"I have not decided whether I sha11 demonstrateor not. However" my pravers are with those who do. I donot know whether I can stana Jail without bail" but Iadmire those who can. I am not sure that I will be non-violent if I "hould be attacked for demanding to be treatedwith simple human dignity. I certainly hope and pray thatno relative or friend of mine will be shot in the back as wasMedgar Evers" the NAACP Pield Secretary in Jackson, MissiSSippi.

RE: MARCH ON WASHINGTON,AlJGUST 28, 1963

The July 30, 1963 issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer,a daily newspaper published in Cincinnati, Ohio, containedan article on page 32 captioned, "Cincinnati Clergymen PoisedFor March on Washington". This article indicated a8 follows:

Reverend Walter Beck, Chairman of the CincinnatiCouncil of Churches Special Commission on Religion and Race,stated his group '.• meeting on July 29, 1963, to recruitclergymen for the March on Washington was a tremendous success.Reverend Beck indicated that about 300 persons filled theCarmel Presbyterian Church, 3549 Reading Road, to hearspeakers representing Protestant Clergy, Roman Catholiclaymen, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Lay NegrD Community.

Beck stated that although the meeting stressedparticipation in the scheduled ~~rch on Washington, August28, 1963, that this march was not the prime purpose behindthe special commission.

Beck indicated that the commission was findingout the identity of people who are interested in making themarch, f~ther that at a meeting to be held on July 30, 1963,specific plans can be made.

Reverend Beck promised those in attendanceat the meeting that before Norman Hill, a New yorkrepresentative of the Congress of Racial Equality, leavestown, he wwld be able to anaounce some details of theplanned march. Reverend Beck stated, however, that hiscommission was interested in passing national legislation,

CHRISTIAN CRUSADE

j r

The July 29, 1963, edition of "The Daily Oklahoman",an established newspaper published at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,contains an article entitled. "Christian Crusader Blasts A-TestBan".

- • Thearticle lessey:~_sta~~. as follows:.

Billy Jamel'UarJi~~~anlelist. branded theU.S, ..~usstan-Brfltish-~st ban agreeme~ as another deceit byAverell Harriman. Hargis, in making his comments, was speakingbefore a rally of approximately one-hundred persons at the CalvaryTabernacle, 1813 N.W. 2nd Street in Oklahoma City on July 28, 1963.The rally was held in advance of the Christian Crusade conventionscheduled to be held August 2-4, 1963, at the Skirvfn Hotel"'inOklahoma City.

Hargis stated he felt the greatest need in the U.,S.is a spiritual and patriotical awakening. He claimed theCommunist timetable calls for taking over the U. S. in two yearsand it is the business of the church to be in the forefront ofthe battle. He stated he still believed we can whip "Communism,liberalism, internatjonalism, world_government, or what you callit".

Hargis stated Harriman"sold out the U.S. once beforeand Harriman knows you can not do business with the Communists.He stated S2 agreements have been made with the-Communists sinceYalta and SO have been broken. Now we're foing to foolishly dis-aTm while others continue testina. There s no evidence Khrushchevhas become a new man. This deal will enable the Communists tocatch up. We tied our hands and they go on testing."

Hargis said the last free election in the U.S. will benext year unless a conservative is elected. , He said he did notcare which political party wins in 1964. He predicted a thirdU.S. political party would spring up in 1964 1f neither partynontinated a conservative. He said, "There'll be the biggestpolitical convention in the history of the u.s. if they don't ,have a conservative. You know why? Because I'. goinl to helpbring it about." ,

"Former Major General Walker hit the test ban treaty,politics, and the press. 'Why must there be a test bantr.aty?' he asked. 'We never agreed with anybody to arm inthe first place. This is incredible. This reason is treason,'he said.

. "Walker said he's a member of one party, 'thepeople's party of America, and I'm sure 7S percent ofthe people are in it, too.'

" , What am I doing?' Walker asked, 'I'm propagan-dizing and agitating.' As the crowd began to applaua, heasked, 'Do you like it?' and was met with an ovation andscattered cries of 'Walker for President'."

The Augu~t~ 1963, edition of "The Daily Oklahoman"reflects that FULT(_)K7~EWIS r JR. was a speaker at the Sundaymeeting of the Christian Crusade in Okla:h.omaCity. The articlequoted Lewis as stating the conservatives, "s~lit into littlegroups", should uni t-eto "substi1lD a new pres Lderrt in theWhite House." He told conservatives to "get rid of schism, nit-picking, disagreements on little tiny details and fancy theories(and) get behind a candidate or principle which has the courageto break the JCennedy family hierarchy."

