'March' Not To

At Conventions
NEW YORK—A. Philip Randolph
announced Friday that the March
on the Conventions Movement—
For Freedom Now, which he and
- j. T . y i n-tf
vr. uretrtttr ijutiivr tv i »
launched last week, was not in
tended to “block entrance'’ to
either of the political conventions.
Raijdolph made his statement
in response to a number of in
quiries he said he had received
since the formal announcement
of the MARCH last we^k.
In clarifying the purposes oi
the mass non-violent demonstra
tions in Los Angeles and Chidago,
Randolph stated that “this project
is not a picket line in the conven
tional sense, but a protest march.
“Unlike a trade unifn picket
line, our objective is not to jalock
the entrance of any indivfduals or
groups into the convention halls.
“Rather our objective is drama
tically to demonstrate to both poli
tical parties the dissatisfaction of
the Negro with their performances
to date and to demand a specific
pr*ogram that guarantees freedom
now.”
Randolph described the term
picket line as a ‘misnomer.” “In

RALEIGH — Seven Negro stu-
:sr have turned down but
it appears that another 11 niay be
accepted in their bids to enroll
in all-white public schools for
the-next term.
Meanwhile, in the state's capi
tal city, it became clear that the
school system here would re
main segregated for another
school year since there were no
' requests for transfer before the
deadline.
Caswell County school board an
nounced Monday it had denied the
requests of all eight Negroes for
admision to white schools.
Seven are part of an original
group of 44 who first filed for
admission four years age. An
eighth was turned down because
he was not a part of the original
group.
Begistered letters notifying par
ents of the action were expected
to be sent by mid-week. Five days
would then be granted during
which a hearing could be sought
by the Negro applicants.
