N. Y.. Aug. 30. —t)r. Eugene Carson Blake says leaders of Wednesday’s civil rights march agreed that one of the scheduled speeches was too strong and should be re written. The talk, delivered by John Lewis, chairman of the Stu dent Non-Violent Co-ordinating Committee, was rewritten after | the Most Rev. Patrick A. OTfoyle. Catholic Archbishop of Washington reportedly threatened to withdraw from the program unless the speech was modified. But Dr. Blake said yester day: “It is not fair to pin it all | on Archbishop O’Boyle. The aim of the march was to sup port and strengthen the civil rights bill but the first draft of ■ the speech took a purely negative approach and de clared it was no good at all. The leaders of the march agreed the first draft was not in the spirit of the organiza tional purpose of the march.” Words Toned Down Pr- Blake chief executive officer of the United Presbyter ian Church. U. S. A., and one of the leaders of the march, said the speech was rewritten by himself. A. Philip Randolph, director of the march and pres ident of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers, and a group from the Student Non -Violent Co-ordinating Committee. “It was the same ideas but some inflammatory words that would have done Lewis or the march no good were taken out." Dr. Blake said. Five of the six American members of the Central Com mittee of the World Council of Churches who left the an nual meeting here to par ticipate in the March on Wash ington agreed at a press con ference yesterday that the demonstration was a huge suc cess. They were, in addition to Dr. Blake. Bishop B. Julian Smith of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church: Dr. Edwin H. Tuller of the American Bap tist Convention; Dr. Eugene L. Smith, general secretary of the Methodist Church Board of Missions, and Methodist Bishop James K. Mathews of Boston. The sixth participant. Dr. Norman J. Baugher of the Church of the Brethren, was not at the press conference. Different March Bishop Mathews declared the march was a “tremendous re inforcement of purpose to the people around the country. This was the most far-reaching effect of it.” Bishop Smith, while hoping “white American got the mes sage In the form in which we made it as decent Christian people,” warned that “the pa tience of the Negro is getting rather thin. He has been patient for 100 years. The next march probably would not be as dignified as this." YOUNG ON VACATION Joseph Young is on va cation.

Ramsey, An glican Archbishop of Canter bury, observed the march was “A challenge to all of us that in our own countries race re lations should be as good as we can make them and that in our churches race relations be j as good as they can be.” The Archbishop repeated an earlier statement that he did not have any plans to visit Pope Paul VI but added: “I am aware of a great de sire that in different parts of the mission field we should plan not to be acting as ri vals. My belief is that because of the new spirit the desire of churches to act as rivals will be very much diminished.” Sees New Dimensions Dr. Roswell P. Barnes, exec utive secretary of the World Council of Churches’ New York office, in his report yesterday said a new dimension of the ecumenical (co-operative) movement had been recog nized during the past year. The report observed that the most striking development of the past year was "widespread recognition that the Roman Catholic Church is now to be regarded as within the scope of the movement. Protestants generally now feel themselves to be standing with many Ro man Catholics and Orthodox las brothers and sisters in the Christian community acknowl edging one Lord and Saviour.” The 100-member central committee of the World Coun cil of Churches, governing body of the council between gen eral assemblies held every six years, opened its annual meet ing at Colgate Rochester Divin ity School on Monday. The sessions will end Labor Day. | Africans'Getting Smart' On Land, Ellender Says i By the Aooelated Preee Senator Ellender, Democrat of Louisiana, credited leaders . in some of the new African nations yesterday with "getting very smart” as State Department officials asked approval of S3O million for embassies, offices and other United State buildings overseas. James R. Johnstone, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Foreign Buildings, said the program includes more than a score of buildings in many new African nations. In some of these nations, Mr. Johnstone told a Senate Ap pro prl a t ions subcommittee buildings for United States use now are "leased at exorbitant rentals.” He said these rentals will be . applied to purchase of land and . buildings under options held by United States agencies. Ellender Sees Land Boom i “These African politicians are getting very smart,” Sena tor Ellender, who stirred con jtroversy during a visit to sev eral of these nations last year, said. "They are acquiring land and buildings within many cities and land values and rent als are going up.” Mr. Johnstone said the African building program for this year amounts to slightly less than $4 million with none of the 24 projects relatively {large.

