SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 1969 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3A Council Fights Krey Boycott Summer Court Sessions Ease City Jail Jam ft tf If i your local store, and if they have withdrawn Krey products from their shelves due to the boycott, demand that they make Krey products available to you." Led by Mrs. Viola Anderson, a member of the council's board of directors, 14 persons handed out the leaflets during a two-hour period, Mrs. Kiel said. Scores of groceries have stopped buying Krey products under pressure of the boycott, which was extended last week to the East Side.

The Black Alliance has demanded that the company pay 23 wildcat strikers -who were fired last February for the period they were without jobs, ad give them another $2500 each for "suffering their families." Krey, which restored the workers to their jobs several months denied discrimination in tb.e matter. i'-'-t Booked In Hotel Fire An employe of the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel was booked yesterday suspected of attempting to start a fire in the hotel's Tenderloin Room. The restaurant has been closed since a. fire last December. 4 The suspect was identified as Harry Lewis, of the 5200 block of Enright.Ave..

The white Citizens Council has opened a campaign against the boycott of Krey meat products by the United Black Alliance. Leaflets urging purchase of Krey products were distributed Friday night in a shopping area in the 2700 block of Cherokee Street, a spokesman said yesterday. Mrs. Shirley Kiel, a member of the executive committee of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Citizens Council, said more than 2000 leaflets were handed out, along with the group's "citizens' manifesto." The manifesto calls for an end to church demonstrations such as those conducted by black militants.

"Prevent honest working men from losing their jobs," the leaflets on Krey meat urge. Referring to Black Alliance charges of racial discrimination by Krey, the, leaflets "The fact is, Krey has been one of the leading companies in giving in to demands made by Negro employes, even going so far as to discriminate against white employes." The leaflets urge that a "handful" of Negro militants not be allowed to drive Krey out of the city and thereby cause men to lose their jobs. "The time has come to draw the line," the leaflets state.

He apparently did not think the resolution was strong enough.

"There's no question about it, the jail would be much worse off if it weren't for this program," he said. "The only problem is that the number of new' prisoners more than makes up for the number we are able to handle." 48 Tried, 68 Charged During the week of Aug.

11, he said, .48 confined suspects were tried or released, but during the same week 68 persons were arrested and jailed. "So we gained 20 prisoners," Judge McFarland said. "But at least we had 48 fewer than we would have had otherwise." Next week, when the courts resume their regular schedule, 40 or 50 confined cases are to be put at the top of each week's docket. It is hoped that this will continue a fairly rapid movement of prisoners out of the jail. One problem, Judge McFarland said, will be the continuing necessity schedule trials for persons not in jail.

Their trials cannot be postponed indefinitely in order to clear the jail, he said. Free on Bond "We've got to a I the cases of people on bond," he said. "Some of them might be serious offenders who are loose. What about rapists? The 'phantom rapist' suspect was free on Judge James said he believed the concentration on confined suspects might not end the jail problem, but "it's bound to help relieve the pressure." "If we didn't do it the jail would be loaded to the gills," he said. Judge James said it was hoped that some civil court judges might be able to help by handling criminal cases as their time permits.

He stated emphatically, however, that the jail would remain basically inadequate in the face of increasing "The jail was built in 1906, when the population of the city was something like 400,000 and the crime rate was much lower than it is now," he said. "The crime rate has doubled since 1963 how can a 1906 jail possibly be adequate? We're going By GERALD MEYER "Of the Post-Dispatch Staff However serious the crowding XCity Jail may be, the situation would have been much 'worse had circuit courts not broken with precedent this summer and remained in session to trials for jailed suspects. city's prisoner population, -which far exceeds the number "of persons the jail was designed to handle, has been held below the i a level in recent weeks only because many inmates were given trials that formerly would have been delayed until the fall. Trials of 350 Complete figures for the summer work have not been compiled, but judges estimate that hy i their courts open tyiey were able to complete the trials of more than 350 persons. Those 350 suspects are now free or in prison.

