The fighting began after about 100 demonstrators, many of them with spiked hair and studded homber jackets, peeled off from a group of 6,000 p wi marched 10 abreast through Bad Hersfeld's main square chanting “Nazis Go Homel” The clash erupted in a parking lot behind the town square, but police and witnesses gave conflicting accounts of how it started, Police Chief Horst Hinn told a a news conference that a gang of demonstrators suddenly attacked a man as he tried to get into his car in the lot. Hinn said the youths sprayed the man with tear ripped off his car door, and then attacked riot police who rushed to the man's rescue. Demonstrators claimed the trouble began. when a Volkwagen bus full of uniformed Neo-Nazis pulled into the - lot and some demonstrators began throwing paint-filled balloons at the bus. ~ POLICE INJURED “Then suddenly, all these cops come pouring in and they protected the fascists, and that made everybody mad," said a young woman whose injured. friend was taken away in an ambulance. A police spokesman said the 300 officers who converged on the square did not use.any tear gas, but that the demonstrators sprayed tear gas at them. The spokesman said two of the injured were policemen sprayed in the face with gas. Another officer was hit on the knee by a broken bottle, and the demonstrators said two from their ranks were hit full-face with tear gas and taken to. hospital. Hinn said seven people were arrested in thé street fight, including one on a weapons charge.

WARNED OF VIOLENCE About 100 police in full riot gear charged the small group protecting the assailant, and a young man in punk-rocker garb was dragged away by police.

It was the fifth reunion of the elite 1st Panzer (tank) Division in this quiet community of 30,000 about 160 kilometres northwest of Frankfurt.

Officials said a man hurled the gasoline bomb at a carpeted, metal-and-wood stand in front of the Regina Bacis. Church in northern * Milan, where the pontiff will say mass today. The attacker escaped on a motorcycle with another man, police said, and no one acknowledged responsibility for the act.

The blast caysed more casualties than any other single attack in the guerrilla struggle against white rule. Police and army teams were still trying to identify bodies Saturday. South Africa blamed the bombing on the ANC, which maintains offices or bases in most of South Africa's black- ruled neighbors. The Pretoria government has at various times attacked the ANC in those countries, After the bombing, Defe- nee Minister Magnus Malan said South Africa should mount pre-emptive strikes against ANC targets, but did not say where.

The enemy casualties consist essentially of air foree and military intelligence person- nel. “The escalating armed struggle, which was imposed onus asa result of the intran- ° sigence and violence of the apartheid regime, will make itself felt among an increas- ing number of those who have chosen to serve in the enemy's forces of repression. “This struggle, carried out by the people of South Africa and their army ... is conducted within our country and will be won within the country.

(CP) — British Colum- bia’s oldest daily newspaper, The Columbian, may close if creditors refuse a formal debt repayment proposal made by The Columbian Co, Ltd. Fri- day. The company, which has $7.3 million in debts and a net. deficiency of $2.07 million, has filed a proposal under the Bankruptcy Act to restruc- ture its payments, form at the Grand Prix racetrack. “Help to build a new society” free of drugs and terrorism, the Pope repeat- edly urged the enthusiastic crowd — many of whom waited six hours to hear him speak.

Canada Packers Ltd. is closing its slaughter facilities in Toronto and will handle its beef kill at the former Tender-lean plant in Burling- ton, Ont., and its hog kill at the former Gainers plant in Kitchener.

Over this period we have trimmed costs and manpower and we believe we have a viable company, especially now that the economy is turning around.” LAWS FRUSTRATE Attempts by The ‘Coluni* bian to obtain additional loans and equity financing have been frustrated by the proposed federal Newspaper Act and the existing Excise Act, Taylor said.
