In a speech prepared for the occasion, Johnson said the world's need for pure water is growing so fast "that we are in a race with disaster." If people fail to meet the challenge, he said, "I can assure you that not even America's unprecedented military might will be able to preserve the peace for long." Search for Votes It was another campaign season weekend for Johnson. He scheduled stops today in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and. on Monday, will be moving through Michigan and Ohio all the while searching for Dem ocratic votes in the November election. Johnson's words had a more partisan ring during a brief stop at Charleston Airport where he changed from the presidential plane to a helicopter for the trip to Summersville.

Police Officers Nip Budding Negro Riot (Related stories, pictures On A-ll) The long awaited opening of the new Chain of Rocks Bridge took place at 1:45 p.m. Friday with officials from Missouri and Illinois taking part in the ribbon cutting. However, there is still another year's work to be done before the bridge can officially be completed. Painting is the major part of the finishing work. As the 20-minute ceremony concluded, barricades removed and signs uncov- ed, the new structure claimed the bulk of traffic over the old Chain of Rocks Bridge, just 200 yards south.

An unofficial estimate of traffic was put at over 500 cars within the first five minutes of opening. At the ceremonies, Aloys P. Kaufmann of the St. Louis Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and master of ceremonies, said the chamber is proud to have been an instrument in getting the bridge completed. Kaufniann said the new bridge, carrying Interstate 270 over it, is an asset to the entire St.

Louis Metropolitan area, which is the second largest transportation center in the United States. He said the structure cost in excess of $8,000,000 (90 per cent from federal funds and the remainder split evenly between Missouri and Illinois), but is vital to the economic growth of towns on both sides of the river. Robert E. Kronst, Illinois district highway engineer, told the 100 persons gathered in the center of the bridge, the two-mile bridge helps make a total of 886 miles of Interstate Highways in Illinois, which is about 65 per cent of what is planned. Kronst said the state has hopes of completing the remaining 35 per cent by 1972, providing funds are available.

He said the 16 miles of Interstate 270 from the easterly portion of the new bridge will be dedicated in October with the planting of oak trees along the new high way, instead of having a ribbon cutting. James A. Kearns, a member of the Missouri State Highway Commission, said the new Chain of Rocks Bridge is the first of three new bridges to cross the Mississippi in the St. Louis area. He said with the completion of the Poplar street and Jefferson Barracks bridges (Continued Page 2, Col.

By ED POUND Telegraph Staff Writer EDWARDSVILLE A potentially explosive situation was averted late Friday night by scores of police officers who dispersed some 150 Negro youths from the front lawn of the Edwardsville YMCA after a fight broke out between two Negro ooys. Police officers from at least four law enforcement agencies in Madison County assisted Edwardsville police in dispersing the teenage crowd, which gathered outside the YMCA building at High and 4th Streets to watch the two boys fight.

The youths had been attending an all-Negro dance at the YMCA. The officers waded into the crowd and were cursed anc jeered, but were able to contra the situation without incident, Edwardsville Police Chief John Hartung said this morning. No arrests were made bu the youths were ordered to dis perse or face charges. They complied. About 31 police officers including Hartung and Madison County Sheriff Barney Fraundorf were needed to control the crowd, which could have exploded into mob violence at any time, observers at the scene told the Telegraph this morning.

Chief Hartung commended a Madison County deputy sheriff William Connors, a Negro, foi doing an "outstanding" job in moving the Negro youths out of the area. "I want to specially comment Connors for the job he did," Har. tung said this morning. "He's an outstanding deputy sheriff and I wish he was on my department. He sure knew what ie was doing." "Connors knew a lot of these fellows from Alton," Hartung said.

"As for controlling the out- of-towners, he did an oustand- ng job." Scores of police officers were called in after an Edwardsville officer was called to the scene to quell a minor disturbance, apparently the fight between the two boys. When the officer arrived, he bserved a crowd of about 150 Vegro youths milling outside the ild, three-story white frame luilding. "You'd better call everybody iut, we're going to have trou- ile," the officer radioed back the city police station. The 11 city policemen in- juding Hartung hurried to he YMCA, while the city dis- )atcher radioed the Madison County sheriff's office and other aw enforcement agencies for ssistance. Sheriff Barney Fraundorf, six of Us sheriff's dep- uties, and five special deputies answered the radio dispatch.

Meanwhile, officers from the Troy and Glen Carbon police departments and Southern Illinois University security police and license investigators for the Illinois Secretary of Stale's office arrived to assist Edwardsville police. When Sheriff Fraundorf arrived, he said he observed at least 150 Negroes standing out- side the YMCA on the front 'awn. A Telegraph reporter who was with Fraundorf gave this account: "Many of the Negroes were yelling and cussing and screaming at the police who had already arrived. There were some shoving and pushing each other around; but there was no sign whatsoever of any racial dispute." "A few of them cussed Con- nors, but he talked them into leaving," the reporter said. "He got many of them out and think he saved the day." The only instance in which racial trouble started to occu was after most of the crowc had dispersed, the reporte raid.

The newsman said that two three white boys were walking in the area of the YMCA whe one apparently snatched the ha (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1 CONG HUT BLASTED A soldier of the 5th Royal Australian Regiment leans casually against a post as he watches smoke and splinters explode from blast inside a hut in village a Viet Cong base 30 miles east of Sai- gon.

