Another point in Mr.. Jack
sons argument against an in

certain and irreparable." He
emphasized the word certain"
There are a thousand
things that might intervene to
prevent the Governor from
doing what he says he will do.
No one expected the fiery

that he would send counsel
to present his defense Of

in the university doors to keep
Negroes out, Gov. Wallace told

fiance would test in the courts
the validity of this order in

Alabama may run its schools

He said repeatedly that vio-
lence would not be tolerated at
the university, but said it re-
mains to be seen whether Fed

get two Negroes into the uni

The Governor said he las
appealed to the citizens Of Ala
