TARGETS FOR MISSILES
MINISTER AND WIFE STUDENTS' BOMBARDMENT GLASGOW UNIVERSITY SCENE (Received October 17, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 16 Eggs, fruit and tomatoes were hurled at the Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Walter Elliot, when he visited the Glasgow University Union accompanied by his wife. Most of the missiles failed to hit the Minister, but one tomato burst over his head, an egg broke against his coat and water squirted from the students' galleries poured over him. Mrs. Elliot was struck by a tomato aimed at her husband and she ran with other women from the platform. The Minister pleaded for quiet and succeeded in making his speech.
