March. 31--RUNS FROM SMOKE BOMB--A Negro girl screams for help just after Camden city officials used smoke bombs to disperse a group of civil rights marches at the city limits.

The Negroes marched to protest at a local Negro high school which the principal would not permit his students to take part in civil rights demonstrations.
