Federal Marshals to Alabama
WASHINGTON - (UPI) - Atty. Gen. Robert K. Kennedy announced today he is sending 200 more Federal marshals to Montgomery, Ala., because of the racial violence there.
He said the additional marshals are being sent because the situation is "obviously not satisfactory."
The attorney general told a news conference there are about 500 marshals in Alabama now. He said there will be 600 there by tonight and another 100 will be sent tomorrow.
Kennedy also announced there will be a number of Federal prosecutions in Alabama today.
He said there is evidence of violations of Federal law and "a number of people are involved."
Alabama Gov. John Patterson recommended that the same Federal marshals that escorted integration leader Martin Luther King Jr. into the state yesterday should take him back out.
The governor said his call for martial law represented no change in his policies toward the current racial crisis.
The governor said he decided to call out the National Guard when
the situation got out of hand after "Federal marshals had escorted King in here."
This morning, Alabama Public Safety Commissioner Floyd Mann telephoned Montgomery asking that all reserves of U.S. marshals be sent to the scene of new riots.
Mann's appeal apparently was the first time that an Alabama official has sought Federal aid.
Things are always at their best in their beginning. -Pascal

AUSTIN, Tex. — (UPI) For years the slippery stairs to the University of Texas Biology Building have claimed students as fall victims. Suddenly a janitor appeared with an abrasive material to give footing on the stairs. The students got their answer. "A professor fell today," the janitor said.
THE ENGINEERS HAVE HAIRY EARS
Today in this age of technology when engineering graduates are wooed and courted by all of America's great industries, how do you account for the fact that Rimbaud Sigafoos, who finished at the very top of his class at M.I.T., turned down hundreds of attractive job offers to accept employment as a machinery wiper at the Acme Ice Company at a salary of $20 a week with a twelve-hour day, a seven-day week, and only fifteen minutes for lunch?
I know what you are thinking: "Cherchez la femme!" You are thinking that Mr. Acme, head of the Acme Ice Company, has a beautiful daughter with whom Rimbaud is madly in love and he took the job only to be near her.
Friends, you are wrong. It is true that Mr. Acme does have a daughter, a large, torpid lass named Clavdia who spends all her waking hours scooping marzipan out of a bucket and staring at a television set which has not worked in some years. Rimbaud has not the slightest interest in Clavdia; nor, indeed, does any other man, excepting possibly John Ringling North.
So how come Rimbaud keeps working for the Acme Ice Company? Can it be that they provide him with free Marlboro Cigarettes, and all day long he is able to settle back, make himself comfortable and enjoy the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste?
No, friends, no. Rimbaud is not allowed to smoke on the job and when he finishes his long, miserable day he has to buy his own Marlboros, even as you and I, in order to settle back and enjoy that choice tobacco, that smooth, mellow flavor, that incomparable filter, that pack or box.
Well, friends, you might as well give up because you'll never in a million years guess why Rimbaud works for the Acme Ice Company. The reason is simply this: Rimbaud is a seal!
He started as a performing seal in vaudeville. One night on the way to the Ed Sullivan show, he took the wrong subway. All night the poor mammal rode the B.M.T., seeking a helping hand. Finally a kindly brakeman named Ernest Thompson Sigafoos rescued the hapless Rimbaud.
Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, but through all those years of grammar school and high school and college, he darn near died of the heat! A seal, you must remember, is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can imagine how poor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropical New York and Boston, especially in those tight Ivy League suits.
He took Rimbaud home and raised him as his own, and Rimbaud, to show his appreciation, studied hard and got excellent marks and finished a distinguished academic career as valedictorian of M.I.T.
But today at the Aeme Ice Company, Rimbaud has finally found a temperature to his liking. He is very happy and sends greetings to his many friends.
