ton, In the, light Of the fact
that Arkansas has been one Of
the most progressive Southern
States in trying to solve the
problem it is ironic and un-
pleasant that it should become
the focal point Of this contest"
Although the other Cover
nors have been cautious about
getting involved In the Little
Rock controversy, since Gov.
Faubus arrived Sunday they
presented q united front in de-
ploring any use Of Federal
troops to enforce the school
integration decision.

whatever force may be neceS-
sary-to prevent any obstruc-
ton Of the law and to carry
out the orders of the Federal
Court" shocked this conference
Of Southern Governors into the
general Interpretation the
President was threatening the
use Of Federal troops to en-
force desegregation.
The immediate reaction from
Republican as well as Demo-
cratic Governors was against
an assumption Of presidential
authority paralleling Presi-
dent Grover Cleyeland's use
Of Federal troops to break the
Pullman strike in the past
century,
Gov. Raymond Gary Of Okla
homa, who has sponsored the
school Indignation cause at this
conference. said that regardless
Of how any Governor personally
felt about the mixing Of the

Protests Federal Threat

President intends to use Fed
eral troops In the South. Gov.
Griffin recalled that in the con-
gressional passage of the civil
rights bill the so-called force"
laws of 1870 had been repealed.
These permitted the use Of
Federal troops to enforce
United States court orders.
President Eisenhower has
said so many times he would
not use Federal troops to en-
force integration orders ! hesi-
tate to think that he now would
do So" Gov. Griffin said. II
have also heard him call for
patience in this situation.
1T is time for the President
to utilize some patience and
understanding. It is time for
him to stop and think. A ma
jority Of the people in the
South are unalterably opposed
to integration. The decision Of
the Supreme Court on this
question is not the will Of the
Congress or the people of the
United States"
Gov. Frank Clement Of Ten
nessee came out Of the mo
comment" shell he has MAIN
tanned generally on the inte-
grafton question to offer this
comment:
Il sincerely hope we will
never see the day, regardless
of the issue, when Federal
troops march against the law
abiding citizens Of any State. +"
Would Be Grave Mistake
Gov. Leroy Collins Of Florida
said he refused to believe that
Mr.. Eisenhower would use ma
tional troops to enforce inte-
grafton.
IF he does" Gov. Collins
said, that would be a grave
and grievous mistake"
The Little Rock situation
was uppermost in the minds
of the Governors as they
met privately in the hotel cor
ridors. although the conference
itself was still proceeding as
though the migration problem
did not exist.
Gov. Faubus was given a
somewhat noisier demonstra-
ton than his colleagues when
each Of them was introduced at
the State dinner last night. In
presenting the controversial
Arkansas Governor to the as
sembled guests. Gov. Griffin re-
marked. Il like the way this
man talks and acts"
This was the signal for the
audience. including many Geor-
igians. to give him q rousing
welcome.
Gov. Gary listed the improve
ment Of racial relations in the
South as a necessary step in
developing the industrial poten-
tial Of the area.
Gov. Gary for. the second
time in two days bluntly sug-
gested that the South face up
to the civil rights problem.
At the opening session yes
terday he was the only Cover
nor who injected the problem
of indignation into a discussion
of how to make more effective
use Of school facilities.
Must Meet Challenge
On the question OF attract
ing industry to the South. Gov.
Gary said the area has a
great potential in raw mate
rails, labor and water trans
portation." But he added that
one Of the greatest obstacles
to be overcome is the problem
of resolving our racial prob
lens"
I'VE are going to have to
meet the challenge head on. "
he continued, land chart a
course to convince the Nation
that the South is not discrim-
mating against anyone because
of the color Of his skin"
Gov. McKeldin told q re-
porter he agrees that better
race relations is a factor in
achieving that goal.

Mrs. Bates said she was "grat-
