First Amendment
WASHINGTON (UP1) The
First Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution specifically guaran
tees "the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a
redress of grievances."
Today's civil rights demonstra
tion is but the latest in a long
scries of historic occasion when
Americans have marched on
their capital city to invoke that
right.
One of the first and most
famous marches was that of
"Coxey's Army" in 1894. The
country was in the grip of a
severe depression and there were
many unemployed.
"General" Jacob Coxey, a
Massillon, Ohio, businessman,
gathered 300 of the town's job
less workers to accompany him
in a march on Washington to de
mand that the government under-take-public
works.
His'raggcd little "army" gath
ered recruits along the route to
Washington and was about 500
strong when it encamped on the

outskirts of the capital. Coxey
and a small group of marchers
went to the capitol building to
present their demands.
There were charged by mount
ed police. Coxey was arrested and
spent 20 days in jail, the First
Amendment notwithstanding. His
pathetic "army" remained in
Washington for several months,
until government funds were pro
vided to transport the marchers
back to their homes.
In 1913, suffragettes began or
ganizing marches on Washington
to demand votes for women. The
largest demonstration, on March
13, 1913, saw 5.000 women march
ing determinedly down Pennsyl
vania Avenue. (Women were fi
nally granted suffrage in 1921).
The Great Depression of the
1930s prompted several "hunger
marches" on Washington. The
largest was that of the so-called
"Bonus Army" thousands of
World War I veterans who con
verged on the city in June, 1932,
while Congress was debating a
soldiers' bonus bill.

The House passed the bill, but
the Senate, with 12.000 veterans

whelmingly rejected the measure.
Congress voted money to send
the bonus marchers home, but
many of them continued to camp
in abandoned buildings near the
Capitol. Police who tried to evict
them were driven oft with clubs
and rocks.

APPOINTMENT SET
OLYMPIA, Wash. UPI The

by Gov. Albert D. Rosellini.
Representatives from Alaska,
Washington, Oregon, California
and Idaho make up the commission.
Principal goal
of march seen
out of reach
WASHINGTON IUPI) - The
principal goal of today's "march
on Washington" speedy passage
of a strong civil rights bill was
clearly out of reach before the
first banner was unfurled.
Ten weeks after President Ken
nedy asked for passage of the
most sweeping civil rights legisla
tion since Civil War Reconstruc
tion days, the congressional out
look still is too blurred for de
tailed prediction.
But two conclusions, based on
past performance and the current
congressional attitude, seem sate.
First, Congress will act on
civil rights at its own deliberate
pace. Those who have been
through civil rights battles before
consider Christmas a highly op
timistic target date for final
action.
Second, Congress will pass a
bill based on. but not tied to,
Kennedy's suggestions. Even the
most ardent civil rights support
ers in Congress do not expect
the final legislation to be as
strong as the President's request.
Right now. an 11-member House
judiciary subcommittee is deep in
"general discussion" of the Ken
nedy bill.
Two parts of the Kennedy bill
appear to be the most obvious
sources of controversy.
The first is the section that
would forbid the operators of ho
tels, restaurants, stores and other
public accommodations to bar Ne
gro customers. The second would
authorize the federal government
to deny aid funds to states or
communities which practice dis
crimination in their use
ALL-TIME HIGH
PORTLAND (UP1) - Consum-
prices in Portland rose to
an all-time high in July, accord
ing to U.S. Department of Lebor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Food costs were the most im
portant factor in the advance,
rising 1.2 per cent. Housing costs
were up 0.8 per cent and medical
care, and other goods and serv
ices also increased.
Transportation, apparel prices,
and reading and recreation costs
dropped, the bureau said.

Big contingent
of newsmen on
hand for march
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Today's
march on Washington was covered
by one of the largest contingents
of newsmen ever assembled in the
nation's capital.
The police department issued
about 1,000 special press passes,
good only for the day of the
march, in addition to the 1,200
regular press cards held year
round by full-time Washington
correspondents.
Tents were set up on the
grounds of the Lincoln Memorial
and Washinglon Monument to
serve as temporary communica
tions centers for the small army
of news service and newspaper
reporters and photographers, and
the broadcasting media represent
atives, covering the event.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tel
ephone Co. said it had installed
100 telephone lines, 68 radio cir
cuits and 27 television pickups
along the line of march.

to say they want first class citi

a member of Congress, which is
now considering civil rights legis
lation, he could not consider the
appeal "purely routine."
The march was intended to
answer once and for all the oft-
repeated accusations in some
parts of the country that the
normal pattern of racial peace
is being upset only by the influx
of "outside agitators."
No 6ooze today

WASHINGTON (UPI) The
nation's capital was bone-dry for
today's civil right march.
The District of Columbia com
missioners issued an order ban
ning the sale or serving of alco
holic beverages by bars, restaur
ants or package stores from
midnight Tuesday until 2 a.m.,

The Liquor Dealers' Associa

Segregationist
wins runoff
in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. (UPD LL
Gov. Paul Burney Johnson Jr.,
the defiant segregationist who
won Tuesday's Democratic pri
mary runoff for governor, ac
cepted congratulations today
from Gov. Ross Barnett, one of
his chief supporters.
Barnett, prohibited by law from
succeeding himself, paid a post
midnight call to Johnson's hotel
suite and expressed delight with
the decisive triumph over former
Gov. J. P. Coleman.
With all but 64 of the state's
1.874 precincts complete, John
son had 247,678 votes to Cole
man's 186,469.
Barnett called it "an endorse
ment of states rights, constitu
tional government and segrega
tion ot the races.
Johnson, 47, lost three earlier
races for governor, but in this
campaign he capitalized on the
University of Mississippi integra
tion crisis and opposition to the
Kennedy administration to sweep
the state with the exception of
a few counties in Coleman' na
tive northeast Mississippi and a
couple of strong labor counties
in south Mississippi.
Johnson, a gaunt and balding
son of a former governor, joined
Barnett in physically blocking the
admission of Negro James Mere
dith to "Ole Miss" last fall. The
lieutenant governor told voters he
had "stood up for Mississippi"
and he repeatedly attacked Cole
man for supporting John Kennedy
in the I960 presidential race.
