In New York about 7 000 led a six avenue march and final park crowds reached 20 000 as Hartke Abzug and Spock spoke amid scattered clashes and arrests.

Amchitka blast rolls but no danger seen
A five megaton underground nuclear test on Amchitka Island caused a large underground chamber and a strong quake measured 6.75 to 7.4 on the Richter scale. Officials said there was no radiation leakage and no tsunami threat, while opponents questioned the necessity of the test for national defense. The blast occurred five hours after a Supreme Court ruling declined to delay the test.
