the demonstrators.
The American Civil Überties i
Union has issued a statement ,
on civil rights demonstrations. ‘
The ACLU’s views were con
tained in a 16-page pamphlet, '
"How Americans Protest,”
which reviewed the historical
and constitutional basis for the :
current desegregation demon- ‘
stratlons.
The ACLU said the present
day racial demonstrations are
a legitimate exercise of First
Amendment rights, and are
rooted in the American history
of social protest.
75 Slogans Approved
In New York City yesterday
the March On Washington
Committee announced that
some 75 slogans have been ap
proved for marchers to carry
here Wednesday. The signs to
be carried on the march from
the Washington Monument to
the Uncoln Memorial are being

spokesman said.

The complete text of the
pastoral letter:
“Nearly five years ago, we,
the Catholic bishops of the
United States, proclaimed with
one voice our moral judgment
on racial discrimination and
segregation. This judgment of
November, 1958, simply reaf
firmed the Catholic position
already made explicit in a
CHIEF MURRAY ASKS MARCHERS
NOT TO COME WITH CARS
People coming to Washington for the civil rights
march next Wednesday were urged today by Police Chief
Robert V. Murray not to use their private automobiles.
He said the influx of an substantial number of pri
vate cars would swamp traffic facilities here, create
“large traffic jams,” and jeopardize the orderly handling
of crowds and traffic.
“We expect over 100,000 people to participate in
the March on Washington on August 28.” said Chief
Murray. “Those who are coming from outside the city
should come by bus or train.”
Leaders of the march have lately been encouraging
demonstrators to travel here by private vehicles.
The policy at the outset was to advise the exclusive
use of trains and buses. But plans were revised last Sat
urday after complaints by demonstrators that they were
experiencing difficulty chartering buses in New York
and parts of the South.

much earlier statement in 1943. i
In the present crisis, we wish 1
to repeat those moral principles <
and to offer some pastoral sug- I
gestlons for a Catholic ap- ’
proach to racial harmony. w 1
"We insist that the heart of ’
the race question is moral and
religious. It concerns the rights :
of man and our attitude toward '
our fellow man. . . . Discrimi- :
nation based on the accidental
fact of race or color, and as
such injurious to human rights,
regardless of personal qualities
or achievements, cannot be
reconciled with the truth that
God has created all men with
equal rights and equal dignity.
“We reaffirm tnat segrega
tion implies that people of one
race are not fit to associate
with another ‘by sole fact of
race and regardless of indi
vidual qualities. . . . We can
not reconcile such a judgment
wjth the Christian view of
; man’s nature and rights.’ These
principles apply to all forms of
discrimination and segregation
i based on prejudice. In our im
i mediate and urgent concern for
i the rights of Negroes, we do
; not overlook the disabilities
■ visited upon other racial and
national groups.
*Our Strict Duty*
> "It is our strict duty in con
science to respect the basic
, human rights of every person.
• Our beloved Pontiff of blessed
i memory, Pope John XXIII,
t stated this fact in his ency-
I clical Peace on Earth. He pro
t claimed that, ‘in human society,
■ to one man’s right there cor
i responds a duty in other per
t sons: the duty, namely, of
acknowledging and respecting
the right in question.’ He not,
only condemned racial discrim
ination but asserted that ‘he
who possesses certain rights has
likewise the duty to claim these
rights as marks of his dignity.*
“Respect for personal rights
is not only a matter of indivi
dual moral duty; it is also a
matter for civic action. Pope
John stated: ‘The chief con
cern of civil authorities must
... be to insure that these
rights are acknowledged, re
spected, co-ordinated with other
rights, defended and promoted,
so that in this way each one
may more easily carry out his
duties.’
“We know that public au
thority is obliged to help cor
rect the evils of unjust discrim
ination practiced against any
group or class. We also recog
nize that every minnorlty group

rights has the obligation of re- 1
specting the lawful rights of i
others. On this point, Pope I
John wrote: ‘Since men are i
social by nature they are meant i
to live with others and to work i
for one another’s welfare. A ;
well-ordered human society re
quires that men recognize and ,
observe their mutual rights and ,
duties. It also demands that
each contribute generously to
the establishment of a civic
order in which rights and duties
are ever more sincerely and ef
fectively acknowledged and
fulfilled.’
“These truths being under
stood, no Catholic with a good
Christian conscience can fail
to recognize the rights of all
, citizens to vote. Moreover, we
, must provide for all, equal op
portunity for employment, full
participation in our public and
> private educational facilities,
i proper housing, and adequate
. welfare assistance when
. needed.
> More Than Justice
k
i “But more than justice is
involved. There is also the
• divine command: 'Thou shalt
’ love thy neighbor as thyself.’
f Our present Holy Father, Pope
- Paul VI, at the beginning of
j his pontificate, reminds us
1 that ‘Revelation teaches us to
love all men, whatever their
condition, for they have all
been redeemed by the same 1
Saviour; and it obliges us to
offer to those who have least,
the means of arriving in dig
nity at a more human life.’
“It is clear that the racial
question confronts the con
science of every man, no mat
ter what his degree of direct
or indirect involvement. Indeed,
the conscience of the Nation
is on trial. The most crucial
test of love of God is love of
neighbor. In* the words of the
beloved Apostje: ‘lf anyone
says "I love God” and hates
his brother, he is a liar. For
how can he who does not love
his brother, whom he sees, love
God whom he does not see?’
Meet and Talk
“We can show our Christian I
charity by a quiet and cou
rageous determination to make
the quest for racial harmony
a matter of personal involve
ment. We must go beyond
slogans and generalizations
about color, and realize that
all of us are human beings,
men, women, and children, all
sharing the same human na
ture and dignity, with the
same desires, hopes, and feel
ings. We should try to know
and understand one another.
, “To do this we must meet
and talk openly and sincerely
and calmly about our mutual
problems and concerns. There
are many ways in which such
meetings can come about peace
fully and naturally and fruit
fully. For example those in the
same type of work can readily
discuss the problems caused by
racial barriers. Physicians of
one race can talk with those of
another. So can businessmen,
teachers, lawyers, secretaries,
farmers, clerks, and other
workers. Parish and diocesan
societies, political gatherings,
and civic and neighborhood as
sociations can be common
meeting grounds.
“Our important task is to
break down the barriers that
have caused such grievous mis
understandings in the past.
Where barriers have existed for
many decades, deep misunder
standings have all too often
arisen. These should be faced,
not in a spirit of debate, but
with a desire to open doors of
understanding.
“It is only by open and free
exchange of ideas that we can
understand the rights and ob
ligations that prevail on both
sides. Such knowledge is the
prelude to action that will re
move the. artificial barriers of
race. We must act to remove
obstacles that impede the
, rights and opportunities of our

Negro brethren. We should do 1
our part to see that voting,
jobs, housing, education and
public facilities are freely avail
able to every American.
"We can do this in our own
area of work, in our neighbor
hood, in our community. We
may act through various lay
organizations of the church, as
well as with civic groups of
every type. In many parts of
the Nation there are inter
racial committees representing
the major religious faiths as
well as the important aspects
of civic life. We bless and in
dorse such efforts to secure in
terracial harmony and to im
plement it in everyday affairs.
“But civic action will be more
fruitful, and its results more
lasting, if all our citizens openly
and explicitly proclaim the re
ligious basis of racial justice
and love. Accordingly we repeat
simply: Love one another, for
this is the law of God. Revere
in every man his human dig
