Patrolmen were called from four of the city's five boroughs to quell the disorder, which re- sulted in two stabbings and numerous other injuries. Twenty-six persons were ar- rested. The reinforcements patrolled Harlem. streets today to prevent further outbreaks. Police did not clash between white civilians. report any Negroes Negroes Fight Segregation In Boston BOSTON (AP)--Boston, once the headquarters for the move- ment for abolition of Negro slavery, today became the scene of another in the series of anti- segregation demonstrations oc- curring in both the northern and southern states. The issue here was what spokesmen for the city's Negro community called "de facto seg- regation" in public schools, or segregation not by law but in actuality. Negro parents were asked to keep their junior and senior high school children out of the public schools today and send them instead to neighborhood social centres for instruction in "citizenship and the freedom movement."" Negro leaders said they ex- pected no violence during the boycott which they called Free- dom Stay Out Day. and The trouble began at two Ne- gro street rallies. Police, some swinging night- sticks, charged into a crowd of 150 at a rally sponsored by the Black Nationalist movement and sent some participants jothers fled. POLICE HURT Police said they attempted to disperse the crowd after an of- ficer was struck by a thrown object. Two patrolmen were slightly hurt in the melee. One jcut on the forehead, The other |was struck cn the arm by a bot- itle. About an hour before, police jsaid, they cleared the street of 11,000 persons at a rally spon- sored by another radical Negro movement, the African Nation- alists. Police said they acted after some persons in the African Nationalist crowd took the part of a vendor who was disputing with a patrolman, Bricks, bot- fore the crowd was broken up. After the rallies ended, about 200 Negroes walked to the vi- cinity of Broadway and knocked over garbage cans, broke bot- tles and scattered litter. Two Negroes were stabbed by the mob, but neither was badly hurt. Police arrested 25 Ne- groes, nine of them juveniles. DEFENDS ACTION As the New York rioting flared, 1,000 persons from all over the South met at a $24-a- plate dinner in Jackson, Miss. They heard Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama defend his stand-inthe-doorway at the Un- iversity of Alabama in a vain attempt to keep two Negro stu- dents from enrolling. "The federal government has again invaded a sovereign state to impose the wishes of a few," mer)Wallace said. He referred to Dr. Frederick J. Gillis, super- intended of schools, said his of- fice has received many reports of threats of violence to chil- dren in connection with the boy- cott. The school committee called on State Attorney-General Ed- ward W. Brooke, a Negro, to ad- vise Negro leaders of the state's compulsory education laws. Brooke could not be reached for comment. The boycott would involve some 5,000 of the city's 14,000 Negro pupils. There are a total of 93,000 pupils in the Boston schools which let out for the summer Thursday.

Amid cheers of "Wallace for president," the fiery ex-Golden Gloves boxer attacked Ken- nedy's civil rights program which is to be introduced in Congress today. Wallace said in regard to the civil rights legislation: "Having demonstrated their disregard for the rights of the state and the people, they are now recommending that free men be denied individual prop- erty rights to satisfy the de- mands of those who resort to mob violence in the streets."

(But there was no immediate clarification of the message which was picked up on the same frequency as that used by valentia.) (At 3 p.m, 8 a.m. EDT), By- kovsky had eritered his fifth day in space and surpassed by two orbits the 64-orbit record set by his fellow cosmonaut, Maj. And- rian Nikolayev, in a flight of jjust under four days last Aug- just. Victory By Landslide For Alberta Socreds EDMONTON (CP)--Alberta's Social Credit government swept aside almost all opposition for the second time in a row when it scored a landslide victory in Monday's general election. The party, which has admin- istered the affairs of the prov- ince for the last 28 years, won its eighth five-year mandate with the same over-all margin it had in the last general elec- tion of 1959--a majority of 57 members. All three opposition leaders fighting their first campaign were defeated by Social Credit!

A total of 225 candidates con- tested the election--a full So- cial Credit slate, 56 New Dem- ocrats, 55 Liberals, 33 Conserv- atives and 18 Independents. Mr. Reimer blamed his party's poor showing on a split in opposition votes. "A lot of thinking people ex- pressed opposition to the pres- ent government but they didn't get behind one candidate,' he said.