(AP) Officials of this tense all-white suburb Chicago have received assur ance from Gov.

Otto Kernel that 2,000 National Guardsmen vill be on hand Sunday when rights marchers stage a protest march. Kerner, acting Friday on a request from Cicero and Cook County officials, activated the guardsmen, who are to be joined by local, county and state police. Robert Lucas, chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality and a leader of the march, said he expects 400 to 600 persons to take part. Three Day Bfot Fifteen years ago, three days of rioting resulted when a Negro family tried to move into an apartment in Cicero. William H.

Morris, head of Ihe Illinois state police, said that 375 state police will guard the border between Chicago and Cicero while Cicero police line Ihe parade route. Police from neighboring Ber wyn will take over the ordinary duties of the 90-nian Cicero police. In activating the Guard, Kerner said: "I express my deep disappointment that the march lead ership has ignored appeals to cancel or postpone their demon stration. I sincerely hope that continuing appeals based on concern for the safety for their fellow citizens moves the lead ership at this, the llth hour." Avoids Violence Christy Berkos, Cicero town attorney, said he issued a per mil for the march because he knew the marchers would pro ceed without it and he wanted to avoid violence. A spokesman for the Midwest division of the American Nazi party said party members will be in Cicero Sunday.

The spokesman did not say for what purpose or how many would be here. In recent weeks, uniformed Nazis have held rallies in all- white neighborhoods that were visited by marchers advocating open housing. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had planned to march into Cicero but postponed the demonstration last week when he negotiated an open-housing agreement with Chicago civic and siness leaders.

He told a crowd estimated by olice at between 6,000 and ,000 persons that during six ears of Democratic control of he White House the state had een better roads built, rivers ridged and dams built, new chools constructed and the hungry fed. "We are doing what a denio- president, a democratic ought to do for a democratic people," he said. Welcoming Committee The welcoming committee at he airport was headed by Gov. lulett Smith, a Democrat, and Charleston's Republican Mayor John M. Shanklin.

From West Virginia, Johnson vas bound for Dallastown, help celebrate the communi- y's 100th birthday. Many of the ocal menfolk have grown beards for the occasion. Discussing global water problems at Summersville, Johnson the United States will sponsor an international conference on water for peace in Washington next May 23-31. The Soviet Union and a number of other Communist nations will be invited to send representatives to the assembly. Johnson had announced last year that such a conference would be held, but its timing had not been disclosed before.

The President's big argument for pure water on an earth-circling scale was based on the assumption that people denied it will fight for it. Unclean Water Even today, he said, nearly half a billion persons live in poor countries that draw their water from unclean sources. Noting that water needs are great today and he cited the continuing drought in the northeastern United States Johnson wondered aloud what the situation might be at the end of the century when experts predict the present global population of 3 billion will have doubled. The battle for pure water must be won, he said, adding: "A genuine peace cannot be founded in a desert, or among crowded nations starved for this elemental yes, this divine gift." In Dallaslown, as in many other points along his weekend speechmaking routes in recent veeks, a first term Democrat is acing strong opposition from a Republican challenger. The incumbent is Rep.

Area Police Dislike 'Soft 9 Touch on Suspects By BOB KENNEDY Ifefegrapk Staff Writer Top area law officers, to a man, do not approve of the June decision on the rights of a police suspect to silence and counsel, but are trying to live with Ii effect, the Supreme Court dictates that police advise any suspect that he tot have to talk and that can request legal counsel which must be furnished. East Alton Police Chief Harold Riggins charged the law is "awkward and Inconvenient and seriously hampers law enforcement rather than helping it. It is greatly aiding the criminal." However, he said that although the new system has several drawbacks, "efforts are being made to make it work." Wood River Chief of Police Clarence Vollintine said that so far he could not notice any marked change in being jble to get confessions, but he said the new law probably could cause problems in the future. "I'm not pleased with it, but we have to live with it," said Alton Police Chief John Heafner. "It took away some of our police powers." Thus the area chiefs follow FBI head J.

Edgar Hoover in attacking the 5-to-4 decision. While attacking the decision. Hoover also said it was a fact of law and that police- men throughout the nation would Lave to live with it and develop new methods of obtaining evidence. The law stems basically from the case of Ernesto Miranda who was convicted of kidnaping raid rape in Arizona. The Supreme Court reversed the conviction on the grounds that Miranda had not been apprised of his rights.

To make sure that none of their cases are reversed for fail- ure to advise a suspect of his rights, area police tell a suspect four things before they even begin questioning him. A suspect is advised that he has a right to counsel, that he has the right to remain silent, that the police will provide an attorney if he wants one, and that the suspect can stop talking at anytime he wants. After this, to secure a waiver of these rights, a suspect is asked, "Do you understand these rights? Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk now." After all this, police can then go about their business of trying to obtain a confession of a crime. Alton does not now, but will in the future, require suspects to sign a statement that they tave been advised of their rights. In Wood River suspects are first read their rights, then their statement is taken on a sheet of paper with the suspect's rights printed at the top.

Then the suspect is ordered to read the rights slalment, plus confession, and then to sign it. The same procedure is used iu East Alton. The potential broad effects of the 5-to-4 decision in which the court vastly increased the area cf criminal protection were set forth with unusual vigor by Justice Byron White iu his dissent.
