OXFORD, Miss. 0S>) _ Thousands of helmeted troops poured into
this embattled college town Monday night, hours after James H.

youths caught at campus roadblocks.
THEIR apprehension brought the arrest total since the rioting to

For the most part, quiet settled

★ ★ ★NEW YORK — Union long
shoremen struck Atlantic and Gulf Coast deep water ports from
Maine to Texas Monday in a contract dispute. President Kennedy
immediately invoked the Taft- Hartley Act to blunt the multi-
million dollar impact of the walkout.
“If this strike is allowed to continue for any length of time,”
said a White House statement, “it’s effects will have such grave
and far reaching repercussions on our total domestic economy and
upon our ability to meet our urgent commitments around the world
that the national interest Would be gravely jeopardized.”

over Oxford as night fell. The darkness ended a day highlighted
by the arrest of former Gen. Edwin A. Walker and marred by a
downtown demonstration which was quelled by rifle fire in the air
and by tear gas.
Walker, who led a charge of students Sunday night against
federal marshals on the Ole Miss campus, was arrested on four
counts including insurrection against the United States.
HE WAS flown to the Federal Medical Center at Springfield, Mo.,
when he failed to post $100,- 000 bond.
Walker also was present during skirmishing Monday at the
courthouse square in Oxford. The controversial Texan, who led the
troops in the Little Rock school desegregation crisis in Little
Rock in 1957 and said later he was on the wrong side then, was
taken into custody at noon at a roadblock.
At the capital in Jackson, Gov. Ross Barnett, who once vowed to
go to jail rather than see Ole Miss integrated, blamed the disorder
on the marshals. He said they were “inexperienced, nervous and
trigger happy.”
IN REMARKS for a television statement Monday night, Barnett said
the marshals fired tear gas point blank at state highway patrolmen
who, he said, were successfully moving back a crowd of students.
Someone tossed a pop bottle. The marshals opened up, Barnett said,
adding that five patrolmen were treated for effects of the gas.
“This was the direct cause of violence on the campus,” he
charged.
Baylor Faculty Member To Talk In Chapel Here
Dr. John B. Davidson, who appeared here last spring in the
Marriage Forum Series, will speak Wednesday in the All Faiths
Chapel. The Baylor University faculty member is an authority in the
field of the psychology of religion.
The public is invited to hear Davidson talk at 8 p.m. on the

Sponsoring Davidson’s appearance on campus are the YMCA, the
A&M Presbyterian Church, the Interfaith Council, the Chapel
Committee, the A&M Methodist Church, the Student Senate and
Corps and civilian chaplains.
Davidson is a native Texan who holds a bachelor of science
degree from North Texas State University, a master of theology from
Southwesterm Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of
Philosophy degree from the University of Texas.
Davidson served several of the larger churches of his
denomination from 1942 to 1954.
Earlier, Barnett, under an 11 a.m. CST Tuesday deadline to purge
himself of contempt of court charges, called for an end to
violence. Law and order must prevail, he said in a broadcast, “even
though our state has been invaded^by federal forces.”
ALL DAY long, caravans of miltary vehicles roared into Oxford.
They carried crack units of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions.
Fresh troops of the 1st Airborne Battle Group of the 328th Infantry
landed at Columbus from Ft. Campbell, Ky., to augment the
Mississippi contingent.
Wearing battle fatigues and equipped with bayonets and gas
masks,’ the soldiers sealed off the campus and courthouse square.
Jeeps patrolled the streets.

‘Texas Observer9 Article Spawned ‘Time’s9 Story
It’s no secret any longer!The source of Time Magazine’s infamous
article on
A&M has turned up in The Texas Observer by the same
author—Robert Sherrill.
In the Sept. 29 issue of the Austin publication, 121^2
one-column inches are devoted to A&M in the edition’s lead
story. Time’s article was clearly taken from this conglomeration,
but polished considerably before going to press.
The primary differences are in detail—The Observer goes into
more crude incidents and prints names.
Copies of the issue are available in Cushing Memorial

In-Flight Frolic Cut Off Engine, Probers Told
WASHINGTON (^) — An airline flight engineer said Monday he saw a
stewardess slip into the pilot’s lap during a flight and believes
during this frolic she caught her spike heel in a throttle and cut
off an engine.
Fred W. Hazlett, of Sunland, Calif., said he had left the
cockpit after seeing the girl sit on the pilot’s lap on a Western
Air Lines flight some years ago. A few minutes later the plane took
a dip and one engine shut down momentarily, he said.
“I raced back into the cockpit and saw the stewardess standing
up, adjusting her girdle,” Hazlett said. “I concluded that when she
got off the pilot’s lap her high heel cut the mixture switch on one
of the engines.”
Two former stewardesses also told a House Government Operations
subcommittee they had been invited by pilots to sit at the controls
and fly passenger flights as a lark.
One of them, Margaret Mary Donofry of Jackson Heights, N.Y.,
said she flew a 60-passenger Eastern Air Lines plane for 35 minutes
from Atlanta, Ga., to Charlotte, N. C., where she let it down from
9,000 feet to 1,500 feet prior to landing.
