Anti-War Riot
(N Z.P A-Reuter—Copyright) CAMBRIDGE (Massachusetts), April 16. Angry students rampaged through the university town of Cambridge overnight, setting fire to a bank, overturning cars and breaking windows after an anti-Vietnam war rally. As police reported that the estimated 1500 rioters were swelling in number, Governor Francis Sargent, ordered 2000 National Guardsmen on standby duty. The rioting broke out shortly after the late-even-ing rally on Boston Common across the Charles River from Cambridge—the town which houses Harvard University.
