The Governor called Carmody a man wiih excellent executive ability. He is Democratic committeeman of the Sixteenth ward. In naming Carmody, Gov. Dalton withstood pressure to name a Negro tor the first time to a major elective office in St.

Louis. It had been reported that Curt's Crawford, a Negro and chief trial assistant to Circuit Attorney Daniel P. Reardon had strong backing for the position. The Governor said Carmody had some political and personal indorsements, but, he asserted, he never makes appointments to policymaking positions on the basis of political recommendations.

HOUSE MEMBER ARRESTED AT 29 Others Taken Into Custody When Demonstrators Block Police Truck By CURTIS STADTFEI.D Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Thirty-two persons, including two St. Louis aldermen and a member of the State Legislature, were arrested yesterday in another unruly demonstration at the Jefferson Bank and Trust Co. Nine juveniles were among those arrested.

The aldermen are William L. Clay Twenty-sixth ward, and Lawrence E. Woodson Twentieth ward. Arrested with them was Representative Hush J. White Tenth district.

The three were taken into custody when they sat on the bumper of a police truck on the bank parking lot, so that it could not be moved. When police asked them to get out of the way. they refused. Detective Glenn Pauly suffered a back injury when he was pushed into the path of a police truck being used to take arrested demonstrators to headquarters. Police reported that Pauly was facing a crowd soulh of Washington boulevard when the truck approached from behind him.

As the crowd surged, he was pushed in the way of the truck. 150 In Demonstration About 150 persons took part in the demonstration, the sixth of a daily series in an effort to obtain more jobs for Negroes at that bank. The demonstration began at the usual time, a few minutes before 4 o'clock. It was limited to picketing, with handclapping, shouting and signing, until about 5:15. Then a few persons marched onto the bank's park ing lot and began circling the drive-in windows.

Many others soon followed them. That marching was allowed to continue for a few minutes, and then the bank president, Dillon J. Ross, asked Maj. Walter Eitz-inan, in charge of the detail of policemen in plain clothing, to arrest those on the lot for trespassing. Carried on Stretchers When told they were under arrest, the demonstrators lay down and were carried to police vehicles on stretchers.

The crowd included some while persons and many teenagers. Leaders lost control of the crowd after the first arrests were made. On the bank's public address system a court order of Aug, 30, forbidding mtenerence witn us business, was again read but the sound was almost drowned out by singing. Many marchers put their fingers in their ears as the order was being read, saying, "We don't want to hear it."

The number represents only slightly more than 6 per cent of the llfto vacancies listed under the plan adopted by the school board last July to help eliminate de facto segregation. The Rev. John J.

Hicks, new president of the school board, said he was surprised at the small number of pupils who took advantage of the otter. Expects More Next Year It is possible, he said, that the plan has not yet become widely known among parents and children. He said he expected a greater number of applications next year. Of the 77 requests. 40 were for hih school transfers and 28 for elementary High school tranfsers will take place at the beginning of the second semester in January.

Seven of the elementary applications were for schools or classes in which there are no vacancies. These applicants have been told of other vacancies. Four were ineligible because they were not enrolled in public schools. Of the 17 remaining elemen- tary applicants, 10 were white cnilaren and seven were Ie- groes.

Ross asserted that ministers should condemn the demonstrations as sinful and shameful, instead of indorsing them. The Negro physicians who picketed the bank should "search their consciences" because no group resists interference with its own affairs as strongly as the medical profession, he said. Earlier, Eugene Tournour, Midwest field secretary of the termed the bank's position "Alice-in-Wonderiand logic." Hiring Assailed Tournour contended that the bank had not hired a Negro in the last seven years. Only two of its SO present employes are Negroes, he said. Negroes with college educations have been denied employ- ment on the ground that they had no banking experience, but while applicants with less educa- lion and no experience have been hired, Tournour asserted.

"The practice at the bank con- tradicts the alleged policy," he declared. Tournour said that there were six job vacancies at the bank when CORE made its original demand Aug. 14 that four Ne- groes be employed. CORE and other Negro groups first sought to negotiate with the bank six vears ago, he said. mm: SELF- SERVICE DISCCUNT DEPARTMENT STOKES HAMPTON VILLAGE PLAZA TOWN COUNTKY MALL EAST ALTON, ILLINOIS Open Doily :30 to 10 p.m.

"We were at first disgusted with the demonstrations," Mc-Connell said. "Now we are angered. When aldermen and ministers and physicians picket your bank and block police vehicles, we wonder what our sreiety is coming to." Dillon's voice showed emotion as he read a prepared statement declaring that there would he no compromise with the demonstra- tors. "The issue is whether or not any individual, business or in- stiiution in a free society should submit to threat or acts of vio- lence," Ross declared. "If we bend our knees to these threats and to the daily violence which we have all experienced, we would be guilty of an unpardnn- able sin against every person and institution in our city.

"If threats such as we have witnessed at Jefferson Bank are to become a wav of life in our city, no individual, Negro or white, will evpr be safe again." Ross said that it was time for responsible people of the community to demand a halt to threats and violence at the bank. Anonymous telephone callers have threatened him and his family and have said the bank would be bombed if CORE'S job demands were not met, Ross said. McConnell said that business the bank had decreased because potential borrowers are reluctant to enter the building. Some accounts have been lost, but others have been opened, and the major business los.s has been in lending, he said. "We are in the position of having to consider laying off workers, rather than hiring additional ones," he said.
