Order will be enforced
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell expressed hope Sunday that the federal government would not have to resort to force to carry out the Supreme Court's historic order to end segregation "at once" in the nation's public schools.
"We assume now that the Supreme Court has spoken local school boards will comply with it," Mitchell said. "If they do not, obviously the Justice Department will be obligated to take action."
The attorney general, interviewed on the television show Meet the Press, reiterated his pledge of last week to use "all the facilities" and resources at the Justice Department's command to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling.
Asked whether he meant the Nixon administration would be willing to use federal troops to force desegregation, as Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy did in Arkansas and Mississippi, Mitchell replied: "We feel the area of cooperation and the time of cooperation has arrived that we will not find it necessary to use any means other than persuasion in order to enforce the order of the court."
Mitchell said the government would begin implementing the mandate as soon as the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans issued orders for desegregation of the 33 Mississippi districts involved in the Supreme Court's decision last Wednesday.

Secretary says no more wars in Asia
Time said the study, in the Defense Department as "Strategy Memorandum Number Three," recommends the United States "remain a Pacific power only through air and naval strength."
NEW YORK (UPI) — Time magazine said Sunday the Nixon administration has under consideration a "strategy memorandum" written by Deputy Defense Secretary David Packard which says "U.S. forces of the future need not be prepared to wage a massive land war in Asia."
The magazine said, "The only extensive foreign presence of U.S. ground troops would be in Europe, to meet NATO commitments. The Joint Chiefs of Staff would be required to plan for a major war there and a brushfire engagement elsewhere, the so-called 'one-half war' strategy, rather than for major actions in both Europe and Asia.
"No plans for full-scale military operations in Africa or Latin America would be considered."
ECUMENICAL GIFT
On Friday, during a speech at Los Angeles, Defense Secretary Melvin E. Laird said U.S. forces should become "smaller, leaner, more mobile, certainly more volunteer." Laird has also said the United States is shooting for a capability of fighting one big war and one small one instead of trying to cope with two big ones and a small one.
