MAY 29, 1963 ST. LOUIS POST- DISPATCH 3A DR. KING CALLS FOR KENNEDY DECREE TO END ALL SEGREGATION Addresses 3000 at Rally Here Urges Second Emancipation Proclamation By WILLIAM K. WYANT JR. Of the Post-Dispatch Staff President Kennedy should issue a second emancipation proclamation declaring all racial segregation unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment, the Rev.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said here last night. Dr. King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, addressed 'an enthusiastic, responsive audience of more than 3000 persons at Washington Tabernacle Baptist Church, 3200 Washington boulevard.

"We are saying that now is the time-now is the time to lift this nation from, the quicksand racial injustice-now is the times to get rid of segregation and discrimination," he said amid shouts and applause. The Rev. Dr. King reminded his audience, which overflowed into the vestibules and basement of the church, that Abraham Lincoln signed the proclamation freeing the slaves 100 years ago. The Fourteenth Amendment, safeguarding citizenship rights, was ratified just after the Civil War.

'Moving Up the Highway' "We are moving up the highway of freedom toward equality," said the Rev. Dr. King, who was jailed in April in connection with Birmingham desegregation efforts. "We love America too much to slow up. We can't afford to slow St.

Louis has made significant progress in passage of a 1961 public accommodations law and in desegregation of schools, the Rev. Dr. King said, but barriers remain in the area of housing and employment. of you go home tonight with the idea the Negro is free in St. Louis," said the speaker, a Baptist minister.

Throughout his address, the Retro Dr. King, who has been influenced by the passive resistance philosophy of the Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi, emphasized that the American Negro's attitude in striving for equality should be characterized by "a deep commitment to nonviolence." Hate' Negroes, he said, must follow the Christian rule of hatred and enduring blows, jail and even death, if necessary, without dealing in violence and hatred themselves. is possible to stand up against injustice without hate," he said. "And let nobody call this a weak method. There is power in nonviolence, for they have mastered the art of dealing with violence, but they don't know what to do with nonviolence." The Rev.

Dr. King said Negroes sense of had come dignity to and have: a a new sense of self-respect. His advocacy of nonviolence and his expressed faith in Christian ideals were warmly applauded, as was his call for unflinching action to end segregation now. "You can help us in Alabama," he told the audience, composed largely of Negroes, "by getting rid of injustices that still exist here, realizing that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The Rev. Dr.

King said he had nothing but love for the white man and for all humanity. He said a new day of brotherhood was being brought into being. He repeated the "We Shall Overcome" hymn that has become the theme of his movement. Shall Overcome' "Deep in my heart I do believe-we shall overcome," he said. "We shall overcome because the Bible is right.

The Lord will see us through, for we know that in this struggle we have cosmic companionship." The address by the Southern Negro leader, who has been jailed 14 times for his antisegregation activities, was preceded by a three-hour program at which a collection was taken for aid of demonstrators now in prison at Birmingham. Two other speakers, who have participated in the King movement, the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, who heads the conference chapter in Alabama, and the Rev. Dr.

Ralph Abernathy of AtJanta, financial secretary-treasures, addressed the meeting. Both are Baptist ministers. Presiding was the Rev. Dr. John E.

Nance, pastor of Washington Tabernacle and president of the Baptist Pastors' Conference of Greater St. Louis. Choirs from three churches sang hymns. Among persons who made brief welcoming remarks was the Rev. Dr.

O. Walter Wagner, executive director of the Metropolitan Church Federation. Another white minister, the Rev. William G. Lorenz, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, gave the benediction.

John M. urged civic and business leaders today to contribute $150,000 toward establishment of a memorial chapel at Westminster College, Fulton, in honor Winston Churchill. He made his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at the college in 1946. The Governor, speaking at the Statler Hilton Hotel, said that he had never before used his elective office for support of a fund-raising drive. He said that he regards this as a special project.

Hundreds of thousands of tourists would be attracted to the state to the chapel, which would pay see, tribute to the great world statesman, Dalton said. Leaders to Be Invited The Governor said that both President John F. Kennedy and the next Prime Minister of Great Britain would be invited to Fulton for groundbreaking ceremonies, scheduled for March 5, the eighteenth anniversary of the Churchill speech. The chapel is expected to cost $1,500,000, Gov. Dalton said the memorial is important also because it would shatter a myth that Missourians are interested only in local or regional affairs.

