Zablocki said today his House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee will investigate fully whether United States intelligence agents were "negligent" in failing to warn of the rioting in Formosa. Zablocki said he intends to call government witnesses to an open session soon to explain the causes of the riots, climaxed by the sacking of the U.S. embassy and U.S. information agency at Tapei, Formosa, last Friday by an an gry mob. Official figures show there are about 10,000 Americans on Formosa, including 1,100 businessmen, missionaries and others not employed by the U.S. government.

A rainstorm and heavy police reinforcements appeared to have forestalled a large-scal- e protest, d but a group of 50 students had a second angry clash wfth poHce in front of the embassy tonight. The students converged on the embassy gate in a solid body in an attempt to crash police lines and enter the compound. The Japanese police ordered a charge and drove the students more than 100 yards down a hill. The students held a rally and promised another demonstration "in a few days." Shortly before the rainstorm student reinforcements arrived in a bus owned by the Association of Metropolitan Teachers. At the same time Japanese police opened embassy gates and nine embassy cars shot into the street loaded with embassy rmployes. The students did not attack. An embassy official talked with some of the students but would not comment. He appeared after police had fought off tlie early group of 100 students. The students joined in singing rousing and defiant "labor songs" and chanted "We want Mac Ar thur." U. S.
