MONTGOMERY, Ala, May

teTt OF a telegram sent to
President. Kennedy last night
by Coz. George Wallace con-
cerntng the possible use OF
troops In Birmingham:
AS per your statement as
reported by news media that
you have alerted Federal armed
forces to take action in the case
of further violence in Birming-
ham-may I ask under what
authority you would send Fed
eral troops into this State?
The Constitution of the
United States, Article 4, Sec
ton 4, states that the Federal
Government may send troops
to quell domestic violence upon
application of the State legis-
lature and, If 1t be not con-
vened. upon application Of the
Governor.
The legislature Of this State
has made no request; nor
have I.
The situation is well in hand.
Law and order prevail. I fur
ther inform you that as COM
mander in chief Of the Alabama
National Guard I have already
alerted the guard and will call
1t on q moments notice. In
fact, ! have taken precautions
to have IL available immedi-
lately.
I respectfully inquire Of you
as to why you have ignored the
Governor Of this State in this
matter when we are controlling
this situation as I am for
maintenance Of law and order
and desire to prevent violence
and keep the peace as much as
anyone in Washington.
You have yourself stated, Mr.
President. that no Federal ques-
tion is involved, and the situa-
ton has not changed since
your making that statement.
Your complete bypassing Of
State officials is an affront to
me as Governor as we'll as to

from Washington after the
President awakened. Assistant
Attorney General Burke Mar
shall was brought back to
Washington by helicopter from
q weekend respite in West
Virginia. He and Deputy At

zenbach huddled with the
Attorney General.
Mr.. Kennedy broke off his
own weekend stay in the noun

White House by helicopters.
Justice Department officials
shifted to the White House for
talks with the President. Sec

Army Cyrus r. Vance.
Initial Steps Listed
Tension tugged at the White
House staff and waiting re-

Mr.. Kennedy strode into the
White House Fish Room" q
reception room noted for q
piscatorial decor, with his
statement in hand. He was
unsmiling, utterly serious, as
he began.
Toward the end, he listed
what he said three initial steps

the Government was prepared
to carry out its obligations
under the law and Constitu-

this morning.
"2. 1 have instructed Secre-
tary of Defense Mcnamara to
alert units Of the armed forces

dispatch selected units to mill

Birmingham.
Finally. I have directed that
the necessary preliminary steps
to calling the Alabama National
Guard into Federal service be
taken now so that units Of the
guard will be promptly avail
able should their services be
required"
If the troops being deployed
now have to be sent into action
it will mark the third time
racial troubles have resulted
in such armed Intervention In
recent years.
In 1857 when President
Eisenhower sent soldiers to Lit

KENNEDY STATEMENT
Riot-ControI 7 roops
Are Ordered AIerted

FOLLOWING Is the tert OF
President Kennedy's state
ment last night on the Ala
bGmd racial situation:
Evening star., 1963-05-13

President Kennedy kept a
close watch on the racial stu
alton in Birmingham today
after ordering Federal troops
into standby positions at Ala
bama military bases.
The President was prepared
to send the troops into Bir-
mingham and Federalizc the
Alabama National Guard If
necessary in order to keep down
disorder in the city where riots
broke out late Saturday night
after a Negro residence and
motel were bombed.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger told reporters
today the President had taken
no further action regarding
use Of Federal troops in Bir-
mingham since ordering un-
identified units trained in riot
control to the State.
It was obvious the President
hoped that his call upon the
citizens Of Birmingham to avoid
further violence would be
needed and that 1t would not
be necessary to move Federal
troops into the city.
Troops Not Unidentified
Mr.. Salinger said that the
Government does not intend to
identify the troop units stand
ing by in Alabama or the num-
bers involved. He also refused
to speculate about further steps
regarding troop movements.
Mr.. Salinger said the Presi-
dent was keeping in touch with
the situation In Birmingham
through Attorney General Rob-
ert F. Kennedy. his brother.
Mr.. Salinger said the PreSi-
dent was also drafting q tele-
gram in reply to one from
Alabama Gov. George Wallace
questioning the Presidents au-
thority to send troops into the
State and asking him to leave
the keeping of order to local
Mr.. Salinger said the Presi-
dent Is going ahead with plans
to fly to northern Alabama
Saturday In connection with
the 30th anniversary Of the
iva.
May Meet Wallace
Whether the President and
Gov. Wallace would meet next
Saturday was an open cues
ton.
Normally, when q President
visits q State, the Governor is
on hand to greet him. But Mr..
Salinger said he did not know
whether Gov. Wallace would
be present for ceremonies on
The President did not state
the authority under which he
acted yesterday to deploy
troops In Alabama and to pre-
pare for liberalization Of the
National Guard in the State.
Justice Department officials
cited his power TO deal with
civil disturbances, and an ad-
niinistration spokesman said
that 50 far as troops are con-
cerned, as Commander In
Chief, Mr.. Kennedy had merely
shifted them to different bases.
The Justice officials pointed
out that conditions had
changed considerably since Mr..
Kennedy told q news conference
last Wednesday that the parad-
ing and dispersal OF Negroes in
Birmingham had violated no
Federal law, so that Federal
Intervention was unwarranted.
The Presidents decision to
intervene in the Birmingham
crisis capped a day Of feverish
conferences by telephone and
In person conferences In
which key executives OF the
Defense and Justice Depart
ments sat In with the President.

