400 Poor Arrive In Boston Today

Local clergymen have provided funds to pay for dinner for the expected 400 members of the Poor People's March staying at Harvard and Radcliffe tonight.

The marchers will arrive at Christ Church at Garden Street at 5 p.m. today following a 3 p.m. rally on the Boston Common. Their student hosts are being asked to meet them at the Church.

Members of the Southern Christian Leandership Conference have asked the marchers to urge their hosts to join them in Washington, D.C., in June and engage in "non-violent direct action."

Although dinner will be paid for, the hosts are being asked to treat the marchers to breakfast Friday morning.
