While the Cerebral Palsey Foundation presented the award to the governor, the crowd outside protested his actions in the recent Attica State Prison riot inwhich 43 inmates and guards were shot down by police forces. After two hours of chanting and parading behind police barricades, a column of demonstrators broke through the lines and marched southward along 6th Avenue. Several bank windows were broken, red paint was spattered on the sidewalks, and at least three people were taken into custody. As well-dressed patrons of the hotel looked on, members of the -crowd marched in a circle between the police lines and chanted, 'Rokefceller Murderer,--Tear Down the Jails!" Amidst the red, green and orange banners, proclaiming Rockefeller atrocities, small bands of people circulated leaflets and leftist newspapers, while other groups stood around and stared at the monolith structure of the New York Hilton. The mood of controlled hostility was punctuated several times by firecracker APPREHENDED: Police am*est demonstrator in front of RCA building last night durinl rafy agains Governor Rockefelcr. explosions.
