lean Legionnaires aided by Oberlin
police yesterday interrupted an anti
war rally of Oberlin College students
here long enough to seize placards

DR.. James Austin Richards, pastor

bers snatched up the signs, threw
them into truck and departed. The
rally had been called by the Oberlin
College Public Affairs Society, the
Y. w. C. A., Oberlin Radical Club and
the National Student League.
Police Chief Robert Parrish later
said he went with the Legionnaires
when they protested that the placards
were inappropriate, an insult to the

the signs read. Another said, Trans
