Arrest in Wichita incites mob to riot
University Daily Kansan
WICHITA (AP)—More than 50 persons were injured last night when an angry crowd of about 200 persons threw rocks at police, and overturned and burned cars on Wichita's northeast side, authorities said.
The disturbance was sparked by a police arrest in the area.
At least 31 persons suffered minor injuries, authorities said. Two civilians were hospitalized, one with a gunshot to the leg, and the other with facial cuts and broken teeth.
A total of 37 civilians, 11 police officers and three firemen were taken to local hospitals, where they were treated for cuts and bruises and later released. Police officers and firemen had minor injuries but were not taken to hospitals.
"We're going to police this city and no one is going to run roughshod over us," I say. "L'amounon said."
Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon said shortly before 10 p.m. that the disturbance was under control except for "a small pocket of individuals giving us trouble now."
He said that about 50 to 75 persons were still battling police with rocks in some areas, and that police were not doing well.
Deputy Chief Bobby Stout said at least 300 law officers were in the area, including police, Sedgwick county Sheriff's officers, and reserve officers. In addition, the Kansas Highway Patrol provided assistance.
Soon after the disturbance began about 6 p.m. police officials ordered night shift officers to report for duty
Police formed a human chain and cordoned off the area, a predominately black section of the city of 260,000. Firemen were told not to answer alarms and they waited for police. Police felt it was secure to battle fires in at least six cars.
Groups of police, armed with tear gas, began
weeping along the streets, trying disperse groups
around the area.
LaMuynon said that any persons resisting would be arrested.
The crowd moved toward the Wichita State University campus as officers tried to control it.
LauMyunjo said the mule "by a bunch of bothers" apparently broke out after an officer stopped a man in his car. The man, wanted on a warrant in connection with shooting, resisted police and scuffled with an officer.
Other police arrived to help and they made a difficult arrest using shackles and handcuffs as a crowd gathered. Officers called for help and reported being stoned by the crowd.
"It went from the officers and erupted to include innocent citizens driving down the streets," laMunyon said.
The incident was the second riot in Wichita in little more than a year. An Easter Sunday rock concert erupted in violence when police tried to break up a group of young protesters across town from the scene of last night's violence.

Custodians get biweekly wages starting in fall
A meeting scheduled yesterday between the University of Kansas Medical Center and its custodians to settle a dispute was scheduled today, but one issue may have been solved.
The two sides were scheduled to discuss the plans for a new center, vices from the Mid Center housekeeping department and starting bickly pay period, Francis Jacobi, president of the Mid Center.
The custodians have complained of alleged harassment by AMS supervisors, and they want the Med Center to completely reconfigure the building when their contract expires April 13, he said.
The biweekly pay issue was apparently solved by a letter the union received from the Med Center's personnel department.
"We've received a letter saying that biweekly pay will be initiated in September 1980." Jacobs said.
"But we've also received a letter from them that gives the important dates in the phasing out of AMS and I'm not happy with the plan," Jacob said.
According to the plan, assistant managers for the housekeeping department will be hired when AMS staff becomes department manager will be hired in October. The ties with AMS would be combined.
Jacobs said this was not a desirable plan because ideally managers should hire their assistants, and according to the plan, they would have seniority over the manager.

Europe aids U.S. against Iran
By the Associated Press
America's European allies yesterday ordered immediate reduction in their diplomatic staffs in Iran and said they would impose economic sanctions unless the United States allowed them. May toward freeing the American hostages in Tehran, Iran threatened to stop oil exports to countries that moved closer to the Soviet border took steps to move the closer to the Soviet border
The European allies also ordered an enlargement agreement and they would again send their ambassadors back to Tetrahn to urge the Iranian government to free the 53 hostages.
IN THE NORTHWESTERN Iran province of Kurdistan, clashes in several cities resulted in a dispute over autonomy intensified. Tehran Radio reported that calm had returned to Tehran University, but another Iranian university in the city was killed in a clash at Gilan University. Class resumed, but reports said as many students from the latest outbreak of campus unrest.
Foreign ministers of the European Common Market countries reached their decision at the end of a two day meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, "decisive progress" toward release of the hostages would have to be made to stop the trade sanctions. The phrase was not
Conference officials said that if the initial steps by the Common Market were followed, trade sanctions limiting exports of all materials except vital medical supplies would be activated in mid-May. The other months are scheduled to meet again in Milan later this month.
IN ADDITION to economic sanctions, the market would agree not to buy Iran above the current OPEC price. Iran now supplies about 5.5 percent of American gas.
Japanese Foreign Minister Sakuro Okira met individually with several of the top Japanese diplomats yesterday, and told reporters that his country would be inclined to follow the United States in a diplomatic effort.
definite decision would be made until after he met with President Carter in Washington next month.
The Iranian oil minister, Ali Akbar Mousavi, said the agency Paris as saying Iran would warb oil exports to countries that imposed sanctions to try to pressure his country into compliance.
THOSE COUNTRIES, Pars quoted Moinfar as saying, "would be blacklisted forever and would never get Iran soil."
He was quoted as saying Iran's foreign currency reserves were strong enough that it had "no need to export oil."
Iran's economic affairs minister, Reza Salimi, was quoted by Pars as saying that the Soviet Union had agreed to let Iranans use Russian roads if the United States set a deal. Pursuant to that part of a draft agreement completed recently, Pars quoted him as saying.
Salmi also said Iran planned to buy all necessary goods such as medicines from Soviet bjoe countries or from nations from American sanctions, Pars reported.
Runner's win contested
BOSTON (AP) —Calling Rosi Rui a cheat is easy; proving her one is not.
The New York office worker scampered to a first place finish among women in the Boston Marathon, only to be faced with the same challenge on the course somewhere along the route.
"I ran the race," she said yesterday. "I will not say anything different, I paced myself a little further up than I expected and I ran faster."
Indeed, some veteran officials of the Boston Athletic Association figure Ruiz ran much too fast.
"I think she wanted to come in fifth or sixth." said one. "No wonder she was surprised when she won."
Race Director Will Clonec conceded that Ruiz' backers now are surfacing.
"We've had people swear she saw her"
he said, "but really, how credible is that?"
"She had a very broad smile and beautiful white teeth," said Geraldine Hefferman of Needham. "She took water right out of her. She looked me right in the face."
Coney said, however, that officials had watched film taken at least a dozen vantage points from a helicopter.

"She doesn't appear except crossing the finish line," Cloney said.
He added that the BAA would not make any immediate move to recover Ruiz' winner's medal.

The problem for the BAA is that, apart from television coverage, there is little proof of who did what on the 28-mile, 385-yard course.
The BAA has officials at checkpoints throughout the race. But they provide progress reports, not runners, alibis.
The entry numbers of the first 100 runners to pass by are recorded at each checkpoint. But the first 100 marathoners to pass the checkpoints are men.
Women simply are not checked along the course.
