Hundreds of leftists protesting a two-day meeting of a rightist political group clashed with club-wielding police in Hamburg, West Germany. Police said they arrested 10 demonstrators who tried to prevent people from entering the convention of the Conservative Action group, which seeks the release of imprisoned Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess and the expulsion of foreigners. Police said an elderly man collapsed and died after reaching safety behind a police cordon at the meeting.
