Police Smother Riot In Brooklyn NEW YORK UP) A heavy task force of police afoot and on horseback, in uniform and in plain clothes Friday smothered a demonstration by 200 teen aged Negro school boycotters, after two days of street riots in Brooklyn. Brought from all over the city, the 400 policemen outnum bered the youngsters 2-1. Despite the odds, the youths momentarily threatened to get out of hand once more, as they marched outside board of edu cation headquarters, chanting "Bluecoats must go! Ole! Ole! Two mounted policemen rode their horses onto the sidewalk and srjlit ud the mob. Other .police moved in quickly and ar rested 13 adults and two schoo children. That broke the back of the demonstration and it dis solved after about 45 minutes. The arrests brought to 55 the number seized in the area in the past three days. The Kites Are Coming It's kite fly in'" time almost. Kays Gary, popular columnist of the Charlotte Observer, yesterday accepted an invitation to judge the second annual Daily Tar Heel Kite Contest on March 20. Details of the contest, including the remaining judges and a long list of prizes, will be announced during the next three weeks. Gary, 44, is a native of Fallston, and a graduate of the UNC journalism school. A winner of the Ernie Pyle Award for dis tinguished newspaper writing, he began his career as a sports writer for The Shelby Daily Star in 1945, moving to the Ob server in 1952. In addition to his human-interest column, he also handles occasional news stories, and was one of two re porters responsible for uncovering the "double life" being led by N. C. Republican chairman William Cobb in 1961. Gary addressed the UNC Press Club Thursday night and told how he writes news "with people in mind." "Too much news about city hall is written for the people at city hall to read," he said. "It should be written so John Doe can tell how it will affect him." "People often call me a 'sob sister' because my column is about people and their joys, their problems and their humor. I'll admit I run into a lot of weird folks that way, but most of what I write is about ordinary people." Gary said he was looking forward to the DTH Kite Contest and said he might even interest the Observer in a similar project. He said he might even fly a kite himself, but observed, "I never could get one of the darn things off the ground." The contest will be similar to last year's, which was attended by some 500 people despite a dead calm. Prizes will be given for the biggest kite, the smallest kite, the highest-flying kite, the most beautiful kite, and the most original kite but all must fly. .m tXQ Other attractions will include a special "launching" by UNC junior Wyatt McCallie. A balloon will soar aloft with a para chute attached bearing a valuable gift certificate. BILL INTRODUCED The introduction of the bill was spurred by the attention drawn to UNC fraternity dis crimination policies by gradu ate student James Gardner who headed a rally yesterday de manding investigation of the matter. A bill to establish state lot teries was passed by both houses. It was introduced by UNC freshman David Kiel. The bill was passed in the house 73 to 20 after being amended to require a statewide referendum on the issue. It was passed 25 to 21 in the senate. The lottery would contribute funds for state education. Kiel said there is not enough state revenue to support the growing enrollment in the state's schools. - The New Hampshire lottery was used as an example of a successful state lottery. Representatives from Duke attacked the bill and noted cor ruption., in previous state' ' lot teries, such as one abolished in Louisiana. ' Other: bills passed included one requiring four years of physical education in North Carolina high schools and one protecting the state's fishing resources. House delegate Paul Dickson, chairman of the UNC Honor Council Commission, called the wording, of the fisheries bill "a poor indication" of our educa tional judgment. A bill introduced by UNC-G to eliminate Bible oaths in of ficial state proceedings was passed in the house, but tabled in the senate. The Senate passed, without opposition, a bill to dispense contraceptives and birth con trol devices free throughout the state. Another bill passed the Sen ate which called for the ap pointment of state judges. They are presently elected. Both the House and the Sen ate passed a bill without objec tion which regulates the place ment of advertising along Fed eral highways. The bill specified the main purpose of the bill was to promote safety along the state's highways. The bill has been reintroduced for consideration under normal legislative rules. A roll call vote polled 18 in favor of the resolution and 14 against. A two-thirds vote is necessary to suspend rules. No discussion was allowed. Voting was generally along party lines with the Student Party voting against Legisla tors Sandra Burden, Paul Dick son, and Sonny Pepper were the only SP members support ing the measure. Other bills considered in the lengthy three-hour session were for reapportionment of voting districts to account for the new ly constructed Morrison Men's residence hall and the change of Winston residence hall from a men's to a women' s voting district. A bill to raise the amount of money a campus party, is al lowed to spend on a political campaign from $170 to $200 was passed after a long struggle. "Many party members felt they were not allowed enough money to run the kind of cam paign they would like for the upcoming . . spring elections," said Student Body Vice-President Don Carson. In other business, five new legislators, all members of the University, Party, Were sworn Into office. They were John Western, Leon Soloman, Lloyd Cobey, Kathy Caubel, and Dwight Thomas. ...

