Massive Armed Police Patrols In Watts After Shootings

Police searched for suspects in a Monday night liquor store shooting that wounded two men, amid fears of a larger race clash between Negroes and Mexican-Americans near Jordan High School. Patrols covered Watts streets as reports of rock throwing and a bottle attack persisted and one youth cried police brutality. The incident followed a knife fight earlier and left a Negro bystander unhurt in a shattered phone booth window.

Watts Violence Spurs Call for Constructive Change

After nights of mob disruption in Watts, police report fewer people on the streets amid chilly weather. McCone urged Negro leaders to shift from agitation to cooperation, while fires and a stabbing were noted but not tied to the unrest. Authorities maintained patrols and barricades as investigations continued.
