Leaders condemn action
By CAROLYN BOWERS
Kansan Staff Writer
Mobilization leaders are unhappy but not discouraged by the Justice Department's denial of a parade permit for Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
The march was originally scheduled by the New Mobilization Committee (New Mobe) to take place along Pennsylvania Avenue. The Justice Department agreed Friday to allow marchers to proceed down Constitution Avenue. New Mobe rejected the alternate route.
National guardsmen will be present during the march. Leaders of the KU Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam condemned the Department's decision last week as "an unrealistic attempt on the part of the government to discourage marchers from coming to Washington."
No one from the Lawrence area is discouraged, said Fred Murphy, Fayette, Mo., sophomore, Dave Ranney, Wichita junior and Louis Wolfe, program director of the Lawrence Peace Center.
Murphy and Ranney are steering committee members of the KU Mobilization Committee. Wolfe has coordinated plans for a chartered bus to Washington.
Rights are challenged
"Although the issue is still the Vietnam war and not the right for any given street, I seriously question the intentions of our government when it tries to simulate confrontation," said Wolfe, who views the Department's action as "strictly political."
"The right of Americans to congregate in American streets is still challenged." Wolfe added.
"The purpose of denying the permit is to tear down the moratorium and what it's trying to do and say." Murphy said.
"I want to go now more than ever to support it," Ranney said. "I'm not violent and I want to show that I'm against the war."
300 from Kansas
Wolfe, who has canvassed state colleges for several weeks to interest others in the Washington trip, expects approximately 300 people from Kansas to go. Students from K-State, Wichita State University and Bethel College in Newton are among those who will be going, he said.
"A conservative estimate of the number of people who will be in Washington on Saturday is a quarter of a million," he said, "although this could easily grow to 500,00 or even a million."
"There is no doubt that a large part of the people will be university-oriented," he said"but we also expect a fairly large involvement of Congressmen and representatives of church-related groups."
"The administration could contend with this if there were only students participating but there
will be too many other people involved," he said.
Troops cause concern
The presence of National Guard troops will only incite violence, Ranney said.
"This is just what the government wants," Ranney said. "With all those people there, it's to be expected that someone will get out of line. This will be an excuse for the troops to clear the street."
Jean Ashton, Lawrence senior and steering committee member, expressed concern for the government's expectation of violence.
"I suppose in their fear they feel they need to have troops there," Mrs. Ashton said, "but I hope they use discretion and don't crack down on the slightest provocation."

"The government is playing up violence because it doesn't want people against its policy in Washington," Bob Mears, Northfield, Minn., graduate student and steering committee member said.