If court activity had been drastically curtailed for summer vacations, as it has been in past years, those who could not make bail would be compounding a problem that some officials regard as already intolerable. "If the courts had not put out this extra effort," Circuit Judge Harry James told the Post-Dispatch, "the jail would be bursting, at the seams. We're going to continue to exert extra effort Until we can get things down to a 'manageable level." During the last month, Judge James has handled only cases involving ts in jail those unable to post bond or, in Relatively few cases, those for whom no bond had been set. Other judges working during July and August also have con-concentrated on trials for confined defendants. The summer sessions have only relieved the jail prob lem, not, solved it.

Last Thursday the circuit court grand jury reported that the jail was flange 1 overcrowded and structurally deficient. Judge Alvin J. McFarland, who is working during the summer session, said several judges agreed earlier this year that the July and August sessions would be necessary. Judge McFarland said he be-lived that with continued effort the courts might be able to stem inmates largely eliminate Smog Like 'Bowl Of Milk' To Pilot Landing Here relief when a breeze blew the stuff out Thursday afternoon." Pilots frequently see concentrations of pollution in highly industrial areas, Col. Cannon said.

He noted that such concentrations frequently occur at the municipal airport. Gateway Arch to end bickering within the organization. William Steele, a leader of the libertarians, called Butler a publicity seeker "who is in no way relevant to what's happening in YAF. 'End To Purging' "Only a genuine alliance of power between the factions and a division of responsibility and an end to purging can unite YAF," Steele said. In the first test of strength between the traditionalists, who follow a standard conservative philosophy, and the libertarians, who give individual freedom of action priority over the will of almost any organization, the traditionalists easily prevailed.

The libertarians challenged the seating of eight at-large delegates from Pennsylvania, charging that they had been selected at a secret meeting in violation of YAF rules. Switched Dates The libertarians charged that Jay Parker, Pennsylvania state chairman of YAF, first set a date for a state executive board meeting for choosing the delegates. Then, they said, Parker called another meeting of the board without notifying libertarian supporters. Parker readily admitted that he had reorganized the board to eliminate the libertarians because they would not co-operate with him. He said he had the authority to do this under rules.

About 60 per cent of the 723 delegates, in a standing vote, backed the seating of the eight Pennsylvanians. The convention then elected by acclamation David A. Keene as national chairman of the organization. Keene, a 24-year-old law student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, had no opposition. Keene has served on the YAF national executive board for five years.

In addition to his studies as a third-year law student and his duties as YAF national chairman, Keene plans to run for the Wisconsin State Senate from his home area, Ft.

He said simply: "I'm against the draft." Houffman apparently thought the resolution for eliminating the! draft should have been stronger. Delegates adopted a resolution censuring him after he burned the draft card replica.

James A. Linen, National YAF treasurer, charged Houffman with being a member what linen called an "-anarchist fringe" of the YAF. The demonstration appeared to graphically portray the split between traditionalist and libertarian factions at the convention. The factions got together long enough yesterday to eject an outsider who had attempted to bring them together before they elected David A. Keene of the University of Wisconsin the new YAF chairman.

Ed Butler, who is not a YAF member, had proposed that a solidarity march be held at the Officials of universities were warned last night that they must control disruptive campus demonstrations by members of the new left. The admonition came in a resolution approved by the conservative Young Americans for Freedom who are holding their national convention in St. Louis. The resolution "adopts a policy of active resistance to the efforts of radical groups to disrupt and destroy our nation's educational institutions." It said the YAF resistance could take the form of law suits, injunctions or physical confrontation with what the conservative students termed "extremists." Brian Steffens, a YAF delegate from Ohio, said the resolution did not mean that YAF would provide a private army to end campus unrest "but we are prepared to defend ourselves when no one else will." Resolutions urging a military victory in Vietnam and an end to the draft also were approved by the convention, being held at Stouffer's Riverfront Inn. After the draft resolution was Smog-shrouded St.

No buildings, nothing," Col. Cannon explained. "The ground was visible directly beneath the plane, which isn't any help in the flyer said. Cannon, commander, of the 131st Fighter Group, Lambert-St. Louis Field, viewed the pollution on flights to Terre Haute and Kansas City Wednesday and Thursday morning.
