FOLCROFT, Pa, Aug. 81
(AP). - A Negro couple who
moved under a heavy police
escort through a jeering, ugly
tempered crowd into their home
in a previously all-white area
tried settling down today for
what they hope will be a long
stay.
More than 100 State troopers
augmented by a detail of a
dozen horses remained ready to
contain any new outbursts or
demonstrations such as last
nights rock and egg throwing
that threatened to become an
about riot.
Maj. Singleton Shaeffer said
anyone not living on the for
merly peaceful street where the
Horace Bakers now reside
would be kept out. At the peak
of the fury last night a thou
sand or more damned into the
area of modest brick row
houses in this Philadelphia
suburb.
The Bakers, once inside, kept
all lights off.
Hopes for Future
Early this morning, long after
the crowd had dispersed, Mr..
Baker, 26, came out of the
house briefly and told a State
trooper: Sorry I caused all
this trouble. But I hope every
thing will turn out satisfac-
torily."
He shook hands with a priest
on the street and several
neighbors again began jeering.
One shouted, Let me shake
your hand. Niger"
Mr.. Baker returned inside,
where his wife and several
companions were sitting in the
dark.
BY this time only a dozen
troopers were patrolling in the
immediate vicinity. challenging
everyone who appeared. How
ever, 1872 troopers in all were
ready at q moments notice.
Determined to Stay
Mr.. Baker indicated his de-
termination to stay even be-
fore he moved late yesterday
into the house whose interior
had been wrecked by vandals.
A fire bomb was hurle d
through a window early yes
terday.
He said: This is a chal-
lenge. And If we can't live up
to a challenge. we have no
place to 60"

Last october, the Interna-

the fare increase. Most Euro
pean carriers being state-owned
obtained their governments ap-
proval before agreeing. The
boost went into effect a week

NEW YORK, May 1S (AP)
- Two United States airlines
are fighting a retreating action
in resisting a general transat-
lantic fare increase, yielding
only country by country as
the United States Government
advised.
The pattern became clear
today after Trans World Air
lines and Pan American World
Airways - the only American
carriers serving Europe - an
nounced 5 per cent fare boosts
for flights to France and Ger
many.
They yielded to British
threats of confiscation earlier
in the week in hiking rates to
the United Kingdom. TWA
also agreed to higher rates for
Portugal and Switzerland, and
Pan Am said its flights to Swe-
den also may be affected.
Advised by CAB
A Pan Am spokesman said
the Civil Aeronautics Board
advised the two carriers to
conform only as each foreign
country applied pressure. The
CAB opposes the general in
crease dictated by the Interna-
tional Air Transport Associa-
ton.
The increase actually is a
halving of the 10 per cent dis
count allowed for economy
class. round-trip flights. Thus
New York-London fares go up
from $486 to $513, New York
Paris $525 to 1854, New York
Frankfurt 1851 to $592.
Pan AM and TWA now are
charging the higher rates only
on flights to Great Britain. But
they have advised France and
Germany they will comply with

LISTENING UNIT
FINDS VICTIMS

PARIS, July 81 (AP).-A light
listening device that resembles
a doctors stethoscope has
proved a valuable aid in locat-
ing victims trapped in rubble
Of the Yugoslavian earthquake
The French-developed device,
called a capson, works this
way: A tiny microphone on the
end of a long tube is inserted
into the rubble Of an earth
quake or cave-in. The slightest
noise Of victims breathing or
moving is detected and trans
mitted to a small ampl;fier.
The amplified noise Is trans
mitted through the stetho-
scopes tubes to the operators
ears.
The device has been used In
the earthquakes at Skopje,
Yugoslavia, and at Agadir, Mo-
rocco, in 1860.

SKOPJE. Yugoslavia, July 81
(AP). The Yugoslav govern
ment rushed plans today to set
up a barracks city to house the
survivors of Skopje until a new
city is built.
Dynamite and bulldozers
continued leveling the ruins Of
last Fridays earthquake,
Officials said they plan to
erect cheap but bearable shell
ters around the city.
More than half of the 270.-
900 citizens Of Skopje have
been moved to other commu-
mites.
Others were still trickling
away from the area until the
danger Of q typhus epidemic
is past.
Residents to Return
Plans called for residents to
return as the barracks go up.
Six days after the quake hit
Skopje the count Of recovered
bodies stood close to 1000. Au-
thorities said at least TOO more
persons were missing and pre-
sumed dead.
Reconstruction officials said
the wooden structures would be
fully serviceable barracks par
titioned into family units. They
would all have inside plumbing
and would be set on concrete
piles.
Survivors ar scattered all
over Yugoslavia, living with
other families or lodged in
hotel and resort facilities taken
over for them.
Able Bodied Exempt
The barracks would allow
them to return and be united
with their friends and families
All able bodied men were ex-
empted from the government
evacuation order to help in
clearing away the ruined
Skopje.
The splitting Of families
caused Generalization. In the
