-JONESBORO, Ark, Oct. 16-The militia has come and gone after quieting warning factions of the First Baptist church here, but the Rev. Joe Jeffers, militant evange- list, stays on and continues his eff forts to oust the regular pastor.
 And Jeffers says he intends to keep right on with his campaign.
 Since he admits it looks as though it may take some time to bring about the dismissal of the Rev. D. H. Heard. Jeffers now is concerned about a place in which to accommodate crowds of 5000 to 5000 that have attended his meetings in tent tabernacle in the last month.
 Jeffers from his pulpit charged Dr. Heard with misconduct while pastor at Big Springs, Tex, and some of Jeffers' followers tried to bring the charges before a busi- ness meeting of the church. re- -sulting in fight in which three were arrested.
 While at the head of a crowd he assembled at the city hall to pro- test his followers arrest, Jeffers invoked God to strike the mayor dead"

 They were the subject of his graduate work at Columbia Univer- sity. He taught them at the Uni versity of Virginia. However, all his work has not been confined entire ly to academic treatment of soci- ology.
 His practical work has included the positions of secretary to the Virginia board of charities and cor rections, director of public welfare !n Knoxville, Tennessee. For the last six years he has been the Vir- sinia commissioner of public well fare.

Meanwhile someone knocked the mayor, H. J. Bosler, to the ground and the city and county authori- ties found they could not cope with the evangelist's disciples.
 Then came the call for national guardsmen. who shouldered rifles with fixed bayonets and planted machine guns about the tabernacle. Jeffers, however, continued his at tacks on Heard.
 The guardsmen gave up and left.
 Among the charges he heaped or Dr. Heard was one that The is too dignified," and as such, has failed to take the sharp two-edged sword of Gods word to smite the evil forces present in Jonesboro."
 Jeffers said he does not like "pussyfooting," explaining that he patterned his evangelistic style on that used by Jesus, the greatest he-man of all time"
 Jeffers' evangelistic co-workers are his wife and his two children. Joe, Jr., 5, and Jessie Jeanne, 2.
 Always near the preacher is Ro- mes Hebert, former pugilist. Jeff fers, however, denies reports that Romeo is bedyguard.
