Amtorg's information to
would be made with a gun
hidden in either a camera or
a microphone.
Police Immediately examined
Photographic and broadcasting
equipment carried by newsmen
reporting the Premier's ac-
tivities.
Members of the press were
kept behind barricades as the
Premier left his quarters to go
to the United Nations General
Assembly meeting.
Speaks to Reporter
However, Mr.. Khrushchev
paused to speak to a Russian
speaking woman reporter
standing near a battery OF
microphones.
Assistant Chief Inspector
Edward T. Feeley of the New
York Police Department said
Amtorg took the assassination
report to 1t. Gen. Nikolai S.
Zaharov. the Premier's security
chief, before notifying police
officials.
The report of the threat
came as more than 600 police
went on the alert around the
United Nations headquarters
after a hectic night of clashes
between club-swinging officers
and riotous demonstrators in
various parts of the city.
AS police moved into the
u. N. area at 8 am, prcpar-
ing for the opening of the
General Assembly's second
session. there were no demon
stratorS on hand.
Again, wooden barriers were
set up to keep a quarter-mile
stretch of First avenue in front
of the U. N. clear of all except
authorized persons. And for the
second day, police planned to
keep demonstrators of opposing
views at opposite ends of the
zone to avoid clashes.
SkirmiSheS Develop
Despite New York'S greatest
police effort in history to pre-
serve order, numerous skirm-
ishes broke out around town
last night.
The brawls swirled around
midtown streets as task forces
of police and mounted patrol
men moved swiftly to curb the
disorders.
Eggs and lighted firecrackerS
were hurled at police-who
pushed and showed and fought
back with clubs.
At leasS three demonstrators
were injured and four arrested.
The heavy police security was
praised by most New Workers
but damned by some Commu-
mist bloc chieftainS.
AS the curtain rose on the
second day of the U. N. sum-
nit" gathering. most of the
starring cast of world leaders
was on hand-or on the way.
Stealing the spotlight yes
terday was the meeting in
Harlem between Mr.. Khru-
shchev and Cuba's Prime
Minister Fidel Castro. The
controversial leaders talked for
% minutes in Mr.. Castro's
hotel, then emerged with their
arms around each others
shoulders.
Biggest Headache
The large assembly of Com
muniSt bloc leaders-and the
Castro entourage-gave police
their largest security headache
in history. About 5000 police
have been assigned to protect
them.
Police assigned to the hotel
headquarters of Mr.. Castro said
today that a noisy demonstra-
ton near the hotel yesterday
was due mostly to high Spir-
IT'S"
The outburst started across
from the Hotel Theresa after
the Khrushchev-Castro confer
ence.
& One member of the State
Department security guard who
asked that he not be named,
photographers for inciting the
crowd.
THE Photographers wen t
over to this crowd after Mr..
Khrushchev left and aske d
them to wave and shout so
that they could take pictures, "
the official said, adding, that
is what started everything"
Helping make matters more
trying for hard-working police
was the large melange of for
eign-born residents in this city
of 8 million. Many are from
East European countries and
lands now under Communist
rule.
They were a ready source of
supply for anti-Communist
demonstrations.
The worst of the street
