To Aid Police
During March
Tobriner Requests
Units Assistance
On August 28

Units Of the District National
Guard will assist Metropolitan
Police in handling the crowds
and traffic expected here Au-
gust 20 for the March on WASH
ington for Jobs and Freedom,
District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner announced today.
1.-THE Metropolitan Police,
under Chief Robert v. Murray,
will be responsible ft-- traffic
and crowd control on August
% when some 100000 persons
are expected to participate in
q civil rights march here" Mr..
Tobriner said. 1.-THE District
National Guard together with
National Capital Park Police,
will assist the Metropolitan Po-
lice in carrying out these func-
tons"
Mr.. .Tobriner, president of
the Board of Commissioners,
unlike a State Governor, does
not have authority to call out
the National Guard. He ex-
planned that he asked Gen. w.
H. Abendroth, commander of
the District National Guard,
for assistance on August %.
Promises ManpOwer
He said Gen. Abendroth
promised to supply manpower
to assist police with crowd and
traffic control.
Chief Murray said he expects
the District National Guard to
supply about 1000 troops to
aid regular policemen. He in
dicated that TOO Of these would
be military policemen.
In another action, Senator
Douglas, Democrat of Illinois,
is arranging a meeting Of SEN
ate and House members next
Wednesday afternoon to hear
A. Philip Randolph explain the
purpose of the march.
The meeting is tentatively
scheduled for the, Senate Con-
ference Room. Senator Doug
las said he thinks 1t will be
very constructive"
Mr.. Randolph, chairman of
the national committee PLAN
ming the march, asked Senator
Douglas to call the meeting.
In a letter to the Senator,
Mr.. Randolph said he is dis
tressed that prominent Ameri-
cans, including members Of
Congress, "have an altogether
mistaken concept of the pur-
pose and character" of the
march.
Asks for Sponsors
Mr.. Randolph asked that
Senators Javits, Republican of
New York, and Hart, Democrat
of Michigan, and Representa-
tives Celler, Democrat Of New
York, Lindsay, Republican of
New York, and Roosevelt,
Democrat Of California, join
Senator Douglas In sponsoring
the meeting.
Leaders of the six major
civil rights organizations Spon-
Soring the March On WASH

morrow in New York City to
continue discussions of the
plans. The Rev. Walter E.
Fauntroy and the Rev. Edward

Criticism Voiced

There has been mounting
criticism among Southern
members Of Congress as well
as some employee organizations
that the administration, in It's
zeal to help Negroes in Gov
eminent, has violated Civil
Service rules and regulations.
Two cases have been cited
particularly.
One involved the Dallas
Post Office, where three Ne
groes were promoted to SUI
pervisory jobs over So whites
who were ahead of them on
the merit promotion list.
The other case involved the
Army Corps Of Engineres In
New Orleans. Appointment Of
ficers there were directed to
submit TO the regional direc-
tor reasons in writing each
time q Negro was not selected
from a Civil Service register.
After the committee meet

and Civil Service Committee
recognized that a very serious
situation has developed all
over the country as well as In

baby came. / went home to

vorced nearly three years and
in that time we have both ma
tured a lot. We've been seeing
each other, and have decided
to try marriage again. l want

know this is not done for sec

there has never been another

our first marriage. Please say
