...begun on the Washington side of the river. Tens of thousands of people clung to the sides of the Reflecting Pool, which stretches between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. They overflowed beyond the big shade trees and sat on the banks on the Constitution Avenue side. David Dellinger, chairman of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, was standing in front of a rostrum across the street from the scolding stare of Abraham Lincoln. Dellinger was saying, "Our-voices will be heard and our bodies will be heeded...

But when we reached the Memorial, his neutrality disappeared and he tripled the fare. This kind of harrassment was reported by many of the marchers who had run into difficulties getting to Washington. Thousands of New Yorkers never made it because their chartered buses did not appear.

In the first ten days of this month, the Lincoln-Mercury Division sold only 5,650 cars, as against 14,058 last year. Though they, too, face possible strikes, the other automakers are cheering the best "debut time" in new car history. In all, the industry sold 327,531 new cars in the last ten days of September-second best ten-day period ever...
