Lenin centenary celebrated
MOSCOW (UPI) — Cuban and Viet Cong leaders opened the celebration of the Lenin centenary today by thanking the Soviets for the guns, fuel and money needed to defend themselves against Americans.

Charges dropped against Panthers
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UPI) — A Superior Court judge Tuesday dropped contempt charges and suspended six month jail sentences for two Black Panthers charged with disrupting a pretrial hearing for Panther leader Bobby G. Seale.
The Panthers, party chief David Hilliard and "Minister of Culture" Elmer Douglas, were freed after they apologized to Judge Harold M. Mulvey, saying they had not intended to disrupt his courtroom April 14.
Seale, who is charged with the kidnapping and murder of Panther Alex Rackley, appeared in the courtroom only briefly between consultations with his San Francisco attorney, Charles Garry, who arrived Tuesday.
The hearing was continued until Wednesday.

Deferment policy suggestions made
WASHINGTON (UPI) The Defense Department has prepared recommendations for Congress to limit occupational and paternal draft deferments and announcement is expected soon.
Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird has frequently expressed his dislike for special deferments which permit men with children and those with jobs in various "critical" agricultural jobs to escape the armed services.
Critics say the deferments have simply induced men to seek out such jobs and that they are not nearly so critical as to warrant virtually exempting job holders from military duty.
Laird said last February the administration prepared recommendations and that their public announcement was considered imminent Wednesday.

Ho Xuan Son, representing the Viet Cong, praised the Soviets for "rendering effective, tremendous help to the Vietnamese people who are fighting against American imperialism."

Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu called for freedom within communism and reconciliation of differences between Communist nations. He did not specifically mention Red China, but referred to the problems created by the Sino-Soviet feud.
"Lenin saw in Marxism not a collection of dogma . . . but living instructions for action," Ceaucescu said. "Considering that what unites the Communist parties is more powerful and far above the divergencies among them, our party promotes relations with all fraternal parties."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—A three-alarm fire destroyed a tire company and heavily damaged a beauty salon, barbecue eatery and an insurance company Tuesday night in the city's racially tense east side.
Police said the blaze was possibly caused by an explosion. There were no injuries reported.
Police arriving on the scene were pelted with bricks, bottles and rocks and a Salvation Army canteen truck, set up to aid weary firemen, was taken over by spectators and had to be closed and removed from the area.
Firemen were hampered by sightseers of the blaze, which quickly spread to adjacent structures. Nine fire fighting companies converged on the area.
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (UPI)—Fullscale rioting, including clashes between soldiers and coast guardsmen, broke out in Port of Spain Tuesday after the government imposed a state of emergency to cope with black power disorders.
State of emergency develops in Trinidad
Army rebels—about 50 to 60 of them out of a garrison of 1,000 men—and coast guards menced a shootout when the soldiers tried to rescue 14 arrested black power advocates being taken to prison.
An Army private and a 16-year-old boy, apparently a bystander, were shot to death. The renegade soldiers fled into the hills surrounding Trinidad when their rescue assault failed.
While the rescue attempt was underway at the army base at Chaguaramas, rioting raged through downtown Port of Spain. Offices of the daily newspaper, Trinidad Express, were sacked after which leaderless mobs ranged through Port of Spain's principal streets, breaking windows and setting fires.
The disturbances, triggered by the state of emergency, ended by late afternoon. The government set a 6:30 p.m. (EST) curfew.
The Metro Squad was called in to investigate the blaze after the city experienced a wave of bombings for more than a week.
The U.S. Navy helicopter carrier Guadalcanal and the landing ship Spiegel Grove, both with Marines aboard, slipped out of San Juan before dawn today and Navy sources said they were bound for Trinidad.

The Guadalcanal had been expected to remain in San Juan until Sunday.
Witnesses said they heard an explosion shortly before 8 p.m.—seconds before flames shot out of the Bonner Tire Co. Thick black smoke was visible for 15 miles away.
