Police Ready
For Aug. 20,
Murray Says

Metropolitan Police Chief
Robert v. Murray yesterday
said he was sure leaders OF
the August % march on Wash
ington want a peaceful demon
Stration, and that his forces
are well-prepared to handle
any trouble.
But, he noted, Federal troops
at nearby military installations
will be available If a full-scale
disturbance breaks out. The
last time Federal troops were
used in Washington, he re-
called, was when the 10000
m e Der Bonus Army
marched on the Capital in
1882.
More than 100000 persons
are expected to attend the Au-
gust % rally.
II have talked with the lead
ers, and I think the leadership
is sincere" Chief Murray said
on WRC's Dimension Four"
television show. THE leader
ship wants this march to be
peaceful"
The biggest trouble might
come from counter-pickets of
the job-and-rightS march, he
said. George Lincoln Rockwell,
leader of the American Nazi
Party, has told the chief he
will bring 10000 persons here
to demonstrate against tn e
marchers.
II tried to persuade him not
to stage any counter-demon-
Stration," Chief Murray said,
but I think he'll still show up.
We'll just have to see that
the groups don't get close
enough together to start any
trouble"
