Houston Poll Divided on Faubus HOUSTON A good number of Houstonians apparently believe Governor Price Daniel should move as Arkansas’ Governor Orval Faubus did to avoid integration, if it becomes necessary. Some believe it will become necessary in Dallas in February, the month when a federal judge has ruled the schools there must integrate. A sampling of opinion among 39 people, selected at random on downtown streets, showed that 21 sided with Governor Faubus. They agreed with his decision to call out state troops to stop integration at Little Rock. Only nine persons, among them three Negroes, voted against Faubus’s action, and nine others, six of them Negroes either had “no comment” or weren’t acquainted with the issue. A Negro minister, V. J. Edner of the Halsey Temple, CME, was most outspoken against Faubus’s action: “I believe that he, as governor of his state, is far out of place and definitely wrong in defying our President and the laws of our land. “He’s not qualified to hold office because he violated his oath. He should be impeached or otherwise remove d,” declared Rev. Edner. Several white citizens said they sided with President Eisenhower in dispute and that the Arkansas Governor should “obey the law of the land.” None of them suggested that Faubus was wrong because he was continuing to deprive Negro citizens of their rights. Segregationists were strongly, and several times profanely, outspoken in favor of Gov. Faubus’ move. Jack Stevensons, 916 Martin Drive, said the Arkansas governor “is right. You damn right. Anything to keep from mixing schools.” Asked if Gov. Daniel should take such action in Texas, he declared: “Sure! Why not? We don’t want no mixing of white and black people here.” A 76-year-old nightwatch.man, W. W. Camp of 1202 Smith, said: “I’m in favor of Gov. Faubus’ action all the way. I wish every governor in the Union would back him up. I don’t believe in letting them cram nothing down our throats. “Gov. Daniel will do the same if he has the guts and it comes to it. Texans of a few years ago wouldn’t took nothin’ like this,” he added. Another of the segregationists, Bill W. Teer, a nattily clad young man, identified himself as the credit manager of a clothing store. “I’m for Governor Faubus because I believe in segregation. That’s all there is to it, because that’s the way it is,” he declared. A short time later he came back to the reporter and requested: “Please leave my name out of that. We have a lot of colored trade and it might hurt business if they knew who I was.” Of those who sided with Gov. Faubus, there were quite a few who indicated they regard integration as inevitable, eventually, but they felt it was being “pushed too fast.” Paul Ryne of 1110 15th, a cab driver, was one of these. He said: “You saw what happened in Nashville. The same thing could have happened in Little Rock.” One of the most interesting views was given by a gray-haired Negro lady who declined to identify herself. She explained: “I don’t watch it \(the Little ten to it on the radio. I don’t want to know about it for it would only cause resentment. My children listen, but I don’t. “I want to love everyone as it says in the Bible, and to be loved, not perspcuted. I don’t believe the Lorq will let it go on much longer. The end of it is nearer than you think.” BOB BRAY MARTIN ELFANT Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Suite ,201 Century Building 2120 Travis, Houston 2, Texas CA ‘4-068 IR 3-1210 LEGALS NOTICE OF SALE THE, STATE OF’ .L’EXAS k:OUNTY 01″i’RAVIS BY VIRTUE 01′ AN ORDER of an order of sale dated and issued pursuant to a judgment decree of the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, ay the Clerk of saia Court on said date in a certain suit, No. 107,007, styled 1Vlattie Lawson, et al and to me directed and delivered as Sheriff loaf said County, 1 have on September 6, 1957, at 8:28 A.IVI., seized, levied. upon, and will on the First Tuesday in November, 1957, the same being the 5th day of said month, at the Courthouse door of said County, in the City of Austin between the hours of 10 o’clock a.m. and 4 o’clock p.m. on said day, proceed to sell for cash to the highest bidder all the right, title and interest of the defendants in such suit in and to the following described real estate levied upon as the property of said defendants, the same lying and being situated in the County of Travis and the State of Texas, to wit: All that certain, lot, tract or parcel of land lying and being situated in the County of Travis, State of Texas, known and described as follows: Lot number vision of a part of Outlot Sixty government tracts adjoining the original City of Austin, according to the map or plat of said subdivision recorded in Volume 1, page 32 of the Plat Records of Travis County, Texas. or upon the written request of said defendants pr their attorney, a sufficient portion thereof to satisfy said judgment, interest, penalties and costs, subject, however, to the right of redemption, of the defendants or any person having an interest therein, to redeem the said property, or their interest, therein, at any time within two years from the date of sale in the manner provided by law, and subject to any other and further rights to which the defendants or anyone interest therein may be entitled, under the provisions of law.
