1905 THE EDWARDSVILLB INTELLIGENCER Halt Rights March By BILL CRIDER BOGALUSA, La. (AP) A Negro march on City Hall in this racially tense lumber mill town ended abruptly today in confusion and near hysteria at a downtown intersection about eight blocks after it began. Whites clustered at the intersection said one of the official cars convoying the line of some 500 Negroes ran over a white man. The uproar split the parade of Negroes, marching feur abreast, about a third of the way down the line and stalled the inarch. Asst.

Police Chief L. C. Terrell tried to get things moving again. When he failed, he ordered the march turned back. It wasn't clear exactly what happened.

Terrell shouted that the car did not touch the man. This was angrily disputed by many whites in the crowd. The man sprawled on the pavement until an ambulance took him away. The marchers, mostly teenagers who skipped school, had started out for tht City Hall to back demands for changes in the old pattern at racial segregation. Their leaders included James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality, which is assisting the Bolgalusa Civil and Voters League in a registration drive.

City police were on extraordinary alert, backed up by state police and sheriff's deputies. It was a steaming, summer- like morning as marchers set out. The march started after an hour of speeches and freedom songs at a Negro union hall.

The marchers had a permit from Mayor Jesse H. Cutrer. Cutrer had appealed to a meeting of about 300 white persons to "avoid another Selma." At approximately the same time, some 500 Negroes held a rally, with Farmer as the prin- cipal speaker. The rally wai protected by police. "When you struggle in Bogalusa," Farmer said, "there are millions of your brothers and sisters all over country struggling for you." Clusters of whites stood at the edge of the police perimeter.

Carloads of white men cruised through the area. Farmer canceled plans to leave Bogalusa today and said he would join the marchers. He noted that Gov. John McKeithen had described him "as nothing but a troublemaker," Stock Market NEW YORK (AP)--The stock market resumed its rally in heavy trading early this afternoon.

WASHINGTON (AP)-A voting bill described by the chairman as "strong dosage" was approved today by a House Judiciary subcommittee by a heavy bipartisan margin. Thr bill sticks closely to the original measure sent up by the administration but adds provisions designed to make it easier for Negroes to vote in all part: of the country. "This is a tough bill," said chairman Emanuel Celler, D- N.Y. "It is strong dosage." Celler will convene the full Judiciary Committee next Tuesday to start work on the bill. Only one member of the 11- member subcommittee, Rep.

William C. Cramer, voted against sending the bill to the full committee. Among other things, the House subcommittee included a provision which would outlaw poll taxes as a requirement for voting in state and local elections. They are barred by constitutional amendment in federal elections, but questions have been raised about the constitutionality of applying the ban to state and local elections. The Senate Judiciary Committee added a similar provision Thursday as one of a se- Street Scuffle (Continued from 1) and a cut lip, but refused medical attention.

Police said they were called to the scene by Chief Deputy Sheriff George Ramach and Deputy Clyde Tisdel who observed the brawl and radioed from a patrol car that Mr. Johnson "might need help." rles of amendments to Its own version of the voting rights bill. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the Senate Republican leader, said the amendments "absolutely jeopardize the bill in my judgment" and announced he would seek a reversal of the decisions.

But Sen. Philip A. Hart, one of the sponsors, predicted the committee would stick by its vote. The bill retains the administration's approach designed to strike down literacy tests and send federal registrars into six Deep South states Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