"Missouri locally minded because is where we make our living," Gov. Dalton said. "We are nationally minded because we are part and parcel of the whole national community, and internationally minded because we live in a world where communications have made a man 15,000 miles away our neighbor. "While our boys are manning tanks in West Berlin and young men from Missouri are flying missions in Viet Nam, how can we fail to be internationally minded?" Churchill, Gov. Dalton said, to us at a murky moment in history when the shape of things to come was not at all clear.

His prophetic vision saw what few were prepared to admit at that time. His speech on that day will rank as one of the great political speeches of history." A Great Asset The memorial, Gov. Dalton said, will be built of the ancient stones of St. Mary of Aldermanbury church, designed by Christopher Wren, and will be a "cultural and historic asset of marked value, yet another indication of Missouri's ability to accomplish the great and the symbolic." The Governor said that he plans to address a similar meeting in Kansas City on June 17. "I have made my contribution," the Governor said, "and it is for Missouri that I ask your support -I am confident this is a great effort in which we can all unite." A booklet distributed at the luncheon meeting broke down expected costs of the memorial.

It now goes to the House.

An end of the present "crazyquilt pattern" from one municipality to another is foreseen by the sponsor, Senator Maurice Schechter Creve Coeur, under this legislation. The bill would authorize the St. Louis County Council to set up a County-Urban Road System and designate any street, road or highway as part of it without reference to town and city boundaries.

SHUTTLESWORTH, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference chapter in Alabama; the REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. of Atlanta, dral. I think there has been some discrimination going on." Audience Seems Stirred The audience was orderly and in good spirits.

It seemed deeply stirred both by the appeals for nonviolent action, including the donation of funds, and by the frequent references to the teachings of Christianity and to such American documents as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The Rev. Mr. Shuttlesworth, describing his recent experience with Alabama police and state troopers, took occasion to praise the conduct of police officers he had seen in St. Louis.

"From the way policemen treated me in Birmingham and the way they treated me he said, "I can see why you have such a great city." The Rev. Dr. Abernathy received a delighted response with his sallies against the "Uncle Tom" type of Negro who, as he put it, "will sell the Negro out for a mess of segregation pottage." "Some are 'Uncle Toms' 'Uncle Thomases' Harvard accent," he said. The Rev. Dr.

Abernathy, a stocky man who speaks in a deep, resonant baritone, mixed humor with his message. He told his audience he was a specialist in detecting Uncle Toms and could spot them anywhere. He got whoops of laughter when he said: "I looked over this church, and I saw a few here tonight." Morning Meeting The Rev. Dr. King and his group spent last night at the Statler Hilton Hotel.

They were to depart for Louisville today after a meeting with the St. Louis Ministers and Laymen's Association for Equal Opportunity, a biracial group formed in April.

Dr. King said that in travels abroad he had been quesfrequently about racial discrimination in the United He said racial injustice was seriously damaging America's prestige overseas.

He said that the freedom sought by Negroes was "the freedom to deliberate and weigh alternatives about life situations, whether to eat hamburger or steak, to be a Republican or Democrat, or whether to live in New York City or Miami, Fla."

Roos is distorting facts on the county budget to lay the groundwork for a tax increase, State Senator John J. Johnson of Affton, chairman of the county Democratic Committee, charged today.

In a statement issued here, Johnson assailed Roos's recent report that the county spent 022,955 more than it collected last year and will have a large deficit again this year. Johnson declared that the county has a surplus of funds "and Mr. Roos knows it." The Democratic leader said that Roos, a Republican, did not use facts but created his own set of figures to prepare county residents for a request for a tax increase and to discredit the previous Democratic administration. This is an "extremely unusual position" for Roos to take in view of his campaign pledges against tax increases, Johnson said. "Mr.

Roos apparently doesn't know that the County Charter prohibits the county government from spending more than anticipated revenues plus any accumulated Johnson said. "'He either did not read the Charter or else has little regard for its provisions if he sees an opportunity to play politics." Roos has called for county department heads to revise their budget requests in order to economize wherever possible. He has said he will attempt to balance the current operating budget without a tax increase. Any increase would be a "last resort move if everything else fails," he said.

DRUG CALLED PROMISING IN LIVER ABNORMALITIES A newly discovered drug shows promise in the treatment of congenital liver and intestinal abnormalities appearing in babies, a University, of Minesota pediatrician here last night. Dr. William Krivit, pediatric hematologist at the university, told members of the St. Louis Pediatric Society that a new resin, cholestyramine, has been used to treat liver abnormalities that often lead to jaundice and cirrhosis of the liver.

He said that the congenital abnormality is rare, and would occur in only about 25 babies a year born in a city the size of St. Louis.
