AUSTIN, (A 3 )—Gov. 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.”

WASHINGTON, (A>) _ President
Eisenhower declared last night that
“our enemies” abroad are gloating
over the school segregation troubles
in Little Rock.
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.
An AEC spokesman indicated
the blast was that of a hydrogen
bomb with an explosive force equi
valent to a million tons of TNT.
Statement by AEC Chairman
Lewis S. Strauss said it was in the
“megaton range.” The usual sup
position is that this range of pow
er means a hydrogen bomb, the
spokesman noted.
The announcement said the lat
est detonation occurred Sept. 24 at
a site north of the Arctic Circle.
The last explosion noted by the
United States was Sunday Sept. 8.
It was the third nuclear explo
sion in the U.S.S.R. announced by
the United States since Aug. 22.
An announcement heard in Lon
don over the Moscow radio about
the time of the AEC’s announce
ment said that the Soviet army
and navy are training with atomic
and hydrogen weapons.
imported into Little Rock by agita-
toi’s,” have insisted upon defying
the law and sought to bring it
into disrepute.
The President didn’t name names
in his address from the White
House.
Eisenhower flew here from his
vacation spot in Rhode Island to
deliver the speech.
In midafternoon there was an
other historic flight-this one of 500
regular Army soldiers of the 101st
Airborne Division, ordered to Lit
tle Rock under instructions of the
President.
The 9,900 men of the Arkansas^
National Guard were brought un
der federal control, to be used as
necessaiy to enforce the federal
court order for intergration of Lit
tle Rock’s Central High.
PLEA FROM PICK FORD
DAYTON, Ohio (A 3 )—-Former ac
tress Mary Pickford has challenged
the men who built the hydrogen
bomb and crashed the sound bar
rier to do something about zip-
pers.
“I was caught in a zipper for
25 minutes,” the one-time movie
star told a national education con
ference here. “Where are the sci
entists and engineers in this coun
try that thy can’t do something
about zippers?”

Man to Man
By JOE TINDEL
For the first time, the Battalion editor will attempt to
organize a few chosen remarks from all phases of campus,
city, state and national life which he hopes will interest
readers.
As is probably evident, The Battalion is doing - quite a
few things different this year and adding new features to
make the paper more enjoyable.
Starting yesterday and running once each week, for, we
hope, the remainder of the year, is 'a new column by Welton
Jones called “Art for Aggies’ Sake”.
The staff would appreciate any remarks about the
column.
Next week Joe Buser, news editor, will begin his column,
“Off the Cuff”. He’d probably appreciate your offering any
tasty tidbits at anjr time.
★ ★ ★
The Department of History and Government has a new
course on American Political Parties—Government 315.
Currently P. J. Woods is teaching the class which promises
to be a valuable course for young voters.
★ ★ ★
It’s probably evident to you that Jim Earle, alias Cadet -
Slouch, is back with us. From all reports, he’s being well
received.
★ ★ ★
The Corps of Cadets is to be commended for the way
it has handled sick members in the dormitories during the
current flu epidemic.

As time goes on and more material comes into my
office this column will be continuing. Until then any sub
jects, ideas or remarks from the readers will be gratefully
