Nikita Provokes
Near Riot In S.F.
Supermarket
By SAUL PETT
SAN FRANCISCO, LB — It was |
like the happy hour in a maniac i
depressive ward, like the year of j
the locusts, the bull in the china
shop, like the night the dam
broke, like crazy, man.
We who were there, doctor, will
never again go to a supermarket
without seeing red. Blame the
phobia on Nikita Khrushchev.
We have been everywhere and
done everything with Nikita
Khrushchev. We have chased him
on planes, trains, cars, boats,
motor scooters and by foot.
• But the Khrushchev scene that
will always wake us up scream
ing \yas the one Monday in the
\ San Francisco supermarket.
As always, he came in sur
rounded by helmeted police, ner
vous U.S. Secret Service men and
sullen Soviet security officers, all
i fighting off encircling photog
raphers and reporters.
Down the rows of groceries
they went with a roar.
Children screamed. Women held
up babies to see. Teen-age girls
squealed like it was Elvis. Boys
in jeans raced around behind and
on top of shopping carts. House
/wives pushed housewives. Old
ladies, swept along in the flood,
cackled, “There, there’s the Rus
California Man Hired As
Alaska Court Director
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — David j
L. Luce, San Francisco adminis- j
trator for the California Alcoholic :
Beverage Control Department, an
nounced Monday he was quitting
to take a job in Alaska.
Luce, a former chief enforce
ment officer for the State Athletic
Commission, has been ' named re
gional administrative director for
the courts of Alaska.
He said he will leave at the
end of the month to take charge
of setting up a new court system
for the new state.
I
sian. The cute, fat one!”
The cops and security officers
pushed. The mob pushed back.
Somehow Khrushchev moved for
ward, relentlessly, like the Volga
at flood tide. Smiling, he shook
hands, talked with shoppers,
questioned clerks, fingered pack
ages of potatoes, oranges and hot
dogs, posed for pictures at the
meat counter, near the ham.
The mob moved on, cans and
I jars still flying. A store official
scurried behind like a hen racing
after chicks gone mad, picking up
cans, threatening children with
the electric chair, wildly plead
ing with photographers.
Finally the nightmare ended
on the sidewalk. Nikita Khrush
chev thanked the manager, saying
“You have a fine store.”
It used to be.

16-Year-Old Boy
Shot On Steps
Of Bronx School
NEW YORK, yP1—-One juvenile
accused of fatally shooting an
other in a street gang fracas on
the front steps of a high school
said he had become excited and
“it was all a mistake.”
Edward Peres, 16, made the
statement to newsmen after being
photographed and fingerprinted
at police headquarters in the
death of John Guzman, 16.
“I had the gun in my pocket
and something went wrong with
it because when I pulled it out
it went off,” said Peres. “It was
all a mistake, I never wanted to
shoot anyone.”
Police said Guzman apparently
was attacked because he had gone
into another gang’s territory to
date a girl.
Guzman and two companions
retreated on the steps of Morris
high school in the Bronx. Guz
man, felled by a single bullet,
died two hours later. But first he
whispered to police: “A blue rain
coat—a blue raincoat.”
The police, in rounding up the
seven alleged merhbers of the at
tacking group, said Peres wore a
blue raincoat.
