RIOT OVER BEATLES
Police Cells Packed (N.Z.P. A. -Reuter— Copyright) HAMBURG (West Germany), June 28. Hamburg police cells were packed with Beatle fans today, and police exhibited weapons used when they rioted last night-including a leather whip, bayonets and tear-gas bombs. Thousands of yelling youths, without tickets for a performance of the British pop group, battled with 400 policemen who tried to dear them from the streets.
The youths attacked with tear-gas, and police fought back with truncheons, and water cannons. The mob smashed windows in Hamburg’s main shopping centre, broke tram windows, and tore down trolley wires. Forty youths were arrested. Police said that since the city police station cells were packed, the first six would be put on trial today. The others would be released and tried later.
House Burgled.—The theft of £3O from a burgled house in Dacre street was reported to the Christchurch police yesterday.
