HOLT Presumed drowned JOHN McEWEN Successor EDITOR'S NOTE: More than 300 children who had run away from home were seen in Hennepin County Juvenile Court last year. Hundreds of others ran away but were not seen in court, or were charged with offenses arising from running away.

The county does not have space to handle them, nor a program adequate to deal with their problem, authorities say. This is the first in a series of articles outlining the problem and attempts to solve it. By MAURICE HOBBS Minneapolis Star Staff Writer Suzie Smith is 16 years old. She is an attractive blonde with shoulder-length straight hair. She wears a mini-skirt.

She looks like an average teen-ager. But she has just spent 34 days locked up, partly because she was caught stealing a $3 steak, but mainly because she runs away from home. Suzie, which is not her real name, ran away from home the day after an argument with her mother, but that wasn't the reason she ran. "This time I had no excuse (to run). I was just restless," she said.

She has been running away from home since she was in 8th grade and is behind in school because of it. Now she is on her way to a private institution in northern Minnesota where she may stay until she completes high school or is 18. If she likes the private institution, she said, she'll stay. She said she didn't mind being locked up in the Hennepin County Detention Center, which houses some 30 children at a time in security some authorities say is greater than that at the Minneapolis City Jail. She went to classes daily, took part in sports in the gymnasium and activities in the craft shop.

She likes the Hennepin County Emergency Shelter home less, even though it's not a security institution, because "there's nothing to do there." Cases Unreported She said she doesn't want to go home. Suzie can be considered typical of many children who run away from "home every day in Hennepin County. No one knows precisely how many there are. The Hennepin District Juvenile Court handled 319 cases of run-away children last year and another 492 who were "ungovernable" or involved in truancy. But these are RUNAWAYS Turn to Page 16A AUSTRALIAN COMPANION TELLS OF FATAL TIDE By BRIAN DEWHURST PORTSEA, Australia (UPI) Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen was named today to succeed Harold Holt as prime minister.

Holt -vanished Sunday while swimming in shark-infested waters off this summer resort and was presumed drowned. The announcement was made by Gov. Gen. Lord Richard Casey. McEwen will serve as temporary successor until the ruling Liberal party elects a new leader.

The party leader then would become prime minister. Chief contenders for a permanent new leader appeared to be Treasurer William McMahon, 59; External Affairs Minister Paul Hasluck, 62; Defense Minister Allen Fairhall, 58, and Education and Science Minister John Gorton, 56. S. W. Wells Holt, swimming in waters he knew "like the back of my hand," disappeared in boiling offshore waves Sunday while friends stood helpless on the beach.

OP) Personal income took its biggest jump in more than two years in November, with rising wages and salaries accounting for the bulk of the gain, the Commerce Department reported today. Income rose by $5.8 billion at an annual rate in the month to reach a record pace of $641.7 billion. It was the biggest advance since September 1965. Void property owners file a notice of their existence with the register of deeds The legal question decided by Tallakson was whether the restricted residential tricts were the kind of deed restriction which the legisja ture had in mind when it passed the act.

He said they are. A spokesman for the city said almost none of the 2,307 such deed restrictions in Minneapolis had been reaffirmed. The restricted residential districts were made possible under a 1915 law, which pro- vided that a group of property owners could petition the City Council to limit building in their area to one-family and two-family houses. This was before the city had a zoning law and the limitation was accomplished by "condemn- DEEDS Turn to Page 16A Tallakson Deed restrictions on more than 2,000 parcels of property in Minneapolis have been ruled invalid by Hennepin District Judge Thomas Tallakson. Tallakson ruled Friday that The Harris Survey By LOUIS HARRIS By DEBORAH Minneapolis Star About 150 parents held a noisy meeting' today in the Lincoln Junior High School auditorium, and about 50 to 75 students were in the halls, some of them shouting.

School began quietly about 8:15 a.m., but children came out of class about 9 a.m. and milled around the first floor hall for 15 minutes until school officials could get them back into classes. The school building at 2131 12th Av. N. was supposed to be closed to all outsiders but parents.

However, Syl Davis, director of The Way Community Center; Harry Moss, a Way youth worker, and other Way officials entered the building about the time the students came out of class. Some parents at the meeting strongly criticized The Way and most seemed to support the school administration's efforts to keep order. Shouting Melee The meeting broke into a shouting melee at one point, when Willa Mae Dixon, a Way worker, said that "The Way is not the issue. It's no jobs, no money, being on ADC (Aid to Dependent Children)." Miss Dixon said the Way is trying to help keep children a Funeral Will Be Private Private funeral services will be held for Stuart W. Wells 58, president of the department store division of the Dayton who died Sunday of a heart attack while hunting on his farm near Sperryville, Va.

