Bus Problem
Delays Riders
Free Trip North
OFF Till Monday
By CLARENCE HUNTER
Star Staff Writer

Quar- 6JaAL nIlteE
NEW ORLEANS, April 27. -
There will be no freedom buses
taking Negroes north from here
this week end, a Citizens Coun-
Gil spokesman announced to-
day.
George L. Singelmann, a di-
rector Of the council, said the
buses will leave sometime Mon
day.
THE problem arose yester-
day." he said, when the bus
company said it did not know
what it would do If too many
people showed up"
II talked with the bus COM
pany and they are bringing in
standby equipment and extra
drivers Monday to take care OF
the crowd" Mr.. Singelmann
said.
Mr.. Singelmann said he is
arranging free bus rides north
for Negroes only with the Con-
tinental railways Co.
The bus company manager
however, could not be reached
| to confirm Mondays trave
plans as announced by Mr.
Singelmann.
Vague on d. c. List
Yesterday, the Trailway'
manager said the Council hac
not purchased any tickets fol
Negroes to leave the city since
those for Lewis Boyd, his wifi
and eight children. The Boyd
left here last week end for New
York.
Mr.. Singelmann remained
Steadfast in his claim that HI
has enough Negroes to fill al
least two 40-paSSenger buses fol
Northern cities. He continued
to be vague about the number
of Negroes who have expressed
a desire to leave here for Wash
ington. He said the number is
LESS than TO-" but he refused
to disclose any names or ad-
dresses.
Mother Changes Mind
Most Of the persons who
have contacted the Citizens
Council about the free bus ride
north have indicated a desire
to be resettled in New York
City, Mr.. Singelmann reported.
Earlier this week he had
claimed that he had two bus
loads Of Negroes who wanted
to be transported to Washing
ton, but he said these people
for reasons unknown to him
changed their minds and set
New York City as their goal.
One person who had planned
to take the freedom bus to New
York City was a 42-year-old
Negro mother of eight children.
The mother, Mrs. Hilda Harris,
said this morning she had
changed her mind about leav-
ing New Orleans.
II was going to try and go
to New York City," she said.
II have no relatives there but
was going to try and find a
job in a laundry or I was going
to try to do housework."

space to be provided. and where
it is to be placed.

ers have been calling for
changes in the Smith plan that
would increase the number of
parking spaces over the total
originally provided for.

rects the consultant to:
l. Study and make recon-
mendations on the possibility of
reducing or eliminating surface
parking "by putting it under

improved public access for
both pedestrians and vehicles
for boaters and other water
front users without the need
to provide such access ways
through the public parks"
3. Make recommendations on
greater separation Of pedes-
trians and motor vehicles in the
entire waterfront area"
4. Advise as to location Of
businesses and the kind Of

quirements to be written into

time schedule for disposing of

erS will be properly co-ordi-

sultants for specific RESPONSE
