Silhouettes of Lincoln and Washington have been the usual decorations known to even kindergartens until when asked “What is a silhouette.” The child’s answer was or maybe is “a black picture of Lincoln or Washington.” Some of us have protested when these silhouettes were not accompanied by one of Frederick Douglass who was also born in February. We wrote to Ebony Magazine to urge the publishing of pictures of Negro famous ones. If you have not reviewed the book “Famous' Negroes Past and Present” you have a treat in store. Its pictures of Negroes may be purchased at nominal price to be hung separately. The book is found in our neighborhood libraries, but I object to our librarians advertising it as “a book for Negroes.” It is a book for Americans. Harriet C. Kelley * * * JAPANESE GIRL WANTS PEN PAL To The Editor: I am interested in having a pen pal in America.

Fort Wayne graduating seniors are being encouraged to participate in a unique program to be sponsored by Ball State University this summer. Ball State University will pioneer in Indiana educational circles this summer with a fiveweek “Cramshop” aimed at raising the chances of college success for high school seniors or graduates from “disadvantaged or deprived backgrounds.” The “Cramshop” will be limited to those students who have been accepted or expect to enter college somewhere in the fall. The “Cramshop” will be a compensatory education experience on campus, and it will be aimed at strengthening the students in their weakest fields of study. Intensive work in each such field will be undertaken on a predominantly tutorial basis under the direction of a Ball State staff member. Each student will normally work on three academic weaknesses selected from among low reading ability, lack of skill in English composition, deficiencies in mathematics, and lack of general background reading. The “Cramshop” will last five weeks starting June 14, and total costs of board, room, supplies, test and instruction will be borne by Ball State University and by other sources which are supporting the “Cramshop.” * * * Herbert McGowan and Robert Wilkerson recently opened a real estate office at 2702 Weisser Park Avenue to better acquaint Negroes with the housing that is open in Fort Wayne. * * * Dr. Vivian Lewis, pediatrician of Flint, Michigan, described to parents and youth attending the sixth annual parent-youth forum, co-sponsored by the Fort Wayne Urban League and the Ministerial Alliance, the numerous career opportunities available in medicine and allied

career.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Persons from throughout the nation and from Canada, 25,000 strong, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., poured into this city under military escort, last Thursday, dramatizing their grievances over voters’ rights and injustice on all

fronts.

The marchers some nationally prominent, some unknown descended upon the former capital of the Confederate _ States ..chanting “freedom now.” The demonstration at the eapitol has been styled the largest in the history of the South. Dr. King called it a “victory day” celebration. But the marchers were greeted on all sides with manners of hostility or disdain. At the eapitol some state legislators viewed the marchers from the portico. Eventually their attitude or comment reflected disdain or

anger.

The marchers or their leaders had hoped to see Gov. George C. Wallace, they carried a petition. There were no indications that their petition would reach the governor, in keeping with the schedule of leaders of the marchers. A “finished politician” in the mold or traditions of Dixieland, Gov. Wallace in his inauguration “lament” declared “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever!” He said in a statement that he would not see “any group of citizens whatsoever until after the demonstration and march has concluded and dispersed.” Later he said he would “receive a petition from any group of citizens from the State of Alabama.” The governor remained in his office. He told newsmen he had planned a normal work day. Elsewhere, outside, it was another kind of day for those who

had had marched 50 miles from Selma, or all the spectators around the state eapitol. Spectators Negro and white lined the route of the parade. A disabled Negro war veteran sat on a wall weaping in an unrestrained manner, as the surging demonstration passed by him. He said, “I never saw such a thing before, It’s the most wonderful thing in the world.” REFLECTING a disdainful attitude, a state senator, Sen. Robert Gilchrist (Morgan County) said, “useless, senseless.” The march from the camp site the last overnight stop was sealed off by police and hundreds of national guardsmen and regular army troops. These had been called out by President Johnson. Two weeks ago marchers were beaten back at Selma by state troopers and Sheriff Jim Clark’s personal army using tear gas and billy

clubs.

“Everybody wants freedom! The marchers sang. The marchers carried placards, signs and flags. “Vote for freedom,” one placard de-

clared.

Lutherans care because Christ cared,” another declared. All religious faiths were well-represented among the marchers. A delegation of about 50 Roman Catholic priests, nuns and laymen from Chicago took part in the parade. President Johnson was kept informed of the progress of the march. He has called upon Congress to pass a new voting bill, to answer some of the voting grievances of Negro people of the Southland. The “March on Montgomery” was a voting rights protest which originated in Selma, Ala., almost three months ago. Negro people in the cotton and cattle area some places outnumber white people three or

four to one. But under intimidation or by various subterfuges they are not allowed to vote. Bayard Austin, an aide to directors of the “March on Washington” said, “Thla march from Selma is tha greatest. The national government has made it clear that it intends to use every power available to insure the right to vote.” Since the days when King John of England granted protesting serfs and peasants some promises of social justice in the Magna Carta the masses have demonstrated to achieve such ends. However, the Rev. J.H. Jackson, Chicago, pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church and president of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., said the march from Selma to Montgomery and other demonstrations were not the best methods of achieving equal rights for Negro people.
