Pro-Italian rioters and local police clashed again. A hand-grenade tossed from a milling mob of 10,000 exploded in the middle of a group of police--and one is believed to have died. The toll in the past two days has been seven dead and about 30 in- jured.

Ike Kills Rule Of "Dictatorship" HINGTON (AP)--President ywer today i d an order designed to give citizens a freer flow of information about the United States government without jeopardizing national security. Effective Dec. 15, the order re- places a controversial measure which former president Truman put on the books Sept. 24, 1951. Attorney-General Herbert Brown- ell denounced .the Truman orer as smacking of "dictatorship." He said that under the old order gov- ernment officials could cover up dereliction" of duty, and mistakes. Truman, responding to similar criticism from editors when his or- der was issued, denied there was any cover-up involved. He said the measure would promote the flow of news and sought only to keep security secrets from potential en- emies. PRESSt GAVE VIEWS Brownell outlined the new Eisen- hower order which includes sug- gestiols made by news organiza- tions. In brief, the Eisenhower order: WAS Eisenh 1. Eliminates the "restricted" category for classifying govern- ment data as harmful to national security if made public--leaving only 'top secret," 'secret' and "conf dential." 2. Sets up a system for receiving complaints, from 'newspaper men and others outside the government, and for checking up on the pro- gram. 3. Takes away- document-classi- fying authority from 28 agencies, such as the American battle mon- uments commission and the veter- ans administration. 4. Gives classifying authority to the heads only, with no power to delegate it to someone else, of 17 agencies, like the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Tennessee Valley Authority. 5. Permits the heads. of other agencies, such as the defence de- partment, t oname an employee as classifying officer. 6. Defines what information is to be classified, how it is to be transmitted and stored, marked 'and, when indicated, destroyed. | FIREWORKS IN LONDON LONDON (AP) Shouting, hymn-singing university students turned famed Bow Street Court into a bedlam today when hearings began on mass arrests resulting from one of the most riotous Guy Fawkes nights in Lendon history. . Singing 'Onward Christian- Sol- diers," they marched through the packed and littered Covent garden market area, strewing exploding firecrackers in their wake, and tried to rush the doors of the court when they were thrown open. Policemen, standing shoulder to shoulder, barred their way. Police finally managed to clear a space, and the more than 200 students arrested Thursday night were ushered into the court, all charged' with "wantonly discharg- ing a firework in the street." Most of the students pleaded guilty and paid small fines. But ushers repeatedly had to call for silence when the students re- lated their side of the story. Some snarled proceedings by in- sisting on calling witnesses from the shouting, jeering throng out- iside--an almost-impossible job. 10,000 MARCH The hearings were the aftermath of a wild outburst Thursday night Police Will Remember This Sth Of November in London's west end, climaxed by a march of 10,000 university on the Houses of Parliament.

TO PALACE The rioting erupted, student spokesmen claimed, after police had refused them a permit for a big procession through London streets and a bonfire. A police spokesman denied such permission had been withheld, and said the only restriction was an old one forbidding processions or meetings within a mile of Parliament while the House is in session. As police fought off student at- tacks on the Eros statue, the mob surged out of Piccadilly Circus with the cry: "On to Parliament."

Fla.) protested bitterly today to defence headquarters against what he termed "intolerable interference' by. the United Stated army with correspondents' efforts to report the news from Korea. He wrote Defence ' ~ecretary Charles E. Wilson, urging a swift crackdown on *"'putrefying" news censorship by the military, and suggested that some censors are "more officious than efficient." There was no immediate com- ment in reply. Smathers said in an interview that his protest stemmed from dis- patches earlier this week by John Randolph, Associated. Press Cor- respondent in Korea. 1 Police Lose Their Pants ~-At Cleaners Clothing, including policemen's pants, stolen from Sibby's Dry Cleaners, 181 Bond Street West yesterday morning, was recovered the same gday by Cobourg 'police and returned to Oshawa this morn- ing. The theft was discovered by Constable Harry Partridge when he checked the company's east door at 4.40 a.m. Thursday. He entered the store to find clothing strewn about and furniture knock- ed over. The thieves had entered by removing a coal chute from an opening on the west side of the building and left by the east door, With them they took 50 pairs of trousers, together with men's and women's suits, top coats, jackets and the police pants. They sold the lot to a Cobourg, man for $35 and skipped. A warrant is out for their arrest. The clothing was brought to Osh- awa police station today for identi- fication. It stood in piles and heaps over desk floor and chairs in In- spector Wilbert Dawn's office.

While Canada is impressed with progress in political and military spheres under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, "frankly we in Canada are genuinely concerned about the thin and rather brittle economic base on which this polit- ical and military co-operation has been built," Mr. Abbott said. "We are convinced \ that the political and military security of the free world must have a more solid economic base, for I am enough of an. economic determin- ist to believe that if the economic base cracks again, it will be ex- tremely difficult to maintain the measure of political understandin and military co-operation whic now exists." students and other young people lof Parliament Yard. 4 Churchill's official residence.

They were tried in absentia. The court acquitted three Italian co- defendants. Judge Francesco -Sischer sen- tenced former Lieut. Aldo Icardi of Pittsburgh to life imprisonment. He sentenced former Sgt. Carl Dolce of Rochester, N. Y. to 17 years in prison. Since U. S. courts declined to extradite them, they cannot be forced to return to Italy to serve the sentences. Second Quad Fails to Live LANSNG, Mich. (AP)--The sec- ond of Lansing's Van Alstine quad- ruplets died today. Donald® Ray, first of the quad- ruplets born Oct. 26 to Mrs. June Trollman "van Alstine, had lived in an incubator since birth. Death was attributed to cardio-respira- tory failure.

' Sl Chisholm Takes To Bush Following Latest Blast TORONTO (CP)--Dr. G. Brock Chisholm, in the past an out- spoken critic of morals, laws and Santa Claus, plans to retire to a small house on Vancouver island to "sort out his thinking." The eminent Canadian psychi- |W atrist who recently resigned as director-general of the United Na- tions World Health Organization said he doesn't like what has been happening to himself. Dr. Chisholm, 47, whose views over the years have raised storms of protest, also doesn't like Holly- wood's gangster movies, the press that plays up international discords and "sacred cowsy"' The dissatisfaction with himself, he explained in an interview Thurs- day, arises from the fact that he has 'become a compromiser." He said he is seeking '"'a spot of re- orientation" by taking to the woods and physical activity. AFFECTS THINKING "I've never. compromised with essential principles, but I found the only way I could get things done in-an international field like +i. H. was by compromise-- and it does affect one's thinking," he said. "If one goes on too long, one { becomes negative. I found myself | taking too long a point of view." | Dr. Chisholm said the world press is doing a "great disser- vice" by emphasizing international discords and clashes on the false assumption that readers don't want to read about harmony and agree- ment. He said the Communist regimes in the satellite countries are prob- ably not so anti-religious or anti- Catholic as they .are anti-Vatican --'"trying to get out of political control of the Vatican. exactly as Henry VIII did in England." GREAT HARM He said "the absolute security of the civil service is in danger of becoming a similar menace if its members are to have tenure for life with little regard for ability. Dr. Chisholm said the United States' gangster movies are doing the West a great deal of harm. It's simply impossible to ex- plain they don't represent Western democracy," he said.
