Back in the 5th century B.C.,
Euripides wrote: "The gods visit

includes Alabama, brought black
men and women, in chains, from
Africa to America, to be SLAVES.
Euripides was right.

collected American is preparing
to take off sometime along about
midnight tonight in an attempt to

and soaring above more than 100

years ago landed in Brisbane in
a light plane Sunday night, rje
coming the first woman to fly
alone across the Pacific from Cal

Miller left Oakland on April 30,

plane that her husband had
taught her to fly.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) Combat equipped fed
eral troops on orders from President Kennedy today
moved into jumpoff position south of this industrial city
where heavily-armed state police vowed to prevent any
further outbreak of racial rioting.
Huge Air Force transport planes began landing the
troops at Maxwell Air Force Base 90 miles south of here
at Montgomery within an hour after Kennedy issued his
order Sunday. By early morning, more than 10 planes
had trrived with cagoes of soldiers, jeeps and other
equipment.
The steel-helmeted troops, carrying bayonet-tinned
carbines, were housed in vacant barracks for the nigfit
at Maxweil which was placed on alert.
Kennedy said in calling out the troops that he would
"do whatever must be done to preserve order" in Bir
mingham which was rocked by bombings and rioting
early Sunday. Twenty-two persons were injured hi the
pitched battles between Negroes and police that cli
maxed six weeks of anlisegregalion demonstrations.
Alabama Governor Protests
It was the second time in a lit
tle more than seven months that
Kennedy had ordered federal
troops into the South in connec
tion with racial violence. He dis
patched 23,000 troops to tlie Ox
ford, Miss., area last October aft
er University of Mississippi stu
dents rioted over the admission
of Negro student James H. Mere
dith. Ally. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
said today there is a "tense, diffi
cult" situation in Birmingham but
that he is hopeful it will be set
tled by local interests. Kennedy
expressed hope that tlie agree
ment between Negroes and whites
reached last week would not come
apart as a result of the violence-
Gov. George Wallace protested
the sending of troops to Alabama.
In a telegram lo the President
Sunday, he said "sufficient state
law enforcement officers arc
available to maintain peace and
order" in Birmingham.
A source close to Wallace said
there was a good chance the gov
ernor would seek a court order
enjoining the federal forces from
leaving Maxwell.
Alabama Public Safety Director
Al Lingo, a shotgun slung over
his shoulder, told newsmen Sun
day night that as of now, we ve
got things firmly under control.
"We don't expect any trouble
and if there Is any, I know we
can handle it," said Lingo, head
of the Slate Highway Patrol. He
snapped "no comment" when
asked lor his reacUon to the send
ing of federal troops Into tlie
state.
Dynamiting Touches Off Battle
The stone, brick and bare
knuckle battling of Negroes with
police was touched off by tlie
dynamiting of tlie home of Rev.
A. D. King, brother of integra
tion leader Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., and of the A. G. Gaston
motel, headquarters of the inte
gration movement which began a
massive campaign to tear down
Ihe racial barriers here six weeks
ago.
At least 22 persons were in
jurcd. Stores and homes were set
afire as were a taxicab and a
Shrincr's gaudy motorcycle.
Policeman J. N. ipivcy was
stabbed twice in the back. A
taxicab driver was pulled from
his car and beaten.
Police Inspector William Haley
was struck with a brick and il
took six slitchrs lo close the
wound.
Iler Sunday, at Annislon, 60
miles to the northeast, two Negro
homes and a .church were dam
aged by shotgun blasts. There
were no Injuries.
Kennedy'! orders included the
sending of troops lo bases near
Birmingham, taking or prelimi
nary steps toward lederalizing
units of the Alabama National
Guard and the dispatching of civ
il righui trouble shooter Burke
Marshall, assistant attorney gen
eral in charge of the Civil Rights
Division of the Justice Depart
ment, back here to thrash out
problems with city and Negro
leaders.
State highway patrolmen, rein
forced by conservation agents, Al
coholic Beverage Control board
men, sheriff's deputies and depu
tized National Guardsmen, joined
city police in cordoning off a 20
block area near the downtown
section. No one was permitted to
enter or leave, except newsmen
with passes issued by Lingo.

Within the Negro busincss-resl.

Some streets in the blocked off
area were dark because firei
burned through power lines dur

Dr. King said the blasts were

The Atlanta Integration leader
said he did not think the racial
troubles would nullify an agree
ment announced last Friday be

King praised President Kenne
dy for his direct action. The .fe-

administration "will not let the
rights of Negroes be trampled

King admitted he probably
could not control "retaliatory vio
