The trouble started when a Kinloch policeman attempted to arrest two brothers who got into a fight. Authorities said the fires were set by a group of youths who had a grudge against the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department. A crowd, which police estimated at 400 persons cursed and jeered policemen from other communities who were called to quell the disturbance. Police at one point fired six shots into the air with a riot gun to try to disperse the crowd, which milled about the streets from 12:30 a.m. to about 4:30 a.m.

Five persons were arrested and four Kinloch firemen were taken to St. Louis County Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Also treated at the hospital was one of the participants in the fight that triggered the fracas. Police Take Part At least 30 policemen from eight municipalities and the St. Louis County Police Department attempted to control the crowd.

Scuffling took place among some persons, and others ran from one fire to the other as they broke out. The Kinloch, Carsonville and Berkeley fire departments fought the blazes, all of which occurred in vacant buildings. The Berkeley fire chief's car and a pumper were badly damaged by stones and bricks. Another such outbreak in the all-Negro community occurred Sept. 25, 1962, when three policemen and a bystander were shot in a three-hour disturbance after a youth was shot fatally by a Kinloch policeman.

The trouble today started shortly after midnight when a small group gathered in the 5500 block of Carson road to watch a fight between Earl Fowler, 20 years old, and his brother, Calvin, 23. Cpl.

"We are proud of it," one woman said. "It gives us a feeling of distinction." Sixty woman residents of Loose, a village In Kent county, voted down yesterday a proposal to change the town's name, long the target of amused visitors.

"Loose we are and Loose we will stay," a woman said. "There is a place called Ugley. I'd rather be called Loose than Ugley." The name of the village comes from several streams that lose themselves underground in the area. The name -change proposal came from newer residents, who arrived in the rush of Londoners to suburbia.

He also was wounded. A third officer was slightly hurt. Abduction of a young woman by the ex-convict led to the killing.

The shooting occurred before hundreds of spectators al the Pruitt-Igoe housing development in the 2100 block of Dickon street. Patrolman McCulloch, 37 years old. was a widely known member of the Canine Corps. He was shot once through the head. Patrolman Ronald Pott, 22, suffered two bullet wounds and may have been saved from death by his police badge, which deflected one shot.

Steele, 24, who first encountered Glenn, suffered a leg injury when scuffling with him. He was treated at City Hospital and released. Police said Glenn kidnaped Miss Marilyn Morris, 20, at knifepoint as she sat in her automobile in the 800 block of North Leffingwell avenue about 6:45 p.m., triggering the violence that erupted at the housing development more than an hour later. Glenn, 37, of the 2200 block of North Market street, admitted kidnaping Miss Morris and shooting at three policemen, officers said. Police said there was a possibility that McCulloch was killed by a ricocheting fragment of a bullet.

An autopsy shewed a wound in the back of the head cnly. Ballistics tests were being made na fragment about as wide as a paper clip removed from his head. Faces Murder Charge Circuit Attorney Daniel P. Reardon Jr. issued warrants charging him with first degree murder, armed robbery and assault with intent to kill.

Miss Morris, 7943 Teasdale avenue, University City, was waiting to pick up her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Morris, outside their grocery at 814 North Leffingwell. Glenn entered the car, displayed a knife and ordered her to drive away. A bystander saw the abduction and reported it to the Morrises as they left the store.

They called police and gave descriptions of the car and the abductor. Miss Morris said she drove aimlessly in north St. Louis. "He was telling me that he needed money for dope and this was the way he made his living," she said. "My purse was open between us and he removed $4, and I gave him some change from my purse.

Wallace of Ala bama Indicates He Will Take Fight Into Courts WASHINGTON, July 3 (UPl) Negroes began putting the new civil rights bill signed by President Lydon B. Johnson yesterday to the test today. They made some initial gains in troubled areas, but in other places Southern leaders refused to accept it as the law of the land.

Immediately after Mr. Johnson signed the legislation, at a White House ceremony, the campaign to implement it was put into motion. Today some doors that had been off-limits to Negroes were open. Others were shut by tha owners to everyone. Admitted to Restaurants In Albany, for instance, the.

scene of racial violence in recent years, seven restaurants that catered to whites only admitted Negroes for the first time last night. Negroes found no resistance in entering restaurants in another troubled southern city, Savannah, Ga, In Jacksonville, Fla a white waitress in the serving line of Morrison's cafeteria greeted two. Negro men with the dignity that Mr. Johnson asked to be shown to all races. "May I help you?" she asked politely.

