Prayer and Patriotism Take A
Beating-The court ruling against
prayer in public schools shocked
and aroused the American people
The famous evangelist. Rev. Billy
Graham. said recently: IF a vote
were taken today, it would be
found that 80 per cent of the
American people want their chill
drcn exposed to prayers and Bible
reading in school"
Adding insult to injury. a L. s.
District Court Judge has ruled that
a public school may not require
students to stand while our Ma
tiOnal Anthem, the Star Spangled
Banner, is performed Said the
judge, "The key of our freedom of
expression is that there is indi-
vidual freedom to believe. to speak

Support For Federal Spending
Curb-Former Treasury Secretary
George Humphrey has lined up be-
hind the members of Congress who
demand that Federal spending
curbs preceded or accompany a tax

The fracas began when one of the
leaders of the pro-COmmunist
group was questioned about his
role in the junket He called Com

boasted of Communism's brilliant

Oh. yes. we also had a

with the sulphur water that
dripped into the tunnel.

we went that way and some
times we thought we were

We were lost. But we kept
crawling around like that for
almost six days looking for a

Imagine seeing a door like
q regular house door down
In the bottom OF a mine.
There was a time we heard

pipes and we thought the
water would back up and
flood the mine and drown us.
And while 1t was raining,
I yelled at Davey, "Davey,
I'm going home. I'm going

come"

SURGE PAST LEADERS
Eager, Orderly Marchers Join Demonstration
Throne gets
QuickSturt

A chanting, singing crowd of
more than 175,000 civil rights
demonstrators, today marched
from the Washington Monu-
ment to the Lincoln Memorial.
The throng, described as pre-
dominantely Negro, surged en-
thusiatically up Constitution
avenue waving thousands of
placards proclaiming their aims.
There was no disturbance
under the watchful eyes of
police and the demonstrators
own monitors but some con-
fusion arose when the marchers
got ahead of the leaders at the
outset of the walk.
The marchers surged ahead
nearly half an hour before the
scheduled 1880 am. departure
from the Monument grounds.
The premature beginning
caught such leaders of the dem
onstration as A. Philip Ran
dolph, Walter Reuther and Roy
wilkins by surprise.
The leaders had just arrived
at the Constitution avenue
starting point from their visit
to Capitol Hill when the crowd
began streaming toward the Re-
flecting Pool and the Lincoln
Memorial. Even the color guards
and the fife-and-drummer
corps were left behind and had
difficulty getting into the line
of march.
After a few minutes, the
mass Of demonstrators recog-
nized their leaders and slowed
long enough for the key figures
of the March for Jobs and
Freedom to take their place at
the head of the crowd. Mr..

Rights Marchers Top $4,000
Giant Appeal
Is Made Under
Lincoln sEyes
Thrones Come
From All Ports
Of the Nation

A hundred years of history
caught up with the Nation to-
day.
In the brooding shadow of
Abraham Lincoln, who signed
his Emancipation Proclamation
a century ago, men and women
from many parts of the country
gathered for the greatest DEM
onstration in the city's history,
dedicated to the proposition
that all Americans share equal
rights and equal opportunities.
The march, itself, actually
began about half an hour ahead
of time as the crowd, in a
happy, holiday mood, moved
off from the Monument
Grounds toward the Lincoln
Memorial without waiting for
those who we're supposed to
lead them.
Police estimated the crowd
at between 175,000 and zoe, 900.
March officials and newsmen
pitched in to hold back the
crowd so that A. Philip RAN
dolph, the leader of the march,
and others in his group, could
get to the head Of the surging
column.
Lasts More Than Hour
Even the color guards and
the drum and fife corps. had
difficulty getting into the line
of march.
AS the crowd moved down
Constitution avenue. with oc-
casional bursts Of singing and
chanting Freedom, Freedom,
Freedom" it looked like a sea
of signs. framed by the trees
on each side of the avenue.
Strolling, rather than march,
ing, the demonstrators filled
the avenue for more than an
hour.
The early start Of the march
caused a problem at the Me
mortal when cars carrying
members of Congress and other
dignitaries were blocked by the
crowd. A large bloc of reserved
seats was kept empty, but the
section was finally opened to
the public on first-come, first
served basis. 1t was thus i'm
possible to see which Congress
men were there and which were
absent.
Hundreds Dip Feet
AS the two-hour program Of
speeches. prayers and music
began, the area in front of the
Memorial and around the Re-
Election Pool was carpeted with
a mass Of humanity. Some
marchers crowded back under
the trees. others sat on the
grass in the sun and hundreds
dipped their feet in the Re-
flecting Pool.
In some areas, the marchers
were packed so tightly that a
slight breeze gave them no
relief from the heat and many
tainted.

Thirteen organizers of the

surances from Senate and
House leaders this morning that
legislation enforcing equality
would clear Congress in 1868.

they should not expect action

strategy explained in a series
Of three, separate meetings.

day with nine Of rs miners
trapped more than 1900 feet
below the ground in a
phosphate mine.
MOAB, Utah, Aug. % (AP)
|-ReScuers ran into deadly
carbon monoxide gas today in
the depths of a potash mine in
which IS men were entombed
by an explosion.
Presence of the gas further
dimmed already slim hopes that
the men would be found alive.
State Mine Inspector Steve
Hatsis said the gas was dis
covered at the bottom of the
i2,712-foot shaft, one Of the
largest and deepest in North
America.
The missing men are scat
tered out somewhere beyond
and below that level in one of
two lateral tunnels extending
from the base of the main
shaft.
Old Tubing Destroyed
Before rescuers can go far
Their, Mr.. Hatsis said, they
must establish a new air supply
in the main shaft, which goes
straight down the distance of
nearly 10 football fields.
He said this would involve
installing new tubing in the
bottom Of the shaft and pump
ing in fresh air. The old tub
ing was destroyed by the ex-
ploSion.
The men were entombed in
the mine near this Southeast
ern Utah community when an
explosion of undetermined orr
gin ripped through the shaft
at 1850 pm. yesterday.
No Contact Established
They apparently were caught
without warning.
Frank Tippie, head of the
Potash Division of Texas Gulf
Sulphur Co., operator of the
mine, said the rescue teams had
not established contact with
the trapped men.
Asked If there was any
chance they were alive, Mr..
Tippie said:
II wouldn't even attempt a
guess. I think there's a.
chance"
He said the men had been
using dynamite.
