Scores of pickets marched through the Loop in silent procession Friday in protest over the fatal beating of the Reverend James Reeb in Selma, Alabama. They were led by six men bearing a gray mock coffin, which was labeled with a sign: "God-- go South." Demonstrators carried other cardboard signs. By the time the demonstrators reached the Federal Building, the procession had grown to nearly 90 people, about half Negro and half white.
