The front page of this issue has a two line, two column headline "Peaceful March Spurs Negroes" which was reporting on this "Children's Crusade" which began on May 2nd. After over 1,400 arrests in the previous four days, this day (Sunday) was a day for singing, chanting and praying, with the only arrest being of a couple inside the church -- as no white people would be allowed in the church.
Also on the front page is a large photo of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun with an article "Found Hitler's Body in '45. Reds Say in War 'Secrets'". "The Russians found and identified Adolf Hitler's charred body in the burned ruins of the Fuehrer's Berlin bunker 18 years ago, author Cornelius Ryan says...The Russians disposed of the body, Ryan said, but he refused to say where or how. That he commented yesterday, 'I'm saving for my book.'..."
Additional articles, sports and advertisements of the day are within.
