JACKSON, Miss, Mar. 81 (AP)
A State grand jury wants the
FBI removed from what 1t de-
Iscribes as "the control of poll
ticians who would use its ex-
traordinary powers to sponsor
selfish political maneuvering. :"
The grand jury of the Kinds
County Circuit Court said in its
report yesterday that the Justice
Department lis playing politics
with matters the explosive ma
ture of which is their own crea-
ton"
The statement came in con-
nection with the jury's report
on the case of Mrs. Beatrice
Young, who complained before
"a Senate committee in Wash
ington that she was mistreated
at the Kinds County Jail.
The jury said it found no basis
for the complaint, which was
made before a committee hold
ing hearings on civil rights
legislation. FBI agents from
New Orleans went into the Jail
and investigated.
The grand jury said the
justice Department had advised
District Attorney Robert Mich
OILS. jr.. that their Investigation
showed there was no foundation
for the charges.
Referring to the FBI investi-
