Segro Woman Frays for
Peace Prior to March
Washington-(UPD-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 Lord.
She prayed for peace. Not
peace among nations and not
peace for evermore. She just
wanted peace for this one day
and in this one city.
"Oh Lord, be with us to
day and keep us in the hol
low of your hand," she said.
"May we love each other.
May we get together. I pray
that nobody will do anything
personally 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 Me
morial 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 inte
gration leaders, federal offi
cials and the Washington po
lice department.
It was the fear that
Wednesday's massive march
to the nation's capital would
wind up in a bloody
shambles.
All the ingredients were
there. Two hundred thousand
persons were in a highly
emotional stale. Many had
gone without sleep. The sun
was hot, .it was difficult to
get a drink ol water or a
sandwich.
And, lurking on the fringes
of the march, were people
and organizations who did
did not want the demonstra
tion to be peaceful and order
ly. They knew and so did
the leaders of the march
that a sudden burst of tem
per could be a spark that
would ignite a bonfire that
could become a holocaust.
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 riv
ers of humanity began mov
ing from the monument to
the Lincoln Memorial.
There was sweat, toil and
tears. The sweat of thou
sands of persons 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 cer
tain place at a certain time
in the face 06 an inexorable
srhprinle. The tears of chil
dren suddenly separated
from their parents.
Toil, sweat and tears yes.
But no blood.
The program began. White
voices and black voices were
lifted in song. Catholic voices,
Jewish voices, white voices
and black voices uttered pray
ers and made speeches. At
4:28 p.m. Dr. Benjamin E.
Mays pronounced the benedic
tion and a soft amen rustled
along the light breeze.
The crowd began to move
out to buses, chartered planes,
special trains, automobiles.
The buses raced their motors,
thA nlanps rpvvpH their nro-
pollors, the train conductors
called all aboard and the auto
mobiles fanned out of Wash
ington traffic onto the high
ways to Texas, California,
New York, Chicago.
The brooding statue of
Abraham Lincoln looked out
across the debris of discarded
newspapers, torn placards,
empty sandwich bags, trodden
grass. The roar of internal
combustion engines filled the
air. Rut in the midst of noise.
disorder and debris, one fact
remained.
Mrs. Bateman's prayer had
been heeded and answered.

Castro Wants New U.S. Relations
Madrid - IUPII - Cuban Pre
mier Fidel Castro hopes to
resume diplomatic relations
with the United States, ac
cording to one of the Ameri
can youths who defied a State
Department ban to visit Cuba.
Fifty-four of the original
59 youths were scheduled to
fly back to New York today
and face government sanc
tions for their unauthorized
trip.
Three other students re
mained in Cuba temporarily,
one returned to the United
States Monday and one
drowned in a swimming acci
dent during the eight - week
tour, for which the Cubans
paid all expenses.
Robert Kaffke, a San Fran
cisco State college student
said Wednesday "Castro
would like to resume diplo
matic relations with the U.S.
He told me so."
Kaffke, one of 26 students
in the group from the San
Francisco area, said he was
favorably impressed by the
guided tour of Cuba.
"I'm for socialism in the
Cuban sense," he said. He
added that he was not a mem
ber of any political group.
"Castro is not attempting
to spread the Cuban revolu
tion," Kaffke said.
Possible Penalties
Clinton Jencks, 19, and his
wife Dee, 18, also students
at San Francisco State, said
they were worried about pos
sible penalties arising from
the visit.
"But the trip was worth
it," Jencks said. "Now I know
the truth about Cuba. The
people are happy there."
He denied earlier state
ments auriouiea 10 mm mai
the Cubans had never been
worse off. He said he had
been misunderstood.
Mrs. Jencks said represen
