MARCH 23, 1964 ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH 3A HEARINGTONIGHT FOR TEENAGERS IN HERCULANEUM NIGHT CLUB RAID Several From St. Louis Area Among 12 Boys and Girls Given Summonses Sixteen persons, including 12 underage youths, have been issued summonses to appear before Magistrate Wayne L. Townsend at Hillsboro tonight in connection with a raid at a teen-age near Herculaneum late Saturday. Seven state highway patrolmen and 10 state liquor control agents raided the spot, the Artesian Park Night Club, where they said juveniles and minors have been gathering on weekends to drink beer and liquor.

Raiders took the names and addresses of about 200 young persons in the club. About half of them were from the St. Louis area, the highway patrol said. Mr. and Mrs.

Harrol Hudson, operators of the establishment, were charged with permitting consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors. They live behind the club, a one-story white frame building off U.S. Highway 61-67, about 30 miles south of St. Louis. The place had been under surveillance for a week.

Bartender Booked The bartender, George Litton, of Festus, was booked suspected of supplying liquor to minors. Norman Rudisaile, 22 years old, of Festus, was booked suspected of supplying liquor to a minor, his teen-age date. Also arrested were 10 boys and girls between the ages of 17 and 21 years and a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy from St. Louis. The two juveniles were turned over to juvenile authorities.

Jefferson county prosecuting attorney Brunson Hollingsworth, acting under a new state law, issued criminal summonses charging possession of liquor against the following minors. Jane Basler, 20, Festus; Iva Arnold, 18, Hematite; Adam T. Kaulick, Hematite; Donald Fletcher, 19, 7171 Yates avenue; Marilyn Roth, 19, Crystal City; Larry Hamm, 20, 314 Lancaster road, St. Louis county. Robert Ball, 20, 3659A Meramec street; Ronald Cognac, 20, 6575 Odell avenue; Dorothy Schweigert, 18, Festus, and Michael Becker, 19, Imperial.

Agent Gives Signal A liquor agent inside the club, who had a two-way radio concealed in his clothing, gave the signal to the raiding party to enter the premises. Three other agents, two with their wives, had also entered the club before the raid started to observe the sale of alcoholic beverages 1 to minors. The previous weekend, the State Highway Patrol assigned a trooper and his wife to the establishment. The patrolman reported to Col. Hugh H.

Waggoner, superintendent of the patrol, that liquor was being sold illegally. Waggoner notified Gov. John M. Dalton, who then ordered Hollis Ketchum, supervisor of the department of liquor control, to "clean up" the place. The Hudsons have a beer and liquor setup license.

Martin Luther King Jr. declared today that 1964 must be a "year of response" to the civil rights challenges of 1963. Passage of the civil rights bill must be the first item on the agenda and must be followed by other responses by the Government and people generally, he said. The Rev. Dr.

president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, addressed capacity crowd at a luncheon of the St. Louis Ministerial Alliance at Bishop Tuttle Memorial, 1210 Locust street. Compensatory Treatment Some sort of compensatory treatment is needed for Negroes, the civil rights leader declared, because they have had "negative special treatment for 300 years." Stating that Negroes constitute 10 per cent of the population but 47 per cent of the nation's poverty-stricken, the Rev. Dr. King expressed hope that more funds would be allocated to President Lyndon B.

Johnson's "war on poverty." He said development of some program such as a Bill of Rights reduce for the Negroes" number wouldelfare rolls and bring about a a a a a a a a a decline in illegitimacy rates. Warning of Violence The Rev. Dr. King warned that if southern Senators were allowed to "emasculate" key provisions of the civil rights bill or block it entirely, the nation's civil rights leaders would be hard put to head off violence. Earlier, in a 40-minute sermon at Christ Church Cathedral, Thirteenth and Locust streets, the Rev.

Dr. King said Negroes will achieve equality only if they support freedom for everyone. "The Negro must never seek only his rights, but the climate in which all Americans can enjoy their rights," he told a noonday Lenten service sponsored by the Metropolitan Church Federa- tion, Overflow Crowd An overflow crowd at the cathedral heard the Rev. Dr. King assert that "God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race." The Rev.

Dr. King is co-pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga. Persons attending the service stood wherever space was available. Folding chairs were set as for forward as the altar rail. The.

Rev. Dr. King could not face all his listeners from the pulpit. Referring to a line in the civil Dieter's JEWELERS Easter Gifts that Last in Every Price Range! 4 5204 Gravois Ave. HU.

Martin Luther King noonday Lenten service speaker at Christ rights song "'We Shall Overcome," the Rev. Dr. said that "the Lord will us King, through" until the day when all Americans can live as brothers. "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools," he said. Negroes and whites attended the service, conducted by the Rev.

O. Walter Wagner, executive secretary of the church federation. At another point in his sermon, the Rev. Dr. King cautioned groes not to use "second-class methods to attain first-class citizenship." Plans Purchasing Boycott Later, at a press conference at the federation offices, 1528 cust, the Rev.

Dr. King announced plans to call a meeting of civil rights leaders in 1 September to discuss a purchasing boycott. He said the Southern Christian Leadership Conference would be the guiding force behind a "determined campaign of selective buying" by Negroes if business and industry do not co-operate in providing equal job opportunities. "Negroes have enough buying power to make the difference between profit and he asserted. He said the campaign could be conducted in 20 or 30 cities simultaneously and would be started only if negotiations with employers failed.