In Kansas City, where the Congress of Racial Equality was holding its convention, one of the youngest members in the integration movement tried unsuccessfully last night to get a haircut in the Muehlebach Hotel. The barber shop said haircuts were by appointment only after Gene Young, 13 years old of Jackson, was refused service. Then Negroes moved into the barber shep and filled the chairs. Today Young walked into the same shop and got a haircut. Today the barber shop will be open to Negroes for the first time, a spokesman for the hotel said after negotiations with CORE representatives.

Virginia Cafe Closed But in Charlottesville, the door to a restaurant operated by Buddy Glover was closed for the first time in 27 years. "I quit," Glover said. "It's going to be a financial loss, but dollars and cents can't take the place of principles." Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama challenged the constitutionality of the new law, which permi's Negroes access to public eating places and overnight accommodations previously denied them.

Wallace indicated that he would fight the legislation through the courts. "My position on this bill is well known," he said. "I believe the legislation is unconstitutional and if unchallenged will result in the destruction of individual liberty and freedom in this nation. "It should and will be tested in the courts on constitutional grounds." Dr. King's Plans The Rev.

Dr. Martin Luther King, who attended the bill-signing ceremony in the White House, said his Southern Christian Leadership Conference would test compliance with the bill in the South after a brief Operation Dialogue in which tt hoped ta obtain pledges of compliance from southern leaders, particularly business men. Then, Dr. King said, Operation Implementation would go into effect, and recalcitrant towns and cities could expect "dramatic moves." Like Gov. Wallace of Alabama, Gov.

Paul B. Johnson of Mississippi reacted negatively to enforcement of the bill, wanirs there are "tremendous dangers' and urging Negroes to go slow in testing. Otherwise, Gov. Johnson said, TURN TO PAGE 6, COLUMN 4 INDhA Paqt fit BooRi 2C Movie Time JO Editorial 2C Picture Page 10 Everyday Megine Society aO Section 1-80' TV-Radio 0 Anrt Landen 3D Financial Bridge 2D Fleeion 3C Crossword 7D Obituaries 2J Dr. Molner eal Estate II Mertne Carr 5D Sports 4-tC Movie Reviews 3D Want Ads MOI SOUTHERN CITIES UPI Tlephoto LLS CiViL RIGHTS ACT Pledges at Signing Ceremony to Carry Out New Law- Text on Page 1C, Provisions of Bill on Page 7C By EDWARD F.

WOODS A Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON. July 3 The Civil Rights Act was signed last night by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In a historic ceremony in the East room of the White House the President signed a document embodying the strongest guarantees of full citizenship for Negroes enacted in nearly a century. Several hundred persons representing the bipartisan civil rights forces in Congress, Negro and labor groups, the clergy and Cabinet officers applauded as Mr.

Johnson signed the bill. The President coupled the signing with an appeal to Americans to eliminate the last vestiges of racial injustice in America, "because most Americans are law-abiding citizens who want to do what is right." In a solemn and measured delivery, the President pledged his efforts in faithful execution of the law and announced immediate steps to try to assure its implementation. His appeal was broadcast nationally by television and radio. 'Wonderful' Responses Today, in Johnson City, where he is spending the Fourth of July weekend, Mr. Johnson described as "wonderful and very hopeful" responses to his plea for co-operation in making the new law work.

Press Secretary George E. Reedy 6aid Mr. Jchnson had received responses from community leaders, business men, officials and labor leaders from all parts of the country, including the Deep South. Reedy announced also that Mr. Johnson had picked Arthur H.

Dean, a prominent New York lawyer and one-rime U.S. disarmament negattator at Geneva, to head a National Citizens' Committee for Community Re- TURN TO PAGE COLUMN 2 Oil A FORSUPPORTOF on Rights Bill President Flies To Ranch for Fourth of July Johnson Is Said to Appear to Be in Need of Rest Picture in Everyday Magazine By THOMAS W. OTTENAD A Staff Correspondent of (he Post-Dispatch JOHNSON CITY, July 3 Like thousands of Americans, President Lyndon B. Johnson is spending a long Fourth of July holiday in the country. The President arrived at his ranch home near Johnson City after a night flight from Washington.

