Q Spare Juris Six in Mew York's Times Worn Clues Lacking; Police Examine Debris at Scene ' New York - niPD - Police to day examined the debris o a .. home-made bomb that explod ed in the middle of Times Square at the crowded pea . of a sunny Sunday afternoon, injuring six persons, including two children. ' There were few clues, how- -ever, to tell authorities wheth er the explosion was the work of another "mad bomber" or was connected with the un popular visits of Communist heads of state including Rus sia's N i k i t a Khrushchev. Tense police earlier in the day checked out two other bomb scares, one a hand grenade in Central Park where Janos Kadar, first secretary of the Hungarian Communist party was scheduled to walk and a ' reported threat in the Wal dorf Astoria hotel where many of the diplomats are staying. Sightseers Knocked Down The Times Square blast went off In a marble-walled bed of azalea plants in cement covered Father Duffy Square. It shattered a window in a nearby restaurant, knocked down sightseers, frightened residents, threw dirt and twigs at cars. The sound of the blast could be heard half a mile away. Most of those who were in jured were feeding pigeons or taking pictures in one ot tne nation's top tourist attrac tions. James Foley, 73, of New York, who was sitting 10 feel from the bomb, received ser ious eye and ear injuries and was hospitalized with a con cussion. Treated and Released The others who were injur ed, including Bari Keerkel, 14, of New York, and Ronald Grabowleckl, of Passaic, N.J., were treated and released, Frank and Walter Strycharz, brothers, of Trenton, N.J., and Joseph Rosenfelt, 39, of New York, received slight injuries, Police said Rosenfelt was tomponfrily deafened. The bomb was a low grade explosive believed to have been made of black powder and contained in a paper bag or cardboard box. They said if the explosive had been in a metal container, many more would have been injured.

Joseph Mobutu pressured the United Nations command today to oust their Gulnean and Ghan aian troops from the congo for their open support of deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba. Mobutu filed a protest with the U.N. command Sunday for the action of U.N. Guinean troops in escorting the pro Soviet Lumumba to a Guinean Embassy reception at a down t o w n restaurant Saturday night. Previously both he and President Joseph . Kasavubu had protested that Ghanaian and Guinean soldiers guard ing Lumumba's residence had blocked Congolese authorities from arresting Lumumba. May Be Trouble Mobutu said Sunday night there may be "trouble" unless contingents from those two countries wore ousted from The Congo by Wednesday. He said his armored troops were more than a match for U.N. forces if it came to a show down. Lumumba suffered new loss of prestige Sunday when six members of parliament be longing to his own National Congolese Movement party disavowed him. They acted after Mobutu published documents indicat ing Lumumba and his vice premier, Antoine Gizcnga, ap pealed to Communist China and Russia for military help.
