II Some One Knows

Human nature being what it is,
even a promise to God is more
likely to be kept if we know some
one else knows about it. Hannah's
VOW was known to Eli the priest
eventually. and we may guess
that he suspected it from the
start. No doubt this Eelped her
to be faithful. So marriage vows
are spoken not alone in Gods
presence but in the company Of
witnesses. So VOWS taken at join
ing the church, or confirmation,
are taken in front of the whole
congregation This is why baptism,
of d child or an adult, should never
be private. If we were angels. a
promise made to God in secret
would be just as well kept as one
made in public But since we are
human, and weak in faith, il helps
if some ear besides God hears
our vows.

cially the church,; or a promise
solemnly made in God S presence,

a vow. AS the Bible teaches, no.
BODY has to make a vow; but once

amples of vows are those made

g. and Changeth Not"
He that sweareth to his own
hurt. and changeth not" comes
in for special praise, in the 18th
Psalm. The story of Hannah tells
of Just such a person She prom
ised her first child to God, In her
DAYS and circumstances, this
meant giving the child up and
seldom seeing him again after the
first few years. She had been Bit
ter about her childlessness, and Of
course was overjoyed when little
Samuel was born Giving him up
meant being childless all over
again-but she kept her promise.
She had five other children later,
but she did not expect this when
she presented her one son, her
frst-born. in the temple. It's easy
to make promises. even easy to
keep them when keeping them is
pleasant. But your really devoted
Christians, solid TO the core, are
those who keep their promises to
Cod no matter what.

would not be used. and if this

trail High where Negroes now
seek to enroll with white stu

I am not in this fight either
as a segregationist or an inte-
grationist. My only child, a
son, is now attending classes
in a State-supported integrated
college. This is more than can
be said by many of the high of :
flcials of the national admin
istration, who are responsible
for the military occupation OF
Arkansas.
This situation arose when
exercised my constitutional
powers and discretion as Gov
ernor to preserve the peace ano
good order of this community
Asked for More Time
Basically, the story I laic
before the President at the
Newport conference, was this
story Of progress and good race
relations in Arkansas. Since
Little Rock had become the
focal point of contest between
contending forces which have
very strong feelings on the
matter, my plea was for time
only a little time if it could be
given-in order that l, as Gov
ernor, and the people of the
area could have an opportunity
to work out the problem in q
peaceful manner.
The tragedy of the whole
situation is that the imported
judge. by exercising a little
patience and understanding, OF
by the taking of testimony to
gain the facts, could have
averted the whole situation.
The Federal Government has
made a grave and grievous
error, in the federalizing of the
Guard and the use of Federal
troops. The troops are even
inside the school building ac-
companying the Negro students
from class to class. This con-
stitutes a serious danger. The
impetuous or thoughtless act
OF a white student could result
in his penetration by bayonet,
just as has occurred outside the
building.
BY the use of Federal troops
rights just as precious. if not
more so, than indignation have
been trampled into the dust
under the boots of the para
troopers. or cut to pieces By
their shining, unsheathed bay
onets.
J Aside from this, another
great harm has been done. The
hand of fellowship heretofore
extended everywhere in Arkan.
has been largely withdrawn
Neither Negro nor white nov
knows whether the hand viii
be friendly or unfriendly. Thi'
is a grievous setback to thu
cause Of progress. justice anC
Christian charity. but never,
theleSs it is true.
Must Submit to Army
While we are thus an occu.
pied area-Gen. Walker say
his area Of jurisdiction has M
perimeter-we must endure a.
best we can. Remember that al

way to military power, wheI

CARELESS of the consequences?
If the answer to these ques.
tons are in the affirmative
then the basic principles of de-
mocracy are destroyed. and we
no longer have a union OF
States under a Republican form
of Government.
If this be true-then the
States are mere subdivisions OF
an all-powerful Federal Gov
eminent, these subdivisions be-
ing nothing more than districts
for the operation of Federal
agents and Federal military
forces-forces which operate
without any regard for the
rights of a sovereign State. OF
its elected officials, and with
out due regard to personal ano
property rights.
In addition to the Federal
military forces. we have in Ar

Blames 3 in State
During periods of military
occupation by areas of outside
forces, there can always be
found those who. for one rea-
son or another, take sides with
the outside forces.
OF the mere handful Of such
individuals here, l would like
to mention three.

our peaceful pursuits Of life
being good citizens as the over
whelming majority Of our peo-
pie have always been.
I have been working and
fighting for the right of my
people to solve their problems
peacefully. This as we know
requires time and patience.
I shall continue releritlessly
on this course. The Constitu-
ton, the traditions of our
Republic and the will Of the
people uphold me in this course,
Our cause is just and will
ultimately prevail.
I am subject to the will Of
my people, within the frame
work of the Constitution and
Federal Laws. We are not now
enjoying those rights. but the
inherent decency and good
judgment of the people Of
America will eventually restore
those rights to us. For if we
are permanently deprived of
those rights-then the people
of other States will likewise be
SO deprived.
Today the. excuse for use Of
Federal troops is said to be
indignation. Tomorrow, in any
State, the excuse could be a
labor dispute, or any number
of other things.
The Supreme Court ruled
that the President could not
take over the steel industry, but
they have taken over our
schools in Little Rock.
Urges Calmness
To the people of my State. I
now ask again for calmness
and a law abiding approach to
all our problems.
The Federal authorities, in
Guiding Federal troops are in
control. They are handling the
situation, and there is nothing
we can do about it.
I appreciate the upwards of

On Tuesday, September "a,
while / was still absent from
the State attending the South
ern Governors Conference at
Sea Island. Ga, the cleverly
conceived plans of the Justice
Department under Herbert
Brownell for the military occu-
patton of Arkansas were placed
in execution. One thousand
two hundred troops of the 101st
Airborne Division were flown
into the Jacksonville Air Base
by air transport from Fort
Campbell. KY. Immediately
thereafter, these troops occu-
pied in force the grounds of
Central High School.
At the same time, the entire
Arkansas National Guard and
Air Guard were federalized, and
are now a part of the United
States Army and the United
States Air Force.
We are now an occupied ter
ritory. Evidence of the naked
force of the Federal Govern
ment is here apparent in these
unsheathed bayonets in the
backs of school girls-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
rifle. in the hands of a sergeant
of the United States 101st Air
borne Division. This man. on
private property, as a guest in
a home two blocks from the
school, has been hospitalized.
Others have suffered bay
onet wounds from the hands
of United States Army soldiers
Up until the time the injunc-
ton was issued against me by
the imported Federal judge, the
peace had been kept in Little
Rock by as few as 80 National
Guardsmen. Not a blow was
struck, no injury inflicted on
any person. and no property
damage sustained. Neither was
it necessary to make wholesale
arrests of Arkansas citizens. Nc
bayonets were used and the
weapons of GuardSmen were
never loaded.
This is quite a contrast to
the present situation - when
some 10000 United States Army
troops are on duty, modified
or standing ready for use. 1t is
in stark contrast also as to the
use of Sharpened, naked bay
onetS on school girls and Other
Arkansas citizens, the bludg.
coming Of others with rife butts
and the wholesale arrests made
by these United States military
forces.
I wish also to point out that
no violence broke out in the
city until after the Injunction
was issued by the imported
federal judge. and the Guard
1rces were withdrawn.

An Injunction was issued by
State court, presided over by
