1874 Injured as Paris Police !
Quel| 5 900 Demonstrators

PARIS, Dec. 20 (AP) Riot
police laShed out with night
sticks and rifle butts last night
to break up a noisy protest
demonstration against the
right-wing Secret Army Organ
ization. Demonstrators fought
back with paving stones.
Unofficial reports said about
100 demonstrators were in
jured, most of them about the
head. Hospital care was re-
quired for about 35 Of the in
jured. About 81 policemen also
were hurt.
The demonstration had been
banned by the government for
fear street fights would de-
velop. Despite the ban, about
$4,000 persons turned out in
the eastern part Of Paris, in
cluding Jacques Duclos, a top
leader of the Communist Party;
Daniel Mayer, president of the
League of Rights of Man, and
Authors Jean-Paul Sartre and
Simone de Beauvoir.
Demonstration Elsewhere
Similar demonstrations were
held throughout France. but
most of the violence was in
Paris, near the Bastille and
Republic squares. Reports from
Marseille, Toulouse, Grenoble,
Dion and Caen all spoke of
several thousands of demon
strators, with smaller turnouts
in many other cities.
Earlier, token 15-minute
strikes against Secret Army ac-
tivities stopped much COM
mercial activity throughout
the country. Trains stopped.
factory production lines halted,
telephone operators walked out
and news agency teletypes were
stilled. However, public utili-
ties such as gas and electricity
worked normally.
Three members of the Paris
Municipal Council-two Com
munists and a SocialiSt-were
injured in the Paris clashes.
One policeman was pulled from
his motorcycle. A police sedan
was halted and its windows
broken.
Protest Secret Army
Several union groups, the
Communist Party and other
left wing organizations had
called for a march from the
historic Place de la Bastille to
the city hall, about a mile
away, as a protest against the
Secret Army, which opposes
President Charles de Gaulle's
plan to grant Algeria self de-
termination.
Secret Army activities often
set off plastic bombs to back
their cause. Their activity has
increased recently. leading to
fears of civil strife and a new
attempt at a coup d'etat.
For about an hour police let
the demonstrators mill around
the historic square, but blocked
their way when they started
toward city hall, and made re-
peated charges with three-foot-
long night sticks and rifle
butts.

A-Bomb Plea
To Reds Fades

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. "a CAP).-United Nations
diplomats today assailed the
latest gigantic nuclear bomb
explosions by the Soviet Union
as SenSeless, but hope for any
urgent U. N. appeal to Moscow
appeared to have vanished.
Sponsors of a proposed an
peal by countries close to the
Soviet testing grounds were re-
ported to have given up the
idea of seeking priority for
their resolution aimed directly
at a 50-megaton explosion.
! A concentrated Soviet bloc
drive-and lack of general sup
port-caused the eight-nation
group to withdraw their request
for priority last night. Members
of the group indicated today
they would not try again for
immediate action, although
Denmark told the U. N. Polit-
ical Committee the resolution
still stands.
Senator Alfred j. Brooks of
Canada told the 101-nation
committee this morning that
whether or not yesterdays ex-
plosion was a 50-megaton bomb
was not known, but in any
event "the Soviet Union has
exploded the largest nuclear de-
vice ever detonated."
Canada is one of the Spon-
sors Of the proposed appeal to
the Kremlin. The others are
Sweden. Norway, Iceland, ia
pan, Denmark. Iran and Pakis-
tan. Mr.. Brooks said the appeal
should be approved immedi-
ately, but he made no formal
move for priority.
THE procedural roadblocks
thrown Up by a number of
Communist countries yester-
day." he said. show that the
Soviet Union does not relish

ton"

The welfare cutback actually
already is reflected in the city's
current budget. That is the
reason why the Commissioners
are asking for congressional ap-
proval of their proposed post

The reductions were proposed
by Gerard Shea, city welfare di-
rector, during budget sessions
before the Senate Appropria-
tionS subcommittee. Mr.. Shea
made his proposal after he was
urged by Senator Byrd to see
if he could economize. This
cutback then was accepted by
