WARSAW, April 14.
Police used batons and teargas last night to beat back several thousand Polish teenage “pop” fans who were trying vainly to storm the Warsaw Culture Palace to see the British Rolling Stones group.
Inside the concert hall nearly 3000 semi-hysterical youths and girls danced up and down in their seats, screaming, whistling and waving jackets and jerseys throughout a one-hour performance by the group. Mr Leslie Perrin, press officer for the Rolling Stones, who saw the incident said: “It was pretty rugged. The police did not use half measures. I have never seen anything like it”
