Thursday, july 17, 1969 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3i County Landfill To Be Closed, Compounding Trash Problem One of four sanitary landfills in St. Louis County has been ordered to stop accepting refuse after Aug. 31 because the 55-acre site has been filled, it was learned today. The decision to close the Sanitary Landfill, 12790 Marine Avenue, is expected to lead to higher refuse charges most county residents from Natural Bridge Road south through Kirkwood and Crestwood.

More than 1000 tons of trash and garbage are dumped daily at the landfill by municipal and private haulers. The fill is one of the largest in the metropolitan area. The situation will be compounded early next year when the a Enterprises, landfill at 2497 Driftwood Lane, reaches capacity and is forced to close. This will leave only two landfills Westlake Quarry inBridgeton and a county-owned site in Jefferson Barracks to handle the bulk of county refuse. Refuse from southern sections of the county is usually taken to landfills in Jefferson County.

a 1 in the north county travel to sites in Illinois and others carry their refuse through St. Louis to fills on the East Side. Plans Are Completed Youth Patrol Proposed A youth corps to patrol the Pruitt-Igoe apartments in an effort to reduce vandalism, stealing and the harassment of police was proposed to Mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes today. The proposal came shortly after police and firemen complained of being bombarded with stones and other debris by mobs of youths at public housing developments.

Terangi Speed, a housing specialist with the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development and a resident of Pruitt-Igoe, said he and a group of apartment residents were trying to form a corps of 200 to 300 youth to police the area. Ten unemployed youths have volunteered, he said, to enlist others in the project. Poiice encountered an unruly mob early today in the Cochran apartment project, 122-3 North Ninth Street. Officers were forced to abandon an investigation of a murder when the mob of more than 100 persons began throwing stones and bottles a them and shouting abuses. Yesterday, St.

Louis firemen threatened not to respond to fire alarms at Cochran and Pruitt-Igoe apartments unless they were given police protection against and possible bodily injury. At Cochran Apartments, John Thomas Ligons, 21 years old, 1112 North Eighth Street, was shot to death in a play area at the back of the apartments. He was pronounced dead of a bullet wound of the head at City Hospital. When police attempted to clear the area so they could For Amusement Hit it William M. Nichols, attorney for Metropolitan Sanitation Haulers, an association of most of the private refuse haulers in the area, told the Post-Dispatch today that the closing of is posing a critical threat to the industry.

He warned that refuse-hauling charges in the county would increase by 25 cents to $1 a month in the next several months to offset higher operating costs incurred because of the closing and other factors. Most haulers charge residential customers between $2.25 and $4.50 a month now. Voters in the county approved in 1965 a $5,900,000 bond issue to finance construction of two incinerators, but construction has been blocked by court ation. County officials said that it would take at least two years to build the incinerators once the construction is approved by the Missouri Supreme Court. When the two facilities are completed, they are expected to be forced to operate at capacity to meet the quantity of refuse generated each day.

Also facing the refuse haulers is the new county leaf-burning ordinance that will go into effect this fall. Assistant County Health Commissioner H. Clifford Mitchell, who ordered the fill closed, estimated that 25,000 tons of leaves are produced in the county each year. However, the City of Clayton alone collected 4500 tons last fall. Nichols told the Post-Dispatch that his association predicts that leaf collection this fall could fill Busch Memorial Stadium one and a half times.

Haulers are worried that as the Westlake landfill is forced to accept the refuse now hauled to dumping charges will be increased from the present $6 a load. They note also that Westlake is about five miles north of meaning an additional 10-mile trip for trucks from the south. The closing will also be felt in municipalities that operate their own hauling service and dump at City Manager Charles T. Henry of University City estimated that the closing would cost his city $25,000 more a year. The rise will be passed on to University City residents, who began paying for the service only this year.

Robert Sammelman, co-owner of cited the pressing need for more landfills in the county. He asserted that properly operated fills were not nuisances and benefitted the community by making rugged sites usable as building and recreation areas. Sammelman charged that the county has adopted a policy of denying all permits for new landfills. He said, for example, Youngsters always seem to know more than anyone else about cooling off during the withering heat of summer. Yesterday dozens of youths like the three pictured above scrambled into just about any available puddle or pond.

Louis County was announced today by a Texas development corporation. The park, to be called Six Flags Over Mid-America, will be built on a site east of Allen-ton road and north of Interstate 44. Work is to begin this week and the park is expected to be completed in the summer of 1971. The announcement was made here by Angus G. Wynne chairman of the board of directors of the Great Southwest which will develop the park.

