A four story yellow stucco
house stands alone on a block
of red brick tenements near
a playground in New York
City's Harlem.
There is no air condition
ing against the August heat.
In a second floor reception
reaftest Freedom inarch'
room, a crepe paper mural of
trees, flowers and hills is be
ginning to peel from one
green wall. Only the 10 tele
phones and a switchboard are
brand new.
In this building - a com
munity house where social
workers toiled last month to
keep children off the streets-

ion
a handful of men and women
are organizing what they in
tend to be the greatest civil
rights demonstration in Amer
ica's history.
The building on West 130th
street is the national office of
a group caller the "March
on Washington For Jobs And
Freedom." The march, Aug,
28, is designed to bring at
least 100,000 persons to the
Capital. The marchers will
include both Negroes and
whites.
Staggering Plan
The logistics problem would
stagger a general. How do
you transport proverty-strick-
en Negroes from the Delta out
side Greenwood, Miss., to
Washington?
Or fill a train from Con
necticut and charter a jet
plane from San Francisco?
And how, on a $65,000 bud
get, do you reach the unem
ployed, church groups, fra
ternities, labor unions and
convince them to take part
in a rally in the middle of the
summer vacation season?
The march leaders over the
years have had considerable
experience organizinz demo
strations. They are the heads
of the nation's most power
ful civil rights groups.
The official call for the rector of the Congress of Rac
march was issued July 12 by ial Equality (CORE); the Rev.
James Farmer, national di- Martin Luther King, president

Leadership conference; John

committee: Roy Wilkins, ex

(NAACP); Whitney Young,
executive director of the Ur

Randolph, president of the
Negro American Labor coun
cil. March Chairman
Randolph, head of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters, is chairman of the
march.
"The purpose of the march
is, by a massive, peaceful, and
democratic demonstration in
the nation's capital, to provide
evidence of the need for the
federal government to take
effective and immediate ac
tion to deal with the national
crisis of civil rights and jobs
that all of us, Negro and
white, are facing," says the
official demonstration man
ual. "Politically the march is
non partisan," the book stres
ses. President Kennedy is sup
porting the demonstration. "1
look forward to being there,"
said the President at a recent
news conference.
The Negro leaders have
quietly held conferences with
representatives of the Justice
department and with local
Washington officials. They
discussed routes, communi
cations and above all, secur
ity. Peaceful Plan
The march on Washington
is planned as a peaceful dem
onstration - and Negro lead
ers want to keep it that way.

they refer to it ai t "non. '
violent" march.
CORE In Washington
busy recruiting 2,000 mar-.!
ahals to keep order. They will
be directed by members of
the Guardiani, a society of
Negro policemen on the New
York City force. Current .
plans call fnr th m...t..i. ' -
and Guardians to train in
crowa control and rehearse,
along the line of march sev- "
eral days before the demon
stration. . .
The District of Columbia's
2,800-man police force is tak-
ing no chances. All leaves '
have been cancelled for the :
day of the march.
One potential source of
trouble is the American Nazi
party with its headquarters
just across the river from
Washington In Arlington, Va.
The party asked permission to
stage a "counter demonstra-.-.
non," but police refused.
Avoid Incidents
There appears to be a tin.
cere desire on the part of -civil
rights leaders and tha ".'
police to avoid any Incident .
resembling the bonus march
of 1932 when an "army" of
20,000 veterans and their fam- '
ilies came to Washington to -demand
early payment ot
World I bonuses.
Police tried to move the
demonstrators from Treasury "
Duuaings, fighting broke out
and two persons were killed. .
The demonstration ended ,
when President Herbert Hoo- .
ver called out the army.
What will happen in Wash
ington 31 years later? These
are the latest plans for the '
civil rights march:
It is strictly a one-dav af- 1
fair. "The size and scope of '
uus march make It imnera-
tive that all participants come
in ana go out on the same
day," says the organization -manual.
But some groups may .
come the day before. Church- .
es are being asked to turn .
parish houses into dormito
ries. A call has gone out to ,
the Red Cross for cots.
By 10 a.m. pickets will
amuiv: ai ui ciiurcnes

ffreitxmen and wnitnrt will hj

meeting their congressmen
and senators, a group ot lead
ers plus an unemployed white
and colored worker will try
to call on President Kennedy
at the White House. They will
seek to present the demands
of the demonstration which
include passage by Congress
of "effective and meaningful"
civil rights legislation, with
out filibuster; immediate de

By noon, the marchers wilt -
begin converging on the El
Hose, a Dark lust south of
the White House. There they
will form state by state for

morial. It is a distance ot '
about one mile.
There will be speeches at
the memorial and a public ad- '
dress system will carry the '
