President, along with Attorney
General Kennedy, has kept in
touch with those intent on
conducting an orderly demon
stration.
Few events in past years have
been planned with greater de-
liberation and greater publicity.
Few have aroused more con-
troversy.
The marchers on Washing
ton were acutely aware that
the eyes Of the Nation-and in
deed of the whole world-were
on them, and that the events
Of today could hold the most
fateful consequences for the
cause they represent.
Washington itself faced the
marchers in a slightly awkward
posture. Its hand was extended
in welcome but its fingers were
crossed and its guard was up,
For weeks the most elaborate
precautions have been taken to
insure that the March on
Washington for Jobs and
Freedom would be as success
full and as peaceful as its lead
ers hoped.
AS these leaders see it, the
march is a living petition. 1t
was, as they put it, conceived
as an outpouring of deep feel
ing Of millions Of white and
colored American citizens that
the time has come for the Gov
eminent Of the United States

D. e. EMPLOYEES
ARE SENT HOME
~ HOURS EARLY

District government en-
ployeS were released an
hour and a half early to-
day because Of the expected
downtown congestion.
Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner also recommended
to the Civil Service Com
mission that Federal Gov
eminent employees be re-
leased an hour and a half
early because of the traffic
situation created by the
crowd congregated in the
Lincoln Memorial area.
The District employees
were released from their
jobs at 3:l5 pm. by the
city heads order. Federal
employees, thousands of
whom took annual leave
today anyway, have stag
gered hours and would be
released from their desks
at varying times.

Congress and elsewhere about
the marchers' new concept"
Of lobbying, in which some see
the implication Of coercive pres
sure and mob rule.
In developing their plans for
the demonstration, however,
the leaders themselves resolved
most Of these objections. Or
iginal plans for a massive
march on the Capitol and
White House were strapped in
favor Of a more orderly pro-
gram.
The concern OF the leaders
to put on a dignified show was
reflected In their hopeful pre-
dictions on the attitude Of the
crowd today:
1T will be orderly but not
subservient. 1t will be proud
but not arrogant. It will be
non-violent, but not timid. It
will be united In purposes and
behavior, not splintered into
groups and individual COM
petitors. 1t will be outspoken,
but not raucous."
The leaders confidence WAS
based on the knowledge that
they could count on the firm
backing and cooperation OF
Federal and city authorities.
The goals which they seek are
backed broadly by the admin
istration.

The Importance attached to

Gated by the unusual device
used by President Kennedy to
reassert his support Of civil
rights efforts on this particu-
lar day.
Mr.. Kennedy's words were
embodied in a Labor Day state
ment issued well in advance Of
the traditional national holi-
day.
The l,0O0-word statement
applauded the role OF labor
in our national life," called
anew for an early tax cut. and
urged support. Of administra-
ton programs to stimulate the
economy, strengthen the edu-
cational system and broaden
the opportunities Of young
people.
climaxing the statement was
this appeal:

forts to achieve equal rights
for all our citizens-in employ
ment, In education. in voting,
and in all sectors Of our ma
tional activity"

Sylvania avenue reported a
tremendous business in film.
And in the suburban shop
ping centers, business was brisk.
At Wheaton Plaza, for example,
Manager Jesse j. Boyd said the
number Of shoppers was "far
in excess of normal weekday
trade"
For downtown eating places,
the picture was one of unre-
hitting gloom.
One large coffee shop on F
street, expecting more business
than usual, brought in extra
employees, only to have them
sitting around with no Gus
toners to wait on.
The Blue Mirror, a bar and
grill on F street, perhaps re-
flecting the slump caused by
the Commissioners liquor ban,
had is customers instead of its
capacity $50 about noontime.
Up the street, the Old
Ebbitt Grill maintained a flu
neral quiet from the moment it
opened at 8 am. At noon
there were fewer than a dozen
customers, where usually the
bar and tables would have so
diners with a waiting line.
The saw Cafeteria, at Fiji
teenth and @ streets, had less
than a fourth of its normal
lunch-time business. the man
ager reported. Only two of
the four serving lines were
open, he said, land we could
handle the customers with
one."
Hammel's and the Kitch-
eteria, favorites Of Federal
workers, reported about half
their usual crowd, and O'Don-
nell's Sea Grill, in the same
area, had only a handful OF
customers In one dining room,
with the seven others empty.
One exception to the general
gloom was the Willard Hotels
coffee shop, which reported
business very steady"
Rudy Ridden, president Of
the Liquor Dealers Association
here, said some retailers, par
ticularly In Negro neighbor-
hoods, complained that the
edict was directed unfairly at
them. They pointed cut that
no such orders have been issued

others calling for civil rights
plus full employment were in
blue ink on white.
Although the crowd was pre-
dominately Negro-apparently
well in excess Of 80 per cent
it was by no means all Negro.
A large number Of white SYM

ing labor union signs, were in
the group.
Leaders Appear

A cheer went up as the crowd

director of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement
Of Colored People.
Shortly after noon, a tremen-
dous roar welled UP from the
crowd gathered just northeast
of the memorial below a tele-
vision camera platform. The
shout signaled the appearance
on the platform of the Rev. DR..
Martin Luther King, leader of
one of the first massive Negro
demonstrations in Montgomery,
Alabama.
DR.. King, dressed in black but
wearing a necktie rather than
a clerical collar, waved and
smiled as the group cheered
and waved its hands on cue
from the television cameramen
Behind the roar of the crowd,
the stately tune of the Battle

The march leaders held three
