f Jt ! I f Prayer Of Eldsrly Woman Answered As Capital Civil Rights March Remains Peaceful By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) Soon after sunrise Wednesday Mrs. Aquilla Bateman, a 74-year-old Negro from Washington, limped on her bad leg to the foot of the Lincoln memorial, bowed her head and asked a small favor of the Lo-d. She prayed for peace, peace among nations and peace for evermore. She wanted peace for this one and in this one city. "0 Lord, be with us today Not not just day and keep us in the hollow of your hand," she said. "May we love each other. May we get together. I pray that nobody will do any thing personal bad to anybody else in Washington today.' Mrs. Bateman, a deaconess in the Baptist Church, said she was the first marcher to appear at the Lincoln Memorial grounds. She wanted a front row position and she decided to put into words the stark fear that had haunted the nights and days of integration leaders, federal officials and the 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore Thur., Aug. 29,1963 Washington Police Department. It was the fear that Wednes day's massive march to the na tion's capital would wind up in a bloody shambles. Many Without Sleep All the ingredients were there. Two hundred thousand persons were in a highly emotional state. Many had gone without sleep. The sun was hot, it was difficult to get a drink of water or a sand wich. And, lurking on the fringes of the march, were people and or ganizations who did not want the demonstration to be peaceful and orderly. They knew and so did the leaders of thp march that a sudden burst of temper could be a spark that would ignite a bon- SMOKERS' JACKPOT TOKYO (UPI) - Smokers of one of Japan's cheapest brands of cigarettes were unexpectedly puffing the country's best tobacco today.

The integration leaders took the grim gamble that a riot could set back their cause 10 years and perhaps doom it. The fear ran like a fever through the streets from the time the marchers massed at the Washington Monument. Then two wide, sluggish rivers of humanity began moving from the monu ment to the Lincoln Memorial. There was sweat, toil and tears. The sweat of thousands of per sons carrying heavy placards and shuffling along under an August sun. The toil of police and the marchers' own marshals fighting to get them to a certain place at a certain time in the face of an inexorable schedule. The tears of children suddenly separated from their parents. Toil, sweat and tears yes. But no blood. Slowly the throng filled the emp ty spaces around the majestic COMB IS EMBLEM COLOGNE, Germany (UPI) Innkeeper Willy Breuer announced today the formation of the "Na tional Brotherhood of the Bald" to help West German men who lose their hair "to overcome their in feriority complexes." Breuer, who is bald, said the brotherhood's emblem is a comb. memorial where the great stone face of the Emancipator broods and peers toward - the distant dome of the Capitol. There was no pushing, no fighting for posi tion, no voices shrill with anger. The program began. White voices and black voices were lift ed in song. Catholic voices, Jew ish voices, white voices and black voices uttered prayers and made speeches. At 4:28 p.m. Dr. Benja min E. Mays pronounced the ben ediction and a soft amen rustled along the light breeze. The crowd began to move out to buses, chartered planes, spe cial trains, automobiles.

U.S. Public's Broadening Dimensions Create Need For Wider Seats By GAY PAULEY UPI Women' Editor "' NEW YORK (UPI) Sitting down uses up more space today than it did with earlier genera tions. , , A report on our broadening di mensions comes from the manag er of research and development for a company which calls itself The World Of Public Seating. The firm did Radio City Music Hall Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall, all of the major league bll parks, the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives, and schools, thpatprs. nthor , churches and the nation. B. W. Henrikson, a Brooklyn born engineer who for 13 years has headed research and market ing for the American Seating Co., Grand Rapids, Mich, said: "There is not question but what the American people are getting bigger. We have military statis tics, school statistics, numerous studies to show that the stature generally is up. "With it, all the body dimensions have grown including the part we sit on." "All you have to do is go to what I mean," said Henrikson. "The seats are just too narrow now. Some of the old stadiums have seats measuring as only 17 and 18 inches wide. That's a real tight squeeze for today's fan. "Now, nothing less than 20 in ches is recommended." Big Seels it Lincoln Center "We installed 20 inchers at Lin coln Center. In some movie hous es, we're doing seats 21 and 22 inches wide," he said. The research specialist said that "in working with the U. S. Office of Education and school of- some of the older ball parks to seeificials generally we've found that grade for grade, school children are larger too." So the seat of learning also is made wider. Hendrikson believes, however, MAKES GOOD PROGRESS WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Clair Engle, D Calif., is expect ed to be released from Doctors Hospital within a week or 10 days following brain surgery Saturday. The operation on the 51-year-old Callfornian was needed to correct circulatory trouble that affected his right arm and leg. His office said Wednesday his recovery conunues to De excellent that this overall expansion by re cent generations "will level off otherwise, I dread to think what will evolve a million years from now." Henrikson, the company presi dent, James M. VerMeulen, and other company executives were in New York this week for the Amer ican Hospital Association's con vention. The firm has just intro duced an electrical hospital bed, with push button control which the patient or nurse can use to al ter the angle of rest. Henrikson talked of how class room seating has changed in the more than 75 years his firm has been in the business. He believes today's free-moving desks and chairs are far more comfortable, more correctly contoured for good postuife, than the early numbers of wood with castiron frame fast ened to the floor. REDS RETURN VESSELS HELSINKI, Finland (UPI) -The Soviet Union Wednesday re turned two Finnish trawlers and a motor launch which Russian war ships arrested in the Gulf of Fin land Monday. The Russians con tended the vessels had entered soviet waters, They're also more colorful, with such shades as prairie taupe, canyon gold, corktone beige, val ley green and sagebrush featured. The lighter shades help to provide the "ideal" of a three to one ra tio of light contrast between the work surface and the reading matter, he said. They also make a classroom less institutional in looks. Wood, lie said, "is virtually out for classroom seating." It ; has been replaced by plastics mould ed plastic for the chairs, laminat ed plastic tops on desks which are "tough", and "easily scrub bable." But, we wondered, can a child leave hphinri hie school history by carving his ini- urna in me sunace oi plastic as millions of children of other days did with the dark stained woods? No, he conceded, because the plastics are harder to cut. "And," said Henrikson, "may be the kids wouldn't if ihou There aren't many jack-knives aruuno anymore.
