RIOTING
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) JOHNSTON CITY, Sept. 28. President Johnson has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation to provide riot training for any police department in the country requiring it. He also ordered the Defence Secretary, Mr McNamara, to step up training in riot control for National Guardsmen. The F. 8.1. director, Mr J. E, Hoover, said the rioting which rocked northern cities this summer, largely in Negro areas, were not, strictly speaking, race riots and were not—as had been suggested in some quarters—organised on a national scale by Communists or any other groups. They were characterised by a “senseless attack on all constituted authority without purpose or object,” he said.
