Anti-British rioters flee club-swinging police in Athens Saturday as authorities sought to break up widespread disorders over the British exile from Cyprus of Archbishop Makarios. Rioters, protesting banishment of Cyprus' union-with-Greece movement leader, attacked British, U.S. and Turkish buildings and hotels with English names. Some 162, mostly students, were injured in clashes with authorities.
