A proof of the wisdom of this great bank’s judgment is
that on opening day on January 6th, 800 new accounts
were opened.

The Chase Manhattan said Mr. Rockefeller was encour-
aged to open this branch by the success in Harlem of the
Bowery Savings Bank. The front page story announcing
Chase Manhattan’s Harlem branch quoted Earl B.
Schwulst, president of the Bowery, as saying that residents
of the area had put $18,000,000 into Bowery savings ac-
counts within 5 years since its branch was opened,- and
that sales of money orders and numbers of Christmas sav-
ings accounts at the Harlem branch surpassed those at the
Bowery’s main office on 42nd Street.

U S. it is only 375 pounds.
The 75-year old Mr. Randolph,

|said, “This is truly magnificent.”!
I choked a little, too, as the
! Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., J
who at 34, has already gained his
place in the annals of American
history as “the ftioral leader of
our dation,” answered Mr. Ran
dolph, saying, “Yes, Phil, It is*
truly wonderful!”
They had just finished helping
23-year old John Lewis, pres
ident of the Student NonViolent
Coordinating Committee, rewrite
certain portions of his speech so
that it would not conflict with
the overall aims of the historic
demonstration, and to satisfy all
of the other March leaders.
One does not have to think long
when in the presence of these
two great men on this historic
day, to realize and feel the im-i
pact of their greatness.
His Greatest Day
| “Yea, Jimmy, j you can say; i
this is the greatest day of my
life, and I know this must be one
of the biggest gatherings in the
nation’s history. The presence of
the mass numbers of communic
ations media men from all over
the world has already helped to
make this a world success," Mr.
Randolph said in his finest or
atorical voice.
I knew the two wanted to talk
over a few points and I ex
cused myself, moving over to
I'say hello to Roy Wilkins, the
pNAACP's crusading leader.
“How do you feel about all
this?” I asked.
