The Big Day Begins Before Sunrise

Even before the sun came up
today a few marchers had ar
rived and spread their chairs,
taken out their binoculars and
unwrapped ham sandwiches in
front Of the Lincoln Memorial

They were welcomed later on

beside the Washington Monu-
ment and looked like a symbol
for a worlds fair.

a right to such an arrange

And fathers, married to

And fathers, driving fam

should be treated with the

They should have the right
to walk quietly out Of the
cottage and take the controls
after all has been packed
and loaded, and the children
have been seated, and the
seat belts have been fast
ened, and the doors have
been locked.
And they should have the
rights to announce evenly:

The
Rambler
ION
The Open Rood
BY JOHN McKELwAY

Notes on a trip back to
Washington.
Some day, perhaps, the
Fathers of the World will
stage a march on Washing
ton in an attempt to improve
their rights along the open
road,
One of these rights, it
seems to a Rambler just off
the turnpikes, is NOT to stop
at every Howard Johnson's.
Brilliant planning has gone
into the location of these
spas. Some rising young man
in the chain has figured out
that 1t will take a child, trav-
cling at go miles an hour, at
least fone hour after leaving
one Howard Johnson's before
he demands he must stop at
the next one. Thus they are
spaced appropriately up and
down the coast.
To a Rambler. Howard
Johnson's have indeed come
in handy at times. Some of
Howard Johnson's employees
will happily fill up a thermos
with coffee Some will not.
But coffee is available at all
times and it seems unusual
that the chain pushes sweet
clans and ice cream instead
of coffee. .
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-28

NEVERTHELESS, Howard
Johnson's, for some of us,
represent great blocks in the
road to and from vacation
land. The firms large signs
have the power of suggestion.
Children who read, and even
those who don't, see a How
ard Johnson sign and imme-
diately want to stop. They
do not, or so it seems, want
to stop for sweet clans and
ice cream. They just like to
walk through the restaurant
and visit rooms set aside for
rest. Then it Isl back to- the;
open road and the next
Howard Johnson'S.
No one ever stops along
the road any more. Another
genius in the Howard John
son chain apparently got to
the turnpike people and had
them put up the signs: mo
Stopping Except for Emer-
gencies and Repairs" Be-
cause there is always another
Howard Johnson'S down the
road, you can hardly con-
slider the need to stop along
the road an emergency"
There are children today who
have never stopped along the
road. They do not know what
it is like. They have always
stopped at Howard Johnson's.
Fathers ought to have a right
to stop along the road.
Turnpikes have made travel
more demanding on parents.
They must proceed at high
speeds while entertaining
their children. 1t is taxing
to monitor a game of check
ers while passing a semi
trailer filled with sweet clans
for the next Howard john
sons down the road. Fathers
should have the right to buy
cars with separate compart-
mentS for children.
Fathers also should not be
questioned on speed limits.
There is no way to explain to
a child at the side, one sud-
denly interested in the meas
urement of speed, why trucks
on U. S. 40 proceed at 10
miles over their limit of As.
Are truck drivers ever ar
rested? Why is it, on U. S.
40, it is always some rumpled
father who is being arrested
while his children watch
and the trucks go roaring by
at IS?

Freedom Rings

The loudest noise Of the
demonstration was generated
by Carol Taylor, identified as
the Nations first Negro airline
stewardess. Ending brief ad-
dress at the Washington Monu-
ment, she said she wanted the
crowd to yell freedom" loud
enough ito be heard all over
the world" When she dropped
her arms In signal, the roar
reverbrated at the Lincoln Me-
mortal, nine long blocks away