He left the capital several hours after signing the civil rights bill at the White House. Mr. Johnson was accompanied by his wife and Lynda Bird, the elder of their two daughters. Rest and relaxation are the only items on the President's schedule. A number of persons who have seen the President in the last few days have thought he appeared to be in need of rest.

Several expressed the opinion that he looked tired in his television appearance last night when signing the rights measure. White House press secretary George E. Reedy said the Chief Executive's schedule is clear of important engagements through next Tuesday. This raised the possibility that the President might remain at his ranch until early next week. The White House did not announce that he was going to Texas until five minutes after his helicopter had left the White House grounds for nearby Andrews Air Force base at 10:40 p.m.

Reedy said he had been informed only an hour and a half earlier of the President's decision, The delay in announcing the plans required fast action by reporters, Secret Service agents and others required to accompany the President. Some had less than an hour to pack and dash to the White House. As he did last week on his political swing through Michigan and Minnesota, Mr. Johnson traveled in a 10-passengec Air Force jet instead of on the much larger jet he customarily uses. Reedy said the smaller craft was used because it is able to land on the relatively short runway on Mr.

Johnson's ranch. Miss Marilyn Morris U.S. PAY BOOST 58-21 IN SENATE Settlement of Differences With House Seems Sure WASHINGTON, July 3 (UPI)-A bill to give pay increases to 1,700,000 federal workers, including a $7500 increase for members of Congress, appeared to be well on its way today toward congressional approval before the Democratic convention in August. The Senate approved the measure late, yesterday by a 58-to-21 vote, and managers of the bill were confident they would have no trouble settling differences between House and Senate versions of the bill after esentatives return from the July 13 GOP convention.

Normal highs are near 90; normal lows about 70. PAPER PICKERS REFUSE TO BOW, GET PIKES BACK TORONTO, July 3 (AP) -Paper pickers in the parks got their pikes back yesterday after they refused to yield to a bend-over order. Deputy Park Commissioner John Janzen ordered the men to stoop and pick up paper by hand, saying they could get more that way.

He directed that their pikes be picked up and locked away. A union leader said, "It's going back to the dark ages to have men bend, bend, bend all day." The deputy commissioner gave in. Leaders Acclaim Measure, Warn of Tasks Remaining Public officials and church and civil rights leaders here generally acclaimed the new civil rights law.today and urged Negro and white citizens to co-operate in carrying out its provisions. Mayor Raymond R. Tucker said the readiness of citizens to accept their democratic responsibilities has already been dem onstrated by the success of the city's public accommodation ordinance and other antidiscrimina tion legislation.

"President Lyndon B. Johnson's vigorous leadership for the bill leaves no doubt that his administration will actively pursue its implementation," Tucker said. "That implementation will require the fullest co-operation of all citizens and groups so that, to the largest possible degree, compliance throughout the nation will be voluntary." Test Likely Soon Negro leaders here agreed that testing of the new law would "undoubtedly occur soon" in those communities in St. Louis county and on the East Side that are not already enforcing antidiscrimination measures. Miss Evelyn H.

Roberts, president of the Louis branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the organization would work to assure compliance with the law by public officials and individual proprietors. "Prior to the passage of the law, many citizens could practice racial discrimination and disregard the moral issue involved," Miss Roberts said.

New ork Time News Service MINEOLA, N.Y., July 3 -The blue language on the golf course at Salisbury Park in East Meadow has driven nearby residents to tee off on offending golfers. Forty residents sent a letter to Nassau county executive Eugene H.

Nickerson complaining that the installation of lights, which is underway, for night golfing on the public course "will extend the cursing hours." The letter, which was received yesterday, was written by Gerald Ball, whose property adjoins one of the three courses. Ball said in the letter that "these homes put up with the golfers and their choice language all day long and we feel that comes evening we are due a little tranquility." Nickerson said that he had instructed the Department of Public Works to look into the matter. UNDER ISURG HERE IN SUNDAY'S ST. LOUIS POST.DISPATCII What Is a Republican?
