ing.
In another move the Army
authorities began issuing iden-
tification badges to newsmen
who have been thronging the
scene. They said this was De-
ing done to avoid any POSSIBLE
ity that reporters would be
stopped or showed around in
the event disorders should &C.
cur again at the school.
Smoke Machines Ready
An Army spokesman also dis
closed that a smoke generating
machine had been brought in
for use. if needed. Asked what
a smoke generating machine
was. he said:
That's the same as tear
gas"
Gov. Faubus delivered his
Nationwide broadcast from a
downtown studio and illustrated
his opening remark with pho
tographs taken at the school
showing Federal troops on
Wednesday dispensing groups
Of people. including students.
as they loitered near the scene.
We are now an occupied
territory" the Governor said.
Evidence Of the naked force
of the Federal Government is
here apparent in these un-
sheathed bayonetS in the backs
of schoolgirls. In the backs of
these students. in the bloody
face Of this railroad worker
who was bayoneted and then
felled by the butt of a rife
I in the hands of a sergeant Of
the United States 101St Air
borne Division. :. Others have
suffered nayonet wounds from
the hands of United States
Army soldiers"
The Governor was referring
to one man who was knocked
down when he was slow in
moving back at the orders of
the troops.
The Governor said the situa-
ton was in sharp contrast to
the peace that had been main
tanned by National Guards
men he called out three weeks
ago.
FBI Activities Hit
The Governor also said that
literally swarms of FBI
agents" and other Federal in
telligence officials have been
operating in the city. He
charged that "teen-age girls
have been taken by the FBI
and held incommunicado for
hours of questioning while their
frantic parents knew nothing
Of their whereabouts.
1t is generally known here
in Little Rock that a large
numbe of FBI agents and
agents of the Army's Coun-
ter Intelligence Corps have
been busily engaged inves-
tigating last Mondays riot
at the school in efforts to I'M
cover individuals who may have
inspired the mob.
( The agents have been inter-
viewing many of the persons
who were present at the time
and witnessed the violence that
occurred.
McMath ASSailS Speech
Mr.. McMath said that the
Governor had attacked the
President. the Supreme Court,
the Army and the Federal Dis
trict Court and some of his
friends who disagreed with him
on the emotional issue Of in
tegration Ito further his quest
for political power"
He said the Governors talk
was filled with half-truths"
and that some Of the photo
graphs he exhibited had been
"doctored." He charged that
the picture Of girl students
moved along at the point of a
bayonet had been posed"
Whatever the Governors
speech amounted to in the emo
tional situation prevailing here
one thing appeared to be GER
tain:
A wide number Of people in
Arkansas. in every walk Of life
shared the Governors feeling
about the presence Of troops
at the school and the shock
OF seeing in their newspapers
the pictures Of an individual
being dubbed and others being
moved along at the point of
bayonets.
This feeling was expressed
by numerous people after lis
tening to the Governors speech
as the same feeleing had been
expressed earlier.
Example Of Feeling
One example Of the feeling
came from a mother from a
small community named Kras-
wood, near Benton, Ark. who
turned UP yesterday at the
school
