The marchers assembled at St. James Methodist Church, paraded to the county courthouse, then back to the church, led by two Negro policemen manning rm We're Related story, Page A 17.

i Men in the angry, shouting crowd pointed out City Policeman James Owen as the officer who pushed both Evers and J. C. Fairley, president of the county NAACP. Firing of Officer Demanded The shouting Negroes demanded that Owen be fired on the spot. State and city police along the march route ran to the scene.

Owen told Police Chief Hugh Herring that he pushed the Negroes when he saw another demonstrator "reach into his coat, as if he had a weapon." Dist. Atty. James Finch told the demonstrators, "There will be no street trial." However, Finch said Owen would face a Civil Service Commission hearing with both sides having an opportunity to testify. Herring and Finch joined Evers in talking the crowd down. The marchers resumed ranks and returned to the church.

Other City police on motorcycles and state highway patrolmen guarded the marchers, and FBI men looked on. Scattering of Whites at Funeral In contrast to the march, the funeral was a scene of quiet weeping at a tiny Shady Grove Baptist Church about five miles" outside Hattiesburg.

There was a scattering of whites among the 1,000 who attended. The family included seven of the eight Dahmer children. Betty, 10, remained at the hospital, where she was under treatment for burns received in the fire-bombing. Four of Dahmer's six sons two Air Force sergeants in dress blues and two Army men, a sergeant and a specialist, in dress greens were among the mourners. White residents who attended the funeral waited outside the church during services and later went, one by one, to the family to express sympathy after the coffin was lowered into the grave.

President Johnson sent a telegram of sympathy to the family, and Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach sent an assistant, Wiley Branton, to represent him at the funeral. Downtown, Evers. a strapping 6-footer who is state field director for the NAACP, was shoved off the sidewalk, along with another Negro, on the return march to St.

James Church. "I hope the Ku Klux Klan of this state realizes that Negroes are no longer afraid," Evers said. "Every time you kill one of us, 10,000 more of us will march." Evers addressed the Negro marchers massed on the courthouse steps. About 200 whites, who stood silently in the street, showed no emotion. When the marchers began to leave, the whites stepped aside.

Three GOP senators and five representatives issued a statement declaring the legislature's action threatens American political freedom. "The Georgia Legislature has repudiated an honest and open election on the sole ground that the elected representative endorsed unpopular views," they said. 'Entitled To Express Views' "None of us agree with Mr.

Bond's views on the Viet Nam war: in fact, we strongly repudiate these views. But unless otherwise determined by a court of law, which the Georgia Legislature is not, he is entitled to express them." The statement was signed by Sens. Clifford P. Case of New Jersey, Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania and Jacob K. Javits of New York, and Reps.

Silvio O. Conte of Massachusetts. Frank J. Horton of New York, Joseph M. McDade of Pennsylvania, F.

Bradford Morse, of Massachusetts and Stanley R. Tupper of Maine. They said that as members of a political minority themselves they are "acutely conscious of the dangers involved in suppressing minority rights of any kind." They said the views of an elected representative on an important public issue do not constitute ground for refusing him his seat, adding: "If unpopular views are to be arbitrarily excluded, as they have been in the Georgia Legislature, then the legislative process, free elections and free speech can have no meaning." i NOTICE-NOTICE-NOTICE -i I WASHINGTON (AP) Eight Republics members of Congress last night called the refusal of the Georgia Legislature to seat Julian Bond "a dangerous attack on representative government." Bond, 26, a Negro, was denied his seat because of his support of a statement NAACP Man Raps Julian Bond Stand Of Students4 Group ATLANTA (AP) The head of the Atlanta chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) described as irresponsible yesterday some of the actions and statements by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the case of Julian Bond. SNCC in turn said, "The passion of the Negro community runs high in favor of Julian Bond," and it called on Gov. Carl E.

Sanders to urge the Georgia Legislature to adjourn until the matter of seating Bond is settled. The 26-year-old Negro politician and member of SNCC was refused his House seat Monday because other representatives objected to his endorsement of an SNCC statement calling U.S. action in Viet Nam aggression. Bond also said he admired persons who burned their draft cards. The Rev.

Samuel W. Williams, president of the Atlanta chapter of the N'AACP, said he felt a reappraisal of SNCC was in order after demonstrators tried to push past state troopers at the state capitol Friday. The incident followed a rally and marches protesting the denial of a seat in the legislature to Bond. "I don't understand why some of these young people would go completely out of their minds and try to get into the building. The legislature was not meeting." he said.

"Somewhere along the line they have got to understand that there is a differ One Week Only! Due to this extremely low price, the carpets listed here must be laid on a wall-to-wall basis only.
