! In the crisis that began to
build in Little Rock after the
night Of September 2. when
Gov. Faubus called out the
Guard, Mr.. Ashmore says his
role was strictly that of a re-
porter.
Last Monday night = after
the rioting at Central High
the phone rang in Mr.. Ash
more's Office. 1t was one Of the
top officers in the Department
Of Justice in Washington. What
was going on in Little Rock?
"Of course. they had reports
from their own people here, +"
Mr.. Ashmore says. but he was
just running a calculation on
the situation" He says he an
swered the question in these
words:
well. I'll tell you all we've
got left here on our side-a
lame duck Mayor (Woodrow
Wilson Mann. who is about to
go out of Office, an ex-Goy-
ernor (Sid McMath), and one
broken down editor (himself)

and the mob is in the streets.

All through that night, I'M
til after sunrise, the Gazette
building was about as fully
lighted as it could be. The man.
agement was frankly appre-
hensive of an attack.
Mr.. Ashmore says he has re-
ceiyed some threatening letters
and telephone calls, but not
as many as you would expect"
His stand on the issue, exec
utives at the Gazette say, has
not penalized the Gazette either
IN advertising or circulation.

He is this kind of an editor.
In the Monday violence at

time. had pretty we'll spotted

What Faubus has done, in

Surprise Attack. ITO provide
against the possibility of a great
|nuclear surprise attack and to
prevent miscalculation by any
nation regarding the intentions
Of another. the United States
proposes the progressive INSTALL
alton of an adequate system OF
inspection and control. If all ma
lions are safeguarded against
such an attack, the likelihood OF
a calculated major war in the nu-
clear age, and the tensions aris-
ing from the threat OF war, be-
come immeasurably reduced. AS

States has also proposed that all

veloped initially through joint

ltion of inspection methods"

pected to suggest a top-of the
