cussed the practical arrangements
necessary for handling a crowd
now estimated to total 100, 900 per-
sons.
Such items as comfort stations,
medical care and first aid, and out
lining the proposed line Of march
for the demonstrators were dis
cussed. Arrangements also for
feeding and providing transporta-
ton were considered.
According to the Rev. Walter
Fauntroy, pastor Of New Bethel
Baptist church and Southeast Re-
gional director for the Southern
Christian leadership Conference,
the demonstrators are expected to
converge on Washington by 10
am, Wednesday, Aug. %.
At that time, said Rev. FaInt-
roy, delegations from various
states are expected to call on their
Representatives and Senators. If
the delegations are too large to
visit the congressman or senator's
office, attempts will be made to
have the legislators come to the
delegations.
Speaker John Mccormick d.,
Mass.) was asked If the reports
about a possible Congressional
run-out were true. He appeared
flustered and finally replied that
he had not heard them.
The rumors were that the House
would pass the remaining approp-
riations bills and the Presidents
1876 billion dollar tax reduction
bill, then take a holiday.
Chairman Wilbur D. Mills 3D.,
Ark of the tax-wrfting House
ways and means committee dis
closed that the tax bill, in a leg1s-
lative limbo for three weeks, Is
back on the calendar.
On the other hand, almost no
Legislative program is contemplate
ed in either the Senate or House
this week.
The southerners who are chair
men of the various sub-commit-
tees on appropriations in the Sen
ate are delaying the sending Of ap-
preparations bills to the floor. They
make no secret of their intention
to pigeon-hole these bills for later
use as weapons when they are
ready to fight the civil rights bill.
Members Of Congress with fam
lilies have been pleading with the
leadership to give them a short
vacation before school starts If
Congress is to be in session late
into the winter.
Although details of the proposed
route of march have not been COM
pleted, Rev. Fauntroy said the
demo n strators are tentatively
scheduled to meet in front Of the
White House by 1870 or 2 pm. and
proceed to the Lincoln Memorial
where a mass meeting Is to be
held.
At the close of the mass meet
ing, he said demonstrators will be
urged to return TO their homes.
TT win only be a one-day demon
stration," he added.
In order to help to control the
crowds, some 1000 marshas are
expected to come down from New
York to compliment similar num-
Der Of persons to be trained here
in techndques of crowd handling.
Rev. Fauntroy who has been ap-
pointed head Of the local coordin-
ating committee emphasized that
the demonstration viii be orderly
and no violence Is anticipated, nor
win 1t be tolerated.

SHOULD
INCOME
IN

When completed, the new
Ross R. Barnett Reservoir be-
ing built in central Missis-
sippi should increase income
for the entire state. This con-
clusion was reached after a
study was made in Arkansas
which compared the income
growth of six counties, three
of which had dams and re-
servoirs while the other three
did not. Income in the re
servolr' counties increased
81 per cent from 1949 to 1859,
while the income in the other
three counties increased %
per cent. Recreational sup
plies and facilities, of course,
will account for the largest
percentage of new income for
the area, but all business
should benefit from reservoir
activities.

MEG Announces
Series OF Planning
Programs In State

Donald B Roark, of Yazoo
City, chairman of a special
committee to study long
range needs of municipalities
in Mississippi for the Mis-
sissippi Economic Council,
announces plan for the first
in a series of planning pro-
grams to be held in Missis-
sippi communities.
Roark stated that plans for
the first meeting were made
in Canton this week. Canton
was selected as the site of
the first meeting on a pilot
basis because Canton and
Madison County have enacted
a city-county planning pro-
cram" he said. The meeting
will determine whether there
is enough interest in small
cities in Mississippi to start
planning programs without
federal aid. Mississippi has
not received any OF the
HHFA funds that are goino
to other states to provide
funds to hire consulting firms
to do the planning. "We
hope to show our cities that
it is an absolute necessity for
them to do this PLANNING
even if thew must pay the
whole bill" Roark said.
The meeting will be held
at the communitv center in
Canton on November II. Mu-
nicipal and county officials.

dents and managers. and