James Gardner protested dis criminatory clauses in fraterni ty constitutions and the crowds protested his protest. Students hoisted a sign be hind the speaker stand. "CORE, NAACP, SPU, FSM, Bleah," it read. "So What," read another hoisted alongside. It seemed everybody agreed to protest the loudspeaker set up. "Louder, ' louder," the crowd cried and pressed closer to the stand. Speeches from the stand were interrupted by frequent rendi tions of "Dixie" and the Mickey Mouse song, Confederate Flag Someone unfurled a huge Con federate flag from a second story window in Old West, bring ing cheers from the crowd. Laughter followed when strands of "We Shall Overcome" blared from a record player in the same room. Firecrackers exploded and eggs were hurled at the stand. One student suffered a minor burn on the arm from an ex ploding firecracker. The explo sion of a firecracker inside Ger rard Hall sent Dean of Men .William Long scurrying inside to find who threw it. He didn't find him. And there were chants from the crowd: "beat Dook" and "go to hell CORE." An Associated Press account said, "a pep rally atmosphere prevailed." The AP called the crowd "jovial." Others Speak After Gardner's speech others took their turn before the micro phone. "I want to make a pro posal," ' a woman said. The crowd jeered. A long-hired freshman took the stand and shouted: "I'm a Sou therner and I'm proud of it." The crowd cheered. But by this time the" crowd had begun dwindling away and the cheers weren't so loud. an At Rally Political Union Medicare Debate Planned Tuesday Four top authorities will clash Tuesday night over medi cal care for the aged when the Carolina Political Union kicks off its debate series.

Heels By LARRY TARLETON DTII Sports Editor CHARLOTTi: The Tar Heels broke away from Frank Mc Guire's South Carolina Game cocks in the second half to overpower their southern oppo nents 76-63 here last night. Trailing 30-28 at intermission, the fast-breaking Tar Heels .re-: turned from the dressing room to outrace the Gamecocks in the second period. The Tar Heels monopolized the point board 11-1 in the first three minutes of the second half and then coasted to victory. ote .her 6QBen They are intended to foster strong group identity and better living conditions in residence halls. ' If the projects and their gov ernments are successful, the residence college system will be established on a campus-wide basis. . New Group Takes Over In Viet IS am SAIGON (Detachments of troops, : marines and airmen led by a Roman Catholic army officer who. was recently on diplomatic duty in Washington rebelled Friday against Lt Gen. Nguyen Khanh and quiet ly took over Saigon. A violent reaction was ex pected from both the Buddhist majority of this war-torn na tion, which is well represented in the new government Khanh installed Tuesday, and combat divisions afield that are consid ered loyal to the little com mander of the U.S.-backed armed forces. Rebel tanks, fighter-bomber and men had launched thei mission at 1 p.m. They took over the city strongpoints without firing a shot.

Gardner dismissed last week's alleged "insult" in cident as "settled," and con centrated his fire on the Speak er Ban Law at yesterday's Y Court protest rally. Late yesterday afternoon he announced plans for another meeting. "There will be an- other Free Speech Movement sponsored open forum discussion at noon next Friday, at a place to be determined with the ad vice and consent of Chancellor Paul F. Sharp." The topic of discussion has not been decided, he said. A crowd estimated at 1,500 by Campus Police Chief Arthur Beaumont jammed the area in front of Y-Building at noon yes terday, frequently heckling Gardner during his speech. 'Ban Is Punishment "The gag law wasn't passed to fight communism," he said. "It was passed to punish the University with a, perfectly sil , ly. illegal law." He said th'e 'University was being punished for the role stu dents and faculty members have played in the civil rights . movement. 'UNC Is Conservative The rally was over when Na tional CORE chairman Floyd McKissick arrived from Winston-Salem, where he was rep resenting a client in court. He talked briefly with the DTII late yesterday afternoon, however. "The liberal attitude at the University of North Carolina has changed. People can't express themselves anymore. It's a far cry from the day when Frank Porter Graham was here," he said. Graham, now with the United Nations, is a former president of the University. "There has been no positive objection to the Speaker Ban Law from the students. In other parts of the world where there is concern for freedom and dignity of man, the move ments have started on the cam puses. "The students and the think ing people of the universities have provided the spark." He said the spark is not being provided in Chapel Hill. "They don't realize here that a revolu tion is going to bring about the so-called Great Society. There is a need of inspiration. Why aren't the students being inspired?" Gardner, working through CORE, UNC-NAACP, the Free Speech Movement and the Stu dent Peace Union, called for yesterday's protest rally after a "name-calling incident" last Friday involving a visiting Afri can student. Gardner said the student, Wilmot P. K. Hage of Benedict College, was called a To troublesome zone defense against them. For the game, the Gamecocks hit 41.3 per cent from the floor while Carolina could manage only 39.2 per cent. Cunningham won his personal rebound battle with Fox by pulling down 21 rebounds 15 in the second half. Fox had 18 retrieves, 12 after intermission. Lewis was high point man for the game with 25, including 8 of 20 from the floor and 9 of 10 from the line. Cunningham had 19 points 7 of 17 from the floor and a perfect five from the charity stripe. Lick aw rani "nigger" and Tie was called a "nigger lover." Regrets Disorder Gardner's comments on yes terday's rally: "I regret that a number of students did not read or adhere thoughtfully to the suggestions (urging orderly conduct at the meeting) in Friday's Daily Tar Heel, but I am not pessimistic about the future. "I think as public open for ums become, as they indeed will become, a more frequent part of life on this campus, stu dents will mature to the dis tinction between good healthy heckling and the tossing of cherrybombs into crowds of their fellow students." Chief Beaumont said photo graphs were made of students throwing firecrackers into the crowd and they will be turned over to Campus Code authorities as soon as identifications arc made. "I feel that the wide-spread applause given our denunciation of . the Speaker Ban Law itself . . . indicates that. students of many varied persuasions on this campus are indeed opposed to the gag law," Gardner said. r tthfrZv ' f ' - ' 1 " ' J t n - i : r THE CROWD CAME ... so did signs Sophomore Al Salvadori led the Gamecocks' scoring with 23 points.
