The South Korean Red Cross
announced Monday that it had

Communists said they went

Whether to Coll Scientist in Inquiry
On Missile Situation to Be Studied

The Senate Preparedness
subcommittee hearings on the
missile situation start next
Monday, and one Of the first
questions its members will
be called upon to resolve is
whether or not to call
scientist y. Robert Open

Several key Democrats al

the admitted genius of Mr..
Oppenheimer be returned to

pointed out that only his
discretion and not his loyalty
was questioned by the Gray

After its report, the Eisen-

DAVID LAWRENCE
Legal Problem at Little Rock

expressly authorized by the
Constitution or BY act Of
Congress"
Justice jackson emphasized
the word expressly" and
then in a footnote he cited
for his authority the Posse
Comitatus Act" originally
passed in 1873. It was re-
enacted by Congress in the
new edition Of the United
States Code in August. 1856.
This act specifically forbids
the use Of Federal troops to
act as a posse comitatus"-
that is, as emergency police
men in domestic disturbances
or as sheriffs for the courts
except when Congress shall
authorize such use to enforce
acts of Congress.
How, then: can the legal
problem at Little Rock now
be resolvedP There is a way.
1t is for the Federal Govern
ment to notify the local
authorities. both State and
city, that on a certain date
all troops will be withdrawn.
and to make an appeal to
the citizens to maintain or
der. The United States mar
shall can deputize 1000 or
more citizens, if necessary.
to aid in enforcing the dis
trict courts order, which at
present specifically forbids
interference with the entry
of any enrolled pupils to the
school. For there are laws
which empower the marshal
to organize a "sheriff's posse"
to enforce court orders. This
is what might have been done
on September 20 last.
There must be today at
least 1000 citizens in Little
Rock who would be willing
to serve in the United States
marshal's posse" to enforce
a court decree. If there are
insufficient persons willing to
serve. 1t could mean that the
populace believes the court
order itself is unlawful. If,
however, judicial process"
breaks down altogether and
armed resistance by q mob
ensues, the issue then be-
comes one of dealing with a
state Of insurrection," in
which case Federal troops
can be used, but only after a
proper proclamation by the
President. There was no such
language in the proclamation
last September.
