| in the enforcement Of the Federal injunctions

I on the strike situation. If the presence OF
troops is required, the military officers in

tonight that he would not acquiesce IN any call
| for outside assistance in preserving order. and
| intirnated that he would strongly oppose any
attempt to secure armed protection He takes

every possible resource before it can stand be-
fore the world and admit that peace and order
| cannot be preserved in the citys streets.
