Hundreds of police and demonstrators clash during a tense three hours Saturday as the Ku Klux Klan and African American civil rights group attempted to hold simultaneous rallies in a city park that has been the sire of racial confrontations sine the 1960's. At least eight police officers were injured and 17 persons arrested in and around Marquette Park. In between in a third confrontation police on foot and horseback kept hundreds of angry young whites from attacking about 20 young African Americans who tried to march into the portion of the mile square park reserved for the Klan's white power rally
