TALLAHASSEE. Fla, Nov
% Up. Segregationist John
Kasper has begun serving a
one-year Federal prison sem
tence for criminal contempt of
court.
Kasper was checked into the
Federal correctional institution
here yesterday. The tall. black
haired northerner from New
Jersey was convicted of inter-
fering last year with Federal
court orders to integrate the
high school at Clinton, Tenn.
1t was at Tallahassee that
Kasper first publicly disclosed
that he once mixed socially
with Negroes as a New York
bookstore operator.
He was convicted on another
contempt charge in Tennessee
and given six months, but the
order transferring him to prison
here made no mention of that
sentence.
Kasper said he switched to
the segregationist viewpoint
during a visit in Alabama in
1856 where he said he found
a genuine respect between the
races l had never seen in the
North"
+ He was brought to prison
from Knoxville. Tenn, where
the six-month sentence was
handed down last week. His
attorney planned an appeal.
When Kasper left Knoxville,
he carried a copy of Adolf Hit
ler's book, "Mein Kampf."
Warden Eugene r. Goodwin
said Kasper had several books
with him when he arrived. but
he did not know if "Mein
Kampf' was among them. The
books were taken away from
Kasper and will be sent either
to his relatives or to his
attorney.
