(AR) - The army of poor people Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. plans to lead into Washington next month will follow congressmen to the na- tional conventions in August if no action is taken before then, a top King associate said yesterday. The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy told a crowd of 400 chanting, cheering Negroes here the "Poor People's Campaign" would not tolerate adjournment before con- gressmen "address themselves to the demands we make." Abernathy pledged that the demonstration would be non- violent. "We're not going to have a riot," he said. "The government knows how to deal with that. They don't know how to deal with a non-violent campaign. We are going to tie up the whole city of Washington through civil diso- bedience." King plans to build a slowly intensifying confrontation be- tween the federal government and a minimum of 3,000 poor people. Tactics mainly will be the sit-ins and marches of his southern cam- paigns. They will be put into play over a period of weeks, not all at once. Plans are flexible enough, or- World News Roundup By The Associated Press NEW YORK -- The nation's largest port remained tied up for the fourth straight day yesterday, as 22,000 striking longshoremen defied a court's back-to-work or- der. An estimated 70 ships remained " stranded in the harbor, at a cost estimated by shipping circles at $1.5 million a day. Only five ves- sels loading military cargo were worked. President Thomas Gleason of the AFL-CIO International Long- shoremen's Association said he tried personally to persuade many of his workers to return to the piers, but that he failed. SAN FRANCISCO - An earth- quake jolted San Francisco yes- terday at about 1:50 p.m. There were no immediate re- ports of damage. The quake was felt in downtown San Francisco and as far away as 60 miles to the south in Santa Clara County. Oakland and Hayward in the East Bay area also felt it. The University of California seismograph recorded the shock but an intensity reading was not available immediately. LAGOS, Nigeria - Federal troops have captured the strategic Niger River market town of Onit- sha after nearly six months of bitter fighting, reliable sources reported today. Capture of Biafra's second largest city would open shorter supply routes to the South for federal troops fighting to put down the secession of former Eastern Nigeria, and give the cen- tral government virtual control of the western border of Biafra. LONDON - Algeria is supply- ing oil to rebel Rhodesia through a company partly owned by the French government, a report in the Sun said today. Harold Hutchinson, the pro- labor newspaper's political corre- spondent, said details of the leak in sanctions were given to a pri- vate meeting of Labor legislators Wednesday night by Common- wealth Secretary George Thom- son with Prime Minister Harold Wilson's backing. Thomson said oil for Rhodesia was sold by the Algerian govern- ment to the Total Oil Co., which is owned in part by France. ganizers believe, slowly to in- crease the pressure King hopes to put on the government - all summer if necessary. The pessimistic feelings ex- pressed by some organizers weeks ago no longer are evident inside the Southern Christian Leader- ship Conference headquarters here. Support from local organiza- tions has picked up sharply in the past two weeks, organizers said. The SCLC treasury, virtual- ly empty when King announced his program late in December, is getting an increasing flow of small donations, they said. Not Developed And a rumored conflict between King's people and militants who do not share their philosophy of nonviolence has not materialized so far. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee is giving no aid as an organization, one SCLC member said, but some members are helping. Well before the campaign's Ap- ril 22 starting date, work is ex- pected to start on a "New City of Hope" - tents or temporary buildings set up on a 30-acre site and supplied with electricity, sew- er lines, an outdoor theater, kitch- ens and parking. For "a day or two" the new ar- rivals "will set up the new city and get settled into it," an aide said. "Then we'll begin a massive lobbying campaign in Congress, visiting congressmen, laying out demands, telling them how it is." Three Days The organizers expect to con- tinue this for three or four days. Then, if congressional leaders still are not sympathetic, they will begin what King's people call acts of "moral obedience . . . remain- ing in the offices of the most ob- stinate congressmen and depart- ment heads." "Moral obedience" actions have not been decided on, the organiz- ers said, because people who will bear the consequences should have a say in what they are asked to do. BUY A SQUIRT FLOWER TODAY on Diag 15c NEW YORK (Ri - A survey of college newspapers across the na- tion shows that editorial endorse- ments in the Democratic presi- dential race are predominantly split between Sens. Robert F. Ken- nedy, (D-N.Y.), and Eugene J. Mc- Carthy, (D-Minn.). But the editorials are in agree- ment in urging the defeat of Pres- ident Johnson. Political observers are closely following student opinions in the election after youthful supporters of McCarthy in the New Hamp- shire primary were credited with an influential part in his strong showing there March 12. Editorial comments vary from calling Kennedy's entrance into the campaign a "malicious display of political opportunism"-Daily Illini, University of Illinois-to praising Kennedy as someone who can return the nationito the "ideals of the New Frontier"-The Spectrum, New York State Uni- versity at Buffalo. McCarthy was praised for break- ing "the somber barriers of apathy .. and giving hope to a Demo- cratic party which was rapidly be- coming a detached, atrophied I SAVE at STATE DRUGS State & Packard 25% REDUCTION ON ALL SUNTAN LOTIONS & CREAMS Offer Good Until Sunday, March 24 clique of party hacks"-The Daily Princetonian, Princeton Univer- sity. "We feel nothing but admiration for the courageous Minnesotan who gave so many students re- newed hope in a political process that seemed--and may well be- incapable of coping with the na- tion's crisis," said the Harvard Crimson. The Crimson gave its endorse- ment to Kennedy, a Harvard graduate, and urged McCarthy "to step aside in favor of Kennedy who offers the best hope of win- ning." In Wisconsin where McCarthy is now campaigning, three major college newspapers are ?support- ing the Minnesota Democrat in the primary. Editors of the news- papers say any switch to Kennedy would not come until after the April 2 primary. The Milwaukee Post at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin said Tuesday in an editorial endorsement of McCarthy for the primary: "As long as the President of the United States thinks he is Wyatt Earp, the first thing we must do is make him check his guns. Lyndon Johnson must go. I a '' .

POMEROY'S ORDERS ACCEPTED UNTIL final extravaganza "Within the Philamlife Hall last night all was cozy cheer as the some seventy-strong University of Michigan Glee Club poured song after song from a wide repertory mainly distinguished by its bright American character. "Of the college glee clubs that have come here-Harvard, Yale, Cornell-the boys from Ann Arbor, Michigan, appear most rep- resentatively American in their program and style. "The men from Michigan sing a style reflectively American- bright, positive, humorous, utilizing only a soupcon of sentiment --and above all, engaged precisely in the pursuit of excellence. Be it the traditional Latin hymns, baroque music, traditional ballads, concert chorales, popular medley, novelty numbers, Negro spirituals, or varsity songs-each comes off in all its com- ponent parts precise and polished to an excellent degree. "As long as romance lives and college boys pursue girls, the world remains young and croons itself to dream through popular songs in taste and character as refreshingly American as The Michigan Men's Glee Club."