A bulletin broadcast at 5 p.m. (10 a.m. EDT) said By- kovsky's ship had lost 26.1 miles in maximum distance and 98.7 miles at minimum dis- tance. This compared with a maximum of 146 miles in his first orbit and 112.4 miles in his minimum, Monday aiccnoon his &» tances from the earth' were 125.5 miley maximum and 192.5 minimum, His speed dropped to 87.8 min- utes for oné lop around the earth, the communique said His original time was 88 muin- utes, Western observers said that the dwindling orbit of Bykovsky in his Vostok V capsule could make it dangerous for him to remain in space much longer. They speculated that the change might be due to a manoeuvre but they had no idea of its purpose. It was believed that if the 28- year-old Soviet Air Force pilot should return to earth ahead of schedule, the Russians would probably cut short the flight of space woman Valentina Teresh- kova, who was still whirling around the earth in an adjoin- ing orbit. BEATS U.S. MARK Valentina today began her 30th trip around the world after surpassing the American record of 22 orbits set last month by Maj. Leroy Gordon Cooper. Bykovsky this morning had completed 60 orbits and was nearing the end of his fourth day in space. The girl was ap- proaching the end of her second day. Tass, the Soviet news agency, said the two space travellers slept soundly for seven hours during the night. She awoke about 5:50 a.m, and he woke up about 7 a.m. The two cosmonauts spent much of the second day of their space date chatting over a two- Space Flight May End As Orbits Dwindling way radio hookup and Valentina merrily sang Bykovsky a song.

Vallentina displayed unflag- ging high spirits to television viewers Monday although dark shadows appeared under her eyes. She dozed off Sunday night in an unscheduled nap that startled flight command centre officials before they awakened her. The Seagull as she is called, is becoming a popular televi- sion petsonality with Soviet aud- iences. She has appeared sev- eral times, sometimes smiling and sometimes serious. At one point she sent a message for her widowed mother. "Tell mama not to worry,' she said.

Police Recapture One Of 3 Convicts MONTREAL (CP)--Police to- day captured one of three con- victs who escaped from St. Vin- cent de Paul Penitentiary Sun- day. ' Emilien Fleury, 24, was caught in a summer camp near the penitentiary where the three men were hiding out. Yvon Grenier, 30, and Edouard Le- febvre fled before police ar- rived, Italians Plunge Into New Crisis ROME (AP)--Aldo Moro gave up his efforts to form a centre- left government today, plunging Italy into a new crisis less than two weeks ago before a sched- ag visit by President Kenne- y. Moro told Italian President Antonio Segni, that his coalition of Christian Democrats, Repub- licans and Democratic Social- ists had agreed upon the new government, but: were dyna- mited by the last-minute walk- out of Pietro Nenni's Marxist Socialists. Vatican Prepares Cardinal 'Conclave VATICAN CITY (AP)--Vati- can officials completed today the final arrangements for the conclave that will elect the Ro- man «Catholic Church's 262nd pope. It may cost up to the equivalent of $500,000; « 4 That walkout caught Nenni in the middle. He had urged his party's central committee to ac- cept parliamentary support of the centre-left regime. Nenni's own strong faction in the party split and the dissidents switched to the side of left-wing extremists who qpenly favor a return of co-operation with' the Communists. Some political observers doubted that Italy would have a stable government by the time President Kennedy is due June 30 for a two-day visit. The split cost Nenni his ma- jority control of the party's cen- tral committee. It might cost him control of the party and force the onetime Stalin Prize winner who broke with commu- nism out of leadership. Moro's unexpected failure to form a new centre-left alliance, after 24 days of talks with party leaders, also put a serious dam- per on hopes that any work- tation of the Lord's Prayer or Bible-reading in public schools. "A sad departure from this nation's heritage under God," said Dr. Robert A. Cook, presi- ident. of the National Associa- tion of Evangelicals. "True religion does not need to be bolstered up by the state," said Methodist Bishop James K. Mathews, president of the Massachusetts Council of Churches. Jewish leaders generally fav- ored the decision. Protestant and Roman Catholic leaders were split in their opinions. The National Council of Churches, the Federation of Most Protestant and Orthodox Churches, said: 'Neither the Church nor the state should use the public school to compel ac- ceptance of any creed or con- formity to any specific religious practice." ABANDON HERITAGE James Cardinal Mcintyre, Ro- man Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, in Rome to help elect a new pope, said: "The effect of the decision can only mean that our America heritage of philosophy, of relig- ion and of freedom are being abandoned in imitation of So- viet philosophy, of Soviet ma- terialism and of Soviet regi- mented liberty." Bishop Fred Pierce Corson, president of the World Method- ist Council, said the court "pe- nalized .. , . religious people who are definitely in the majority in the United States." ACTION NOT HOSTILE Rt. Rev. Arthur Lichtenber- ger, presiding bishop of the Pro- testant Episcopal (Anglican) Church, said: "It should be understood that the court's ac- tion is not hostile to religion." Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, presi- dent of the Lutheran Church in America and chairman of the central committee of the World Council of Churches, said: "The more we attempt as Christians or Americans to insist on com- mon-denominator religious ex- ercises .. , the greater risk we run of diluting our faith and contributing to a vague religi- osity which identifies religion with patriotism and becomes a national folk religion." The Pilot, official newspaper of the Roman Catholic diocese of Boston, said the court 'turns its back on the total American tradition and outlaws the pres- ent practices of 39 states." Mild Reaction From Congress WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court's decision forbidding compulsory Bible reading and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in. public schools appeared today to have been ac- New Mystery Blast Rocks British Guiana GEORGETOWN, British Gui- ana (Reuters) -- A dynamite charge blasted a hole in the headquarters of the British Gui- ana transport and harbors de- partment on the western out- skirts of Georgetown Monday. No one was reported injured. Police sealed off the building --said to be extensively dam- aged inside--and used dogs in an effort to trace the person who planted the charge. The blast followed a mysteri- ous explosion Sunday east of the city which has not yet been traced. Some quarters believed the earlier blast was an under- ground arms cache blowing up. Police Commissioner Peter Owen said the situation im this strike-bound British colony has deteriorated since Saturday. A general strike protesting a government labor relations bill has been in force for nearly two months, CALLS IN LEADERS Governor Sir Ralph Grey called in three political leaders --Premier Cheddi Jagan of the rulbimg People's Progressive party, Forbes Burnham of the people's National Congress and Peter D'Aguiar of the United Force party -- for discussions amid reports of intensified feel- ings between Negroes and East Indians. : Of the population, about 285,- 000 including Jagan are East Indians. There are some 200,000 Negroes led mainly by Burn- ham's party. There also are about 75,000 colored (mixed race). Jagan's party holds 20 seats in the assembly, Burnham's 11 and D'Aguiar's four.

