The men Tension Eases After Two Days Of Destruction State Policemen Suffer Injuries Seaside (UPD An estimated 2,000 young rioters began head ing for home today after two days of violent outbreaks in this coastal resort town. The tension appeared to ease after three destruction-filled in cidents Saturday and Sunday caused hundreds of dollars in damage and resulted in injuries to two slate policemen. Four National Guardsmen re mained on guard a! a Pacific Power and Light Co. substation after rioters attempted to wreck it Sunday night. Elsewhere, win dows were smashed, benches broken, a lifeguard tower torn down, and street and shop signs destroyed. Better Organized Police said the rioting was more violent and better organ ized than that which shocked the area last Labor Day. State policeman Kenneth Lampkin was injured when hit on the head with a sand-filled beer bottle. Patrolman Hal Cianni was cut on the hand by a flying rock. At one point, a policeman lost his gun when he was knocked down in a scuffle. Authorities quickly brought in jeeps and trained their headlights on tha spot until the weapon was re covered. Many Arrested At least 46 arrests were made since start of the week end. All liquor and beer sales from Cannon Beach, 5 miles south, to the Astoria city limits, 20 miles to the north, were halted. Take home beer sales were stopped in Astoria. Club swinging police, reinforc ed by a state police riot squad, kept the situation from getting completely out of hand. But the. youths, many of high school age and m a n y wearing college sweaters time and again re formed to create new disturb ances. The trouble broke out about midnight Saturday after it ap peared for a while that this coastal resort' town of 3,877 might escape the rioting which resulted in many injuries and 125 arrests a year ago. Youths broke from the beach area and carried an 18-foot life guard tower down main street. Local police and vo untoer firemen put down this disturb ance in about 45 minutes. Extra state police were rushed in and the National Guard was alerted. Tension mounted Sunday as the town filled with an esti mated 2.000 youths. A National Guard unit was placed on rooftops. Authorities herded the crowd back to the beach after face-to-face taunting for more than an hour. But the youths began con gregating again after darkness fell Sunday night. Then, the worst ot this year's rioting occurred as rocks and bottles were hurled and many youths broke into town. Win dows were broken in a bank, tha post office and a furniture store. State Police Supt. H. G. Mai son who rushed here early Sun day with Warne Nunn, Gov. Mark Hatfield's administrative assistant, directed a force which drove the youths back to tho beach, and split them into pockets. Some of those arrested worn picked up before the rioting started on charges of illegal possession of alcohol. Many were arrested for disorderly 1 conduct. LewjstJJJ frfnho !
