An estimated ® rsons were reported killed, scores were injured. wage news agency said at least 200 persons were injured, some of them women and chil- dren.) The racial warfare broke out when thousands of Negroes from South Sudan massed at the Khartoum Airport to protest domination by the east African nation's Arab majority, Then they invaded the city, smash- ing automobiles and attacking Europeans and Americans as well as Arabs. Apparently the Europeans and Americans: were mistaken in the dark for Arabs. "This is not against you," a leader of the mob told an English fam- ily and two Americans: at the airport. HIT CHINESE EMBASSY The rioters smashed windows at Communist China's Em- bassy. Iron shutters were lowered over the windows of the U.S. Embassy, and a marine guard was on the alert. A mob at- tacked the American Embassy Oct. 24 during riots which cul- minated in the overthrow of President Ibrahmim Abboud's military government. Steel - helmeted police and troops with bayonets dispersed the Negro mob. An hour later thousands of Arabs armed with sticks invaded the Negro quar- ter adjoining the airport. Bloody clashes were reported through the night. One group of Negroes took refuge in the Roman Catholic Church publications office, then began throwing rocks at Arabs outside. The Arabs burned the office.

Apparently all the shots missed. FLEE TO BRITISH Fleeing Arabs sought refuge in the British Embassy build- ing. Within minutes the broad street, which leads to the white- walled presidential palace, was covered with rocks and bricks. Roofs were jammed with on- lookers, and the sound of sev- eral shots came from a nearby area of Arab shops and cafes wrecked in the rioting Sunday night. The deep racial and ethnic conflict splitting the Sudan ap- peared to be reaching a new and bloody climax. The demonstration started at Khartoum Airport when a : crowd of about 5,000 Negroes assembled to greet, Interior Min- ister Clement Mboro. Mboro, a Negro, had been touring south Sudan, where Negro tribes are rebelling against the Arabs of the northern Sudan who domin- ate the government and the army. The crowd hoisted banners | proclaiming "Down with the | Arabs," and "Down with Arab| Merchants."

"That, of course, is no prob- lem this time anyway," he con- tinued, referring to the strike of 13,000 employees. He anticipated that the strike would bring about an even larger vote, because so many persons could take advan- tage of the off-work time.

Key Talks Open The concept was to provide West Germany with a nuclear role without nuclear arms of its own. President de Gaulle of France has turned solidly against it and Wilson's Labor Party has been distinctly cool.
