The Senate session was punctuated by attacks on American advisers. The speakers did not refer to them directly as Americans but the term "foreign advisers." however, since the Americans are only ones with military mis- and advisers here, it was plain whom they meant. Dr.

Quiet finally restored shortly alter midnight and the prisoners bunked down as best they could, many in the prison yard. The demonstration was almost an exact duplicate of the two separate days of rioting thnt erupted In (he prison curly in May. Injuries in those riots, however, were comparatively mtnir. After the May disturbances an official investigation was promised by the Quebec provincial government, but no results have been announced. One prisoner was heard to shout last night "we could pick the steel wool out of the corn we had tonight for supper." There wns no immediate statement from the jnll governor, Dr.

Zenon Lesnge, or other prison authorities. Jail sources said, however, that the trouble began when 'one er pretended to be stricken ill In his cell.

A.

Berlin Alerts Riot Squad Against Red Youth Invasion BERLIN Wl Tension mounted in divided Berlin today as West Berlin police alerted riot squads to combat a threatened invasion of Western sectors tomorrow by thousands ot demonstrating Communists youth. The planned invasion to demonstrate 1 "for peace" was announced by the Communist press in the wake of last night's demand by Russia that the Big Three Powers lift restrictions, on trade between the East-West of Germany.

The Soviets charged the trade bars violated the 1D48 agreement ending the Red blockade of Berlin. i Western Allied officials In Ger! many will meet in Bonn next week to consider a reply to live Soviet charge. They declined comment until expert.s have studied the demands made by n. Vassily Chuikov, Soviet Control Commission chairman. Although the air of the Russian move was not immediately apparent, observers considered it significant in view of the tension in this re-cnclrclcd city.

It could foreshadow another blockade if the Soviets are looking 1 for an excuse for such a maneuver. Shortly after the Soviet licensed news agency AON reported the protest. West German officials announced that East and West Ger- WonHnwd from Psgt 1) tloned as a probable contender for McCtellan's Senate seat In 19S4. "MIH" Hit Waving his coatless arms In nghT- Ing gestures, the governor told a crowd estimated by Glenwood Mayor Ervis Lively at 2,000 and a statewide radio audience that Cherry a hypocrite who was granting "fraudulent divorces on the testimony of professional witnesses." He said he had made a spot check of 38 divorces In Cherry's Chancery Court In East Arkansas, adding; "One attorney handled 25 of these cases and used the very same witnesses In nine of them. Two other witnesses were used In 13 cases.

It looks like It would soak Into cherry's head that fraud was being perpetrated In his court. "There have been thousands ot other cases like this in his court breaking up very cornerstone of leaving wives and children without adequate support. "Francis has bragged that the lawyers of his district are behind him. These are the shysters who are benefiting from the divorce racket. "Francis Cherry is a good man He is an honorable man, champion of the weak, defender of defenseless women and children.

All this must be true because he has told us all about it on his talkathon over and over and over. "Mask Is Hypocritical" "You can't fool the Arkansas people, nnd one of the first things they can see through Is a mask- that hides hypocritical face." McMath last night also made his first reference to the action of Jack Holt and Ike Murry in throwing their support to Cherry after they were eliminated from the race in the preferential primary. Said the governor: "I'm sure they went to the political bed with Francis because they love him so well." Rep. Boyd Tackett also was defeated last Tuesday and also voiced support of Cherry, but McMath did not criticize the Congressman. Glenwood is Tackctt's birthplace.

The governor put In a strong bid for Tnckett's Southwest Arkansas vote by shouting, "Although we were opponents and have political differences, didn't like it a bit when John McClellan pulled the rug out To 4 Gunmen HEADS AEC Carl T.
