In his testimony. Shefferman

business and labor executives for

our opinion =
Only Short While Ago.. ;.

What a difference time can make! Only a short while
ago, Little Rock was a thriving city, peaceful and quiet,
with everybody seemingly happy. Everybody, did we say?
Yes, everybody, but a small minority, who represented a
group that called itself "pro-segregationists' against
progress.
But, even with that group, Little Rock was progress
ing and was recognized as one of the most enlightened and
progressive cities below the imaginary Mason and Dixon
line. 1t was not until the pro-segregationist group adopted
as its leader. Arkansas chief executive, that the city began
to 'boutface.
Despite the inflamatory utterances of the adopted head
of the bias group for several weeks, the Arkansas metro"
polls maintained its equilibrium, and tranquility was In
evidence. Everybody was accustomed to diatribes emanat-
ing from Capitol Hill, therefore there was never any cause
for alarm.
But, on the mite following the day of rest from a year
of labor, Arkansas and the nation listened with interest to
the leader of the prosegregationists as he praised the pro-
gress Arkansas had made in the field of race relations, and
how he placed it far beyond that OF nelghborlng states
Cbeing careful to not accept any credit for it, And then
let loose a bombardment of epithets, that quickly rpened
into realities. that not only shocked the entire nation but
disgraced Arkansas beyond redemption.
The leader made it known that he had no regard for
the constitution, that he shouldered a gun tc protect, nor
his oath that he took to uphold.
That law of the land was defed in Little Rock, and
the United States constitution was flouted, and Arkansas
was d~isgraced. The people of Little Rock have become
happy in few circles, ashamed in some circles. afraid in
many circles, confused in more circles and angry in others,
Those who are happy can be very easily distinguish
ed from the others, because they are advocators of de-
fiance. Those who are angry are well known because they
are Negroes, They are angry, but not to the extent OF Vo-
lence. Violence is lawleSsness, and the Negro is law abiding.
He is angry because the things that he jeopardized
his life to protect and that he holds sacred are being des-
troyed by what he at one time thought were fellow Ameri-
cans.
He is angry because he is watching his children being
spat at, pushed, knocked down, "cussed', and made victims
of all kinds of insults and abuses at the hands of those
whom he thought again, were fellow Americans.
He is angry because his children have to be escorted
to classes for an education, by armed guards, protecting
them from fellow Americans-an education that is freely
and gladly given to children Of one time enemies of this
country.
The Negro Is mad because those who are ashamed,
confused, and afraid. don't have the courage to stand up
to their conviction and tell the few who are happy where
they and their leader are taking the name Of our once
fair city.
The Negro is angry, because the confidence that he
once had in Little Rock in keeping law and order, Is ques-
tionable as the 101st federal paratroopers leave the city.

Many Afraid TO

NORFOLK, Va.-A Norfolk white
woman expressed the view that
"a great many people favor inte-
grafton in the white race but
are afraid of outside pressure in
their daily lives, open strife in the
church, and the loss of friendship
and prestige" if they let it be
known publicly that they favor
indignation.
The woman identified herself
as Mrs. Shirley S. Neabit, She
expressed distress in a letter TO

carried her letter under the cap

local officers.
Governor Faubu1 had called out
Arkansas National Guards to pre-
vent enforcement of a federal
court approved indignation order,
admitting Negroes to the once all
white Central hi school. After
several restraining orders against
interference with school integra-
ton, Faubus withdrew the statss
guards, but never withdrew his
order against indignation, which
gave encouragement to staunch
pro-segregationiats to act freely
with whatever means necessary
TO prevent the children from en-
tering the school.
Of the 10,800-odd men called
into federal service during the
height Of the Indignation crisis,
only about 900 remain in service.
From this group guards will be
selected to take over duties in
guarding the Negroes at the
school.
For several weeks the Negro
children have been coming and
going from the school without
the protection of the guards.
The reaction of what will hap
pen as the l01ut is pulled out is
a matter of speculation, with
hope that the ~federaiized guards
will carry out the orders Of the
president to protect the children.

The Naacp head, and leader of

Romans, that the Negroes patience
has just about run out. She said
the decision to take the nine Me-
gro children thru a Little Rock
mob to enter school was made
after comforting with the par
entJ of the children. Mrs. Bates
said that despite threats Of bodi-
ly harm, lynchings, and water
pistols loaded with acid, the
decision waa made that one day
is just as good as another to de-
termine whether Little Rock pco-

enough to check any violence
