danger was less.
All the police in the city, however,
could not have shielded him from
the familiar barrage of eggs and
tomatoes which was maintained
steadily throughout his talk. AS a
relatively small target in so large a
space, the third party presidential
candidate actually suffered only two
direct hits. one by an egg and one
by tomato.
AS he has .done before at many
points in this Southern tour, Mr..
Wallace only shook his head and
shouted angrily: Il will not be in
Inundated"
Mr.. Wallace managed to make one
point above the chorus of boos and
cries Of "Go back to Moscow"
The American eagle has two
wings" he roared, "a left wing and
a right wing. If that eagle is going
to fly, it's got to have both of them.
That's what the Progressive Party
believes"
Couldn't Continue Speech.
At length the bowling of the
crowd and the jostling about Mr..
Wallace became too great for him
to continue.
"All I can do is give you the
chance to listen - He did not
finish the sentence. The police,
standing near him in the crowd,
drew him away from the micro
phone and forced path for him
across the packed sidewalk to his
car.
AS the mob pressed angrily around
the machine. the chauffeur managed
to get it started and under way.
Hurrying to catch a train to which
his special car is to be attached at
Ashevllle late this afternoon, the
Progressive Party leader agreed this
morning to eliminate several minor
stops which had been planned for
today. There was no indication
that the speedup move resulted from
unwillingness On his part to meet
this hostile populace He had been
warned that Charlotte was the most
likely trouble spot in today's itin-
erary.
But going may get rougher yet
for Mr.. Wallace as ne goes further
South.
BY late this afternoon, If the
schedule holds good, he will have
finished his automobile tour in
North Carolina and boarded spe-
cial train for Tennessee. Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and points
beyond.
Faces More Difficulties.
Though the train undoubtedly
will afford him more physical pro-
lection against the disapproval he
will encounter, there is every rea-
son TO believe that disapproval will
be even more extreme in the areas
into which Mr.. Wallace is moving

copy of Birmingham's ordinance re-
quiring separation of whites and
Negroes by wel-defined physical
barriers" Mr.. Wallace has de-
clared he will address only nom

The Auditorium Board at Little
Rock, Ark, where Mr.. Wallace is
scheduled Friday denied him the
use of its building on the same
issue.
But at jackson, Miss, Gov. Field
ing L. Wright promised an escort
of State police Thursday and said
Il don't think there will be any
discourtesy toward him."
In Burlington yesterday, hemmed
in by a mob which shouted him
down every time he ttied to open
his mouth, Mr.. Wallace suffered his
first total rout of the campaign.
Operating in q 6-foot circle kept
clear by the only four policemen
on the scene he turned from side to
side like baited bull. shaking his
finger under the noses of his tor

don't act this way in America"
Hit on Arm by Egg.
Only one missile thrown at the
Progressive Party chief actually hit

eggs and tomatoes came from the
rear ranks of the crowd. landing on
