MARCH
Auto TruveI Urged
To Aug. % Protest

week to march participants, the
leaders warned against bring
ing alcoholic refreshments"
along. They we're told to wear
low-heeled, comfortable shoes
and to bring a raincoat as well
as enough food for two meals
and tablets to guard against
heat exhaustion.
One major uncertainty Of
the August % march is the
exact length and content of the
Lincoln Memorial program.
10 Leaders to Speak
Tentatively, 1t Is planned
that the 10 march leaders will
deliver short messages. They
are: DR.. Martin Luther King,
A. Philip Randolph, Roy Will
kins, Whitney Young, James
Farmer, John Lewis, Walter
Reuther, DR.. Eugene Carson
Blake, Mathew Ahmann, and
Rabbi Joachim Prinz.
There is a possibility that
Marian Anderson will sing the
National Anthem. 1t is pretty
we'll established that Mahalia
Jackson, the Eva Jessie Choir,
and a group Of Freedom Sing
ers will provide additional mu-
sic. The memorial program also
will feature a dramatic skit
by Ossie Davis, former Howard
University student and now q
Broadway playwright.
The big problem now Is to
limit the program to two hours
so that the demonstrators can
begin leaving the District be-
tween 5 and 6 pm.
At the Washington Monu-
ment from 10 am. to noon that
day, Hollywood celebrities will
be presented from a temporary
stage to entertain the throng
as it gathers for the march.
Meanwhile, the question Of
whether President Kennedy
would meet the demonstrators
on August % remained unclear
today. In Hyannis Port, Mass,
at the summer White House,
Presidential Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said he knows
Of no request for President
Kennedy to meet with march
leaders. However, Whitney
Young, executive director of
the Urban League, said here
certain assurances" have been
received that President Ken
needy would see leaders Of the
march. He did not say who
made them.

At issue was a statement Mr..
Meredith gave last June after
a sniper assassinated Negro
leader Medgar Evers at Jack

Mr.. Meredith called for a
general boycott of everything
possible by Negroes" as a pro-
test against the racial situation
in Mississippi.
"A Negroes life is not worth
the air it takes to keep it alive
in Mississippi" he said.
Mr.. Barnett, in seeking to
stop Mr.. Meredith's graduation,
contended the statement vio-
lated a university rule against
inflammatory announcements.

OXFORD. Miss, Aug. 17.-At
his last meal at the University
Of Mississippi, James Howard
Meredith seemed to be enjoying
a delicious sense of irony as
much as his beefsteak.
He showed up in the cafeteria
Wednesday wearing a button
upside down in the lapel of his
neat gray suit.
The button contained the one
word Never" the same badge
white segregationists used to
wear to proclaim their deter
mination to keep Negroes out
Of Old Miss.
Fellow students cast curious
but cautious glances at the
button an the short dark man
wearing it. One or two Smiled
None said anything to him as
he prepared to sit down to the
meal before leaving for Jack
son. During that drive to Jack
son, Mr.. Meredith spoke Of his
plans. He, his wife and young
son were moving shortly to
Washington, D. c., he said. He
said he expected to devote most
of the next year to raising
money for the Meredith Fund
for Underprivileged Students
both white and colored.
Hopes to Enter Law School
He hopes to enter a Law
school in September, 1964-he
didn't know where because he
was interested in the philoso-
ply of law, not in its practice
Ultimately, he plans to return
to Mississippi.
And ultimately, when and II
Negroes are able to vote In
Mississippi in large numbers
might he go into politics down
here?
Mr.. Meredith thought care
fully. as he did with even the
most innocuous question, and
said finally, Il intend to do
what is best for my country
and my people"
You already sound like
politician"
Mr.. Meredith laughed.
Mr.. Meredith ate with relish
grinning at times and seem.
ingly quite pleased with the
broad reminder that he, 9
Negro, had not only managed
to enter the State university
but now almost a year later
was still here, about to grad
uate at the close of the summer
session.
The suspense, however, was
not over. Mr.. Meredith still
faced his trigonometry final
where he desperately needed tt
do well to pass and get his
diploma in four days.

perience," he said. Negroes
havA been suffering the con-
sequences of their inferior
position all along. 1t makes no

'Tve Had Friends Everywhere
Did he feel he had made any
friends at Ole Miss?
I've had friends everywhere
I've been. Ole Miss was no
exception"
He paused, then continued:
You ever been to Tokyo? /

Air Force. It's the only place
in the world where / was near

who came there came referring
to them as Japs. But after two

being was an American CT
This Is not true anywhere ir
America. You're always a Ne
gro here and always made con.

