Politico Warns Negro March May Spark Mob Scene in D C
In San Diego Rep Rob Wilson of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee warned officials fear a Negro civil rights march on August 28 in Washington could resemble a mob scene. He said the Defense Department is readying paratroop units and helicopter landing areas to prevent trouble and that government offices may close for the day with workers given a holiday. He projected 100000 to 150000 demonstrators converging on the capital to march to the Lincoln Memorial. He also called Sen Thruston Morton a leading GOP presidential dark horse with a TV friendly persona and a non renewing Senate term for a freer campaign.
