Heavy Guard Lines Route Of Marchers
ENROUTE FROM SELMA TO MONTGOMERY, Ala. —(UPI)— With airplanes sweeping overhead and U.S. Army troops standing by, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 300 civil rights demonstrators trooped down Jefferson Davis Highway today on the second leg of their historic march to Montgomery.
The marchers stepped off promptly at 9 a.m. EST after spending a chilly night camped in a cow pasture.
TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT is a particularly tough one—to cover 17 $ \frac{1}{2} $ miles over narrow, steep-shouldered road through Big Creek Swamp. March leaders said they must make up the distance lost Sunday because of a late start. The marchers made only eight miles Sunday.
Before setting out, the ranks of the marchers were trimmed from 500 to 300 persons, in accordance with the order of the federal judge who approved the march. The order specified only 300 persons could march at one time along sections of U.S. 80 where the roadway narrows to two lanes.
A BIG GROAN went up from the demonstrators when the Rev. Andrew Young told them that some would have to drop out.
"Now don't get nervous because you can get back in the march when we get to the four lane again near Montgomery" Young explained.

If the word is "go," the seven-hour final countdown will begin at 2 a.m. EST Tuesday.

A surprise switch evident in the spaceport's bad weather behavior starched the U.S. spirits that wilted in the shadow of Russia' upstaging performance by Cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev four days ago.
FEDERAL SPACE agency officials said early today a weather forecast called for broken clouds at 8,000 feet at Cape Kennedy Tuesday—a considerable improvement over the gloomy clouds at 2,000 feet predicted just a few hours earlier.

"That would be great. . it's very good," said one agency spokesman. At 8000 feet, clouds are acceptable. But if they descend and remain below 5000 feet, a delay is certain.
Weather in the main and secondary landing areas in the western Atlantic Ocean remained good through late Sunday. But that, too was subject to instant and often unexpected change.

A message of importance to sophomore men
If you've got what it takes to be an Army Officer you may qualify for this new on-campus training program
A new Army ROTC program starts this coming Summer for sophomore men who apply prior to May 1-only 3,000 applicants to be accepted
If you're a sophomore now attending one of the 247 colleges and universities that offer Army Officer training-or you plan to transfer to one of these schools next Fall—you may qualify for the new two-year Army ROTC program.
This new program-designed especially for college men who have not taken Army ROTC during their first two years-will commence with six weeks of field training this coming Summer, beginning June 14. Then you'll have on-campus training during your junior year . . . six additional weeks at camp during the following Summer . . . and more on-campus training during your senior year. Even flight training is offered at some schools.
ROTC training is really a process of learning to organize and direct others to be a leader. Consider how important this ability can be to you throughout life; yet, to acquire it you will spend relatively little time in the ROTC classroom. You'll obtain valuable junior management experience . . . a fuller and richer campus life . . . extra spending money ($40 per month during your junior and senior school years, and even more during Summer training) . . . and, when you graduate, an Army Officer's commission as Second Lieutenant. Then you'll normally spend two interesting years on active duty, often abroad with opportunities for travel.
Talk to the Professor of Military Science on your campus about this opportunity. Ask him to describe this new short program in detail.
Or send in the coupon below for complete information. There's no obligation involved, and you'll not be subjected to any "hard sell" recruiting effort. The kind of men the Army wants can decide for themselves if this new opportunity is right for them.
If you're good enough to be an Army Officer, don't settle for less. Sign up now for Army ROTC.
Send in this coupon for more information on this new two-year on-campus Army Officer training program.
