MANCnAL

by the court itself. That is how
the Government entered the
Little Rock case last year.
2. BY being asked to join the
action by the Little Rock
School Board-a prime party
in the case.
3. BY itself asking the court
to allow it to intervene as a
'friend of the court"
Judge Davies order was di-
rected against the use Of Ma
tional Guard troops by Gov.
FaubuS to prevent Negro stu
dents from entering Central
High. The Governor has con-
tended the guardsmen were
sent merely to maintain order.
Later, Mr.. Eisenhower Or
dered paratroops to the scene
to enforce the court order.
An argument advanced in the
Justice Department for the use
of deputy marshals in Little
Rock was that the administra-
ton was placed in an awkward
position - even among many
moderates - when Eisenhower
rushed paratroops to the school
last fall. Observers saw an
insupportable situation arising
were the administration to con-
tinue to send soldiers to each
school where disorder had oc-
Cured.
Meanwhile, Senator JavitS,
Republican of New York, said
Mr.. Eisenhower should call a
special session of Congress if
the Little Rock indignation dis
pute develops into an emer-
eency, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Senator Javits also proposed
immediate Federal action
similar to that under study
''to avoid If at all possible dire
emergencies like the rioting :.
last September"
Asks Rights Hearing
In a prepared Senate speech,
Senator Javits suggested:
81. That the Civil Rights
Commission hold hearings in
Little Rock in conjunction with
its Arkansas Advisory Council.
70. That the Attorney Gen.
eral should promptly intervene
as a friend of the court, pref
erably at the request of the
school board or of the court. but
in the absence of either, on its
own responsibility and at once"
Unless the Justice Depart
ment backs up court decisions,
ordering Indignation to con-
tinue this fall, Senator JavitS
said, there is every reason to
suppose that the situation can
deteriorate as it did last Sep
TENDER with a national emer-
gency-indeed what was an in
ternational emergency-on our
hands again"
The Senator said the Little
Rock School Board and local
authorities are in no position
to ask Federal assistance but
courts may ask the Justice De-
partment to come in later.
Under these circumstances
the initiative should be taken
now by the executive branch"
Senator Javits said. THE
courts have borne the full
brunt of this problem long
enough. They can not be ex-
pected to perform the legisla-
tive and executive functions.
Stennis Fears Troops
Senator Stennis. Democrat of
Mississippi, said. however, that
Mr.. EiSenhower's news confer
ence statement clearly shows
his plan is to use Federal troops
again at the Little Rock
schools.
This plan is based on a mis-
understanding of the condi-
tons in that troubled CITY," he
said. The use of force can
not achieve any constructive
goal, for the real opposition to
indignation is not found in
lawleSs elements. Opposition
to indignation is actually the
overwhelming voice of the
mothers and fathers of the
children, those most directly
concerned"
Senator Stennis described the
Court Of Appeals decision in st.
Louis last Monday as "unfortu-
nate and tragic" He said I'll
indicates the adoption of a.
course which will destroy pub
lie education in the South.
The school indignation issue
apparently prompted Senator
Douglas, Democrat of Illinois,
to draft still another proposed
amendment for possible intro
duction today in Senate debate
on Supreme Court bills. His
amendment would express the
sense of Congress that man
dates of the Supreme Court
and other courts Of the United
States be entitled full faith and
credit SIS the law of tha land"
