PAGE A-2 ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1967 Ban on Parking in New Village Looms A one-hour parking limit in northwest South Roxana is being planned tn discourage all- day parking on village streets by workers connected with the nearby Shell Oil Co. refinery. Large construction work is underway at the refinery and construction workers have been parking on village streets. Aaron Martin. Shell official, said Shell has adequate parking facilities for its own personnel, lie said this is not a Shell prob- lem, but a problem of the con tractors.

The village board of trustees in a three-hour session Friday night, decided to adopt an ordinance al a future dale which would limit parking to an hour Data from IU, tUftTAU COOLER The weather bureau forecasts showers and thundershowers in the Northeast, the upper Ohio Valley, South Carolina, the Gulf Coast ex- Juvenile Names tending into the southern Plains and Plateaus, and in the northern and west central Plateaus Saturday night.

The Telegraph has cooperated with police on this policy. Alton Police Chief John M.

Heafner has instituted such a policy in his department. He was surprised when informed of Streeper's interpre- Duncan, Union Talks Tall Apart' Negotiations between officials of Duncan Foundry and the Steelworkers Union, previously reported as progressing, were termed "falling apart" following a session of the two groups today. Buddy W. Davis, staff representative of the union, told the Telegraph no progress was made and no further meetings have been set. "We (the company and union negotiators) have agreed not to have any more meetings until one party or the other makes a change in its position," Davis said at 11:30 when the meeting broke up at Hotel Stratford.

He said the company had not changed its position on its offers and union had not changed its demands in the old strike over wages, fringe benefits, and a union shop at the plant. In another matter, Davis told the Telegraph the company previously filed an injunction against the union because the latter had indicated it would fine members who crossed the picket line and went to work. This position by the i was termed illegal, Davis said, but this week the Supreme Court upheld the United A Workers right to line its members who crossed the lines at an Allis-Chalmers plant. In that light, Davis a i some of the Steelworkers members have filed charges i the trial committee of the local union. When the union meets Wed- tation of the juvenile court act.

It was his understanding, Heafner explained, that the names and the records are not to be released to the press by police. "He (Streeper) could be right," the Police Chief said. "But it ought to be spelled out more plainly in the act." Streeper pointed out that Illinois has never had a provision prohibiting publication of names of juveniles. In some cases, he noted, the press will not publish a minor's name, upon request of a judge. Although it is the intent of the Juvenile Court Act for juvenile hearings to be private, "They are by no means secret," Streeper said.

The act, he said, specifically irovides that news media can attend juvenile hearings. Streeper, who described himself as an "old-time judge," said that, if the press published he names of juveniles, it would serve as a deterrent to crime. "When a boy is arrested for a crime, his name should be in he paper because it will serve as a deterrent," Streeper said. "The 'juvenile explosion' in crime is caused by the theory hat a juvenile's name should not be mentioned," the judge added. "It protects the kids and gives the impression that a boy can do anything He said some youths get the mpression that "you can't publish their names." The object of the juvenile court act, Streeper said, is to strengthen family ties.

"Maybe," the judge said, "I'm too much of the 'old But I think the names should be published. Maybe I haven't had enough sociology or some other but 1 don't go for that."

"The insurance legislation is a big stop forward," Smith said today.

"But we have distance to go yet to continue (o improve insurance program in Illinois. And that is why we need a commission to study the problems which still exist."

Not Ready to Retire Yet! TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) Hollis Robertson received in hi mail Friday a check for $12,112.12 issued to him and drawn on California's state employes retirement fund. He telephoned the state controller's office in Sacramento and asked a secretary: "Could you find out if the state owed me $12,112.41 and why?"

(Continued From Page 1) out refusal, the minority disagreed. The minority report, written by Justice Tom Clark, pbinted out that in Portland, for example, there were 16,171 at- empted inspections in 1966, and that entry was refused in 2,540 cases, or about one out of six. He called this a large percentage and would place an intolerable burden on the inspection service when required to secure warrants. "Human nature being what it is," Justice Clark said, "we must face up to the fact that thousands of inspections are going to be denied." He envisioned the result as a system of warrants printed up in pads of a thousand or more, with space for the street number to be inserted, and issued by magistrates "in broadcast fash- Ion as a matter of course." Not only would this lead to much paper work, the minority report said, but would destroy the integrity of the search warrant and swamp magistrate courts. Moreover, Justice Clark said in the minority report, under a search warrant a housing inspector can enter a home any time he or day.

Under the existing procedures is contained in Alton's proposed housing ordinance) he pointed out, inspectors can enter only at reasonable times and invariably the convenience of the occupant is considered.
