PoUGHKEEpsIE, May 80. - Feeling
gainst Bouck White, founder of the
defunct Church of the Social Revolu

left the village amid shower OF rotten
fruit hurled at him by men and boys.

oilapidated "f1ivver." When the ag-
tator reappeared in the street there
was group of soldiers and war vet
Grams standing at the corner. He
walked up to the machine and ripped
the newspaper down.
That was the signal for a barrage
Of rotten fruit. 1t came from every
direction and broke as it hit its mark.
White jumped into the car and darted
up the street toward the hill that leads
| to what he calls his "monastic noun
tain retreat" with a hooting crowd
ward that he had been attacked, but
denied that he had been hit.