The firm operates sim-iliar amusement centers in Texas and Georgia. Its headquarters are in Arlington, Tex. Wynne said that his firm had purchased 502 acres at the Allenton road location. About 200 acres will be used for the amusement park, with the remainder to be held for possible later development. The park is planned as a group of connected amusement areas.

Six theme areas will be based on "colorful or exciting eras in the development of St. Louis and the Midwest." The flags of the park's name will be those of Spain, France, Great Britain, the State of Missouri, the State of Illinois, and the United States. One ticket will entitle visitors to use all rides and visit all shows and exhibits. The park will be open about 130 days a year and will be staffed by high school and college students. Wynne said the site was selected because it "offers maximum attendance potential." He said the fact that more than 70,000,000 persons lived within 500 miles of St.

Louis was an important factor in the final decision. An application for a permit to use the property as an amusement park site was made to the St. Louis County Planning Commission early in April. Later that month, the commission issued a conditional hottest day. Powell, a cdd, wet rag tied about his a sells ice cream downtown.

As the heat increased, thousands of persons switched on their air conditioners, turned on electric fans or opened refrigerator doors for cool drinks. A Union Electric spokesman said, "The teniperaktre is supposed to reach 98 degrees today.

This time of year, some police cars are equipped with special wrenches for turning off fire hydrants turned on by youngsters. How the youngsters do it isn't really known. Sometimes sympathetic policemen let the hydrant run a while before shutting it off.

Great Southwest is a holding company that controls two subsidiaries, Six Flags, and Macco Corp. The subsidiaries will develop the park, with the parent company overseeing their operations. Great Southwest is controlled by Penn Central which reportedly owns 80 per cent of it.

One of the investigating officers, however, talked with Ligons's brother, Frank, who lives in the apartments. He said he was getting ready for bed when he heard a shot and someone yelled up to his window that, his brother had been shot. He hurried down to the play area and found his brother lying beside a fence bleeding from his nose and mouth. A person whom Frank Ligons did not recognize told him that his brother had a pistol and when another man pushed him the weapon discharged and the bullet struck John Ligons in the head.

alpha MErAAEIDAH? To Other By CHARLES M. BUNCE Post-Dispatch Religion Editor DENVER, July 17 A declaration of pulpit and altar fellowship with the American Lutheran Church has been approved by delegates to the biennial convention of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The issue, which split the Synod and threatened to bring about a walkout by liberal pastors and liberal church leaders, was adopted by a vote of 522 to 438. One delegate abstained. The declaration had been opposed by the Rev.

Dr. Jacob A. O. Preus of Springfield, 111., who was elected earlier as the new president of the Synod. After the vote was announced this morning, the Rev.

Dr. Preus declared: "The Synod has spoken. We must work now for the unification of our church, for the healing of the wounds which exist and for the spreading of the Gospel." The Rev. Oliver R. Harms, ousted as Synod president in a bitter struggle with the Rev.

Dr. Preus, expressed pleasure that the declaration had been adopted. He and other liberal church members had pushed for its passage. A number of young pastors, including several from the St. Louis area, had threatened to leave the church if the declaration had not been adopted.

The Synod decided yesterday to keep its national headquarters in St. Louis. The accommodations for headquarters in the Lutheran Building at 210 North Broadway hav considered inade- quatefor several years The Synod owns a large tract of land in Chicago, and some con- sideration had been given to novtng the headquarters there. In the same resolution that authorized that headquarters be kept in St. Louis, the Synod's board of directors was encour- aged to find a site and erect ad- equate facilities in the St.

The American Lutheran Church, third largest Lutheran denomination in the United States, has voted to declare pulpit and altar fellowship with the Missouri Synod, and also with the larger (3,300,000 members) and more liberal Lutheran Church in America. Pulpit and altar fellowship, which most American Protes-i tant denominations has a special meaning to Lu-I therans, who emphasize doctrin-! al unity as the basis of fellowship.

It involves allowing mem- uei ui eiiiier uenommauon ton take Communion at the Altar of the other church, and permitting pastors in either church to preach or accept calls in the other church. In a historic action yesterday, the Missouri Synod departed from its previous policies and voted to permit women to vote and hold certain offices in the church. In the past, the denomi-nation has always restricted voting rights to its male members. Women are still restricted from holding the pastoral office or exercising authority over men in the church. Inapeaceful and moving demonstration yesterday, Negro members of the Missouri Synod about 600 of the more than 900 delegates out of Currigan Exhi-b i i Hall to "listen to the sounds of the city."
