(AP) -Christian leaders from abroad Wednesday eyed the civil rights demonstration in Washington, and some notables said It posed a summons to all men to fuller justice. The Most Rev. Arthur M. Ramsey, archbishop of Canterbury and primate of the world-wide Anglican Communion, said "we who are guests from other countries are very much moved by what i happening" in Washington. However, it is not just a matter of watching as bystanders, he said, but of taking the message of the event to heart in examining "our own consciences," He added: "Are we doing In our own countries, our own churches and our own cities alt ll'it we should be doing?" The council Includes most major Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox church bodies around the earth.

The largest was that of the so-called "Bonus Army" thousands of World War 1 veterans who converged on the city in June, 1932, while the congress was debating a soldiers' bonus bill. Trie House passed the bill, but the Senate, with 12,000 veterans milling about the Capitol, overwhelmingly rejected the measure. The congress voted money to sent the bonus marchers home, but many of them continued to camp in abandoned buildings near the Capitol.

Police who tried to evict them were driven off with clubs and rocks. On July 28, President Herbert C. Hoover ordered the Army to drive the bonus marchers out of Washington, The Army troops were led by Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur, then chief of staff. His staff Included a young major named Dwight D.

Eisenhower. The troops moved in on the veterans with sabers, tear gas and tanks, driving them from the city in chaotic flight, U.S. Nazi Party Officer Is Arrested WASHINGTON (AP)-The first person reported arrested during Wednesday's big civil rights demonstrations was an officer of the American Nazi party. He was identified by police as Karl Allen, 32, deputy commander under Nazi leader George Lin WASHINGTON (LTD The First Amendment to the U. S.

Constitution specifically guarantees "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Wednesday's civil rights demonstration is but the latest in a long series of historic occasions when Americans have marched on their capital city to invoke that right. One of the first and most famous marches was that of "Coxey's Army" in ISM. The country was in the grip of a severe depression and there were many unemployed. "General" Jacob Coxey, a Massillon, Ohio, businessman, gathered 300 of the town's jobless workers to accompany him in a march on Washington to demand that the government undertake public works. His ragged little "army" gathered recruits along the route to Washington and was about 500 strong when it encamped on the outskirts of the capital.

Coxey and a small group of marchers went to the capitol building to present their demands. They were charged by mounted police. Coxey was arrested and spent 20 days in jail, the First Amendment notwithstanding. His pathetic "army" remained In Washington for several months, until government funds were provided to transport the marchers back to their homes. In 1913, suffragettes began organizing marches on Washington to demand votes for women.

The largest demonstration, on March 13, 1913, saw 5,000 women marching determinedly down Pennsylvania Avenue. (Women were finally granted suffrage in 1921). The Great Depression of the It In a sense symbolizes the fact that his part of Kentucky is by tradition and custom a part of the South geographically and culturally almost as close to Memphis as to Louisville. a course of "gradualism," if nut to "do-nothlnglsm," And It might have been expected that here, if anywhere in Kentucky at least, there would be turmoil and possibly violence. But the story of Hopkinsville has been just about the opposite.

Many Sweeping Changes The summer of 1963 has been filled with sweeping changes in the patterns of life In Hopkinsville, but the city of 23,000 has taken them In stride. During recent weeks the school boards of Hopkinsville and surrounding Christian County decided, separately but almost simultaneously, to abandon their plans to gradual desegregation and ordered full Integration of their school systems Immediately this coming autumn semester. City Council passed, unanimously, an ordinance setting up a bi-racial Human Rights Commission to deal with racial problems. Voluntarily, in recent weeks, Until after World War 2, Hop- kinsville's population was almost one-half Negro. Emigration, In 1 VX dustrial development, annexation mm nulA many of the city's restaurants, theaters, bowling lanes and similar establishments have opened their doors to Negroes.

Except for the peaceful boycott of one chain food store, none of this has been accompanied by a single demonstration, disturbance, or even a sit-in, by either whites or Negroes. Many Offer Opinions What has made the difference in Hopkinsville? White and Negro leaders offer several key words: Communication, civic pride, planning, good faiih. courtesy. They make a formula that adds up on both aides to enlightened self-Interest. A major force has been energetic Mayor F.

Ernest (Dutch) Lackey, a portly radio executive, one of four brothers who operale radio stations in western Kentucky cities, and three of whom have served as mayors. As one Negro leader put it, "The mayor wants this town held together." Another said: "When we took the Human Rights Commission proposal to the mayor, he said he would examine it. And he did examine It, he didn't just stick it In file 13. Then he pushed it in council and they voted for it. We have faith that when he says he is working on something, he means It, so when he asks us to wait a little bit, we can have a little patience." and other factors since have altered the ratio, but it still is nearly 30 percent.

Clements to rezone property at 420 South street from residential to light industrial was dismissed Tuesday night by the Richmond Planning commission.

The planning commission voted to send the petition back to Common council with the recommendation that it be dismissed for lack of prosecution.

In time one gets the feel of a crowd's mood: the angry crowd, anxious to be provoked so it can get out of hand; the excited crowd, a willing captive of the orator's magic. Although this was labelled as a protest march, for better jobs, for housing, for freedom, today's gathering was surprisingly good humored and exuberant. Curiously, it was so slow arriving that for a long time the most pressing question at the Washington monument grounds was: Where is everybody?

Evening papers headlined President Kennedy's pledge that the civil rights gains of 1953 will never be reversed and that progress to equal rights for all citizens must be accelerated. Points most often stressed In editorials were that the United States stands on the threshold of immense social change and that violence on the march would prove a gigantic setback for the Negro cause.

It was also to have been fed into the intervision link, the Soviet satellites' television network. But five minutes before time, Yuri Fokin, a Moscow television commentator, said in a telephone interview the program would not be screened.
