Summary:

IETNAM SERVICES Although the ground war has recently accelerated, American fighting men take time for an important spiritual duty, the observance of the Easter-Passover season, Field services for all branches and all faiths are conducted and the GI's show a deep reverence. PIER FIRE Three-quarters of 1,000-foot Staten Island Pier is destroyed in a huge flash-fire fed by bales of natural rubber, A Norwegian freighter was damaged and towed away to anchorage. Exact cause undetermined by luckily, no injuries reported ADEN RIOTS Street riots in the British colony of Auen in South Arabia as students protest the forthcoming arrival of U.N. mission which would help in the transition toward national independence. Fifty-five are arrested but strikes and more violence is expected. FORT LAUDERDALE Collegians wind up their annual beach frolic at Fort Lauderdale, and the final scorecard is an improvement, two brief beer-can throwing battles with police are the only major disturbances of the week-long celebration. Some 300 arrests, most non-students, are on minor charges. KITE FLYING The first annual "Kite Carnival" is held on the grounds of the Washington Monument, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution. Some 200 entries, all shapes and sizes, make the day lively. Even a "kite hospital" stands by to repair any kites snared by angry trees. BASKETBALL UCLA routs Dayton in the final game of the NCAA tourney, 79 to 64, Towering Lew Alcindor, the Bruins' 7-foot, 1-inch superstar, scores twenty points in another brilliant effort. UCLA wraps up the tournament championship with a season record of 30 wins and no losses. GIRL POOL PLAYER At the World Pocket Billiards Championships, little 7-year old Jean Balukas wields a mean cue stick. Although too young for competition, her exhibition marks her as a star of the future. She cleans the table like a pint-sized "Minnesota Fats." MOTOR CROSS The top motorcycle riders in Europe are in the saddle for an international motor-cross even. The bikes go flying uphill and down at near record speeds, while the riders risk serious injury from sudden spills.
