Capital takes march 'with a grain of salt'

Congressional aides charge
FBI with bus liarrassment

By RICK PERLOFF
Special To The Daily
WASHINGTON - For the
past two days this city has seen
tides of ruffled students roam-
ing its streets, leafletting its in-
tersections a n d continually
marching, thumbing and honk-
ing a message of peace.
Washington watches these
antiwar protesters, many with a
smile of respect, others with a
shake of disgust. But most can-
not help but pay attention to
the dedication,athe signs, the
dress and the culture.
This city has long been con-
ditioned to protests so it takes
them with a grain of salt. "Just
another demonstration to me,"
say the men with the dark over-
coats on Pennsylvania Ave. But
even these men 1 o o k at the
White House March Against
Death procession and grudging-
ly admit that "the kids are sin-
cere."
"They remind me of Peter the
Hermit's crusade in the Middle
Ages," said one man.

He contrasted the students'
roughed up jean attire to the
ordinary dress wear of the busi-
nessmen. They are different cul-
tures - he seemed to realize -
the older had its views formed
and the younger was crusading
for change.
He did not s e e m to think
much of the marchers effect on
government policy; it was to
him a new fashioned drive to
replace the traditional through
parading in the streets. T h e
march was, he realized, worthy
of pause - and even some con-
sideration - but he could only
smile and continue his walk up
Pennsylvania Ave.
Three men walking together
glanced at the marchers and one
of them asked his friends wheth-
er he wanted a scorecard. "You
can't tell the players without a
scorecard," he jeered. A game
card characterizes the protest to
some Washingtonians; the dem"-
onstrators give their views and
the citizens watch and t u r n

their heads briefly before the
return to business.
But these men are part of the
larger number of citizens here
who support the President and
view the march as just another
student protest they are used to
in political Washington.
Though they admit it is an
out - of - the - ordinary and at
times impressive show of force,
they strongly - and irrevocably
- are committed to disapproval
of the antiwar views.
These people, especially, ex-
press fear of violence. The first
thing many say when asked to
describe the march is - "At
least it's peaceful." Little is said
of its positive or negative ele-
ments, as long as it is orderly
few can care what happens.
"I'm one of the silent major-
ity," said one man. He charar.-
terized the demonstration as
definitely impressive but wants
the protesters to realize there is
another side to the issue. He,
like others, would watch t h e

demonstration a n d perhaps
think about it, but he would not
change his views.
A second group feels entirely
differently. Generally younger
than the middle-aged group,
these Washingtonians feel the
protest is unique and special to
the city. They recognize there
have been protests here before
but believe this one is m o r e
"sacred."
The two groups are strange
streetfellows. They bothtagree
the march is impressive, both
pay attention to it yet b o t h
come away with different views.
This was manifest at a coun-
ter rally sponsored by a group of
secretaries and businessmen in
Farragut Square downtown yes-
terday. Their leaflets call for
'peace with honor' and say the
situation is complex but t h e
basic issue in Vietnam is rice."
Crowds surrounded groups of
youths arguing with the busi-
nessmen. One former newspaper

man shook his head discourag-
ingly. He respected the students'
sincerity and understood their
views. He only wished "ninety-
eight per cent would realize they
are being sucked in by radicals.'
The middle aged people in the
square were aching, it seemed,
to give their reactions to what
one elderly gentleman said are
the v i e w s of the "arrogant"
young people. The typical dis-
cussions on Vietnam ensued;
the domino theory, respect for
the President's level of informa-
tion a n d pleas of the conse-
quences of withdrawal. Then
the businessmen marched with
signs like "Khruschev said we
will bury you," and "Vietnam
will be the first shovel full."
T h e students returned to
"peace now" signs, buttons, and
the parade.
They both had argued, watch-
ed and shaken their heads.
They had, it was true, commun-
icated their views to the other.
But neither was ready to listen.

"Nothing will happen at the
March Against Death or the
mass march." But some conced-
ed there could be trouble at
some of the secondary demon-
strations such as the various
marches on the Justice Departs
ment.
"People were "glad for the in-
structions to keep the demon-
stration peaceful." Some seem-
ed to want reassurance t h a t
everything would be alright.
But the inklings of doubt
which many expressed about the
possibility of violence were di-
rected at the Government, not
at other demonstrators. "The
administration is talking about
violence, not us," said one
sophomore girl.
People agreed, as well, t h a t
many in their number were new
to mass political action.
They were people who, as
one marcher suggested,
"wouldn't have gone to Wash-
ington two years ago" for the
last massive peace demonstra-
tion. And many of the marchers
seemed, beyond being new to
mass politics, to be relatively
abstracted from politics in gen-
eral.
"They are a political people,"
said a veteran of the 1967
March on Washington. It
wasn't The thing to do they. I
guess it is now." she asserted.
Left unspoken were the real
reasons for journeying the long
night for a n uncomfortable
weekend. No one talked about the
war or the policies of the ad-
ministration.
It was the silent agreement
of people who are already com-
mitted to action. They didn't
have to be convinced and they
didn't have to convince anyone
around them. For a long time
before they boarded the bus
their going to Washington was
more commonlplace than usual.
The march on Washington is
part of the fabric of their
thought rather than something
to be explained.

men and more were planned for
the future. During these confer-
ences Esch said he would bring up
the groups attitude and concern.
Discussion then shifted to local
Ann Arbor topics. The arrest and
conviction of White Panther lead-
er John Sinclair on drug charges
raised concern among the group
on "selective use of drug laws to
effectively shut up dissident lead-
ers."
"If a law exists that law must
be enforced uniformly," Esch said.
"I have not passed judgment on
whether or not selective arrests
are being made, and I cannot ac-{
cept the premise that it is being
used for 'political reasons'. "
In conjunction with political ar-
rests, some constituents expressed
concern over the possibility of us-
ing the existing detention cams

World War II .to confine "dan-

Esch said he had helped spon-'

added that it is presently being
revised and is "very likely to be
repealed."
