BOX 875348. Los Angeles, California 90087. Phone 818 990 0780 Lawyer Held in Plan to Push Drugs in Jail From United Press International A lawyer suspected of distributing drugs in Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles by providing the narcotics to inmate clients was arrested after a two-month undercover investigation, sheriff's officials have reported. Lawrence Elkins, 35, was arrested late Thursday at a bar in South-Central Los Angeles, Sheriff's Deputy Van Mosley said. He was booked at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center on a charge of intent to distribute cocaine in a jail facility.

An investigation of Elkins by the sheriff's Major Narcotics Violation Detail was begun two months ago when jailers were tipped off that the lawyer was "facilitating the delivery of narcotics to jail inmates," Mosley said. An undercover deputy became acquainted with Elkins and an associate, whose name was withheld, and was able to provide Elkins, through the associate, with two ounces of rock cocaine, Mosley said. On Wednesday, Elkins appeared in Municipal Court at the downtown Criminal Courts Building as attorney for jail inmate Dwayne White, 26. According to information obtained in the investigation, Elkins intended to pass the drugs to White so they could be distributed in jail, but the delivery was not made due to a problem in packaging, Mosley said. "Elkins later contacted the undercover deputy and provided the deputy with the narcotics contraband with instructions to repackage it for later delivery," Mosley said.

The lawyer was arrested before the new delivery was made. Meanwhile, White pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges that he brought marijuana into the Men's Central Jail on Oct. 12 after a meeting with Elkins in the attorney room of the jail. He now faces sentencing. No charges were made against Elkins in that case.

Once in Los Angeles, some Creoles became fierce advocates for civil rights in the 1950s and 1960s most notably Dr. H.

Claude Hudson, who started the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP. Marrying people of different cultures also became more acceptable among Creoles. Linda Hawkins 28, said, "My generation is a lot more open-minded, especially in California, where you see a lot of interracial relationships." Today, Creole-Creole marriages are rare and most Creoles have moved out of Little New Orleans. But few Creoles seem concerned that the culture will die. "We will never let go of our culture," said Meritta Angelain Hawkins, Linda's mother.

"We try to bring people of other cultures in, but we never let go of our own heritage." Creoles insist that their children learn trades or go to college and become professionals. Aubry said they take pride in being cultured "city people," unlike the Cajuns, who tended to live in the backwoods of Louisiana. The Cajuns' ancestors also came from France, by way of Canada. Spicy foods are an important part of the Creole culture. Al Honore, a manager at Harold and Belle's Creole restaurant on Jefferson Boulevard, said the food is a mixture of French, Spanish and black cuisines with the main ingredients being chicken, spicy hot sausage and seafood.

Dance and music are also important parts of the Creole culture, said Meritta Hawkins, founder of the Jolly Jokers social club, a local Creole women's organization. At La Las, zydeco bands, which generally consist of an accordion player, a violinist and someone playing the washboard and spoons, play their polka-type music. To advertise Creole parties and restaurants, Louis Metoyer's family began publishing Bayou Talk, a monthly newspaper. The first year's editions of "Bayou Talk" look and read like a family album, with photos of clan gatherings and stories about social clubs Continued from Page 1 "Later, after America bought the territory from the French, the French and American aristocracy kept black mistresses in the city and white wives out on their plantations," Carlton said. Creoles, whose fair skin and light brown eyes distinguished them, were not completely accepted by whites and segregated themselves from blacks, often traveling dozens of miles to socialize.

They spoke a French dialect and married their cousins to perpetuate their culture. Marion Olivier Ferreira, 63, remembers those times. As a child in Louisiana, she said, there was an unwritten rule that forbade her from attending the same social functions, churches or schools as blacks. Some of her relatives denied that they had any black ancestors. "It was a social scourge," said Ferreira.

who moved to Los Angeles in 1966 and works as an elementary school teacher. "To be black was to be nothing. You were half a man, and nobody wants to be half a man." But no matter how strongly Creoles denied being black, they weren't white either. "It didn't matter how light your skin was, or how blue your eyes were, the whites in the South knew where Creoles came from, and they victimized you like any other black man," said Bishop Carl Fisher, of the Los Angeles Diocese, who was raised in Pascagoula, Miss. However, Marie Leday said that outside the South, Creoles could "pass for white" and get jobs, decent housing and an education.

They moved to Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles. "When we came out here, people couldn't tell if we were white or black," said Leday, 64, who has lived in Los Angeles for 45 years. "I was looking for a job and I passed a restaurant with a 'help wanted' sign in the window. The sign said, 'whites only but I walked right in anyway, and got the job." The majority of Creoles who migrated to Los Angeles settled along Jefferson Boulevard between Arlington and 10th Avenue an area they called Little New Orleans. Its center was Holy Name Church, and several Creoles, like Aubry, opened businesses in the area.

