Abstract The ABFST multiperipheral bootstrap model, studied recently by various authors with SU/sub 2/ multiples ( rho and f mesons etc., exchanged between pi -mesons), is enlarged to use SU/sub 3/ multiplets (octets of vector mesons, nonets of tensor mesons etc., exchanged between octets of pseudoscalar mesons). It is found that this increases the effective strength of the interaction slightly, but not enough to yield output trajectories with the correct intercepts. The calculation appears to yield f and f' trajectories but no pomeron trajectory. Exchange degeneracy is broken for the output trajectories in this type of model in which an interaction potential is iterated, and this seems to be a serious difficulty. (11 refs).
