Restore Order

LONDON. March 20 — (GP) — Supporters of Sir Oswald Mosley clashed tonight. with Communists and other arm-Mosley forces in rioting that spread over a wide, area of London's East Eind. t

Fists flew. Windows of a bus‘ were smashed. Firecrackers. steel ball bearings and glass '

marbles tossed by demonstrators made a dozen police horses lose their footing. Eight policemen were hurt. '

Police rounded up i8 including several women.

Several hundred police strugglcdl for several hours before they rouitil clear snarled traffic in the dense- Lv-populated area. l

The Ccirtnuiiiists and other an- ‘ti-Mosley demonstrators irumber- ‘ed more than 5.000. There were about 150 Mosley followers. ,

Home Secretary James Chuteri Ede Friday had rejected a requestl by local mayors, town clerks and members of Parliament that the march be banned.

The trouble started at dusk in Rldiey Road, where members of Mosley's union movement. an out- growth ot‘ his pre-vs-sr Fascist 0r- ganization, held an outdoor meet- mg.

Communists started another meeting 100 yards away. Shortly afterward the demonstrators mixed 1n confused fighting that spread over imany blocks.

Police ivere ale-rt for trouble and more than 20-0 officers on foot were a't the scene. Reserves were seated in buses strategically scattered about. the East End.

As speakers tried to shout each other down many thousands of Londoners flocked into the district to vratch the excitement.

The traffic jams were caused by the onlookers. The demonstrators shied some stones and chtimks of concrete at a stalled bus. Air was let out of the iirts of another.

The Mcsieyitea planned a. meet- ing at Rldiey Road and then a parade to the square in front of the Tottfinham town hail for another desnonstration. The Communists and others opposed to Mosley were detenmined to breakup the pro-‘
