Racial Talks
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) WASHINGTON, July 23. A nine-hours meeting between negro integration leaders and Maryland State officials last night made “considerable progress” in solving racial issues in Cambridge, Maryland. The Justice Department “trouble shooter,” Mr B. Marshall, said the talks were the “most encouraging step so ter” in the campaign to ease racial tension in Cambridge. He would not say if the differences between the races in Cambridge would be over in a few days. The sessions at the Justice Department all apparently decide whether there will be further demonstrations in Cambridge. Demonstrations are now forbidden by the Militia Law which bayonet-carrying National Guard troops are enforcing in the community. Demonstrations in the past have led to violence, including racial rioting the night of July 11 in which six white persons were wounded. The talks will continue today. •
