Twenty busses were reportedly provided through the Human Development Corporation, the antipoverty agency here, five by the Mayor's office and eight by Steamfitters Union Local $61. MiliUnt Negroes participating she march had demanded that busses be available to remove marchers from the park as quickly as possible to avoid the dangers inherent in having large numbers of persons in one place.

Mayor Cervantes plans to take part in the march. He and other white persons hsve apparently accepted stipulation by aome militant Negroes that although whites are welcome to join the march, they should not expect to help lead it.

Hearnes ssid that he would not participate in the march. He noted that a similar march is to be held today in Kansas City and indicated that he should remain in Jefferson City in case he is needed to make any decisions in the event of civil disorder in either city. A final meeting of the Negro leaders who planned the march was held yesterday afternoon at the Mid-City Community Congress, 4003 Delmar boulevard. Those present appeared to make great efforts to maintain harmony. This was in marked contrast the initial planning meeting Friday, at which moderate and militant Negroes engaged in bitter exchanges over policy.

Present at yesterday's meeting as observers were several white leaders of the area, including Cervantes, County Supervisor Lawrence K. Roos; Jacqueline Grennan, president of Webster College; Thomas H. Eliot, chancellor of Washington University; the university's former chancellor, Ethan A. H. Shepley Sr.

and Episcopal Bishop George Cadigan. Commenting on the divergence of opinion but the need for unity, William Bailey, head of the Mid-City Congress told the group: "Maybe I hate your guts but I love Martin Luther King so much that I'm willing to march with you today although I may meet you to fight tomorrow." The remark was greeted by applause. St. Louis police held several meetings concerning the department's role. Several officers indicated that it was unlikely the department would be in a position to meet a demand voiced yesterday by some Negro militants that only Negro polios officers be used along the march route.
