Bloody students' riots in Frankfurt/M: Only three days after Frankfurt/M. police forces cleared four apartment houses which were occupied illegally by students and migrant workers (see also our pictures No. 77546y 1 and 2, of Febr. 22) tumultuary students' riots flared up again in several sections of this city. The rioters were not only students but also political terrorists. Among them a group of 38 ''polit-rockers'' who had come with their motor-bikes from the Ruhrgebiet to join the anarchists in breaking glass windows of office buildings and stores. They also set garbage containers and even cars afire (among them three police cars) and endangered automobilists by hanging ropes across streets to which beer bottles were attached. Police arrested more than 200 persons temporarily. They will face trials on counts of breaking public peace. Many persons were hurt seriously among them 25 police men. These riots are said to be the most severe in Frankfurt/M. ever to take place. Ops.: Scene in Franfurt/M. during the recent tumultuary students' riot