FOLCROFT Continued From Page A-l ing, mainly directed at the police, he felt the crowd was composed primarily of curious, young people. Mr. Baker, Negro laboratory technician, said he searched for years for his house. Wants Decent Home All that time, he said, he wanted “a wholesome, decent environment where I would like to raise my kids.” Mr. Baker, from Miami, Fla., and his wife, a nurse at Penn sylvania Hospital here, have one child, a two-year-old daughter. "We had been to many real- 827 million building request when it approved the annual State Department money bill because most of the projects had not been authorized by Congress. Since then Congress has approved a separate au thorization for nearly SSO million. Approved by the House was use of $2.75 million of foreign ! currency funds, acquired under I aid and surplus farm sales, for these buildings. Mr. Johnstone asked the Senate for $1.15 mil lion of this. : The funds would be used to build a new building for the United States Information Service in New Delhi, India, to , replace three separate buildings I now used. Senator Ellender indicated he would oppose any permanent buildings for USIS "because it l is not even a permanent ’ agency." ' Senator Ellender wants all ' USIS activities and operations ' placed directly under United States ambassadors or top diplomats. tors,” Mr. Baker related, “but , all they showed us were places in ghetto areas. When the Friends Suburban Housing Co. showed us this home, my wife fell in love with it. “All we want is a decent : place to live. We will obey and: respect the law. and we hope other people will.” Mrs. Baker said she believes the demonstrators who have Jeered, thrown eggs, tomatoes and stones, painted epithets on the house and heaved a crude home-made bomb at it—were aroused by someone who has had unpleasant experiences with Negroes. The Bakers said they have ] no intention of canceling or postponing their move. Mr. , Baker asserted: ’’This is a challenge, and if we cannot live up to a chal lenge we will have no place to go. Our country has made some great progress, but we have a lot more to go." Earlier today, in neighboring Darby township, which has a heavy Negro population. Negro William Powell, 40, was shot in the side. He said the shot was fired from a car occupied by several white teen-agers. In. another incident a white man, Harold Weber, 38, of Se cane, said he was beaten by Negroes who drove through Fol croft yesterday. Cars occupied by whites were stoned in Darby township, and several fires were set by juve niles. Turned Back Twice The home the Bakers are seeking to occupy is in a de velopment known as Delmar Village, some 1,500 row houses in about a »10,00-to-»12,000 price range. The Bakers yesterday, on po lice urging, gave up in an initial attempt to enter the house. Twice later they returned and twice continued on their way in the face of the milling crowd. Stones were thrown at other cars carrying Negroes. Several persons were taken in custody last night by State police, but none was held. The home they bought re cently had been reclaimed by the Veterans Administration and turned over to the Federal Housing Administration for sale. I OAS Group to Report On Dominicans, Haiti By the Asaoelatod Preu Three members of the four man Organization of American States mission studying the dispute between Haiti and the Dominican Republic returned here last night. Ambassador Alberto Zuleta Angel of Colombia, president of the mission, said the trip was satisfactory and that a report would be made to the OAS council in several weeks H£ WANT’S WH/T£ PARTICIPANTS Rustin, Rights Actionist, Presses On By MARY McGRORY Star Staff Writer The Capital is still busy weighing the tangible and in* tangible results of the poignant March on Washington. One man who is totally oc* cupied with the tangibles is Bayard Rustin, who came out of the march as the No. 1 organizer of the civil rights movement. Mr. Rustin is a rangy, hand some, graying 53-year-old ex football player who talks tough and is totally committed to non-violence. The Old Testament ryhthm that gives the beat to the speeches of Martin Luther King, jr.. and A. Philip Ran dolph is absent , from the ut terances of Mr. Rustin, who on Wednesday burst out of ob scurity as the deputy director of the incredible demonstra tion. He is, as it happens, a mem ber of none of the civil rights organizations whose names were at the masthead of the march. Although he devotes; himself full time to civil rights | activities, the only official title I he bears is that of executive secretary of the War Resisters’ League. Follows Up Pledge Cards What he does, he says, is “to work anywhere in the world where non-violence is demon strated socially.” Yesterday, as a speaker at the Socialist Party conference! Negro Need Os Economic Power Cited An economic revolution must follow the civil rights revolu tion, A. Philip Randolph, chair man of the March on Washing ton, believes. Negroes can never be certain they will always have their civil rights unless they develop eco nomic power, Mr. Randolph told the Socialist Party Nation al Conference on the Civil Rights Revolution here yester day. After Negroes secure their civil rights, he said, they can “begin to help white workers develop another revolution for more equality in the distribu tion of wealth and