Tears in their
eyes. Guatemala city: Rioting Guatemalan students try in vain to keep
the tear gas fumes from their eyes as they run from the tear gas bombs
thrown by police during demonstrations here March 13th. Military police
battled teen-age mobs here 3/13 in a day of wild street fighting in
which at least 80 persons were wounded and more than 100 were arrested.
The rioters were protesting alleged government frauds in December's
congressional elections and "repressive measures" ordered by the
government under the current state of siege emergency regulations
