Marshall Will Meet With Kennedy Team
WASHINGTON —(UPI)—President Kennedy's two-man peace team, named to try to defuse the racial powder keg in Birmingham, Ala., will huddle this weekend with the administration's chief civil rights troubleshooter.
Marshall has been at the forefront of government efforts to ease the strife in Alabama and flew to Birmingham early this week to assess the renewed tension.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division, said today he would meet with the two mediators—former Army Secretary Kenneth C. Royall and ex-army football coach Earl (红) Blaik—in New York before they leave for Birmingham.
The President named Royall and Blaik yesterday as his personal representatives to attempt to mediate a truce in the racial crisis in Birmingham in the wake of high tension resulting from the bomb deaths of four Negro children in a church Sunday.
he presumably will brief Royall and Blaik on the situation before they go to Birmingham, possibly early next week.
Marshall played a key role as mediator in bringing about a temporary truce after violent clashes between whites and Negroes in Birmingham earlier this year.
Kennedy met with seven Negro leaders yesterday at the White House on the Birmingham crisis and appealed for restraint and responsibility on the part of all Alabamans. He agreed to meet Monday with five Birmingham white leaders, at the request of Mayor Albert Boutwell.
to present their side of the picture.
Boutwell immediately pledged to cooperate with Royall and Blaik following announcement of their appointment as mediators. The Rev, Martin Luther King Jr., leader of the Negro delegation that met with Kennedy, did likewise.
King and other Negro leaders discussed the racial situation today at the Justice Department with Marshall and another top official, but Birmingham apparently was not the prime topic. King said afterward that he and his aides expressed their concern and displeasure at the recent indictment, at the request of the Justice Department, of nine leaders of the Integrationist Albany Movement of Albany, Ga. The charges are conspiracy and perjury.