power.” He said neither the Govern ment nor any political party has provided an answer for the "tremendous impact of science and automation on employment opportunities. "Negroes can’t solve their economic problems until all workers solve their economic problems,” Mr. Randolph said. He called for “massive” public works programs and public training programs for teen agers. Unemployed teen-agers, many of them Negroes, are an “explosive” force which could burn down good relations be tween white and black, the march chairman said. Mr. Randolph received a 30- second standing ovation when he was introduced to the ap proximately 300 conferees at a union hall at 1438 Florida ave nue N.W. I Time Held Neutral in Rights Fight In Wednesday’s civil rights march, the Negro was saying that "the myth of time” must be overcome, according to the Rev. Edward A. Hailes, execu tive secretary of the District NAACP. "We are told over and over that time will solve our pro blem” he told a luncheon meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce yesterday. But time, Mr. Hailes said, is neutral, and all it does is pass. “We must use it to advan tage” and gain equal rights, he said. The civil rights demonstra tion, Mr. Hailes continued, was also saying that the white people of American can never be what they ought to be until the black people are what they ought to be. Conversely, “the black people I. . . can never be what they ought to be until the white people are what they ought co be.” he said. The NAACP leader said America has a "schizophrenic ; personality.” On the one hand, he said, it espouses democratic principles, while on the other, it espouses the antithesis of these prin ciples. Through science, he said, man has been able to convert America to “one neighbor hood.” "Now we are calling upon America to make this country of ours a brotherhood.” VOLVO The popular Swedish imported high performance cars. 2 and 4-door sedans and sports coupes!

Mr. Rustin was characteristically ’ being non-sentimental about • the march, which overwhelmed : many of its beholders. He was concerned with re deeming the pledge cards which i girls in white had passed out , to the multitude during the stirring proceedings at the i Lincoln Memorial. The last line of the pledge reads: "I pledge my heart and my mind and my body unequi vocally and without regard to i personal sacrifice, to the achievement of social peace through social Justice.” The pledge card with space for name and address was dis tributed to thousands of both races among the 210,000 marchers . Mrs. Rustin thinks the strug gle is doomed unless whites in large numbers Join Negroes in the street. “They will be confronted with these pledeges next week.” he promised. A Favorite Target Mr. Rustin's anonymity de ’ spite his obvious political and organizational talents was dictated by his vulnerability. A Pennsylvanian, he joined the Young Communist League in 1936, while attending the Col lege of the City of New York. He quit four years later. Dur ing World War 11, he served 28 months in prison for being > a conscientious objector. In i 1953, he was convicted in Schools in Charleston Desegregated Calmly By the Associated Press Five Negro students were en rolled without incident today at three previously all-white Charleston public schools in South Carolina’s first school integration below the college level. A single policeman was on hand as Negroes enrolled for the first time at Rivers and Charleston high schools and at the James Simons elementary school. Except for a handful of reporters at each school, there were no crowds and only students looked on. Clarence Alexander, 13-year old Charleston Negro, walked into previously all-white Charleston High School about 8:45 a.m. He and his mother, Mrs. Mary Alexander, sat in the rear of the school audito rium. Young Alexander and other eighth grade students enrolled at Charleston High School. Other high school students will be on hand Tues day when classes resume. Others Also Enroll At previously all-white Rivers high school. Jacqueline Ford, 12, was enrolled as that school’s first Negro. She was accom panied by her father, the Rev. Clarence Ford. Meanwhile, at James Simons Elementary School, two blocks away from Rivers High, Mr. Ford’s wife accompanied two of the couple's daughters to that previou sly all-white school. Gale Ford. 9, entered the fourth grade, while Barbara Ford, 10, will be a sixth grade student. The third Negro student to enroll at Simons was Oveta Glover, a daughter of the Rev. B. J. Glover, an integration leader in Charleston. Mr. Ford told reporters that he and his wife "are most pleased” with the orderly man ner in which their children were enrolled in previously all-white schools in Charleston. Little Rock Integration At Little Rock, Ark., 123 Ne gro pupils were expected to at tend formerly white schools, 46 more than last year. Central High, scene of desegregation violence in 1957, planned to enroll 33 Negroes. The way was cleared in Ala bama for the start of second ary school desegregation next 1 week, probably on Labor Day. The Macon County Board of Education recommended 13 Ne groes be admitted to white schools at Tuskegee at the start j of the fall term Monday. The Birmingham Board of Education announced that five Negro children would enroll at three white schools Septem ber 4. Also
