Seldom could pressure pile up so fast and intensely, nationwide, on a judge as on this one, right now trying to decide whether to forbid a ban by Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace on civil rights marches. And Dr. Martin Luther King main spokesman so far for the marchers, has felt the heat from inside his own ranks.

He wasn't there to lead the march which state police broke up on Sunday, March 7, with billy clubs and tear gas. He led another but only a brief one last Tuesday, turning back when police stood in the way. This peaceful confrontation and falling back had been arranged by the federal government through compromise on both sides: there could be a mile-march, no defiance of the police, then a turn-back, and no police action. More militant civil rights leaders in Selma, opposed King's willingness to Any expedition had been temporarily banned by Judge Johnson until he could make a final decision. King later admitted one reason he had led even this brief march was fear of violence by Selma Negroes until he could supply some outlet for "pent-up emotions." Discontent within Negro ranks about King's leadership for not beinig more militant could and may have far-reaching results.

Wallace, who rode into office as a segregationist and vowed "segregation forever" when he took the oath of office, may have felt he was reflecting the feeling of most whites in Alabama when he told his police to use "all necessary force" to break up that Sunday civil rights march. But the reaction against the violent beating of the Negroes was not limited to people outside Alabama. Two newspapers in particular the Montgomery Alabama Journal and the Selma Equipment Supplies Office Furniture Inventory Pads Bookkeeping Systems Desks Victor Adding Machine Chairs Ledger Sheets Post Binders Filing Cabinets Card Cabinets Royal Portable Office Typewriters STORM and SHIPLEY "THE BUSY CORNER" 2nd Market Sts. MO 3-5222 Times-Journal were highly critical of what happened. The Journal spoke of "dumb, cruel, and vastly excessive force" and "imbecility." Ten- spread within the state.

Protests pyramided actoss much of the nation in picket lines, sitins, liedowns. Nuns and clergymen rushed to Selma to help the civil rights forces. One clergyman was beaten to death, i Then Wallace asked to see President Johnson. The two men met for three hours Saturday. Wallace later said he would obey a court order to permit demonstrations, if Judge Johnson ordered it.

The heat was turned on President Johnson full blast to say something, use troops to protect the demonstrators in Selma, or send a bill to Congress to make sure discrimination could not i bar any Negroes from voting, From the smashing of the I Sunday march until he called a i press 'conference Saturday and met Wallace, Johnson kept quiet except for a brief, written statement issued to reporters, deploring police "brutality" in Selma and calling on both sides to be calm. In that week of almost total silence Johnson was criticized for leaving a leadership vacuum and was urged by many clergymen, members of Congress, civil rights workers and others to speak out. When he finally did, he said "brutality" in Selma "canr.at and will not be repeated; 5 that federal forces would be used protect Negroes there, if necessary; that he would send his voting bill to Congress th week; and that his administration had asked Judge Johnson "to order officials of Alabama not to interfere with American citizens who are peacefully demonstrating for their constitutional rights. When the court has made its order, it must be obeyed." Sunday night he announced he would state the case himself to Congress tonight. There could not imaginably be more pressure applied to Judge Johnson to decide in favor of the Negroes than President Johnson's statements, although the President's voice just happened to be the most authoritative among the many from individ- uals and groups from coast to coast.
