Oxford Calm and Troops Move Out
United Press International
OXFORD, Miss. (UPI) — Negro James Meredith began his second week of classes at the University of Mississippi without incident today and the Army announced it was pulling out a number of the troops that have stood by in case of trouble.
In Washington, Army Secretary Cyrus R. Vance said 5,400 of the Army troops moved to Memphis, Tenn., and Columbus, Miss., and held in reserve after riots greeted Meredith's arrival on the campus Sept. 30 were being pulled out immediately and sent back to their home bases. The action still left on duty at Oxford about 3,000 federalized Mississippi national guardmen and several thousand other regular Army troops.
TROOPS ON DUTY in Oxford and on call at Memphis and Columbus included more than 15,000 men at the height of the mobilization early last week. However, about 3,500 Mississippi guardsmen have been released and another 4,500 were allowed to return to their jobs.
Meredith, who spent the weekend off campus, walked to history class in the graduate building at 9 a.m., accompanied by four U.S. deputy marshals. Three of the marshals waited on the front steps during the class and one sat just outside the classroom door.
Meredith still is driven to his classes by a handful of marshals but he no longer is followed by a truckload of troops although soldiers are spotted about the campus and his dormitory is closely guarded. All gates of he University are guarded by troops and guards are set up about the town of Oxford.

MEREDITH DID not eat breakfast at the University cafeteria but ate there last night and received an unaccustomed overture of friendship from a white male student who sat with him. Another student shook the Negro's hand as he was about to leave.

Jeep patrols run constantly about the town and through the campus.
Approximately 17,000 troops still are on duty in Mississippi. This includes elements from the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions and the 2nd infantry division. Also present are three battalions of military police, totaling about 1,800 men, from Ft. Bragg, N.C., Ft. Dix, N.J., and Ft. Hood, Tex., plus 3,000 Mississippi national guardsmen.
But outside the cafeteria a group of students jeered Meredith last night as he started back to his dormitory.
