Dr. Martin Luther King. Both times he has brought national embarrassment on Alabama. He tried defiance with Kennedy. It was an empty gesture. He couldn't win, and didn't. He tried defiance again with King who planned a march of 450 Negroes from Selma to Montgomery Sun- day as a civil rights demon- stration. The purpose, when they reached Montgomery, was to petition Wallace to re- move obstacles to the Negroes' right to vote in Alabama. Wallace's defiance result- ed in a disgraceful, brutal police action, with chasing and beating of Negroes. Yet, if Wallace ha¢ used a little shrewdness, the Sun- day march might have ac- complished little. King's non-violent expedi- tion was to have been a gesture to enlist national sympathy and attention for the Negro.

If he could get away with it, anyone could, and the result would be chaos. 'Respective SELMA, Ala. (AP)--A federal judge banned a massive right- to-vote march today by Ne- groes, accompanied by white clergymen, after a huge buildup of state troopers in this racial battleground. U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. at Montgomery, in a surprise move, ordered Ne- groes to refrain.from trying to march the 50 miles from Selma to Montgomery, the state cap- ital, Johnson, who had been re- quested to bar interference from state and local police, said the court should have "a rea- .|sonable opportunity to make a judicial determination as to the respective rights of the parties in this case." Shortly before his order came down, about 500 heavily-armed state troopers rolled into Selma where Negro marchers were dispersed Sunday by the troop- ers using clubs and tear gas.

The helmeted state troopers, travelling in more than 150 pa- trol cars, sped into the city o '30,000 from the etate capital where they assembled Monday night, under orders to stop the Negro march. While awaiting action by the Negroes, the troopers stood by at a National Guard armory on the western edge of Selma.

And this would 'have to be balanced "'by a mutual acceptance of this machinery and a readiness to co-operate in using it." Mr. Martin said the UN might be one possibility in this -re- gard ' 'Another might well be the sort of grouping of more di- rectly involved nations which were represented at Geneva in 1954 and 1962."
