School
District
Sued
Special to Register
ST. LOUIS, Mo.--The De-
partment of Justice filedaclvil
suit last week charging the
Ladue school district in the St.
Louis suburbs with discrimin-
ating against blacks who apply
for teaching and staff positions.
Attorney General Elliot L.
Richardson said the employ-
ment discrimination suit
against a public employer was
inea in United States District
court in St. Louis, Missouri.
Named as defendants were
School Superintendent D r.
Charles D. McKenna and the
six-member board of educa-
tion.
Ladue, one of 26 suburban
school systems in St. Louis
county, employs about 456 white
and three black teachers this
year.
The suit charged that the
school board and its superin-
tendent continue to pursue a
pattern and practice of dis-
crimination against black ap-
plicants for faculty and staff
jobs, although state-imposed
school segregation was abol-
ished in 1955.
The discriminatory prac-
tices include the consistent re-
fusal to hire blacks who are
as well or better qualified than
whites, the refusal to recruit
blacks for employment, and
the failure to use objective,
non - discriminatory selection
procedures for employment,
the suit said.
The suit said the defendants
had been notified that their
policies and practices violated
the equal employment section
of the Civil Rights act of 1964
but they failed to take adequate
steps to correct the situation.
The suit asked for prelim-
inary and permanent Injunc-
tions prohibiting the defendants
from engaging In any racially
discriminatory employ-
ment policy or practice.
The defendants would be re-
quired to hire black teachers
and administrators on an ac-
celerated basis, to recruit
blacks for teaching positions,
and to offer to hire and pro-
vide back pay to blacks whose
applications were dlscrlmln-
atorily rejected.
Assistant Attorney General
J. Stanley Pottlnger said the
suit is the fourth filed by the
Justice department against a
school system under Title VII
of the Civil Rights act of 1964
and the Equal Employment Op-
portunity act of 1972.
A similar suit was filed
against the Jennings school dis-
trict In St. Louis county on
April 26, 1973.
LLOYD W. KEASER
TOP WRESTLER A MA-
RINE--One of the top collegiate
wrestlers In the country, a
young black named Lloyd Wel-
don “Butch" Keaser, Is learn-
ing the “basics” all over again
...this time as a marine.
Keaser, who graduated from
the Naval academy and elected
to join the Marines as a second
lieutenant, Is currently under-
going training at the Corps’
Basic school at Quantlco, Vir-
ginia.
In wrestling circles, Mid-
shipman Keaser was a well-
known name. Raised outside of
Baltimore In the small town
of Pumphrey about 15 miles
from the academy, Keaser was
a wrestling terror in high
school. Competing for the
Brooklyn Park (Md.) high
school, he was the district
champion for two years and the
county champion for three
years.

As a Junior, Keaser won the
coveted “Thompson trophy*
award for doing the most to
promote athletics at the aca-
demy. In his senior year, he

from the United States Air

cialist course conducted by the
Air Training command.
The sergeant, trained to In-
ventory supplies by use of elec-

celled most In sports while at
Annapolis.
In 1971, he was ranked as
the fourth best wrestler In the
nation. A year later, he had
moved up to third. For three
consecutive years, Keaser was
noted as “best In the East" by
the NCAA and was an alternate
for the Olympic games In Mu-
nich.
Now a marine second lieu-
tenant, Keaser Is still In an at-
mosphere not unlike college,
practicing the skills and knowl-
edge required of a marine of-
ficer.
More and more blacks and
other minorities are Joining
the corps as officers. Young
people seeking more informa-
tion about marine officer pro-
grams should contact their lo-
cal marine corps recruiters.
Like Keaser, they will be di-
rected toward the marine basic
school, if accepted. At anygiv- •
en time, the enrollment of the
school is approximately 1,250,
with major emphasis being
placed on teaching these new
officers how to lead others.
While veterans with non-
service connected disabilities
are eligible for Veterans ad-
ministration hospital treatment
on a bed available basis, beds
are always available to vet-
erans with service connected
disabilities.
