J e L. Jackson said ond y
that the time is not right for
him to go to jail for protesting
apartheid in South Africa but
hope the arre of prominent
American will pre ure the
Reagan administration into
action.
J ck on said he p ns to
ek a meeting with Pre ident
Re gan to discu a "ne
Africa policy," and travel to
South Africa to meet with
leaders there.
Jackson indicated that if
he were arrested for demon­
strating t the Sout African
Embassy here, it 0 d inter­
fere with his getting a vi for
the trip.

been arrested in the I t 12
day.
, e would hope that the
credible t adership that has
b en going to jail . . . would
create a ne m nt by our
government to look 1 at its
African policy' Jackson said.
But Jackson, a Baptist mini er
ho campaigned for the D mo­
cratic presidential nomin tion
this year indicated he does
not plan to be among tho
arrested.
"If I go to jail, it consti­
tutes a real escalation in our
struggle that would last for
Ion period of tim and it
must be paced properly," h
said.
"If I go (to the emba y),"
J ac n said, "1 expect to b
re pected enough to be ccepted
by the amb or hi If. "