EARLY Birds Sit Out Night, Too Excited to Sleep

Thousands of sleepy travel
erS, many of them lost, roamed
the streets and parks Of Wash
ington last night, happy to be
here but too keyed up to sleep.
On a park bench near the
Washington Monument, Fred
Jones and Eileen Frohberg, of
New York City, huddled to-
gether against the chill of
3 o'clock in the morning.
Were just going to sit here
till the sun comes up. We got
no place to go before morning, ("
said Mr.. Jones with a yawn.
Across the wet grass from
the drowsy couple light spilled
out of Red Cross first aid tent

tin had been on duty three
hours. He had three hours to
go before he would be relieved.
But for him the night was
passing quickly. He had COM
pany.
On an emergency first aid
chest Abe Scot. of Raleigh,
N. c., played checkers with
Kermit Mack of Philadelphia.
"Stick around If you want to
see who's going to win," Mr.,
Mack said. He won. Mr.. Scot
had arrived from Raleigh two
hours earlier with four other
men. Mr.. Mack was with a
group Of five from his city.
In front of the White House
on the Ellipse, Cleo jackson
held up a vanity kit with q
mirror on the lid. Around her
clustered 10 girls, giggling and
pushing as they wrestled with
tangles and put on lipstick
They had ridden in a bus for
"a hours straight. They were
all from Clarksdale and Green

he got out of the chartered bus
and stretched in the cold. Jerry
Wilson. Of Clarksdale, a radio
and TV repairman, cooked his

and laughed.
Behind the big bus was
parked a small panel truck

The Rev. l.. A. Moore ate @

brought seven people with him
from his New York congrega-
ton. He was expecting two
more busloads OF AZ people each
to arrive any minute. He looked
around every time lights flashed

as he drank a Coke. 1t was a
good night. Two cars from
New York waited for gas as
another auto from New Jersey
stood at the pumps.
Near the telephone a man
from Brooklyn studied a map
laid out on the trunk of his
car.
Richard Easton, of Chicago,
gently shut the door to his car.
Michael. 6, and Shawn, 5, his
two children, slept head-to-toe
in the back seat under a light
blue blanket. On the back of
the car a torn sign said: ION to
Washington. My family wants
freedom and equality now"
Mr.. Easton, a school teacher,
had left Chicago Monday with
his wife, Iris, and his children.
They had stayed in New York
Monday night after a 17-hour
trip.
AS Mr.. Easton paid for his
gas, Grand Sheikh r Turner
ell of Brooklyn, tapped him on
the shoulder and handed him
a piece of paper with "Moroc-
can United Organizations Fed
Grafton" written across the top.
Mr.. Turnerel had handed a
similar sheet to everyone who
stopped at the gas station
during the previous two hours.
Stream of Cars
Flashing west along New
York avenue, cars from Mas
sachusetts, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, many
bearing signs advertising the
march, headed toward the city
in a steady stream.
Most Of the cars were less
than two years old. All were
packed with people.
I'VE don't know where to
go exactly" said a giant OF a
man stepping out Of a Pontiac.
Someone told him to head for
the Bible Way Church at ll30
New Jersey avenue NV. He
got back in the car and drove
off.

and looked over the heads of

a chair behind Bishop Williams
as the people sang-"Draw me

area were making a strong
impression.
All types of organizations
were represented, from church
to home rule. Some had ~
itiated their own small marches,
moving to the Ellipse from
churches and other points,
many singing and laughing.
Marchers Arrive
Before the Washington Monu-
ment program began, a typical
scene was observed in the vi
cinity of st. Johns Episcopal
Church on Lafayette square.
Just after II am. $50 marchers
from st. Stephen and Incar-
nation Episcopal Church, Six
teenth and Newton streets
NV, arrived in front of st.
Johns.
The group had attended a
Eucharist service and then
briskly marched three abreast
in a file extending nearly two
blocks along Sixteenth street
Mixed about half and half as to
race, they were led by a choir
boy carrying a golden cross.
In front of st. Johns they
were led in responsive prayer
by the Rev. Tilden Edwards,
assistant rector of st. Stephen
and Incarnation.
"Endow us with courage to
fight against racial evil" Mr..
Edwards said.

said, a group of rs women
carrying two YWCA banners
