i O O Negro Rights Groups Plan Mammoth March On Nation's Capital Advance for Monday PMs Aug. S (EDITORS NOTE: The great est racial demonstration in the nation's history, a march of 100,000 strong, is planned by Negro civil rights groups for Washington on Aug. 28. The story of how a dozen men and women are mapping out the march, step.by.step, and of the precautions to keep it peaceful is told in the following dispatch.) By JOHN PIERSON United Press International In a little yellow house in Har lem, a dozen men ana women are making plans to send 100,000 civil rights marchers to Washington late this month. The little house, which usually sers as a community center for getting children off the streets, has become headquarters for an effort to get an army of adults on tne streets ot the nation s cap ital Aug. 28. Civil rights leaders call it the "march on Washington for jobs ana ireeaom. They say the marchers will oro- vide evidence of the need for quick federal action to safeguard civil rights and provide jobs for me unemployed. President Kennedy has en. dorsed their effort. At a news conference last month, the President said the march is "in the great tradition" of lawful protest. Unlike some other recent demonstrations, Ken nedy said, this one gives "every evidence it is going to be peace ful." "I look forward to being here," Kennedy said. "1 am sure mem bers of Congress will be here." The President's distinction be tween peaceful and violent dem onstrations was not lost on those who arc planning for Aug. 28. The Rev. Martin Luther King predicted it would be "the great est non-violent demonstration ever to take place" in Washington. But all leaves have been can celed Aug. 28 for the District of Columbia s 2,900-man police lorce. They will be supported by 500 re serves, 250 National Park police men and the district's 2,000 Na tional Guardsmen. If serious trouble developed, au thorities in the federal city could call in the army. As an additional precaution no parade permits will be issued that day except to the six groups sponsoring the parade and those tney designate. The six sponsors are the Con gress of Racial Equality, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, the Negro American Labor Council, the National Association for the advancement of Colored People and the Urban League. The American Nazi party asked permission to stage a "counter demonstration" but was refused. Despite these precautions, the marchers intend to police their own ranks. They are acutely aware that any outbreak of vio lence might prejudice their cause not only in Congress but in the eyes of the American people. They have asked the Guardians a Drivate group of off-duty New York policemen, to train 1,000 men wno will circulate tnrougn the crowd and watch for trouble. Five hundred more men, in teams of 10, will be stationed along the line of march and equipped with walkie talkies and bull horns. No one will be per mitted to march who is not wear ing an arm band issued by the national headquarters. The national headquarters will also supply all placards. No oth er slogans will be allowed. The leaders also hope that while the marchers arc meeting their congressmen, a small delegation can present demands to President Kennedy. The delegation would in clude at least one Negro and one white person who are out of work. Their demands will be: Passage of an "effective" civ il rights program during the cur rent session of Congress. Immediate desegregation of j the nation's schools. An end to police brutality against demonstrators all over the country. A massive federal public works program to provide jobs, bolstered by legislation to pro mote an expanding economy. A federal fair employment practices act to bar job discrim ination by federal, state and local governments, private employers or unions. A fair labor standards act that covers low-paying jobs not now covered. A national minimum wage of $2 an hour. By pion, the "confrontations" are supposed to be over and the marchers will go to lunch. At 12:30 p.m., they will start converging on the Ellipse, a big open park just south of the White louse. There they will form up. state by state, in preparation for the march. At 2 p.m., the parade will be gin, its destination the Lincoln Memorial. The marchers are supposed to be assembled in the open spaces around the memorial by 3 p.m. Integration leaders will climb the steps ' of the memorial and there, under the eyes of the Great Emancipator, will report on the morning's "confrontations" witli Congress and the President.

Congressmen will be invited to come to the assembly points to receive petitions and address their constituents. A congressman who fails to show up will be visited by a small delegation in his of fice on Capitol Hill. But there will be no sit-in on Congress. Early in June, one of King's aides, the Rev. George Lawrence, announced plans for a "massive, militant and monumental sit-in" in the halls and galleries of the Capitol, should Southerners stage a filibuster against the Kennedy rights program. Congress was shocked. Sen. Lis ter Hill. D-Ala., called Lawrence's plan a "blatant attempt to club Congress into submission." Even some of the strongest backers of civil rights bridled at the idea. They said a sit-in would alienate many liberals. Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y: who has charged of the adminis tration's rights program - in the House, said it would cause "tre mendously deep resentment, which undoubtedly would prejudice the cause of the Negro." Negro leaders canceled plans tor a sit-in. One of them, the Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy of the SCLC, said, "after all, when you want legis lation, why tie up the legislative process?" Bui plans still are afoot, in case of a filibuster before or after the 28li., to send 1,000 persons a day to Washington to stage a "counter filibuster" somewhere near the Capitol grounds. CIRCUIT COURT The speeches arc scheduled to last two and a half hours. The six sponsors hope frater nal, labor, religious and other groups will join the march. The National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice says it is go ing to send "many delegations." The leaders want white march ers as well as Negroes. "This is not a Negro demon stration," Fauntroy said. "This is planned as a demonstration of Americans. There are just as many white people as Negroes who want to sec the record of America changed." If all goes as planned, the crowd will break up at 5:30 p.m., just when government offices are letting out. Police plan to block off a large part of the city near the memorial to try to prevent a massive traffic jam. Within two hours, the organiz- Mon., Aug. 5, 1963 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore, 7 ers hope, all of the demonstra-i tors will be back on their buses, trains and planes and on their; way home. i It Pays To Patronize News-Review Advertisers Negro leaders hope the march ers will not lay down their ban ners as soon as they quit Wash ington. The hope is they will "go home inspired" to work for civil rights and to drum up grass roots opposition to any filibuster that might occur later. The effort to involve the "folks back home" will go farther still. Governors arc being urged to de clare Aug. 28 "Freedom Day." And employers arc called upon to give their men a holiday with pay. The national organizations esti mate the march will cost them $05,000. Transportation for 100,000 may run into millions of dollars, but the local groups are going to have to pay for that.
