A i mate’s nacl as crisis sparks iolent protesting; emergency called United Press International j LEVITTOYVN, Pa. — Two days of violence sparked by the gasoline crisis Monday resulted in a state of emergency being de clared in an embattled Philadelphia suburb where nearly 200 arrests were made and more than 75 persons injured. j Bristol Township information officer Ray Grimes said the state of emergency, proclaimed by the township commission at a special | meeting, meant that any congregation of five or more people would [be subject to arrest, effective immediately. . It’s for an indefinite period of time,” Grimes said. “It’s bigger than a curfew.” The order by commissioners came after two nights of protests which were sparked Saturday when truckers conducting a demonstra tion were joined by motorists angered over the closing of a service station at the busy Five Points intersection in Levittown. | Protesters Sunday night in the crowd of 3,000 set fire to cars, destroyed gas pumps and signs and threw stones at police and j firefighters. Grimes said 127 people were arrested, all but two on charges of disorderly conduct. The number brought the total for two nights of demonstrations to 196, 192 of them on the disorderly conduct charge. [The average age of those arrested was 19 or 20, police said. The Bucks County District Attorney’s office said in a statement that its staff would be at the Bristol police station Monday night in case the j protest flares up again. The statement said anyone taken into custody | who had been arrested during the weekend would be charged with a felony and jailed without hail.

Carter strode across to shake hands to the delight of the Japanese senior citizens. May of the women bowed low, others clapped. All be amed and appeared delighted to shake hands with the president. Carter flashed his widest smile as left the group in the compound of the shrine, which was built in 1920, eight yers after the death of Em peror Meiji, the man who opened the door to America and the west. The park-like memorial has 100,000 trees sheltering long walks from the shrine’s main building. Carter spent about five minutes talking with the Meiji Shrine’s chief priest, Shiniehiro Takasawa, and signed his name in the guest book with the inscription “Jimmy Carter. For peace and friendship among all people. 6-25-79.” Beporters asked Carter if he had followed tradition and made a wish at the shrine. “I sure did,” Carter quipped, “But I can’t tell you, it won’t come true.” $3.85 value ^ Slices of lean bam, swiss cheese,tomato, and lettuce stack up into one great sandwich.
