March Leaders Agreed
Lewis Talk Too Hot
By CASPAR NANNES
Star Staff Writer
ROCHESTER. 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."

The Chicago Bishop added.
"We feel we have more white
people actively for us who are
willing to be counted.”
In another interview, the
Most Rev. A. M. 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.

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."

' USIS activities and operations
' placed directly under United
States ambassadors or top
diplomats.

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.

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.”

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.

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 <at Birmingham, a Fed
eral Judge ordered the admis
sion of a Negro to white Flor-
I ence State College at Florence,
Ala., where the fall term starts
j September 11.
The University of Alabama
already has desegregated. .
Fanner Pleads Innocent
The city council in the South
Louisiana town of Plaquemine
declined to act on the request
I
Pasadena, Calif, on a morals
charge.
Because of his record, he has
been a favorite target of South
ern segregationist Senators.
Philip Randolph, the patriarch
of the civil rights movement
and originator of the march,
decided, in the face of opposi
tion from other leaders, that
he needed Mr. Rustin for the
march. He decreed that he
should read the March pledge
at the Memorial.
At this moment of triumph,
the leaders are being studied
anew as to philosophy. Mr.
Rustin Is more radical than
the Urban League and the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored Peoples,
but far more conservative
than the youthful militants of
CORE and the Student Non
violent Co-ordinating Com
mittee.
Derides "Crackpots”
At the Socialist Conference,
with Norman Thomas benev
olently watching him from
the sidelines, Mr. Rustin
derided the “crackpots” In the
civil rights movement. While
several earnest young people
pointed out the need for ac
tion, “even if you don’t know
where you'll get the bail,” he
satirized the "gimmicks” which
he thinks impede the move
ment.
"We have been very lucky,
indeed, in that all sorts of
things hit the newspapers these
days. Where in the name of
God has anybody gone on a
of a Negro delegation for the
release of some 30 prisoners.
The reauest was made after
the Fifth United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at New Or
leans stayed a district judge's
order barring racial demonstra
tions at Plaquemine.
Meanwhile James Farmer,
national director of the Con
gress of Racial Equality and
15 other Negroes pleaded not
guilty to charges of disturbing
the peace durihg demonstra
tions at Plaquemine earlier
this month.
There were demonstrations |
and sit-ins in a number of I
cities during the day.
About 600 Negroes marched
In Athens, Oa., to protest the
arrest of five teen-agers in a
racial incident earlier this week.
Police said there was no vio
lence during the march.
Three CORE demonstrators
were arrested on disorderly
conduct charges during a sit
in at the Milwaukee courthouse.
They were demanding the re
moval of a member of the com
munity social development
commission.
At Williamston. N. C., high-'
way patrolmen were placed on
standby alert after several
persons were arrested on
charges of inciting to riot dur
ing an anti-segregation demon
stration. Officers on the scene
in the Eastern North Carolina
town reported considerable
property damage caused by
thrown rocks, bricks and bot
tles.
Negroes Turned Back
A Negro spokesman said
about 300 members of his race
were met at the edge of the
downtown area and turned
back by officers.
Four white boys were treated
for head injuries at Smithfield,
N. C., following a bottle cap
and rock throwing incident in

papers? Number one, you
should only fast in a society
which has respect for fasting,
which this one ain’t. Number
two, a fast should be of long
enough duration so you at least
look thinner, and number,
three, you should be in public
evidence enough so that people
know you are really not eating.
The CORE people in New York

hit the Times.”
Other Rustin plain talk:
“President Kennedy was afraid
of trouble in the march. Then
he Joined us and almost smoth
ered us. We had to make daily
new demands to keep that man
from catching up with us.”
Mr. Rustin wants whites and
Negroes tc go out into the
streets together to march for
jobs.
New Organisation
Right now, he is busy organ
izing the “People’s Congress,”
another mass movement which
would bring a thousand people
a day to Washington when the
Senate begins debate on the
civil rights bill. He calls it “a
people’s lobby” which will come
to Washington to speak for
democracy, "which the Senate
is obstructing.”
Mr. Rustin, the most caustic
of the Negro spokesmen, has
assumed a new stature since
the success of August 28. Every
great movement needs tech
nicians. And he seems both
enough of a realist and enough
of a philosopher to fill the bill
for the Negroes.

suspended.
In Washington, John Lewis,
chairman of the Student Non
violent Coordinating Commit
tee, said in an interview, ' We
want the people at the bottom
of the economic ladder to get
out and demonstrate for jobs.”
He said Nashville, Durham
and Atlanta were “the kind of
cities we will concentrate on
now, but they are not the only
ones.”
The 23-year-old SNCC leader
said civil rights groups are
more united now than before
the Washington march.
