"It gave us a chance to look at some of the things police have to do." The program includes tours of various police departments, visits to precincts, the Wayne County jail and other relevant sites.

It also Includes an emphasis upon discipline, military drill and sports to bring the boys together as a group. SO NOW it's roll call time on the dusty field across from Miller and the young men in white tee shirts and mismatched pants are marching and saluting and shouting TEN-SHUN, sweat popping from their brown faces. A few feet away, Reggie Turner smiles grimly as he watches skinny feet scuffing dust. "They aren't putting their hands up high enough," he tells a nearby officer. "Work on that." IN TWO days, Detroit Police Commissioner John Nichols would be coming to watch the result of his community relations department's efforts.

Sgt. Turner wanted his boys to be ready. End Abruptly BALTIMORE (AP) The Country Caravan, a country and western musical group at the Maryland House of Correction, likely won't go on the road any more. Warden Ralph Williams said Tuesday that further outside appearances by the group have been suspended. The reason: Eugene Stilling, a 25-year-old inmate serving eight years for breaking and entering and grand larceny, escaped as 12 musicians were entering WBAL-TV to tape a program.

By BETTY OE RAMUS DETROIT (AP). Reggie Turner stands stiff and proud the perfect posture for a tough black cop who spent 16 years fighting his way up through the ranks.

Timothy Pettway Isn't so stiff, but he's a young black with a low boiling point and one thing that can make him sizzle and spout off is cops. "THEY USED to stop me for silly reasons like being out late," he complains. "They'd come at me about something that happened around the corner." Yet Sgt. Reggie Turner and Tim Pettway are "cool" with each other. They are both part of a program which has brought together two traditionally hostile groups young blacks and police officers with some unpredictable and surprising CALLED THE Detroit Police Junior Cadet Training Program, the nine-week project involves 250 inner-city boys from throughout the city who are attending Detroit's Miller and Munger junior hlglu schools this summer.

Fourteen police officers teach courses touching on such things as the relationship of the poli to the courts, police use of rearms, police-community relations and riot control. It is a jotit venture of the Detroit Police Department, the Detroit Board of Education's In-School Neighborhood Youth Corps which pays the boys, aged 14-18, $1.65 an hour, and the Detroit Catholic Youth Organization. "Straight talk" Is what It's all about, the officers say. "WE SHOW them what police procedures are supposed to be like," says the chief instructor. Patrolman George Taylor.

There are some officers who do have a penchant for shooting. We know some do have racial hangups." TURNER FEELS that both officers and young men have benefitted from the program which is in its second year there has been a breakdown of stereo types on both sides. "The boys like to be treated as men, I think they lose a lot of their old prejudices during the course. And we, too, came to have a new respect for these young men. Maybe some of us started off with a few prejudices, too," says Sgt.

According to Turner, a white officer in the program at first feared coming to Miller, an old school which sits in the center of a decayed area once the heart of the black ghetto before a city urban renewal program cleared away old neighborhoods to allow erection luxury high rises. THE OFFICER encountered some blind hostility. But there was far more curiosity. 'They wanted to know everything about policemen, who they were, what they looked like up close, what they were like when they weFen's on the muscle," Turner said.

Admittedly there was resent-ment. "We administered a questionnaire at the beginning of the program to try to measure attitudes," said Patrol man Taylor.

"I USED to hate 'em," Cecil Styles (597 2J 97 i 1 A Matter Of Opinion By BILL STOCKTON AP Science Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) While portions of the Atlantic Seaboard suffered through air pollution alerts, Los Angeles residents went blythely about their business, graphic evidence that one man's dirty air can be another's summer breeze. It was generally a nice day Thursday in Los Angeles the city whose name is synonymous in some minds with smog.

Workers downtown could see the Santa Monica Mountains through the smog and the peak metropolitan ozone content in the air hit a mild .08 part per million (ppm). The top carbon monoxide level was 11 ppm. BUT FOUR times this year and 21 times last year school children were kept indoors in some areas when ozone, an irritant gas associated with pollution, reached .35 ppm. That is approximately equivalent to the "oxident" levels that brought air pollution alerts Thursday in the District of Columbia and Maryland and in Connecticutt Wednesday and early Thursday. More than 12 times in the last two months in metropolitan Los Angeles carbon monoxide levels have soared to peak readings above 15 ppm, approximately similar to the eight-hour average of 16 ppm in Springfield, that brought a firststage alert Wednesday.

Although an Associated Press survey Thursday seems to indicate that Los Angeles residents are old hands at coping with dirty air, it points up, more importantly, the diversity of air pollution alert levels and relief measures that exist across the nation. THIS IS because even though federal miminum guidelines were handed down last year by the Environmental Protection Agency, local governments can set more severe standards. Los Angeles County calls a first-stage alert when ozone reaches50ppm peak. But San Bernardino County 70 miles to the east calls an alert when "oxidents" reach .50 ppm, a different pollutant measure. The California Air Resources Board, which sets statewide standards but doesn't govern local pollution control agencies, calls a first stage alert when ozone stays at .10 ppm for one hour.

LOS ANGELES County calls an alert if carbon monoxide reaches .50 ppm peak reading The state agency calls an alert if it reaches .10 ppm average for 12 hours. Alerts mean different things to different cities. But generally, a first-stage alert means some heavy industries must curtail operations, automobile traffic is discouraged and other antipollution measures, often voluntary in nature, are urged. Then comes a second-stage alert with mandatory shutdown of some industry, electrical voltage reductions to cut power consumption and, perhaps, banning some automobile traffic. The final, emergency stage could lead to banning of all but fire and police vehicles, shutdown of industry and evacuation of people.

MAJOR ALERTS have been issued twice in Birmingham, in the past two years, forcing industries to cut back, or shut down production after pollutants in the air totaled more than double the minimum required for an alert. Alert levels in eastern cities show more conformity, checks with Environmental Protection Agency officials indicated. In the Boston area, for example, EPA officials said in telephone interviews, a first-stage alert is called if nitrogen dioxide the brown part of smog reaches .6 ppm for one hour or .15 ppm for 24 hours. In Philadelphia, however, an alert is called only after, an average of .2 ppm for 24 hours. In New York, where the sampling methods for the pollutant presently are being debated, a first-stage alert would be called at i .8 ppm average for one hour or .2 ppm for 24 hours.

IN LOS Angeles, an alert would be called if the "nitrogen oxides" reached a peak of 3 ppm, although this pollution measure includes other nitrogen compounds besides nitrogen dioxide. EPA officials and other air pollution experts admit that medical evidence about when air pollution begins to harm health is -skimpy and open to wide interpretation. "No wonder you're confused. You should be," grumbled a Los Angeles County air pollution official. Los Angeles air pollution control experts have been critical of federal standards and the diversity of alert levels.

FEDERAL government got into the act last year and everyone is trying to do them one better. It's all turning into a game of oneupsman-ship." "The alert basicly is pinned to the health effects of smog," Ray Werner, an EPA official in New York said. "But eventually as these minimum standards are agreed to you'll see uniform alert levels."

The 90-degree temperatures and high humidities, which caused power failures in New York and Detroit Thursday, were dangerous for some. Pennsylvania's Allegheny County health department is-s a first-stage pollution alert in Pittsburgh Thursday. RESIDENTS OF the area were urged to remain indoors if they were over 70, suffering from lung or heart disease, or pregnant. Motorists were requested to use public transportation. In direct contrast to the oppressive warmth of the East, cool weather continued to prevail over the Northern Rockies and in the Northwest.

Snow was reported in parts of Idaho Thursday. The plains states reported temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
