tfcru Thurs. to 4 Friday 8 to 8, Saturday 8 to 8 IN He and Companion About to Commit Burglary, Police Say Charles William Davis, one of three prisoners who escaped from the 81-year-old St. Clair county jail in Belleville last Sunday, was arrested early today. Police said Davis and a companion were about to commit a burglary in the Brentwood industrial area. Arrested with Davis was Ben-nie Ray Creason, 31 years old, 1830 block of Timberlake avenue, Wellston.

Police said that Thomas Katz, a night watchman for Laminated Plastics 1601 South Buder Industrial drive, Brentwood, saw two men walking. One was carrying a package. Katz identified himself and called to them to halt. They started running in different directions. Trapped in Corner The man later identified as Creason ran south and trapped himself in a corner at the loading dock of the plastics plant.

Katz drew his pistol and kept the suspect in sight as he called police. Sgt. George McCormick and three other officers arrived. While the others searched the area, McCormick talked to Creason and learned thnt he and Davis had parked an automobile about 1000 feet away at Rose and Witherow avenues. McCormick broadcast a description of the car to the other three officers, Sgt.

Bill Mayer, Detective Sgt. Darold Sullins and Patrolmen George Grace. They went to the car and found Davis lying across the back seat coveiel with a topcoat He surrendered without resistance. At the Brentwood police station, Davis first gave officers an alias, but later admitted he was one of the three prisoners who escaped from the jail in Belleville. He was booked as a fugitive.

Creason was charged in a warrant with possession of burglary tools, which were in the package Katz saw him carrying. He had thrown the package away, but later showed poiice the spot and the tools were recovered. Planning Break-in Creason told officers that he and Davis were planning to break into the Shure-Richard-son 1G01 South Hanley road, Brentwood, when Katz saw them. Davis, 20, a carpenter, of the 200 block of Pittsburgh avenue, East St. Louis, refused to talk about his escape.

He said he did not know where the other two escaped prisoners were. After he fled from the jail, he said, he came to St. Louis, got a hotel room and had been "bumming around" ever since. He met Creason two days ago in a bus station and they planned the Shure-Rickardson burglary. He said he would waive extradition to Illinois.

Those who escaped with Davis and are still at large are Charles Kellidt, 23, of the 1800 block of College avenue, East St. Louis, who was awaiting trial on a homicide charge, and Herbert Jones, 20, of the 2300 block of North Fifty -eighth street, Washington Park, who was being held for the grand jury on a burglary charge.

UN. t-2500 mt Est Bellefonttini Rd. UGIIIVE CAUGH BRENTWOOD Fit I Sessions in City, County Will Be on Proposal to Eliminate Most Toll Calls By RONALD D. WILLNOW i Jefferson City Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch JEFFERSON CITY, March 19 Hearings on Southwestern Bell Telephone company's proposed revision of the St. Louis metropolitan service plan have been set for the St.

Louis area beginning April 11. The Missouri Public Service Commission will conduct the hearings. The commission has suspended the proposed rate and service changes pending the outcome of the hearings, the hearings will be in the Civil Courts Building April 11 and 12 and in the St. Louis County Courthouse in Clayton April 13 and 14. Hearings were scheduled also for Jefferson City beginning April 20.

The company, under investigation by the commission to determine whether its earnings are too high, proposed a change in the metropolitan service plan that would eliminate nearly all toll charges for calls within the St. Louis area. To eliminate the toll charges, the company said, it must increase basic telephone rates. These rate increases would vary from 10 cents for customers in St. Louis to $3.65 in some outlying portions of the county.

The changes would not go into effect for about 18 months, however. The company would need this time to install facilities to eliminate toll calls. The St. Louis hearings were scheduled for the seventh floor, Division 11. of the Civil Courts Building, Twelfth and Market streets, for 9:30 a.m..

1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. April 11, and at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. April 12.

The county hearings will be held in the council chambers of the courthouse, 7900 Forsyth boulevard, at 9:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. April 13, and at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. April 14.

The Bell proposal includes similar changes for the metropolitan service plan in Kansas City. Hearings already have been held in that city. The hearings in the St. Louis area are to determine how Bell 'customers in the area feel about the proposed changes. The Jefferson City hearings will be on the economic justification for the revisions.

Thomas C. Hennings widow of the Senator from Missouri, and her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Dean III.

The prisoner, sentenced to 50 years, has repeatedly written St. Louis judges, contending that he was convicted of first-degree robbery only, no mention of a weapon. Orville Richardson, a St.

Louis attorney, was appointed to represent Nolan. Richardson filed a motion for release on the ground that the case file showed the charge was as stated by Nolan.