A public memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Wayzata Community Church, Hwy. 12 and Ferndale Road, Wayzata. The family prefers memorials to the Hennepin County Community Health and Welfare Council for the Stuart Wells Day Camp in Medina. Mr.

Wells' body was to be flown to Minneapolis today from Virginia. He was the first person outside the Dayton family to head the department store division. Mr. Wells had undergone heart surgery at St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, a year ago and was believed to have fully recovered at the time he was named Dayton store president eight months ago.

"We are shocked and saddened by the death of Mr. Wells," was the comment of Bruce Dayton, president of the Dayton Corporation. "He was a major force in the development of our corporation and was nationally recognized as one of the outstanding creative minds in the retail industry." "Mr. Wells was one of the truly great fashion merchants of America," said Kenneth N. Dayton, executive vice-president of the corporation.

"Although his loss to Dayton's is considerable, we believe that the many programs initiated under his leadership and his excellent executive ability in developing a strong management team capable of continuing his tasks will be living tributes to his accomplishments."

No Policy Change The emergence of McEwen as prime minister is expected to signal no change in major nolicv, including full support for the allied war effort in Vietnam. The lost leader championed the Vietnam cause under the campaign slogan, "All the way with LBJ." Memorial services will be held Friday in St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne. Lord Casey's action came as Australian officials gave up hope of finding Holt. "I think our last hopes have drained away," press secretary Tony Eggleton said.

The 59-year-old Holt was a popular man despite his tough campaigning. He went about with no necktie. He drank beer by the mug. He fished, played tennis and swam. His wife, a college sweetheart who married another, was divorced and came to Holt in his 40s, recalled he liked to sing in the shower, a song she called "Saturday Night is the Happiest Night of the Week." Zara Holt reported he sang it recently when he caught 14 coral cod.

Police cars were patrolling the area shortly after 9 a.m. Police Chief Calvin Hawkin-son, Inspector Donald Dwyer and other police officials helped patrol the halls. There were no arrests and no injuries. About the time the meeting became noisy inside the auditorium, the shouting of children could be heard by parents.

Some parents, upon hearing the noise, left the meeting and sought to find their chil dren. Many parents, both Negro and white, took their children out of. school today. They said they feared for their children's safety. Meeting Set A meeting was set for 1 p.m.

The peace march to the Pentagon, the picketing of administration officials, campus uprisings and clashes between draft protesters and police appear to have had an effect opposite to that intended by their organizers. The public response to these events has been a firming up of support for President Johnson and the military effort in Vietnam. A clear majority of Americans still indicate their support of peaceful dissent against government policy, including the expression of doubts about the war. But even more decisively, Americans reject the militant methods pursued by some opponents of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Here are some major findings of a survey of a cross section of 1,608 American homes completed earlier this month: A 76 of the American people feel that recent anti-Vietnam demonstrations "encourage Communists to fight all the harder." 70 estimate that the marches and demonstrations have hurt the cause of opposing the war. 68 believe that such demonstrations are "acts of disloyalty against the boys in Vietnam." 53 agree with Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey that students who obstruct recruiting efforts by the armed services or companies engaged in defense work should be drafteed. The number who doubt the right of peaceful protest against the war has risen to 40, up 10 points from July. Test of Democracy Despite the erosion of public tolerance, six in 10 Americans still go along with the proposition that "a true test of our democracy is whether we allow people with unpopular views to express them without interference." By 59 the public estimates that "sentiment against war is rising and people have a right to feel that way." And 58 are prepared to accept demonstrations "as long as they are peaceful." However, seven in ten Americans object to the way Special Report on City Property Taxes: Page 11 A Smuggled Journal From S.

(IPI) The Supreme Court in a precedent-setting decision on eavesdropping today overturned the conviction of a Los Angeles man because government agents improperly listened in on his conversations in a public telephone booth. The aeents nlaced a micro phone on top of the booth and later charged Charles Katz with transmitting bets and other gambling information in violation of federal law. The government argued that there was no physical penetration of the booth and therefore the constitutional right of Katz to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures was not violated.
