as evidence a recent demon
stration by 100000 in De-
troit.
Should President Kennedy
not be in Washington that
day, the demonstration would
60 on as planned, he said.
1T will arouse the con-
science of the Nation on the
economic plight of the Negro
100 years after the Emanci-
patton and 1t will help
the passing of civil rights
legislation" concluded the
Negro leader, who said he
could not understand the
logic of critics who predict
the mass demonstrations will
ALLEVIATE Congress in its civil
rights debates.
He further predicted that
the passage of civil rights
legislation would cut down
on mass demonstrating, but
would bring no millennium"
There would still be the job
of enforcing rights in certain
areas; 1t would be necessary
to demonstrate to keep the
issues in front, he said.
In addition to the finale
on bias in schools, DR.. King
cited other areas for civil
rights crusading: extension
of the Attorney Generals
power to initiate suits into
other areas besides schools,
and the removal Of Federal
funds to areas continuing to
discriminate.
No Cambridge Visit Now
The White House confer
ences are useful, he added,
manifesting the Presidents
concern. He felt they had
modified support for civil
rights legislation.
The civil rights leader said
he had no plans to visit DAN
vile (Va0 or Cambridge
Md at this convulsive time
for them, but said he had
been invited to and would
later.
One trip he's promised to
make is to Africa in Deem
Der. Kenya's new independ-
ence is the lure, he said, and
he will also visit neighbor-
ing Tanganyika at that time.
Mail from Africa contin-
ues to mount, he added, and
United States mail reflects a
clear majority of supporters
of the civil rights movement.
President Nyerere sported
the famous Kennedy boat tie
clip. However, his came
straight from the Presidents
own tie, he said of the gift.
His Minister Kambona re-
ceived his from the Attorney
General. he said. But the
Tanganyikans left memen-
tos equally memorable
small silver lapel pins in
the form of the Tanganyik-
an torch of freedom. Presi-
dent Kennedy headed the
list of Americans to receive
one.
Gifts galore caught the
eye of the two Presidents
after the receiving line
ended. A corner Of the Duke
living room looked a bit like
Christmas morning. There
were the usual gifts from
President Kennedy: a hand
some desk set, autographed
photograph Of President
Kennedy in silver frame, and
white leather bound scrap
book Of color photos Of the
arrival ceremonies.
Old Sea Clock
An old war-horse Of q sea
clock dominated the other
wise all-silver scene, though.
The brass clock set on q
wood base resulted from q
request from President Ken
nedy two weeks ago to find
a nautical gift for the Afri-
can visitor "a special
thoughtfulness from the sea-
loving American President.
The clocks wood base is
from the USS Augusta, third
ship of the United States
fleet to be named after Au-
gusta. Ga. On this ship, the
late President Roosevelt and
former Prime Minister
Churchill had their historic
meeting where the principles
Of the Atlantic Charter were
defined, and the rights Of the
worlds peoples were hailed
as freedom from fear and
want. and freedom of speech
and religion.
Surrounding the old relic
which was made by the Blu
reau of Ships and co-ordi-
mated by the President'l
military aides and the Office
Of Protocol, we're tissue
