BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND (AP) — Sporadic looting

district of Birmii and police in London and

Liverpool reported scattered violence.

Police flooded into the ‘streets of Birmingham's
Handsworth district, where two people were killed in rioting
Monday night, and had arrested 92 people by dawn today for
burglary, theft, carrying offensive weapons and_stealing
vehicles. A total of 128 people have been arrested since the
rioting began.

Ten police officers, three civilians, and three
firefighters were injured by rioters overnight, but none of
the injuries was serious, said a police spokesman.

introduced them to new recording artists and 57 per cent
said MuchMusic had, at one time or another, influenced an
album purchase.

The music industry, which still hasn't quite got a handle -
on how effective music video can be in promoting record
sales, is taking notice of this and other research that
suggests MuchMusic and other rock video outlets are
perhaps as powerful as a radio in deciding what's a hit.

On another level, the findings are great news for
MuchMusic. Nielsen found that 93 per cent of subscribers

_ polled were satisfied or very satisfied with the service.

Role provides
security
for actor

“LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rene Auberjonois says he had
no thought of doing a television series until a friend talked
him into. accepting a role in. ABC’s Benson.

“They were looking for someone to replace an actor who
was leaving at the end of the first season,” he said. “I didn't
think that was very interesting. I was going to doa play, and
at the time I had very long hair and a beard.

“I passed but they called me again, and by that time I'd
cut my hair and beard. They offered me the role and I had to
decide between Benson and the play. Then a friend talked
me into taking the TV role. She said it would provide
financial security for my children.”

Auberjonois took over the spot, but as a new.character,
at the beginning of the 1980-81 season. He's now beginning
his sixth season as Clayton Endicott III, the chief.of staff to
the governor.

The hit comedy stars Robert Guillaume as Benson
DuBois, who started as thé governor's butler, then became
state budget director and finally lieutenant governor.

“Clayton has evolved and changed over the’ years,”
Auberjonois said in an interview at his home. “When I began
he was more one-dimensional. He was there to be the
nemesis of Benson. He was uptight and officious, but now
he’s more complex.

“I'm still naughty and the audience revels when Benson
gets to put me down. In the beginning he was more of a
cardboard character, but the beauty of playing a character
over and over again is that-you can hold and-shape-him.”

PREFERS STAGE

Auberjonois still considers himself primarily a stage
actor. This spring he returned to Broadway, where he won a
Tony in 1970 for his role in Coco. He played Duke, the
flamboyant_flim-flam-man_in-Big River? —

Auberjonois grew up in Rockland County, an area north
of New York City favored by artists, writers and actors. His
father was a journalist and for a time worked for the Voice of
America. He was named for his grandfather, a prominent
Swiss painter who designed the original sets and costumes
for Igor Stravinsky’s The Story of a Soldier.

“I grew up surrounded by actors, and I used to do little
plays with their children,” he said.

surrenders

NEW YORK (AP)'— A Second World War German
soldier, who escaped from a prisoner of war camp in New
Mexico and spent the last 40 years living under an
assumed name, has met with immigration authorities and
arranged to surrender. Sos =

x Ebe fugitive, Georg Gaertner, , 64, was to appear at a

Serie officials in Ae Pedro, Calif., today to learn his
fate, his publisher said.

Gaertner has written a book, Hitler's Last Soldier in
America, which chronicles his-escape and subsequent
years in Colorado, California and Hawaii working as a
tennis pro, ski instructor, artist and contractor.

Publication-of the-book was scheduled to coincide
with his surrender, said Audrey Eisman, a spokesman for
Stein and Day. The book was written with Arnold
Krammer, a'history professor at Texas AM University.

Gaertner was a sergeant in Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel's Afrika Korps when he was captured by the
British in Tunis in 1943. He was turned over to the U.S.
Army and brought to the United States where 425,000
German PoWs were kept in 500 camps across the
country.

He was interned at Camp Deming in New Mexico
when he escaped on the night of Sept. 21, 1945. Making
his way to a railway track, he hopped aboard a Southern
Pacific freight train and three days later was in San
Pedro.

FLUENT IN ENGLISH

Already- fluent in English, he assumed the name
Dennis Whiles and learned American ways. He was living
and working in Stockton, Calif., when the FBI issued a
wanted poster for him in February 1947.

Despite his fear of discovery, he helped in the rescue
of 226 passengers in a train trapped beneath an avalanche
in Emigrant Gap in January 1952. His photograph was
published but he was not recognized as an escaped PoW.

He married in 1964 but it was not-until three years
ago, when his wife threatened to leave him because he
refused to explain why he balked at things like filing for
social security benefits, that he told her his story._

night passed without a major confrontation. “I think we're

, Dear said" there were 150 incidents of violence in the
area late Tuesday and early today, ranging from “stupid
copycat vandalism to some looting.”

A city ‘police official who spoke on condition of
anonymity said a car was overturned and set on fire
overnight in the Lozells Road area of Handsworth, the
centre of Monday's rioting in which two Asians died in a
blazing post office.

They said window-breaking, looting and arson spread to

and burning shops at Tyburn Square and Erdington, and
setting a car on fire and attempting to burn a junior school in
Sparkbrook.

Police foot-patrols were deployed throughout Hands-_

Fifty i mostly A ed shops, were

and looted. The violence started with a confrontation
between blacks ‘of Caribbean descent and a policeman.

Police and most politicians said there was no racial
aspect to the flareup, but blacks complained of police
harassment, saying they were the targets of repeated drug
raids.

Home Secretary Douglas Hurd was met with bricks and
bottles when he arrived Tuesday to inspect the riot site and
talk to residents. He was not hurt.

Hurd said the government las poured the equivalent of