"Earth First came out and helped us at a rally last week," said Karen Pokroka, 45, who opposes development of the Agoura site. "Working together is the way to make a difference." Huddled under a three-sided picnic shelter, the group faced a banner that read "Unlimited Growth Is the Ideology of a Cancer Cell." Nearby, partially constructed houses on the hillsides could occasionally be viewed through the mist and fog. Thoroughly enshrouded in fog was the Scholl Canyon Golf and Tennis Complex, which was closed in September after studies showed that an inactive landfill underneath the facility is leaking potentially explosive quantities of methane gas. Pickup Driver Arrested truck hit a car carrying four people head-on in Granada Hills, Los Angeles police said.

The pickup's driver, Greg Bilson, 24, of Chatsworth, was taken in critical condition to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with cuts and internal injuries. The driver of the car, Jui-WanTsai, 22, of Sepul-veda, was transported to the Northridge hospital in critical condition with similar injuries. The three passengers Martin Lin, 29; Linda Hung, 21, and Jannie Chang, 20 were taken to Rancho Encino Hospital with various injuries. Police said the accident occurred when Bilson crossed the center line on Devonshire Street near Andasol Avenue at 1:20 a.m. Saturday.

Police Seize 40,000 Pirated Audiotapes Los Angeles vice officers arrested three men and confiscated up to 40,000 pirated audiotapes Saturday at a self-storage facility in Pacoi-ma, police said. Acting on a tip, two police officers drove into Laurel Canyon Self Storage in the 10800 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and saw three men unloading cases of tapes. Officer Erwin Velasco said. Arrested on suspicion of pirating tapes were Miguel Angel Penaloza-Rios, 28, of Sylmar; Miguel Arellano, 20. of Sylmar, and Efren Reyes Cazares, 28.

of Pacoima. Saturday's rain did little to dampen the spirits of about 40 people who met in a Glendale park to protest development. But the rainy skies at Scholl Canyon Park shrouded a nearby view of graded hillsides and a methane -leaking dump symbols of the consequences of unbridled growth, the group said. "They're out there, though," said Peter Bralver, 45, of Sherman Oaks. "We're going to band together and fight things like that, not just give up on L.A.

as lots of environmentalists have." The rally, which was intended to draw hundreds of people to what was touted as "A Day of Outrage Against Development," was sponsored by L.A. Earth First, an environmental group. Protests were also held Saturday in Orange County, Austin, and parts of Florida, Bralver said. Representatives of about a dozen groups were at the rally, including Friends of the Santa Monica Moun Head-On Crash Injures A driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday morning after his pickup Tony Massengale, spokesman for the South-Central Organizing Committee, a network of 40 inner-city churches, noted that one possibility would be to give 50 of the Quimby Ordinance fees to parks with the greatest need, regardless of their location. People for Parks will also examine whether fees gathered at parks in wealthier areas should be used to help bolster poorer parks.

Other Participants Among other g-oups participating in People for Parks are: Citizen's Committee to Save Elysian Park; Coalition to Preserve Bonelli Park; Heal the Bay; Hillside Federation; More Advocates for Safe Homes; Open Space Task Force for the Community Redevelopment Agency; Pershing Square Management TreePeople; Urban Impact Task Force and USC Office of Urban Affairs. Said Massengale: "One of the real tests to come out of the conference will be whether or not all the different park interests, the inner-city park supporters, the suburban and rural advocates can put aside special interests, do some creative thinking and fight together."

A M.flJc 'Ir'nTIJ. i. Continued from Page 1 has only about half the amount of open space considered adequate by park planners. Inner-city parks have especially suffered, according to city officials who were among the 150 people at Saturday's conference. James Hadaway, director of the city Recreation and Parks Department, who applauds the new People for Parks coalition, explained that parks traditionally received their budgets through complicated formulas based on size of the buildings and acreage.

For example, he noted, both South Park in South -Central Los Angeles and Cheviot Hills Park were alloted four caretakers under the old formula. But the grounds of South Park have been overused and its buildings assaulted by vandals, thus becoming more and more rundown. Under a plan adopted last year and designed to help poorer parks catch up. South Park is receiving six caretakers. The other 65 inner-city parks considered especially endangered are now receiving 40c more funds than those in more affluent areas such as West Los Angeles and the San Fernando II niATJlAClMCCCTATCC Valley.

And last year the City Council allocated $10 million extra for inner-city parks, to be used for maintenance and staff increases. All told, the city spends about a $100 million annually on its parks. Among about 50 park improvement projects under way or in the planning stages are a community building at Mt. Carmel Park, $1.5 million; a gymnasium at Alpine Recreation Center in Chinatown, $1.7 million; land acquisition in East Los Angeles for a soccer field, $20 million; refurbishing of park grounds in Baldwin Hills and Manning Park in Wilmington, and a new ball field in Silver Lake, $2 million. Among issues People for Parks will tackle in the next few months, organizers said, will be to consider lobbying for changes in the so-called Quimby Ordinance.

This measure requires developers to plow money back into the community within a mile and a half radius of where they are doing construction. However, because little new construction is taking place in the inner city, the wealthier parks, such as those in the West Valley, get the bulk of the funds. yrrrra 1Qin W. ADAMS BLVD. LIC.
