About 75 chanting demonstrators rallied outside a New Haven, Conn., television station to protest the taping of a nationally syndicated talk show featuring children of members of white-supremacy groups. There was no violence and there were no arrests, police said. The show, which will be aired over 90 stations across the nation in the next three weeks, focused on three teen-agers representing the youth corps of the Ku Klux Klan, Skinheads and White Aryan Resistance. Jose Pretlow, senior producer for the “Sally Jessy Raphael Show,” denied that ratings had anything to do with the decision to tape the controversial program.
