Newspaper Page Texto Ample Space for Marchers May Help Ward Off Trouble United Preii International Space will be one of the major factors in favor of pull ing off that "march on Wash ington" Wednesday without violence. The elipse, staging area for a marching crowd estimated by planners at more than 100,000, is as big as six foot ball fields. Even if it became completely filled with human ity, there is plenty of spill over room across Constitution Ave. on spacious grounds of the Washington Monument. Constitution Ave. itself is a wide thoroughfare, with six traffic lanes. When demonstrators get the signal to march, they will fall in behind A. Phillip Ran dolph, head of the Negro American Labor Council. They will have a straight line of march with only one 45- degree left turn just before they reach the Lincoln Me morial. There also is plenty of room at the memorial, including a large park to Lincoln's left and a grassy area around a reflecting pool that is four city blocks long In front of the memorial. Plenty of loudspeakers at a rental cost of $18,000 lo march sponsors will amplify voices of the speakers at both the start and finish points of the route. March leaders are expect ing some ruffled feelings as the day wears on, particularly if it is hot and humid. They hope their own marshals can deal wilh such expected prob lems as elderly persons, lost children and demonstrators who can't find the way back to the railroad station after the show is over. "This is not going lo be a fist-shaking march," Roy Wit kins of the NAACP, one of the 10 march leaders, told a reporter. Veterans of racial demon strations in such southern cities as Birmingham, Ala., and Jackson, Miss., could not escape noting the almost open country setting of Wednes day's event as contrasted with the confinement of earlier demonstrations. Another advantage in Wash ington is the absence of build ings along the line of march. Rooftops often have been used as vantage points from which troublemakers pelted demon strators below with rocks and bottles.

Rails Post Sweeping New Work Rule Changes for Third Time Chicago - fUPIl - Notices of sweeping work rules changes were posted in rail terminals and shops across the country today for the third time this summer. The nation's major rail roads braced for a threatened strike by five operating un ions, while Congress worked on legislation to postpone a crippling showdown once again. Both the rules changes and the walkout were scheduled to start at 12:01 a.m. Thurs day. Many key lines began setting-up machinery to handle stranded passengers, perish able produce, livestock and freight in the event of a strike. The railroads prepared to issue embargoes on freight, probably on perishable goods first. Most lines said passenger trains would continue to their destinations. Freight trains, however, might continue only to the nearest terminal, gen erally a division or crew change point. A Pennsylvania Railroad spokesman said his line's pol icy would be "to get both passengers and freight trains to the nearest terminal" rath er than to their intended des tination. Concern Over Livestock A spokesman for the Mil waukee Road "" said efforts would be made to get live stock to terminals with pens, where the animals could be fed and watered. Perishables not carried to their destina tion probably would be sold wherever they were stranded, he said. Both the Illinois Central and the Baltimore and Ohio said passenger trains would proceed to their destinations in the event of a strike. The Chicago and North Western said its passengers and freight trains would be stop ped at the nearest terminal. Many railroads notified non-operating personnel they would be laid off if operating crews walked out. Among those were the New York Central, Illinois Central, Rock Island, Milwaukee Road, North Western, New Haven, Boston and Maine, and Nor folk and Western. The Rock Island said it would shut down completely in the event of a strike. Starts Over Week End Posting of the rules change notices started during the week end. Twice before this summer-both times in July the railroads posted and then withdrew notices to give the White House and Congress time to find a way to pre vent a strike. The rules changes would al low the carriers to eliminate the jobs of all firemen, more than 40,000 jobs, on roads and yard freight service. Further changes in crew makeup and work assignments would elim inate an additional 25,000 jobs. Railroads that posted the rules changes included the New York Central, Pennsyl vania, Santa Fe, Union Pa cific, Southern Pacific, Chi cago and North Western, Mil waukee Road, Baltimore and Ohio, Illinois Central, Rock Island, Burlington, Long Is land, New Haven, Boston and Maine, Sea Bor.it: Air Line, Norfolk and Western, Rich mond - Fredericksburg - Poto mac, Chicago and Great West ern, Kansas' City Terminal, Kansas City Southern, Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
