Some 35 persons sought me dical help after the melee in which more than 30 automo biles were damaged. Louis H. Alvarez, National Action party (NAP) presiden tial candidate defeated in last July's elections, said "we, the NAP, will keep on fighting until we have finished the re gime." Speaks at Mexicali Alvarez, who was speaker at the large outdoor gathering four blocks froni'Main street late Saturday when the riot exploded, addressed a meet ing of 800 persons at Mexicali Sunday, about 100 miles east of here. .Police said this two-hour meeting was peaceful. Deputy police chief Fran cisco Vias Novoa said Satur day's riot was the worst in Tijuana's history. The outbreak apparently was touched off by protests against a show of strength by the government which earlier had warned Alvarez that the meeting would be disbanded if a Federal law prohibiting demonstrations was broken. Fire Trucks Drawn Up Armed police officers were stationed "at rooftops over looking the meeting place and fire trucks were drawn up around the gathering when Alvarez began his talk. During the speech in which Alvarez labelled the show of force by the government as aggression, someone grabbed the microphone and began shouting anti-government slo gans. The people then exploded into a club-swinging swarm. A hail of stones and bottles was hurled through the air.
