one or two usually takes care of any
problem we have" says Louis W.
Hollis, executive director of the Jack
son Citizens Council Even large COM
panies have been subjected to economic
pressure, although the council staunch-
ly denies it has ever fomented a boy
colt.
For example, when word was
spread by the council few years ago
that the makers Of certain products
contributed to the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, sales of those products slumped
Immediately in Mississippi. eve SIM
ply printed the facts in our newspaper
ana let our members consciences be
their guide" Mr.. Hollis says.
A Visit With Mr.. Hollis
Such successes have encouraged
the council to continue with similar
tactics in the current Indignation
crisis. For an idea of how the council
hs presently operating, visit with Mr..
Hollis in his office across the street
from the Governors mansion. Inter-
rupting a chat with a reporter to talk
by telephone with Jackson newspaper
executive, Mr.. Hollis informs the
executive that citizens of nearby
Laurel are disconnected by the Laurel
papers stand on the states problems
with the Federal Government. The
Laurel paper was one of "a few I'M Mis-
sissippi which have been critical of
the Governors stand.
Would the Jackson paper oblige,
Mr.. Hollis inquiries, by expanding its
coverage of Laurel news to attract
more readers in that community?
Hope you take over the whole market
down there" Mr.. Hollis says. People
in Laurel feel you could have larger
circulation than the present paper"
Though a clear-cut Federal victory
in the present integration fight would
probably pinch off much of the power
of the Citizens Council, officials seem
little concerned about any such pros
pect. Mr. Hollis, in fact, cheerfully re-
ports that since the attempt by Negro
James H. Meredith to register at Ole
Miss hit the national headlines, new
applications for membership have been
flowing in at the rate of 60 to 70 a
day eff only the Federals keep after
us we'll have 10000 members in jack
son by Christmas" he jests.
But were the council not to gain
another member, it's influence would
be far from a joking matter Because
of it's solidly entrenched position in
this state, the group stands squarely
in the path of the type of settlement
which finally ended the troubles of
Little Rock few years ago. Disguised
with the violence and economic losses
brought on by Governor Faubus' seq
regation stand, Arkansas businessmen
and moderates finally combined to
convince state officials and many other
folks of the futility of it all. The
chance of similar development is re-
mote indeed.

Governor Barnett Is Responsible
Decision To Defy

Mississippi stands alone today be-
fore the bar of world opinion convicted
and guilty of rebellion and open in
surrection against the government of
the United States.
No infant now living will ever see
the day when the stain is completely
removed from the name of our once
proud state.
This absolute defiance by Missis-
sippi of constituted governmental
authority, paradoyically committed in
the name of States rights" has re-
suited in rioting and violence which
to date has caused the death of two
people, injury Of scores, destruction of
untold property by arson and vandal-
ism, and finally made necessary the
occupation of the University of Mis-
sissippi and the City of Oxford by
federal troops to maintain law and
order.
This tragic and altogether unneces-
sary situation was brought about by one
thing and one thing only - the fateful
decision of Gov. Ross Barnett to defy,
rather th9n obey. federal court order
to admit Negro James Meredith as a
student at the University of Missis-
sippi, unsupported state institution
of higher learning.
When Governor Barnett decided to
personally intervene in the Meredith
case, court matter in which he was
not even a party declaring on state
television and radio he was "inter-
posing" himself between the federal
court order and the state to prevent
compliance of the State College Board
and three University officials, at that
moment the Chief Executive took upon
himself the sole responsibility for all
the unhappy events which followed.
Governor Rarnett cannot. evade
that responsibility = including the
bloodshed.
No accusations against others, in
Guiding the U. S. Justice Department
and u. S. Marshals, can alter the fact
that they would not be in Mississippi
today had Governor Barnett left the
Meredith matter to the courts and the
College Board where it belonged.
Governor Barnett's personal de-
fiance of the u. S. Court (Which is the
law of the land, regardless of what
anyone would have us believe other
wise) ignited the ugly spirit Of rebel
lion and sedition which has carefully
BEEN nurtured in our state by irtespon-
sible extremist and pressure groups

Mississippi's Course
Citizens Council Has Big Role In Shaping Il;
Group En|ists Business And Civic Leaders
(Reprnted From The Wall Street JournaD
By WILLIAM R. CLABBY
By WILLIAM R. CLABBY

Jackson, Miss. From it's perch
atop the Mississippi CapitoPs dome, a
golden eagle gazes majestically across
this tense Southern city. Though some
what furnished, the giant bird stands
as the traditional symbol of the power
an electorate vests in its public serv-
ants.
Ostensibly that power in Missis-
sippi now rests firmly in the hands of
strong minded Governor Ross Barnett.
But there are some in this segrega-
tion stronghold who contend the eagle
might better roost on brown-brick
office building just two blocks away.
There, in a small cluster of offices on
the third floor, is the national head
quarters of the Citizens Council Of
America, as well as the headquarters
OF the Jackson chapter. From these
offices, too, the activities of local
chapters throughout Mississippi are
coordinated.
A militant exponent of racial en-
tegrity'' and states rights, the Citi-
zens Council has become behind-the-
scenes focal point in the current state
Federal battle over integration. The
group Yields strong influence both
over Mississippi's governing officials
and over it's business community.
Some Merchants Fearful
Talk with the states merchants
and it becomes clear a majority svn-
pathize with Governor Barnett's de-
fiance of the Federal court order to
desegregate the University of Missis-
sippi, but the minority who hold con.
trary views are reluctant even to dis
cuss their feelings on the matter.
much less take any overt action. sT'm
worried about what the Governors
leading us into, but wouldn't dare do
anything about it," says Jackson ap-
pllance dealer. "Citizens Council pres
sure would probably send my custom
erS dOWn the street."
No rabble-rousing, violence-bent
band of race baiters, the Mississippi
Citizens Council instead is an organi-
zatlon of prominent business and civic
leaders. Here in Jackson, for example.
the local chapter boasts some 5000
members, including past presidents of
the Jackson Chamber of Commerce,
several current presidents of the city's
civic clubs, most of the police force
and the head Of one of the larger banks
in town.
Many of the councils activities
are centered on spreading it's segrega-
ton doctrine and conservative political
views. To achieve these aims it pro-
duces weekly radio and television
shows, publishes monthly magazine
and sends members and non-members
alike clippings and pamphlets.
But here in Mississippi the coun-
ellis real power stems from its ability
to mobilize large blocs of voters - and
consumers.
A few merchants in the past who
have not stood strongly enough for
segregation have been taught the err
ror of their ways. "A phone call to
