GATCH CANCELS VISIT Vol. LIV Moratorium March Nov. 15 Permit Revoked, "Minimal" Force Pledged By Gov't. WASHINGTON--Ron Young, Project Director for the New Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam, was trapped by report ers in a crowded corner of the tiny MOBE press room. His eyes bloodshot from sleep less nights and long hours of bickering with Justice Depart ment officials, Young kept up the facade of optimism. Richard G. Kleindienst, deputy attorney gen eral, had announced only hours earlier that no permit would be given for the Nov. 15 anti-war parade down Pennsylvania Ave. expected to draw hundreds of thousands from throughout the country. But Young maintained,"There will indeed be permits." "It is the basic right of Amer icans to demonstrate, and Penn sylvania Avenue is the official route for parades in the capi tal. It connects the two centers of power, the Capitol and White House... It is vital that we be able to pass the White House, for that is where the president lives and he has the power to end this war." Young said. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FORCE The Justice Department denies that right and says it will use the "minimum force" necessary to keep the demonstrators off Pennsylvania Ave. and away from the White House. The difficulty with the Mobil ization, Kleindienst said, is that its march lacks the predictable character "of anAmerianLegior parade," and therefore must bt limited by the government. The limiting of free assembly and dis sent is clearly unconstitutional and certainly cannot be the tac tic of a free-world government, MOBE spokesmen maintained. Young, pressed and pressed again by reporters, explained, "We are firmly committed to this march, and we have faith in this democratic government that it will grant the necessary permit (for one of two alterna tive routes proposed by MOBE.) Slumlord Horton Evicts Tenant W. W. Horton, well known Greensboro slum-lord, evicted Mrs. Rosa Stein from her home at 319 Gillespie Street last week. Horton claimed that Mrs. Stein was behind in her rent. Sheriffs deputies aided a WWImgBBnKBm* ISH smh| : : ;...■ " ' ■'.,■■ ' 1 . "■;*■ T .' \ -; - , "- ' A SCENE IN THE HOME OF MRS. ROSA STEIN Photo by Bloom The Quilfortocm We have to go ahead believing we have these rights. I don't know what else to believe...." His voice trembled. And he told reporters the march past the White House may go on with or without a permit. CHANCES MORE BLEAK Later, talking with CPS re porters, Young said he realized chances are looking more gloomy for reaching agreement with the Justice Department, but that MOBE was going to keep trying. "If we come out and say we don't have a chance to get a permit, then what kind of chance do we have?" Young said MOBE is thinking in terms of alternatives for Sat urday's march, but the Justice Department is pinning them in every way possible. Kleindienst would restrict demonstrators to the mall area bei*een the Capitol and Washing ton Monument. "Mr. Kleindienst would reduce peace members to secoad-class citizens," Young challenged. "The Justice Department is jarrying out a policy of pro hibiting dissent against the war to fit in with White House policy... You can be sure the President is fully aware of what is going on." MODIFIED PLANS Already MOBE has made sig nificant modifications in its plans, hoping to come to an agreement with government of ficials. It has offered an al ternate parade route down Con stitution Avenue and has offered to parade behind the White House instead of in front of it. It also has offered to allow only 40-70,000 persons to parade along Pennsylvania Avenue in stead of. the entire mass. But the Justice Department has yet to budge, other than to grant a permit for the two-day single file march against death Novem ber 13 and 14. see page 3 representative of Horton in the eviction. A group of A and T State University students surrounded the slum house to prevent eviction before Mrs. Stein's furniture could be salvaged. Policemen did not hinder the students.

The SAC will hold a hearing in the near future to determine whether Wolinsky's appeal should be accepted. Under SAC rules, the SAC could send Wolinsky's case back to the MIG for another hearing, hear it themselves, or let the MIG decision stand. AVERY AND DAVIS MoultoniAvery and Evan Davis matter for the faculty, many legislators want to do away with the rule.

However, carpools aro currently being ar ranged. In other business, the consti tution of the Guilford College Economics Society was approved.

According to reliable sources, the R.A. summoned an MIG member to watch the suite door while he searched for the Head Resident.
