Earl Dubois Jones, 29, of 729 Silver whom police said was picked up on the basis of a composite sketch which people identified, was charged by Madison County officials with armed robbery in the Saturday night stickup of Melville Dairy Store Alton detectives.

who have been working on both robbery cases, coincidentally came up with both suspects Wednesday night. Thompson was arrested after a series of events which started with a purse snatching at the Keystone Hotel, 402 E. Broadway last night. A clerk in the hotel who turned her back to use a telephone told police that her purse was snatched and the description fit that of Thompson. who was picked up a short time later by police on Henry Street.

Meanwhile detectives, who had secured permission from Madison County to work on the Melville Dairy Store robbery, came up with a composite sketch of the robber for store cierk Mrs. Charlotte Cooper. As Mrs. Cooper looked over different composites of the suspect, Police Lt. Robert Churchich noticed the similarity between one of the and Jones.

Police picked up Jones at Fifth and Ridge streets and after being advised of his rights, Mrs. Cooper identified him in a police lineup arranged by detectives. Jones was charged with pulling a revolver on Mrs. Cooper and demanding money from the Melville Dairy cash register. Mrs.

Cooper told police she was ordered to put the money in a grocery sack and then she was ordered to a back room of the store where she waited until he left. East Side could avoid penalties suspects EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP)- The top education official in Illinois says that if striking teachers and the East St. Louis School Board agree to a court test of their disputed contract items, the school district will not be penalized although some items have been ruled illegal.

Ray Page, state superintendent of public instruction, offered the compromise Wednesday in response to a telegram from Charles Lawson, head of the East St. Louis chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). One of the disputed contract points provides for deduction of union fees from paychecks of nonunion teachers. Two others grant teachers one day of personal leave per year and the teachers union president 15 days a year plus one hour per school day to conduct union business. The school district was placed on probation last year because these provisions were contained in its contract with teachers.

The items also have been among the basic demands this year of more than 800 teachers who were ordered to halt a strike and return to work last week in a contract dispute. Lawson sald that the NAACP would seek a declaratory judgment on the items, which have prevented any progress in the teachers dispute with the school board, if the teachers agreed to work under last year's contract and Page would lift liability for the school district. In reply to Lawson's wire, Page said "if such terms are submitted to the courts for declaratory judgment during the school year which the agreement is in force, they (the terms) will not be subject to cOnaideration relative 10 recognition status of the district for that year." Weather spurs advance in soybean futures CHICAGO (AP) The weather influenced buying of grain and soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade Thursday with soyteans leading a nearly general advance. Trade was fairly active and mixed through the first hour before the pace slowed down. Overnight rain over sections of the country where soybeans are being harvested was the big factor in local trade.

Speculators reasoned that the precipitation would slow down field work. Many sections are expected to get more rain during the day and on Friday. Some of the beans buying also was a carryover from the previous session when an advance of some 4 cents was posted. Soy oil and meal displayed some early strength but eased a few points later under local profit taking. Corn futures were similarly affected by weather buying.

advancing 1 cent a bushel in the nearby options. Oats attracted some early buying interest but it dissipated as the session continued. Some anticipated wheat export business influenced the buying of futures. Some short covering was noted on the advance. After about an hour.

wheat was to cents a bushel higher. December 1.72⅛: corn was to 1 cent higher. December 1.53½: oats were lower to higher. December cents and soybeans were lower to 1 cent higher, November 2.96⅝. Administration revises imported meat quota WASHINGTON (AP) The Nixon administration, faced with the failure of its move against foreign beef imported through Canada, revised Wednesday the quota on imported meat.

Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin said the quota was raised 20 million Profit taking pulls stock market down for second day Livestock prices at East St. Louis By DON KENDALL AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department says demands for juicier beef sandwiches at fast-food shops are raising questions over how much water should be used to make them seem that way. Adding water to some meat and poultry is allowed as long as it is part of a mixture intended to improve the food's tenderness or taste. It cannot be added if the only objective is to increase its weight or size.

But the regulations have not spelled out to government satisfaction the practice of adding water or oil mixtures to partially cooked meat demanded by the nation's thriving drive-in and quicksnack trade. These products--beef was cited as an example--are treated during processing with a flavoring or ienderizing solution, partly cooked and then passed on to the retail food shops. At the drive-in, cooking can he completed quickly and because of the earlier treatment- the meat is juicier for sandwich customers. Current regulations generally limit the extra water or oil mixtures to three Obituaries Mrs. Helen G.

NEW YORK (AP) In another surge of profit taking like the one that characterized Wednesday's early activity, stock market prices slipped in active trading this afternoon.

At noon the Dow average of 30 industrial stocks was off 2.74 points at 780.94. Declines led advances more than 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Analysts called the profit taking normal after the recent rally gains which sent the Dow up more than 20 points. They also said this behavior was intensified by disappointment over Communist rejection of President Nixon's proposal of a standstill cease-fire in Vietnam. Other brokers noted that the upward surge in the Dow probably had peaked because of a host of problems facing the economy and the country now.

Among these are an expected decline in threequarter carning. continuing corporate liquidity problems, and the threat of involvement by the United States in the Middle East conflict. Rails were up. Motors and mail order-retail were mixed. All other stock categories were off.

Big Board prices included Federal National Mortgage, off at Handleman, off at Getty Oil, off at 68; Coca Cola, off at 78: Bethlehem Steel. off at 225: and Atlantic Richfield, up at 601. 12 selected stocks Following are today's noon quotations of New York Stock Exchange issues research has indicated are widely held 1 in the Alton area as supplied to the Alton Telegraph by Newhard Cook from its Alton branch office.
