This was the worst riot in San Jose history. -San Jose Police Chief J. Raymond Blackmore The sign read, l don't want to know the way to San Jose. The reference was clearp newspapers across the country had reported that the Presidential limosine had been 'stoned' the night before in San Jose. The incident itself was not so clear. State Senator Alfred E. Alquist, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, issued a statement asserting that evidence was mounting that the incident was deIiberately staged . . .to provide a phony law and order smokescreen. Louis Bosco, president of the Santa Clara Labor Council, leveled the strongest attack calling the disorder a hoax and a conspiracy at the highest level involving the President, the Vice-President, Senator Murphy and the Governor of California. Senator George Murphy, though, called the demonstration a planned attack led by experts. He claimed that if the crowd had been able to get at the President's car, We lNixon, Reagan, and Murphyl would've been torn apart piece by piece. San Jose Police Chief J. Raymond Blackmore was quoted as having said, How we got him lthe Presidentl out of there I don't know, it must have been a miracle. lVlost newsmen agreed that only a small number of missles were thrown at the President's car. Buses carrying members of the press and official guests were apparently subject to a brief but furious attack, numerous windows were broken out by rocks and several boards were thrown at the buses but did little damage. Some demonstrators were reportedly maced. One thing, though, was perfectly clear. The President was not likely to return to San Jose in the near future. 28
