Price Daniel yesterday asked President Eisen hower whether he means to “oc cupy vuth troops every noninte- grated school in the south.” The Texas governor sent a tele gram to the President saying “I am shocked at your action in Arkansas” and asking him to re- consider. Daniel dispatched the telegram after reading news stories telling of Eisenhower’s move federalizing the Aikansas National Guard. Earlier yesterday the governor said he hoped Eisenhower “will not make the mistake of using federal troops” in the Little Rock inte gration controversy. Daniel’s telegram said: “In view of your numerous prec ious statements against the use of force and federal troops in inte gration controversies and your re quests for congressional approval before using troops even in foreign lands, I am shocked at your action Different Story By Gerard’s Witness SOMAGAHARA, Japan, GP) — The only American to see Wil liam S. Girard fire at a Japanese woman scrap collector testified yesterday that “actually, I don’t think he meant to do it.” He said Girard fired as a joke. But the testimony of soldier Victor Nickel, Ikster, Mich., dif fered on three points with that of Girard’s. Nickel shared a foxhole with Girard at the U. S. Army fir ing range here Jan. 80 just before Mrs. Naka Sakai was fatally wounded by the Ottawa, Ill., sol dier. in Arkansas. “Mr. President, federal force, troops, guns and bayonets are reminiscent of the tactics of re construction days which even Pres ident Lincoln opposed. It was not until force and federal troops were removed that peace, order and respect for the law returned to the South, and so will it be this time. “Does this mean you will oc cupy with troops every non inte grated school in the South? If so, your action will destroy the public school systems and good will among the races which most of us in the South have labored so hard to preserve. Even the Supreme Court said we should be given reasonable time to solve this prob lem and I know of no one who has advocated a solution by force of arms. “I respectfully urge that you re consider your action in the light of your previous advocacy of patience and good will.” 1 m lj|s I i4‘ u*>» pter / Local Kiwanians Sell Box Lunches Box lunches will again be sold by the Kiwanis Club on the high ways approaching College Station at all home football games except the University of Texas game.

He appealed to citizens of Ark ansas ‘to. assist in bringing to an immediate end all interferences with the law”. The President went on the air to explain to the American public why he had ordered federal troops into Little Rock in order to en force his command that persons he said were obstructing justice must cease and desist, and dis perse. “In that city,” Eisenhower said, “under the leadership of demagog ic extremists, disorderly mobs have deliberately prevented the carrying out of proper orders from a federal court. “Local authorities have not eliminated that violent opposition and, under the law, I yesterday is sued a proclamation calling upon the mob to disperse.” The federal court orders he re ferred to were those of Judge Ron ald Davies, who ordered compli ance with a plan for integrating Negroes into the hitherto all white Central High School. Nine Negroes entered, but were removed after a mob battled around the school yes terday. Eisenhower said that “certain misguided persons, many of them AEC Reports Red Nuclear Explosion WASHINGTON—(/P)—The Atom ic Energy Commission announced last night that the Soviet Union has set off another nuclear explo sion in its current series of weap ons tests.
