French Police, Troops Clash In New Riots ROUEN. France If! New rtot ing broke out Saturday night around the Rouen barracks from which draftees had refused to leave for North Africa. A crowd estimated at more than 1,000 battled with ormed riot police and tried to set fire to a wooden barricade closing a breach in the barracks wall. Riot police, who now occupy the barracks, had to duck their heads behind the walls as stones hurtled at them: They retaliated by hurling stones back and throwing tear-gas grenades. A group of youths poured gaso line on the wooden barricade, masking a hole in the wall made by an army truck Friday night, and tried to set it afire. Ten truck loads of riot police were rushed to. the scene. Bottles filled with gasoline were thrown at the barracks wall. Ihe police drove back the demonstra tors,fearing that the flaming bot tles might set off a nearby muni tions store. The' new outbreak, the third in Rouen in 48 hours, was intended to protest the enforced sending of more troops to North Africa, where the French are fighting nationalist rebels in both Algeria and Moroc co. It was also a demonstration against police occupation of the) barracks. i Order was restored in Rouen late Saturday night. Strong forces of police remained in occupation of the barracks and patrolled the sur rounding streets. '.-''' . Quiz Winner Hugs Helper 1: !
