"We anticipate lots of ar rests today," said one of the integrationlsts at the scene of the demonstration, a medical center construction project in Brooklyn. By 11:30 a.m. (edt) 58 per sons - 39 men and 19 women - had been arrested and haul ed away to station houses where they were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The ministers stood shoul der to shoulder and sang the integration hymn, "We Shall Not Be Moved." They were still singing as they entered a paddy wagon. The demonstrators had tried to halt concrete mixers entering the Brooklyn con struction site. Similar at tempts earlier this week led to mass arrests. In Washington, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy said there was no evidence that any top leaders of the major, civil rights movement are Commu nist or Communist-dominated. Kennedy said Communists efforts to infiltrate the civil rights groups had "been re markably unsuccessful." Negro leader Martin Lu ther King Jr. on Wednesday called for the creation of a special federal police force to protect integrationlsts. . While People Organise In Columbus, Ohio, the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of White People filed articles of incorporation with the Ohio secretary of state. Papers said the group was dedicated to the cause of developing and preserving a law-abiding society. Headquarters will be in Cincinnati. King said after a "summit meeting" of Negro leaders in New York Wednesday that he would propose such a force to President Kennedy next month during a planned civil rights march in Washington. King said a federal clvtl rights force Is "seriously needed to Investigate com plaints of local police brutal ity against integrationlsts. Such complaints currently are not acted upon, he said, be cause the government claims it lacks jurisdiction. Around 265 persons, includ ing a dozen whites, marched in front of the York, Pa., city hall Wednesday in a protest against segregation. - There were no incidents during the two-hour demonstration. The Congress of Racial Equality CORE said at New Orleans it would launch an intensive voter registration drive today in eight Louisiana parishes. At Baton Rouge, La., where Negroes and po lice scuffled at a swimming pool Tuesday, authorities warned Wednesday they would move quickly to block any further rowdy desegrega tion demonstrations. Boy Sleeps on Bench ! After Losing Dollar Mcdford city police officers 'discovered a 14-year-old boy about 1:15 o'clock this mor i . lug. curled up and sound ! asleep on a concrete bench on Fifth si. Roused by the officers, the yout'.sstor said he couldn't go home until he got a dollar. Ho explained that around noon Wednesday his mother had given him $1 and told him to go buy five loaves of bread. But on the way to the store, somehow, he lost the monev. When he went back home, his mother told him to go out and find the dollar and not 1 to come back until he had. The shivering youngster took her at her word, and , when he couldn't find the money, he decided to make the cold bench his bed for the night. The officers look him home - dollar or no dollar.

Two Issues in California Legislature lilt lit made naturally... io naturally it's bttler 1 Sacramento - (UPD - The leg islature narrowed its three week old special session down to two issues today: the budg et and aid-to-education. Both problems could be solved by Friday, or they could go into next week. The situation in a nutshell was this: Budget - Before the assem bly were two versions of the administration's budget aug mentation bill. They varied by about $10 million but nei ther was actually acceptable to the lower chamber. Aid-to-Education - A bill boosting state aid to local school districts by $100 mil lion during the next two years was on the assembly floor. It included a controver sial feature to take money from rich districts and give it to the poor districts in the same county. This apeared to be unacceptable to the senate. A sometimes bitter inter house battle was raging over the budget and even the per sonal intervention of Gov. Ed mund G. Brown apparently could not solve it. The governor met Wednes day afternoon with Speaker Jesse M. Unruh (D-lngle-wood) and Sen. Stephen P. Teale (D-Westpoint) in an effort to gain a compromise between the two houses. Immediately after the ses sion, Unruh returnea to uie ulw imr and called the a&aciiiv.j ways and means committee into session to pass a budget bill identical to the spending program asked by Brown when the special session open ed. It totals $114 million. Later in the evening, the senate met to approve 28-6 a trimmed-down version total ing $105 million and send it to the lower chamber, where Unruh said it would not be approved. , County Sells Land At Tax Sale Today cl i.Dfli. nf lanH in Jack 0 1 IIO.H U . - ... son county were purchased at the tax sale conducted this morning by the sheriff's de partment for the Jackson county court at the court house.
