Passed away Monday Tension Grips Lakewood, Then Eases After a third day of racial tension at Lakewood High School there was some hope that black and white students would sit down early today to discuss their frustrations. However, tempers flared earlier Tuesday as white students clustered across the street while blacks gathered on the school grounds, with 16 police standing at parade rest in between.

Scuffles eventually resulted in the arrest of a black youth who police say pressed a small caliber gun against the abdomen of a white girl. With a megaphone, Principal Jerald Luther, accompanied by Supt. Nick Mangin, walked across the street to ask whites to go to class. SOME of the white students told Luther they were afraid to return. Blacks around the school went to the gymnasium where Luther and Mangin later asked about 150 of them to name a few representatives and return to school.

They agreed to name conferees, but said they didn't want to return to school. Students exchanged jeers as blacks marched from the school and gathered in groups beyond the school area, but several hundred yards and a police line away from white students. Freddie Crawford, a black businessman and former policeman, led blacks away from the school, directing them east on 54th to Ninth Street and north on Ninth Street. IN THE meantime, about eight black students met with five white students, City Councilman Charles Schuh, School Board Member Calvin Hunsinger and other officials. Mangin said, during a break in the meeting, that after listening to the group he believes the problems at Lakewood are primarily racial, not spring fever.

To deal with frustrations from both sides, Mangin said, he wants to name one or two human relations counselors or ombudsmen who could communicate with students. He said the student group wanted to form a biracial committee within the school. "They realize we cannot communicate with mobs," said Mangin, who earlier had left a meeting of blacks and later indicated that large groups made an exchange of ideas virtually impossible. LUTHER, SUPPORTED by Mangin, said he does not plan to discipline students who have been absent, thus giving amnesty to more than 1,000 students out Tuesday and about 550 missing from classes Monday, The school has about 1,500 students. Luther said he will discipline only students involved in "overt acts" during the racial turmoil at the school.

Late in the day Luther said the student group planned to ask blacks and whites massing at different places Tuesday night to name six representatives each for a meeting earlier this morning. TROUBLE BEGAN at Lakewood Friday after an incident involving either one or two white girls and one black girl. Luther said Tuesday that the students had not been fighting, by their own admission, but had bumped into each other "accidentally on purpose." Clearwater Youth Is Indicted On Murder Count Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER Butler Young, 18, of Clearwater, was indicted by the Pinellas Grand Jury Tuesday for the first-degree murder of a Tampa man April 4. Young is accused of the shooting death of Herman Stephenson, 31, who police said was shot six times in the face and chest outside a Tarpon Springs bar. Young surrendered to police after the shooting, which police said followed an argument.

The grand jury returned the indictment after a half-day session. Indictment Is Refused The panel also announced that it found insufficient evidence to support a murder indictment against Ernest Brown Jr. of St. Petersburg, charged in February with the first-degree murder of Eugene Morrow of St. Petersburg.

Patrolman's Proposal Draws Cool Reception By FRANCES BRUSH of The Times Staff TARPON SPRINGS The Tarpon Springs City Commission was told Tuesday night that for $2,000, Patrolman Robert Hoffman is willing to drop his lawsuit against Police Chief L. J. Buchanan and civil service board members. Hoffman's attorney, Maynard Swanson of Clearwater, said the $2,000 represents the "out-of-pocket" expenses incurred by Hoffman in regaining his job with the police department after he was dismissed by Buchanan with approval of the civil service board. HOFFMAN appealed the civil service board decision to Circuit Court and was reinstated with full pay after a ruling by Circuit Judge Charles M.

Phillips. Swanson said that in bringing the lawsuit against the chief and board members, the young policeman was filing for just recompense from these people, He he (Hoffman) is "distressed and saddened" that his suit has caused concern to officials and citizens. "HE DOESN'T want people to be upset with him. And after much thought, he is willing to eliminate the suit if he can be reimbursed for these outof-pocket expenses," Hoffman said. The attorney said that in making this offer, Hoffman is giving up some valuable rights such as being compensated for the humiliation and other indignities suffered because of the firing.

"He is willing to do this to restore harmony to the commission and the city for the good of all concerned and of the community if you will drop the lawsuit and pass a resolution to make recompense to him." Swanson said. THE IDEA was not enthusiastically accepted by members of the commission, who have been rather outspoken in their concern with the hard feelings and bad publicity created by the lawsuits. "This will take some study and I don't know if I am willing to go along with it," said Mayor George Tsourakis. The mayor said he advised Hoffman against bringing the suit. "I'm tired of being embarrassed by the Police Department and the judge," Tsourakis said.

The only other commissioner to speak on the issue was Nick Mack, who said he did not favor Swanson's proposal. "IT'S LIKE buying your way out and Tarpon Springs shouldn't have to pay for what other people have done," Mack said.

Mack made a motion that the subject be tabled for the next work session. Hoffman and his wife were at the meeting, but did not enter into any of the discussion. The suit brought by Hoffman has caused the city 1 to have to hire a lawyer, Paul Antinori Jr. of Tampa, at a $1,500 fee plus court costs. The commission has since been threatened with an injunction suit by local resident Nick Kavouklis, who said he is opposed to the use of city funds for this purpose.

Treatment Is Urged For Convicted Youth Times Staff Writer CLEARWATER Nick Pessas Jr, 19, of 617 Center Tarpon Springs, was sentenced to prison Tuesday, but a judge recommended that Pessas be hospitalized. The, recommendation may be something of a judicial exercise in futility, because the Florida statute that authorizes treatment instead of prison for convicted drug offenders has never been financed. "I FEEL sure the public and the Legislature are aware of this problem and will take steps to do something about it," Circuit Judge Ben F. Overton told Pessas. "You were involved pretty deeply with drugs for a good two years.

There is nothing you haven't tried or used and rehabilitation for you is no short-term process," Overton told Pessas, who had pleaded for probation, "and a chance to get my life straightened out." His attorney had suggested to the court that long prison sentences are not effective deterrents to addicts who sell narcotics or commit other crimes to support a habit. Pessas pleaded guilty late last year to possession of drug paraphernalia, which his attorney described as "tools of his trade as an addict." The slim dark-haired teenager later pleaded guilty to participating in breaking and entering. the Tarpon Springs Yacht Club. OVERTON sentenced Pessas to six months to five years on each of the charges and ordered that they be served concurrently, Pessas also was sentenced to the alternative of hospitalization for treatment of drug problems "at the discretion" of Florida's Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. The sentence ran contrary to the state's demand that Pessas be given a maximum sentence "as an effective deterrent to others." Innocent Plea Entered In Pasco Driving Case Beach.
