the survivors of a little band of II
which set out from Wilmington in

The demonstrators, according to a
handout from the Fellowship of
Reconciliation, were war refugees
in al: but fact" One difference,
however. was the fact that refugees
can't quit. This group dwindled
while walking 120 miles, to Wash
ington, sleeping in churches by the
wayside and subsisting on war zone
rations."

a Happy Easter While Millions
Starve in Europe?" and 'Thirty-five
Million Lives at Stake, Dare We
Hesitate?"
The marchers were to go to the
State Department today to present
