Between ISO.Ono and 200,000 persons according to police estimates, took part in the dramatic, solemn and highly emotional march and services for King, who was slain at 39 by an assassin in Memphis Thursday. King's body was drawn across Atlanta in an old farm wagon by two mules.

A host of dignitaries, including Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Sen. and Mrs. Robert Kennedy, Sen. and Mrs. Eugene McCarthy, former Vice President Richard Nixon, Mrs.

The day was nearing its end when King's body was lowered into a Georgia marble mausoleum in South View cemetery on a grassy slope within sight of Jonesboro Road.

The services and march were orderly, but some persons did succumb to the 80-degree heat. The marchers sang such songs as 'We Shall Overcome" and 'Ain't Gonna Study War No More." but when the marchers neared the Morehouse campus, they became silent.

Wherever he went among the crowds gathered here, people cheered him, rushed up to shake his hands, pushed to touch his clothes, and, at one point, thousands of them mobbed him. The magic of the Kennedy name, with those gathered for the funeral, was obvious from the time several members of the family entered Ebenezer Baptist Church for the private funeral services Tuesday morning. A hum of excitement spread across the crowd outside the church on Auburn Avenue when the New York senator, his sister-in-law, Jacqueline (Mrs. John Kennedy, and his brother, Sen.

Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, appeared. After the private services, the crowd pressed toward the church until New York Sen. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel, came outside and joined the march to Morehouse College. There were screams of, "Bobby, Bobby!" from the crowd.

Opponents of the Senate-passed package will have the first move in Wednesday's parliamentary schedule as they seek to have the House vote down the resolution to take up the Senate bill.

If they win, the measure will go back to conference committee, and possible deadlock. If they lose, the lower chamber will vote directly on whether to accept the Senate bill.

Men's hearts are changed, scientists say, by heavy deposits of cholesterol, by various diseases which impair vessels and valves of the heart, and by the processes of aging. What must, be changed, and what the figure -of speech means must be changed is men's minds.

Many centuries of history leach that minds change slowly and when a personal or vested interest, usually economic or social, is concerned, they change most reluctantly. This is why it always has been a falsity to say, in discussing 'the long pent-up injustices of racial discrimination in America, that legislation could do no good and that one must wait on men to change their hearts. This is an evasion of reality. Had it not been for legislation enacted by the Congress and for constitutional interpretations by the courts, there would have been no real change in racial attitudes in America. To be sure, there had been progress in this area, but it was moving with the speed of a glacier and its speed would not have been greatly accelerated had we waited for men's hearts to change.
