the Negro chief of the Air Force's Equal Employment Opportunity Office, said, "If I were to try (o say lo these boys that 'they should act with caution or even try to advise them in any way, I'm certain that I would be booed." The boys showed how witling they were to flex muscles Friday night at the slreet dance when patrolmen Roger Bacon MARGO M.

It was this incident that started the.riot. Sparacino, Hie youth division expert, knows by sight most of Ihe city's juvenile delinquents and other young offenders. "But to tell you the truth," he said, "these are kit's I've never seen before. Tliey're not usual juvenile delinquents. I don't know where they come from.

I know one we got is in a good high school and another is an athlete in high school." "It's the system they are fighting, baby," explains Denny. "The boys feel the system is against them, and it is." It was difficult for some of the Negro boys to articulate their feelings, but one, a rather thin boy who looked like he could be a chorus dancer, said: "It's like you're standing and across the way Ihere is that store and the cats is saying, 'Let's go eat on or 'Whitey, he going to give me a birthday suit, We laughing and pushing and talking big.

(AP)-Twelve- year-old Peter Grothe of Globe has a cold, and was on strict orders from Mom to stay out of the water over the weekend. However, while playing along the banks of Final Creek Sunday, he saw 5-year-old Beth Golden being swept downstream. She had been wading in the creek near her home and was carried out of the shallow water into the swift current.

Peter jumped in Ihe w.ater, grabbed the girl and held light as they were swept another 150- feet downstream. Then be helped the girl scramble ashore. "Boy, I'll get it when I get home," said the boy to a sheriff's deputy. "I've got a cold and wasn't supposed to get wet." Father of Nine Killed in Uranium Poisoning Accident PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)-A 38-year-old father of nine was dead and two other men were back in Rhode Island Hospital today as an investigation continued into an accident Friday night at a uranium recovery plant in Charleslown.

Robert Peabody of Charlestown, a technician at the plant, died Sunday night of uranium poisoning. Death came 48 hours after Peabody was exposed lo a large dose of atomic radiation while he was pouring a solution containing enriched Uranium- 235 from one container to another at the plant of United Nuclear Corp. Returned fo Hospital Earlier in the day, two of the five men who had been given hospilal treatment immediately after the accident and then released were returned to the hospital in what was.described as a precautionary measure. Officials said Richard Holthaus, 43, of Narragansett, the plant superintendent, and Clifford Smith, 30, of Westerly, an employe, had received doses of radiation than had been believed earlier. A spokesman for the company said the two were hospitalized to prevent the possibility of infection developing because of the radiation's effect on their bodies' ability to fight off normal ailments.

The accident, described as a fission of the enriched uranium, occurred when Peabody was alone in a third floor room at the plant. The others were exposed to the radiation when they went to bis aid. Radiation Confined The company said the radiation was confined to 25- square-foot room. Plant operations have been shut down for a thorough decontamination of the area. Robert C.

Johnson, a spokes- man for United Nuclear, said the investigation of the accident by the company and the Atomic Energy Commission was not completed. But, he said, human error apparently was the cause. The plant, which began operations in March, reclaims uranium from waste products such as rags, metal scrap, liquids, paper and clothing for sale and reuse in nuclear projects. Charge Filed A drunkenness charge against a 60-year-old North Adams man was filed in District Court today.

Social Security Increase Sought WASHINGTON (AP)-A bill to increase Social Security benefits and raise the lax used to support them would improve the long range financial status of the program, the House Ways and Means Committee reports. The legislation, which comes up for House consideration Wednesday, would provide an across the board increase in benefits of 5 per cent, liberalize eligibility provisions for 600,000 elderly persons and continue child's survivors benefits to age 22, instead of cutting them off at 18. It would also let widows start receiving benefits at age 60 instead of 62, and extend coverage to.

self-employed physicians and interns. The liill also provides a rate increase which would up the Sc-; cial Security tax from the present 3 5-8 per cent each on employers and employes to 3.8 per cent on Jan. 1 with peak of 4.8 per cent after Jan. 1, 1971. The amount of earnings subject to the tax would be raised from to $5,400.

"The net effect of the bill is to improve the actuarial soundness of the program," the committee said. As of May 31, the two Social Security trust funds had assets of more lhan $22 billion. Though receipts to each fund were less than -expenditures from each during the year ended June 30, 1963, it was estimated that by June 30, 1968 the old age trust fund would increase lo $25.2 billion and the disability trust fund would decease to $1.2 billion, indicating the need for the reallocalion proposed in the bill. The committee said that, under its bill, it was estimated that after 1965 and (or the next 20 years income for the old age fund would exceed disbursements and with the aid of interest the balance would exceed $120 billion by the end of this century. mijor In English, likes the small classes of the summer semester.
