Greek-America- Ford, making his first public appearance outside of Washington, was greeted by a crowd of about demonstrators 15,000 clustered in Grant Park outside the Conrad Hilton Hotel where Ford addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars. They shouted "Independent Cyprus," "NATO is a joke" and "Kissinger Get Out" and carried signs saying "Mr. Ford and Kissinger You've been selling guns to kill innocent Cypriots and getting in return opium." For many of the men, women and children it was their first protest. They shouted "get the Turks out" and demanded that Ford "order" a stop to Turkish military activity in Cyprus. But the demonstrators appeared stunned when news came of the slaying of U.S. Ambassador Rodger P. Davies at a riotous demonstration in Nicosia. One of the leaders of the protest, William Marinakos, said, "That's awful. It should never have happened." The demonstrators said they felt betrayed, and believed the U.S. government had permitted Turkey to overrun Cyprus. For some the experience brought pain and anguish. Efi Andrianopoulos, a dental student with relatives in Cyprus, said, "We all pay taxes. All this money goes for Turkish arms. "How do I know my taxes did not kill my brother and my sister," she said tearfully. Dr. Christopher Costis, president of the Congress of American Hellenic Organizations, called Cyprus the Watergate of foreign affairs and blamed Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger for "bungling" the situation. the head and killed. David Grimland, spokesman for the stunned staff at the battered embassy building, said the two victims died "through pure bad luck."

The shooting began after more than 1,500 demonstrators marched down Makarios Avenue named after the island's towards the deposed president embassy compound. "American murderers," their banners said. "Kissinger Killin-ge- r Kissinger the new sul- tan." Greek Cypriot police fought vainly to stop the wild melee but the swift moving crowd pushed on and within minutes, cars parked near the embassy gate were burning and thick clouds of black smoke spiraled into the sky. A mile and a half away, President Glafkos Clerides interrupted a news conference to say he had to "attend to an urgent matter which has come up." As he arrived, demonstrators scaled the embassy fence, ripping down and burning the American flag. An effigy of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger went up in flames while the crowd chanted, CONTEMPORARY BOOK CASES STYLISH CANE WITH THE WOOD UP-DATE- ROCKING D CHAIR IN VINYL 31 7 & CHROME $98 Save $41.

Smoke and tear gas poured into the area, but the crowd still rolled back and forth in front of the embassy gates. A shot rang out, causing some of the crowd to scatter. Another shot was fired. The staccato of rifle fire surrounded the embassy. Gunmen by the gates were cheered as they pumped bullets at the shuttered embassy. Inside the gates, gunmen fired through the embassy front door. Police grappled with uniformed men trying to wrestle away their weapons. Shots rang out from all directions, including some from a building across the street from the embassy. Clerides pushed his way into the embassy grounds and finally into the building. He reappeared to tell newsmen "the American ambassador has been shot. I dont know how badly." Coughing and his words barely intelligible amid the acrid fumes of the tear gas and burning vehicles, he donned a gas mask and reentered the building. He came out again and ran to open the embassy gates. Suddenly, embassy staff members ran from the building carrying a deck chair. On the d chair was INSTANT DECORATING WITH FOAM BACK THROWS Davies' bloodspattered body. They loaded him into a land rover and Clerides ran to help. The vehicle shot out of the compound with the president of Cyprus hanging to the tailgate.
