March Expenses
Are Tax Problem
BY the Associated Press

Internal Revenue Service ex-
perts apparently are having q
tough time trying to determine
whether leaders of the march
on Washington can deduct
travel expenses from their in
come tax.
If each Of the leaders is re-
imbursed by his organization,
1t seems likely that no tax rul-
ing will be involved since most
of the Negro organizations are
non-profit and pay no income
taxes.
If a leader pays for his trip
to Washington out OF his own
pocket, there will be strone
doubts as 10 whether he can
deduct this amount from his
individual income tax return
Workers for some non-profit
organizations can deduct such
expenses but only II the organ
ization is not trying TO influ-
ence legislation.
Obviously, the object of the
March on Washington is To
persuade Congress to pass a
civil rights bill.
The IRIS was asked about
the tax status Of the leaders
but a spokesman said several
hours later that experts there
had not reached agreement and
that they needed more time
TO study the matter.
There seemed a strong pos
sibility that television and
movie stars who plan TO take
part in the march can deduct
their expenses as a publicity
expenditure. 4

Duncan Leaves

John B. Duncan, the Dis

platform at the Lincoln Me-

Mr.. Duncan worked in his
office at the District Building
until noon, then left for the
ceremonies at the memorial.
He and Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner, president Of the
board, watched the march on
television in Mr.. Tobriner's
office, and received up-to-the-
minute reports from the COM
munications center at the
Municipal Center.
Mr.. Duncan gave Mr.. To-
briner his proxy to act on any
emergency situations should

During the night, passengers

The Detroit group included

duty this morning was dispens-
ing pills to remedy the effects

Among the songs the group

Stars of stage, screen and
television joined the march on
Washington today and nearly
brought on disorders which
march planners sought to avoid.
In a crushing, three abreast
walk along the Rejecting Pool
led by Harry Belafonte, Burt
Lancaster, Marion Brando,
Charlton Heston, Sidney Potter
and Robert Ryan-and some
Is stars and their hangers-on
were shouted at and grabbed at
along the way from the Wash
ington Monument to the Lin
coin Memorial.
Screams of "Hiya Burt, "
Thanks for coming" and Hey,
Marion" were backed up by a
wall Of people, held back only
by a Gordon of police with
linked arms.
Press agents turned into
generals as they shouted for the
celebrities to form a line when
they first struggled up to the
Monument Grounds by bus
from the airport.
Later along the march, as
the stars were squeezed into a
smaller and smaller space, the
6-foot-and-over actors, such as
Mr.. Lancaster and Mr.. Ryan,
helped to keep the crowd from
pushing into the line by stand
ing near the police blockade
and shaking the hands which
grabbed at them.
They reached the Memorials
steps at 1910, at which time
Burt Lancaster said, isn't this

who said nothing. Robert Ryan
started to talk to a rank-and-
file marcher who later went
away with a broad grin.

come from California, Paris
and New York, met at the

Emergency
Put
Into Service

Emergency housing facilities
were pressed into service almost
as soon as demonstrators began
arriving in the Capital yester-
day.
Some 300 persons were &C
commodated in churches, uni
versities and private homes last
night.
David P. Rusk, a volunteer
worker for the Urban Leagues
Housing Committee, said 104
demonstrators from Wisconsin
were housed last night at the
Mt. Joy Baptist Church, 5l1
Fourth street Sc. They came
here in three buses.
Fifty men and 40 womer
from San Francisco stayed
overnight at American Univer-
sity. About a dozen marcher:
were sent to the Augustans
Lutheran Church, New Hamp-
shire avenue and v street NV
Smaller groups were placed
in private homes.
Mr.. Rusk said most Of those
placed had contacted the Urbar
League In advance and asked Il
be provided with sleeping quar-
tiers because they could moi
afford hotel looms.
Donald d. Brewer. the Dis
trict's acting Public Welfare
director, said the Welfare De-
partment is co-ordinating its
efforts with both the Urban
League and the Women's Bur-
reau Of the District Police.
Mr.. Brewer said that two well
fare workers are assigned tc
the Women's Bureau until mid
night TO care for any lost
children.
In all, there are some 5000
units Of emergency housing
available. Incoming domon-
strators are being directed to
them from IL information
booths located at service sta
tons along the main highways
and at air and bus terminals.
Demonstrators also can re-
ceive assistance at the office
Of the Urban League, 626 Third

Clerics Are Told
March Will Brine
Rights Support

Religious leaders participant
ing in the March on Wash
ington were given hope this
morning that their efforts
could produce concrete results.
DR.. Anna Arnold Hedgeman,
in brief talk at a breakfast
meeting of the religious partic-
ipantS, expressed faith that the
march could change votes, not
only in their home communities
but also on Capitol Hill.
DR.. Hedgeman, who is march
co-ordinator for the National
Council Of Churches Commits
sion on Religion and Race, told
the breakfast in the Statler-
Hilton Hotel that I'VE don't
know what's going to happen
today-we are in a revolution. 4"
AS part of the religious
participation in the march, the
bells of scores Of Washington
area churches were to be rung
for Is minutes starting at noon.
The Rev. David q. Colwell,
president of the Council of
Churches of Greater Washing
ton, asked all members Of the
council to ring their bells and
extended an invitation to the
Archdiocese of Washington to
have Roman Catholic churches
participate.
Not all religious groups are
supporting the march.
The American Council of
Christian Churches has estab-
lished what t calls an OPPOSE

views.
The group also announced
plans to distribute two truck
loads of literature, more than

views in the area Of the march.

MONUMENT IS THROWN OPEN
BUT FOR ROUND TRIPS ONLY

Washington Monument officials decreed this morning
that what goes up must come down.
Against the advice Of the Park Police, they decided
to open the Monument to civil rights marchers
assembling the grounds.
In fact the Park Service officials ordered it opened
at 7:30 o'clock hafhour ahead Of the usual opening
time to accommodate demonstrators who wished to do
a little sightseeing before the march.
But of the first elevator-load of IS who went up
for a look. only 10 came back down.
Whereupon the officials put their foot down and
ruled that there would be one-way rides.
A spokesman said the Monument would remain open
for as long as possible.
We'll do the best for as long we can"
he said.

MedicuIAi
In March

OF all the throng at the
Monument area today, only a
small fraction were reported as
real medical cases. ~,
Two demonstrators suffering
from fainting spells and an
other with a stomach disorder
were taken to first aid stations
in the vicinity and then trans
ported to District General Hos

Close to 700 medical per-
