"I knocked him down," he said. "When I turned around, I saw police coming from everywhere. They said 'Behind you.' The po- lice were coming from where the shot came." Branch, another member of the King party, said, "The bullet ex- ploded in his face. It knocked him off his feet." Solomon Jones, King's chauf- feur, said he saw a "man in white clothes" running from the scene. King was in Memphis as a wayside stop before his big dem- onstration in Washington sched- uled in a few weeks. The Washington effort-a huge camp-in at the capital to demand jobs or income-had taken most of his time since January. King returned to Memphis Wednesday to lead another mas- sive protest march next Monday in support of the garbage strikers. Sympathizers from other parts of the country had announced they would join, and as many as 10.000 or more were expected for the march. A similar demonstration March 28 of about 6,000 erupted into the first violence in Memphis since the beginning of the civil rights movement. Police and march leaders, alike, blamed the out- burst on Negro youths on the fringe of the march. One 17-year-old Negro youth was killed in the violence after the march, and his funeral Tues- day was attended by several thousand mourners. Violence erupted again shortly after King was shot. Police re- ported snipers firing on police and national guard units and sev- eral persons were reported hit by the shots. Several firebombings and other acts of vandalism also were re- ported. Police director Frank Holloman ordered a curfew back into effect i i National guard units, which had Hollon been deactivated only Wednesday tion imdi after five days on duty here, were called back to active duty and white m rushed to Memphis.

Hum- phrey said the slaying "brings shame to our country. An apostle of nonviolence has been the victim of violence." The vice president however, said Dr. King's death will bring new strength to the cause he fought for. Mrs. Rosa Parks, one of the earliest prominent figures in the modern civil rights movement, wept at her Detroit home: "I can't talk now, I just can't talk." "Martin is dead," said James Farmer, former national director of the Congress of Racial Equality. "God help us all. "We kill our conscience, we cut open our soul. I can't say what is in my heart-anger, fear, love for him and sorrow for his family and the family of black people." James Meredith, who was shot in June, 1966, during a voter reg- istration march in Mississippi, said, "This is America's answer to the peaceful, nonviolent way of obtaining rights in this country." Roy Wilkins, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, said the NAACP is "shocked and deeply grieved by the das- tardly murder of Dr. Martin Luther King . . . It will not stay the civil rights movement; it will instead spur it to greater activity." Floyd McKissick, national di- rector of CORE, said that with Dr. King's death, nonviolence "is now a dead philosophy. "This is racism in the most ex- treme form,. it is truly American racism," McKissick said. "We make no predictions, but mark my word, black Americans of all sorts and beliefs loved Martin Luther King." Mississippi Negro leader Charles Evers said in Jackson he had been threatened by a telephone caller after Dr. King was shot. Evers said the first telephone call he received after King was shot was from a man who said, "We just killed that black S.O.B. Martin Luther King and you're next." Evers called an immediate "ur- gent mass meeting" at the Ma- sonic Temple where he had met with King 15 days earlier. Evers was 'at home here when he received word King had died. As he heard the news, he said only. "He'srdead, he's dead, he's dead." In a statement later, Evers said, "I think America has lost one of the greatest champions for non- violent peaceful demonstrations that she's had . . . I don't know where we turn to from here. I personally cannot and will not be responsible for what Negroes will do in the future. "I feel that America is not going to wait until summer. I believe it's begun already-unless they move and move quickly to apprehend and convict the murderers, Amer- ica's through. p 'S ON SALE APRIL 9 & 10 DIAG & FISHBOWL this is an ad MWC Enjoy Yourself - Join The Michigan Daily Today! if you want to sell ads .. . if you can design ads ... if you want to be in on homecoming, labor day weekend, soph show, musket, creative arts festival and michigras all at once get yourself on the list in the uac offices in the 2nd floor union now while you're thinking of it. positions are available for those who are interested in being a billing chairman, a secretary, and national and local advertising chairmen. if planning on summer SUMMER SUB-LETS CHARTER REALTY is offering the finest summer accommoda- tions to be found on campus.