Was he glad the year was
over at Ole Miss?
Mr.. Meredith pondered the
question at length.
II guess I'll never put Ole
Miss in perspective" he said,
finally. Its just one aspect
of the whole problem. You see,
I still have three carloads of
marshals with me-"
1t wasn't until we approached
the small town Of Kosciusko,
where his parents live, that
Mr.. Meredith seemed to allow
the cautious curtain around his
private sense of tension to
drop even for a moment. Sud-
denly he was saying:
What I need to do now is
to get me an old mule and pillow
up half an acre and cuss and
whoop! More than anything
else, I need to unwind"

Meredith should not be grad

violated a university directive
against "inflammatory" state

SOviets and Red Chinese Take a
 Temporary Recess

MOSCOW R Soviet and Chinese delegations to the Moscow Peking reconciliation conference recessed their meeting without ex- planation Tuesday. Informed quar- terS said the suspension was only temporary and that there was no rupture.
 Communist Chinese negotiators had failed to show up for the days session after the Soviet Union fired new charges at Red China and warned of dangerous conse- quences." They spent their day working at the Chinese embassy.
 One source said the Chinese in the initial talks had again pro- posed a world conference of Com muniSt parties to settle the dis pute, but advocated a voting pro- cedure on population basis which would give China the dominating voice. The Soviet reaction could be surmised as totally negative.
 The interruption in the ideo- logical talks between the two Com munist giants came as Belgian Foreign Minister Paul H e n r Spaak, returning from a meeting with Premier Khrushchev, pre- dicted Soviet relations with the West will improve.
 The Soviet Communist party Central Committee earlier accused the Chinese of deliberately aggra- vating Soviet-Chinese relations at a time when the two countries are discussing theological differences.
 The Soviet blast came shortly after Khrushchev snubbed the Mos cow meeting with the Chinese and conferred in Kiev with Spaak on easing cold war tensions. The Chinese militantly oppose Khrush chev's peaceful co-existence policy underlined by his meeting with Spaak.

Project 64-I-2 Leads To a Dog Fight

WASHINGTON R - Project 64-I-2 led to dog fight in the House but when it was finished only President Kennedy's sigma ture was needed to supply the Atomic Energy Commissions dogs with kennels.
 The fracas broke out on the floor Monday as a S2l6 million authori- zation bill for the AEC came up for a vote.
 Rep. Jack Westland, R-WnD, fired the opening salvo by pro- posing an amendment to eliminate S500,000 sought for the project - additional animal quarters, Love lace Found ton, Albuquerque, NM"
 Westland said the money would build kennels for 600 dogs for experiments in which the animals inhale radioactive material. He got help from Rep. H. R. Gross, R- IoWa, who said, "I don't under stand why they don't use cats, it costs less to house them"
 The AEC hopes the experiments will tell scientists more about the effect of radioactive materials on humans. The House said go ahead, defeating Westland's amendment 46 to 20 and sending the bill to the President.

Guests of the Day
 At Chamber Luncheon

Recognized as guests of the day on Monday were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Auld of Kerrville, Tex, who were invited to the Chamber of Com merce meeting. MT. Auld is on his 23rd trip to the north and has many fine specimens and trophies to prove it. He has wondered why reindeer are not herded with water collies like those used in Texas, as one dog "can do the herding work of ten EskimoS in the summer time.'
 Other guest of the Chamber meeting were Mrs. Helen Sumner, from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, who held series of hearings here on Mon day; Martin Underwood, Commits sioner of Public Safety; Harriet Mueller, new physio-therapist for the MIMI Hospital; Rev. Eugene Morrell, new pastor of the Church of the Nazarene; Chip Swanson, radio engineer for KICY.
 Sen. Lester Bronson reported on a trip to the Serpentine Springs stating that they are wonderfully hot and the Chamber members ought to charter plane and take advantage of what the springs have to offer. Bronson also had made a survey of the unemployed which showed 65 people not work ing, who are receiving ESC at this time and that he had an ap- plication for REA funds as soon as more persons are added to the list
 President Frank Couch report ed on the dinner given in honor of the visiting Navy officials over the 4th of July holiday and dis played the USS Savage plaque which was presented to the Cham Der for the courtesy shown the ship and it's crew while in this port.
 Judge Hugh Gilbert was well comed home and when queried, stated definitely that there would be a replacement here for him within a few months, after his appointment to the bench in the 3rd Division was announced.

Disaster Year for Red Salmon Run

JUNEAU R - Barring some thing abnormal, disaster year for the rich Bristol Bay red salmon fishery appeared in the making Tuesday.
 A total return of Is million fish, including those caught on the high seas by Japanese fishermen, had been forecast for the bay this year.
 Through Saturday, however, the total catch by American fishermen in Bristol Bay and the total es- capement of Bristol Bay reds was begged at mere 3.8 million fish, including a catch of 1.7 million fish and an escapement of 2.1 million.
 The total return of Bristol Bay reds was approximately 12 million fish year ago, including the Japanese high seas catch.
 Fish and Game Commissioner Walter Kirkness said that while the United States had been ad- vised of the total high seas salmon catch by the Japanese this year, it was not known how many of these fish were Bristol Bay reds.
 The peak of the Bristol Bay red run almost invariably comes be- tween July and July 8, but, with fishing generally slow throughout the season on the bay, kirkness commented:
 To tell the truth, we don't know whether the peak of the run is over or whether something ab- normal has happened which might still give up a substantial run, even at this late date"
 Explaining his reference to an abnormal happening, Kirkness said there were indications Bristol Bay reds might have migrated farther west than usual this year.
 If this is actually what happened, the reds could be delayed in their spaWing runs to Bristol Bay river systems.
 "All we can do it wait and see what happens" Kirkness said.