But congressional reaction to Monday's 8-to-1 ruling was com- paratively mild. Generally, the feeling seemed to be that inter- preting the laws and the con- stitution was the court's job. "The Supreme Court has its function and we have ours," commented Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, a Ro- man Catholic, The court specifically barred Bible-reading amd the recital of the Lord's Prayer as part of re- quired classroom exercises in Setback For LONDON (Reuters)--Subdued cheers from his Conservative supporters and cries of "resign" from Labor opposition members greeted Prime Minister Mac. millan when he entered the Commons today, This followed the rebellion of 27 Conservatives in Monday's debate on the Profumo affair when the government's winning margin dropped from 97 to 69. Macmillan treated today's op- position demonstration with stolid indifference. British newspapers were full of suggestions that his days as prime minister are numbered, but Macmillan appeared out- wardly confident while speak- ing during a routine 'question period." LONDON (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Macmillan appeared today to be nearing the twilight of his political career, victim of per- haps the strangest imbroglio in British history. Macmillan managed a vote of confidence in the House of Com- mons Monday night over the celebrated and smelly Profumo affair but never did Opposition Leader Harold Wilson look bet- ter and never did Unflappable Mac appear more flappable. Newspapers unanimously re- garded the vote----321 to 252--as a setback for the 69-year-old prime minister since it meant that 27 of his Tory followers ab- stained, indicating they want another chief before the next election. Macmillan's margin on the crucial vote was only 69--al- tic six-hour debate over the case of resigned war minister John 0 K ler, 21, who he was seeing at the same time as the Russian naval attache in London, Capt. Eugene Ivanov. Ivanov has since returned to Moscow and been promoted. From his hiding place Pro- fumo today expressed his "'pro- found remorse" over the affair. A statement issued through his lawyers noted that Profumo had admitted deep regret for his actions in his letter of resigna- tion. It added that "wishes to take this opportun- ity through the medium of the press to repeat to a wider public his profound remorse." public schools.

Despite the political speculay tion that he will quit soon, there are some observers who pre dict that Macmillan will some how survive this crisis as w although an election is dué within 16 months. Opponents as well as friends said' emphatically in debate Monday there was no question of Macmillan's honor and integ- rity being questioned in his be» trayal by Profumo. * KING STREET CABLES CUT No parade. or special' cere- mony marked --removal of overhead cables. on King street this¢morning.
