3A The REGISTER, Napa, Calif. Monday, July 10, 1972 Irefand On Brink Of Civil War General 3 Other Officers, Killed By North Viet Shell IRA Resumes Guerrilla Campaign The truce was shattered when a column of 2,000 Catholics marched on the Iienandoon housing project in Belfast to force resettlement there of 16 Catholic families bombed out of their homes in a Protestant area. Squads of the militant Ulster Defense Association and other Protestants blocked the marchers and two trucks loaded with the furniture of the displaced families. When troops moved in, the Cathohcs rained rocks, bottles, iron bars and gasoline Ijombs on them. Nine soldiers and half a dozen civilians were injured.

The soldiers fired rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannon at the rioters, then charged them. As the Catholics fell back, a sniper fired a single shot at the troops. Within minutes, the troops came under heavy fire from snipers hiding in the apartment houses. As the battle widened, the Provisionals announced the end of the truce. Security officials feared even bloodier religious fighting may be ahead.

BELFAST (AP) The Irish Republican Armys Provisional wing broke off its cease-fire Sunday night after 13 days and renewed its guerrilla campaign. At least six persons were killed, and Northern Ireland teetered on the brink of civil war. The Provisionals charge that British troops junked the ceasefire by attacking Roman Catholics in Belfasts I-enadoon district. William Whitelaw, the British administrator for Northern Ireland, charged that the IRA set up the incident to provide justification for resumption of terrorist activity.

He said the troops were fired on first. Witnesses backed the claim. Sean MacStiofian, chief of staff of the Provisionals, ordered his gunmen back to their bullet-and-bomb campaign with utmost ferocity to oust the British army. Within 15 minutes, firing broke out all over Belfast.

Officials were hopeful that late mail-in contributions would push the shows gross over $5 million. Viewers pledged the contributions via telephone calls to 32 regional centers manned by volunteers or charged it to credit cards.

Rubin said the book will urge young radicals to vote President Nixon out of office and elect Sen. George McGovern president.

By TERRY RYAN Associated Press Writer MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Hoffman, Rubin and Ed Sanders, who helped plan the Chicago demonstrations, are working on a book they hope will get young people out of the communes and rock concerts and back into politics.

They will share one floor pass for convention sessions. Hoffman and Rubin were convicted of crossing state lines with intent to incite rioting after the 1968 Democratic convention. Their convictions have been appealed. Sanders was not indicted. What we did four years ago was right for the times," said Rubin, but times have changed.
