Edward Steir. pharmacist. New York City: “If that is what they wanted to do, my answer is yes, they should have married. How- ever, like Mrs. Eleanor Roose­ velt once answered when asked her opinion on a similiar situa­ tion, she said; ‘If they had asked before doing it, I would say go ahead, but I would explain some of the problems which I think they may face.’ ’’ RENE TAYLOR JAKE JOHNSON Jake Johnson, 295 Convent Ave., cafe manager: “The marriage of Charlayne Hunter to Walter Stovall will not have any effect on the fight for civil rights. Their marriage was just two people who fell in love and decided to get married. Love knows no color, creed or religion and eventually it will topple segregation.” Baldasari Martin, 261 E. 200th St., Bronx: I don’t believe in mixed marriages.
