The deportment of Federal marshals
during the Oxford Incident was shame
till- The truth about what happened
at Oxford. Including the fact that the
marshals themselves precipitated the
riot by firing tear gas shells Into a group
of Unarmed students, has been censored
out of most of- the Nations press.
I have, no desire here. to reargue the
Oxford. caase,`axcept to say in my opin-
ton. ? the . action taken by the Federal
Government, at Oxford presents itself
as the most shameful misuse of Ezecu-
tlve power ever experienced by the peo-

latration drive in OreeMrood, Mica, I
urged that course of aetion.
For too long a time' we have seen, un-
der the color of States rights, the denial
of equal opportunity, and the dental of

entourage the Attorney 00 MW to use
his otdce, nao his powers and use the
statutes which are on the books to see
to It . that American "cities are per-
mitted to register and are permitted to
attend any State college or university or
any elementary school without disorim-
ination because of race, creed or color.
