LOS ANGELES (AP)-—Cali- fornia’s National Guard was or- ‘idered into the riot-torn south side of Los Angel s Friday as * thousands -of Negroes ran wild, (burning and looting over a 150- block area.

California's lieutenant - gover- issued \the order by telephone from the ‘Los Angeles Airport as he ar- rived from Sacramento to con- |fer with city officials on ways to quell two days of violence in the city’s “‘black ghetto.”

Maj.-Gen. Charles Ott of the state national guard said he ex- ipects he will be asked to supply 500 to 1,000 men to reinforce*the 900 local officers who'have been fighting rioters since Wednesday night. | The action came as a police spokesman said: ‘‘We simply do not have the men or equipment to control this situation. Looters are entirely out ef hand.”’

BUILDINGS AFIRE

Fires blazed in more than half a dozen buildings on the south- east side, sending up columns of smoke visible over the entire tLos Angeles basin. :

Brick - hurling rioters turned back many fire-fighting units, but squads of police got some of them through to fight the spreading flames.

The police spokesman aid:

“There have be n many cases of our men and helicopters be- ing stot at. Power is out. be-|

- cause of the fires and we are

trying to muster enough units to escort a water and power department truck into the area so there will not he a blackout after. dark.”’

Control

In the third and worst day 9s? riots radiating outward from the south-end community of Watts, throngs estimated at several thousand roamed at will through a 150-block area. -

A helicopter televising the scene swooped low over build- ing after building going up in flames, with no fire equipment in sight. Little knots of people stood around and watched.

The helicopter, saying it was under rifle and~ pistol fire from the ground, suddenly soared and darted among the towering col- umns of black smoke visible throughout the Los Angeleg Dasin.

In Thursday night's wild riot- ing, yoyths tossed rocks indis at Negroes and whites alike.

Friday, there were no reports of Negroes being attacked.

Anderson came to Los Angeles te confer with Police Chief Wil- liam H. Parker.

“Law and order must be re stored and the state will assist Los Angeles officials.’ said Anderson, acting governor dur- ing the absence of Governor Edmund G. Brown tn Europe.

“We have not been able te give sufficient protection to the people in the community from

damage to their property _ and.

injury to their persons,” Parker

said.

“To send enough police inta this area to handle it effectively we would have to strip the rest of the city.’

He said police are changing tactics and plan mass arrests under an unlawfu) assembly law. .

Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, then Canada’s defence minister said in a V~J Day statement this country Just then was ready to commit large military resources to the assault on Japan. Sen

“That our Pacific force will not now be. required to go into battle is a reason for deep re-

joicing and solemn _thanksgiv- ing,” he said. Canadian ‘forces had, how-

ever, already played some role in the Pacific theatre. :

Several RCAF squadrons, chiefly transport units, had operated.in.Southeast—Asia,—par- under British command. The Canadian- manned cniiser Uganda served with the British fleet in opera- tions... against. Truk....and__the Japanese home islands.

AT -HONG- KONG

The best known and cer- tainly the most controversial— Canadian military effort in the Pacific came within ‘a month of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It was the Hong Kong expedition, a military disaster that still is dehated.

At the request of the British government, Mr. King agreed In September, 1941, to send two Canadian battalions to help bol- ster the defence of “the 410- square-mile crown colony: off the China coast.

The British request made no mention of an earlier memo from Prime Minister Churchill warning that, in event of Japa- nese attack, ‘there’ is no the slightest chance of holding Hong Kong or relieving it."’.

With the cabinet agreed that Britain deserved Canada’s as “sistance, the government or- dered a force—Roval Rifles of Canada and Winnipeg Grena- diers—to the Far East

The incident set off a national furore at. home and_resulted: im the appointment of a royal com- mission headed by Chief Justice Sir Lyman Duff of the Supreme Court of Canada. Its main con-

. clusion: -The expedition was nel-

ther ill - conceived nor _badly

"managed.

This was directly contrary te charges by George Drew, then premier of Ontario, that the twa

_hbattalions_were sent _ta Hong

Kong .‘‘without even a fighting chance” and amid ‘‘shocking in- efficiency’’ in their manage- ment. The_final word...to_this date, least — came from Col. P. Stacey. the army’s Sard he in his the’ Second

“We can today: that the decision to reinforce Hong Kong was-a-—mistake. The idea that the arrival of two Canadian battalions in the Far East could exercise an‘important deterrent efféct upon Japan was -shown up, in the event, as an egreg- ous absurdity and one which cost the Allied cause the lose of 2,000 soldiers.”

The attack on Pearl Harbar set off. an equally embittered episode within s.Canadian bor: ders

Thousands of Japanese-Cana- dians were uprooted from their homes on the British Columbia Coast. many with no more than 24 hours’ notice, and resettle. ment ‘for .security’s sake” itn the B.C. interior or in Alberta.