House Probe Asked

The timing of the bombings
strongly indicates there are
those who were unhappy be-
cause of the lack of violence in
the last few days. Violence
and internal disorder are the
stock and trade of the Com
muniSts, and in my judgment
there has been sufficient ac-
tivity in Alabama by outside
subversives to strongly indicate
their involvement in the bomb
ing incident.
I am, therefore, requesting

information leading to the
arrest and conviction Of those
responsible for these acts.
Calls Violence DisgracefuI
"The violence in the streets
Of Birmingham by Negroes
which began almost simultane-
ously with the bombings, was
disgraceful. Law enforcement
officers were stoned by Negro
mobs. one officer was stabbed
in the back. the assistant police
chief hospitalized from a head
injury from a thrown brick, an
innocent cab driver severely
beaten. stabbed and his cah
turned over and set afire by
this Negro mob.
Fires were deliberately
started, and when firemen
rushed to the scene they were
attacked by the mob and thei,
equipment destroyed. In many
instances firemen had to have
police protection To reach burn
ing buildings.
While I was being given q
report over the telephone OF
these happenings by my di-
rector Of the department OF
public safety he was at that
time being stoned by a Negro
mob. This is what Martin
Luther King calls non-violence
and passive resistance.
We are going to break this
up. Such violence will not be
tolerated. If 1t takes 1000 OF
10000 law enforcement officers
or whatever it takes-order
will be maintained.

DALLAS, July 20 - Gary
Player sat shaking his head in
the scorers tent after he came
in with 81 today in the third
round of the National PGA
championship.
He had Just brought himself
from far back into a challeng-
ing position, but Player, the
defending champion, was I'M
happy.
I'm really upset" he said
In his clipped South African
accent. II have a great OPP
portunity for a SO and then
DOGGY two of the last four
holes"
He allowed a photographer to
annoy him at the 18th after
he had played a questionable
six-iron shot that missed the
green to the left.
Photographer Stands in Line
AS Player prepared to putt
a 10-footer for a par after pop
ping a wedge shot out of the
rough past the hole, the pho
to3rapher inched toward him
dead in his line to the hole.
Player asked him to move and
the photographer did, but not
very much. He had to be
asked again and by this time
Player was evidently thinking
more of the photographer than
of his putt.
When he missed, taking his
first DOGGY Of the round, Player
spotted the cameraman.
Thanks a lot" he said in a
biting tone. That's the fifth
time you've done that today.
Don't you have any feeling?"
Later, Player refused to dis
cuss 1t.
You know what you saw, "
he said, but I'm not going to
say anything about it,"
Player holed a 30-foot putt
for a 3 on the par five first,
made one from Is feet on the
sixth and from 10 feet on the
seventh to go out in 80. He
almost made it 81, but his g.
footer at the ninth hung on
the lip.
Goes to One Over
He was then four under par
for the round and three over
for the tournament. He got

know If I'll be able to play
after an operation, but at least

HARRY SCHNEITER, for

visor-"You've got to be cocky
to play this game. Hogan said
it's 70 per cent mental and he's
right. Jerry Barber doesn't
think anybody can beat him.
When something goes wrong,
then it isn't his fault. That's
the way he feels. There's too
much negative thinking among
some of the good players.
That's why they're not great
players"

was worse at the Cleveland
