WASHINGTON CALLING EXTREMEISTS PUSHED ASIDE IN SUCCESSFUL MARCH WASHINGTON---It was partcamp meeting, part joyful picnic and part a determined, almost fierce political rally uniting people of so many kinds and conditions. Above all, it was an answer to the scoffers hoping for the worst. Gov. George Wallace of Alabama had sneered at whathe called an organized civil war, a rabble looking for trouble. ---Alfred Heller No one watching that vast crowd sweeping away from: the Lincoln Memorial couldhelp but be impressed by the quiet andthe patience with which they stood as the hours wore on, listening to a program that was inevitably too long. They hadcome from alloverthe country, schooled in the need for dignity and restraint. All the dire forebodings about what might happen with such an influx of people were put to naught. At times it seemed they were almost’ too restrained. Only when the chant, "Pass that bill,” now and then swept overthe assemblage, starting just under the speakers’ platform and sweeping out to the farthest reaches under the elms along the Mall, did the crowd seem to take life. But the depth of feeling was there just beneath the surface. In the response to the fiery words of John Lewis, chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, calling on the marches and the demonstrations to continue until equality should be won, you could be sure that this was not just a glorious outing that was an end in itself. The Negro leaders who spoke were all veterans of a war still going on, and the march was merely a pause in which to recite battles won and warn of the long and difficult campaign still ahead, How much that great demonstration--the greatest test in the history of the capital--will mean for civil rights legislation is hard to say. In the cold light of the morning after, as the weary marchers return home, it may seem small indeed, Attitudes are hardening on both sides of the integration line. In the House, members of the liberal bloc feel that the Kennedy Administration has made a characteristic tactical error inasking for less than a full measure of civil rights and expecting to take less than that. Rep’s. James Roosevelt and other have been pressing the White House to include a fair employment practices provision. The crowd held up an impressive number of signs calling for a Federal FEPC. Administration supporters are saying that it will be enough to get the basic structure of civil rights legislation, then expand upon it in the years ahead, A lot of hard work and a lot of Inck will be necessary for even gacie IN THE EARLY DANS ok THE (INDUSTRIAL NOW ADANS ) THE CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVES .the first fundamental step, But if the legislation is watered down--the public accommodation section amended to cover only establishments with 50 or more employees for example--the deep and dangerous frustration for which the march was a temporary outlet will build up again. Thecrux of the whole matter is jobs. The most forthright expression of this came from Walter Reuther of the United Auto Workers. Without jobs for both whites and Negroes in an expanding economy, civil rights tend to seem a theoretical privilege for the affluent of both races, Regardless of how much it finally means to the civil rights score, this great orderly mass outpouring will go down inthe history of the capital as a triumph, The setting andthe day were perfect. As the hours wore on, the shaft of the Washington Monument threw a deepening shadow on the reflecting pool, framed by the crowd stretching almost its entire length. They had sat through to the end with little movement, with only at the extremities people coming and going as the oratory wore on, They were rew arded by the closing speech of Martin Luther King Jr. which rose above mere oratory .to a moving peroration of what the future can mean for an America that has wiped out the hatred of race prejudice. King and the other leaders had shown not only that they could organize such a gathering but that in this crit~ ical juncture they could hold the support of the mass of Negro people, The extremists were pushed to the remote sidelines. And that isperhaps the greatest measure of the success of a day that has had few if any parallels in the life of this city. (Copyright 1963) ---Marquis Childs TROUT MAY SUFFER FROM UTAH DAM © The U.S. Forest Service has informed the Utah Wildlife Federation that the initial planning phase of the Central Utah Water Project leaves unsatisfied a release requirement of about 17,600 acre-feet of water needed for maintenance of minimum fish habitat and recreational values. Four important trout streams are involved. This means that unless the Bureau of Reclamation can produce an additional 17,600 acre-feet of water, these four streams willno longer furnish fishing and recreational opportunities, ifthe project is completed under present plans. The Utah Wildlife Federation expressed its concern in a resolution to the effect that it will support the Central Utah Water Project only if it meets with the unqualified approval of the state and federal agencies responsible for the recreational resources. Senate Document No. 97, titled “Policies, Standards and Procedures in the Formulation, Evaluation, and Review of Plans for Use and Development of Water and Related Land Resources, gives general guidelines so that all of the involved agencies can presumably coordinate planning. Does, this then solve the problem? Unfortunately, no, River basin development, a product of the population explosion and twentieth century -style progress, is vastly complicated, The history of basin development, and especially reclamation in the West, is a somewhat sordid story of single use, Multiple use water developments have largely come about only through force of public opinion and not because of any sudden enlightenment of the planning engineers, Nowadays, the planners must use every real and imaginary benefit to obtain a favorable cost-benefit ratio.

These questions will become more important as time goes on, The second phase of the Central Utah Project, as an. example, may involve violation of established wilderness areas inthe high Uintah mountains. While we are gaining experience in coordinated planning, it is apparent that only the surface of the water is being disturbed. Conservationists must insist that a balance be struck that assures preservation of trout streams as well as creation of reservoirs; that provides for the maintenance of some high-quality recreation opportunities as well as creation of “quantity” facilities. ---Bill Reavley National Wildlife Federation LETTER TO THE EDITOR EASTERN INTREST IN PRESERVATION IS CITED To The Editor: I have just returned from the East Coast and find that in the main, citizens there are keenly aware of their historic buildings and have gone to great lengths to preserve them -Newport, Rhode Island being the classic example.
