Government to maintain law and
order and described disorders in
the South in situations involving
civil rights as a challenge to Fed
eral authority.
Mr.. Olney, in the letter made
public today, said that the Federal
Government was fully aware of its
responsibilities.
This department will cause al
legations of Federal offenses to be
investigated, and will act vigor-
ously when such Investigations re-
veal the commission of Federal Of
fenses," he asserted.
Notwithstanding our deep aver
sion tC violent acts of the sort you
describe, the primary responsibility
for the maintenance of law and
order is lodged in state and local
authorities.
Limit On Power Cited
"The Federal Government has
no general police power and this
department can act only when Of
lenses transpire within the pur-
view of existing Federal statutory
provisions.
Mr.. Olney offered assurance of
"our serious concern" over the
situation. He urged the authors
of the telegram to make available
to the Federal authorities any spe-
cific information indicating inter
ference with civil rights protected
by the "Constitution and laws Of
the United States"
In the telegram to President
Eisenhower the Negro leaders
asked him. to "make major speech
in a major southern city urging
all southerners to abide by the Su-
preme Courts decisions as the law
of the land"
They asked also that he "use the
weight of your great office to
noint ont to the people of the
South the moral nature of the
problem faced at home and abroad
by the unsolved civil rights issues
and the violent racial disorder that
will rise again and again until
these issues are solved"
Mr.. Olney pointed out that the
President had addressed himself
to the topic in his State.
