Negro youngsters coming a rally at the Jackson St. Baptist Church, Tuesday morning (March 16), told the story without anger, impassively. "They rode right through the people, beating 'em with clubs. I they rode up on that porch near the corner knocked a baby from a women's arms, though I didn't see it myself." But now the wns looked green, the porches clean and whitewashed. The sun was warm, and happy came from the church--it didn't seem if there could...

...explaining that parading without a permit was illegal. And Willie Ricks, a SNCC staff member at the head of the line, explained that they were picketing on the sidewalk, not parading, and therefore did not need a permit. After a brief debate, the marchers simply sat down, filling a block of Decatur St. They stayed there an hour, while reporters gathered at the head of the line, interviewing Lackey and SNCC's James Forman, who was with the marches...

Fewer Garrotings. The block-long $600,000 museum at Fifth and K Streets, N.W., between the Capitol and the White House, is twice as big and contains nearly twice as many figures as its predecessor in an out-of-the-way, abandoned brewery, which last year drew half a million visitors. For Frank L. Dennis, a former Washington newspaperman and lawyer, has spectacularly revived in this age of electronic entertainment the macabre gimmick with which, 163 years ago, spidery old Mme.