The article relates that about SSO persons in theSkirvin Tower attending the convention heard Lewis blast civilservice and foreign service programs, claiming the Kennedyadministration keeps the federal payroll big for vote-gettingpurposes. (~)

The article reflects LEWIS endorsed Senator BarryGoldWater for President and depicted President Kennedy as a"pleasant, superficial playboy who has no more business beingpresident than I have being God."

LEWIS was quoted as saying that to fight the inter-national Communist conspiracy, the average person "can voteagainst Mr. JCennedy for re-election."

This article indicated that the Christian Crusadeended its three-day session on the night of August 4, 1963.

" 'Even when composed of honest and intelligentindividuals, government combines and increases thestupidity of men. And for a government, the stupidaction, stupid course, is almost always the easiestand safest course,' he said.

"When asked if the John Birchers supported aparticular candidate for the 1964 presidential election,Welch said the society has 'no position ever in regardto politics.' He indicated a majority of the society

, probably would back a conservative candidate.

Concerning the nation's racial'upheavel, Welchsaid, "We have a very strong position in that we takeabsolutely no position. This matter shOUld be leftup to local communities to handle •••• the federalgovernment has no right to say what local groups shOUlddo.

"In summing up his 90-minute talk, Welch was'. applauded when he said as stupid as people can be,

'none of us anywhere can begin to touch governmentswhen it comes to stupidity. It is the tendency toincreasing, swollen, over-extended government thatconstitutes the greatest tragedy of the 20th century ,Welch said the world's people - except for the commu~ists'who, if they are truly communists can't be thought ofas human beings in any consideration of humanitarianqualities' ..are nearly alike."

RE: MARCH ON WASHINGTONAUGUST 281 1963

came up during this conversat1on and tedhad heard that there were several thousand gO~

o Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963, but he doubted that t s;OUld accomplish anything since the authorities would not let thewhites demonstrate there on that day due to the planned demonstra-tions of Negroes. ~compla1ned that the ao-called right-wleaders and people~ persuasion could not make a speech anymore due to opposition from Communist and leftist groups through-out the United States but that Communiste~ left-wingers a\ijlieswere permitted to make speeches wherever they wanted to.mentioned that in his opinion LINCOLN ROCKWELL1 leader of eAmerican Nazi Party, was a "third grade national soeialist" whomerely has a racket to get money and it is the opinion ot~that ROCKWELL is subsidized by Blna1 Blrith to justify the eXist-ence of Blnai Blrith in its purported~ht aga1nst racialdiscrimination in the United States. stated that he hadno organizational affiliations at presen 1 is only trying to makea living for himself and his family and could not afford to becomeinvolved in any suspect group for fear of losing the livelihootlof his family. He further offered the opinion tha t if a largegroup of white people did go into Washington on August 28, 1963,

DAn.El2!J!LSY ~ESBtf ~~Memorandum of A. Rosen to Mr. Belmont captioned as above dated

July 30, 1963, called attention to possible security precautions which might be placedinto eUect should any demonstrati.ons occur in the Federal Triangle area in connection\Vith the match on Washington, August 28, 1963, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Purpose ofthiS memorandum is to consider the suggestion of the Laboratory Division that someSeat of Government Bureau automobiles should be dispersed away from the buudlngthat any bottling up may be prevented.

The Admtnlstratl'Ve DiVision maintains 15 Bureau automobiles in theBunding courtyUd in addition to three automoblles and siX carryalls used 'I:f~,"'~I~'"by courier servtee of Files and Communications DiV1sion. In addition to thiS, oneBureau automob1le Is maintafned in the basement garage at Ide~tlflcat1on DiviS10nBuUdi.ng and three Bureau autoDlQblles at Riddell Build1n~ c: J ') I

by courier service would, of course, originate With FUes and CODlUlunicatlonsOf principal concern ,in this memorandum are the 15 remaining automobiles In the

't courtyard area. Our experience has been that the majority of these automobiles are~~A charged out for offlciaJ. use and leave the courtyard area prior to lOa. m. each day.

Based on Rresent indications of the activity which wU1 take place on August 28 In connec.tion With qa.e march on Washington, it does not appear that any dispersal of these auto-mobiles sl}ould be made prior to their being placed into use en the morning of Augu$t 28It would seem that any congestion or bottling up of the building would occur, if at all,lateI: ,in the 'day. Accordingly, I th1Dk the best procedure would be that as these auto-mo~iles are. charged out for use on the morning of August 28, instructions be given toeach user _~at prto:rt,to ~e~~g toi~e Justice BUilding With the Bureau automobUe
