Lebanon i Riot ers smashed shops, blocked the streets with flaming barricades and chased people from the side walks Tuesday in violent protest Igainst Lebanon'a pro - Western government. Demonstrators roamed through Beirut for the second straight day. Organized bands were determined to force a general strike and bring business to a standstill.

More barricades were set up in the streets and some were set afire to make them more effec tive as roadblocks. Feverish political maneuvering was under way in an effort to restore order.
