SPRINGFIELD, Mo.(AP)-RiOt-

the wall on the north west corner
of the "10 North" building.

Guards, state troopers, Spring-
field policemen and special guards
from the Federal Prison at Leav-
enworth, Kan., formed three sep-
arate tight rings around the "10
North" wing of the Federal Prison
system’s General Hospital today.
The unit is known as the “country
Club’’ because it resembles one
from the outside.
Sheriff Hendrix said none of the
prison authorities could get inside
the building to actually "see what
tats happening." He said they
heard terrific pounding and sent
men around the walls to see if
they could detect exactly where a
break through was trying to be
made.
“The wall* are about 36 inches
thick and I just don’t believe they
have got the equipment to get
through,” the sheriff said.
Hendrix said it was his under-
standing the riot was led by "six
or seven” convicts and that one
of them, who is serving a 26-year
sentence, was considered desper-
ate.
The offi cers, armed with riot
guns and gas grenades, were
spaced only 20 feet apart to guard
against the possibility of a break.
But the officers made no move
toward the wing. Dr. Russell O.
Settle, warden of the center,
dered his staff to avoid provoking
the rioters.
The ”10 North” wing is a pris-
dh-type building with tarred doors
and windows and individual cells.
It is divided into three wards,
each housing about a third of the
106 inmates.
Questioned by Settle on what
started the riot, the man said:
We have our demands almost
ready but we will call you.”
That was at 10:20 Monday
night. Nothing since has been
♦ {heard f»qm the prisoners.
