Chicago. June 3 -- Rear Admiral Frederick B. Bassett, commandant at the United States naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill., today forbade enlisted men to visit Waukegan, Ill. He took this action because of race rioting between marines, sailors, civilians and negroes, which has broken out there twice this week.
   Only enlisted men having bona fide homes in Waukegan are excepted.
   Elmer M Huckfeldt, a marine of Holstein, Neb., who was shot last night, was at the station hospital today, having a charge of buckshot taken out of him. Rear Admiral Bassett said his wounds were slight. Who fired the shot, he said, was not known.
