Rally Give Non -Violent Lesson in Democracy Over 4000 Singing Bay Staters Surge Toward Lincoln's Statue By EDWARD G. McGRATH Globe Reporter WASHINGTON Massachusetts extended its Freedom Trail Wednesday from Boston to the white pillars encasing the Great Emancipator. At trail's end, more than 4000 Bay Staters picked up the heartbeat of Lincoln and by their tears and cheers a new revolution of the Negro-once-slave came alive as never before. "We shall overcome some day." Banners raised and dipped. BAY STATE Page 18 Massachusetts was in the making of history, and coming from the heartland of American history, this segment of 200,000 marchers stood in stature, it seemed, above the multitudes.

The path was lined with emotion as the contingent moved in calm cadence from Washington Monument to Lincoln Memorial. Eythym of the freedom songs echoed from the government buildings along Constitution av. and their enthusiasm was tempered with a decorum worthy of worship. Massachusetts presented a cross-section of America by color and faith and social strata. And it was thus that embattled Negroes who watched and participated could repeat again and again the one lingering phrase "Only in America Only in America." There were tears of pride from a race long humbled; of hope and of inspiration from Catholics and Protestants and Jews who rushed into the maelstrom of the greatest demonstration in the capital's history.

In a day when dignity contrasted with the screamed cheer of protest and loud song of demand, the glory hour for Massachusetts came at 11:45 a.m. At that moment the main body of Massachusetts marchers stepped from the broad, glassy apron of Washington Monument to Constitution av. for the sweep to Lincoln Memorial. A Negro minister from Charlotte, N.C., was the catalyst for the rhythm of the Massachusetts marchers. Bespectacled and wearing a soft straw hat and clergyman's collar, he joined the front line behind the identifying banner of the Boston N.A.A.C.P.

Rev. C. E. Quick contributed his booming baritone voice, and in chorus the mass of expansive marchers replied with full volume. "We shall overcome, we shall overcome.

By ROBERT S. BIRD WASHINGTON Th Negro march on Washington turned out Wednesday to be a profoundly moving demonstration so big, so orderly, so sweet-singing and good-natured, so boldly confident and at the same time relaxed, so completely right from start to finish, that America was done proud beyond measure. President Kennedy bespoke the feelings of everybody who witnessed it when he said Wednesday evening, "The cause of 20 million Negroes has been advanced" by the wonderfully handled event. Earlier, the President met with the 10 leaders of the march and told them it is going to take "very-strong bipartisan support" to get a civil rights bill passed in 1963. The whole world was a witness to the freedom march, and to the thing it represented.

This was the right guaranteed under the Constitution for the people to assemble peaceably and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. In this historic gathering, which police said was probably the greatest ever held in Washington from the standpoint of the number participating, more than 210,000 persons (by official police estimate) provided an awesome example of this constitution al, democratic American right. They came from every part of the country, and about 30 percent as estimated by this reporter walking along the line of march were white supporters of the Negro-organized demonstration. There was no disorder whatever. By the time the meeting reached its peak before the Lincoln Memorial even the thought of disorder had altogether vanished from the minds of the authorities.

Rather there was displayed a total sense of innate order and self discipline while at the same time there flowed out from the marching, singing, chanting thousands a joyous and outgoing flow of triumphant spirit. Triumphant in the hope so it seemed that Negro equality with white citizenship shall surely prevail soon in every part of this land.

HAD AD Globe Reporter WASHINGTON The March for Jobs and Freedom a part of which was conceived in Boston was joined here Wednesday by 1200 volunteers who boarded buses Tuesday night at Roxbury's Carter Playground. The buses filled with students and clergymen, housewives and professors pulled into Tremont st. from the playground, and a multitude of proud relatives waved and cheered and honked horns, and wished the mission Godspeed on its way. BUS TRIP Page 17 The Trip Home By ROBERT L. LEVEY Globe Reporter ENROUTE HOME FROM WASHINGTON The buses returning td Boston carried 1200 bone-weary civil rights commuters.

They had finished their marching and sped through the night from Washington, their bodies limp with fatigue; their hearts full of hope. TRIP HOME Page 46 his partner covered him. All the lights were on in the 12-by-8-foot cubicle. Nobody was in the room. An hour later, Det.

A tattoo on his right arm featured two naked dancing girls. Det. Lt Quinn had never killed a human being in his 22 years on the force.

But the new law removes the strike threat only 180 days. After that, the railroads are free to post new rules and the unions to walk out on any of seven issues not covered by arbitration.

Peabody Wednesday embraced an initiative petition designed to crimp the powers of the Executive Council. He called it "the most constructive step now open to proponents of improved government." (Story Page 12.) By FRANK C. PORTER WASHINGTON The House of Representatives Wednesday blocked this century's third nation-wide railroad strike less than eight hours before deadline. It enacted legislation calling for binding arbitration of the two major issues in the four-year-old work rules dispute.

The Senate had voted trie measure the day before. Passage came at 4:42 p.m. on a 286-to-66 standing vote after more than four hours of debate. President Kennedy signed the joint resolution into law about 6:15, and said the Congress had "reaffirmed the essential priority of the public interest over any narrower interest."

"The government of Viet Nam again reaffirms its determination to pursue this policy of conciliation regard-ing the Buddhists, but also its resolution to unmask all saboteurs of this policy under any disguise which they hide themselves." The note contended that the Buddhists arrested were "saboteurs disguised as priests," and said "to tolerate such abuse under the pretext that they are practicing religion is to accept seeing all Communist guerrillas transform themselves into priests and going into pagodas."

The Senate vote had been 90 to 2. The new law is believed to be the first time Congress has enacted compulsory arbitration. Many members, including its stoutest supporters, have voiced fear it might set a precedent for settlement of future labor disputes.

Within minutes after House passage, the carriers announced they were tearing down notices of the new work rules they were to have put into effect unilaterally at 12:01 a.m. today.

The protest was delivered in an official note to ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge by acting Foreign Minister Tru-ong Cong Cuu, It was the second official manifestation of disapproval of U.S. Vietnamese policy in two days.

Wednesday's note referred to the Aug. 21 State Department communique saying the U.S. "deplores repressive actions of this nature," referring to the Buddhist clergy round-up and raids on pagodas. Tuesday night the Army chiefs of staff disavowed Monday's State Department contention that the Army command was not responsible for the raids.
