the Alabama National Guard and the dispatching of civil rights trouble-shooter Burke Marshall, assistant attorney general in charge of the civil rights division of the Justice Department, back here to thrash out problems with city and Negro leaders.
There were more than 600 law enforcement officers on duty during Sunday, their activities controlled by a mobile highway patrol headquarters. Around midnight the staff was reduced to an estimated 250 with several men at street intersections in the riot area.
Some streets in the blocked off area were dark because fires burned through power lines during the height of the rioting.
DR. KING SAID the blasts were "expressive death groans of a dying system."
The Atlanta integration leader said he did not think the racial troubles would nullify an agreement announced last Friday between white and Negro leaders on a desegregation plan over the next 90 days.
King praised President Kennedy for his direct action. The Negro minister said it showed the administration "will not let the rights of Negroes be trampled on."
KING ADMITTED he probably could not control "retaliatory violence of Negroes who hold a deep resentment of their second class citizenship."
Mayor Art Hanes blamed the bombings and the race riot on Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, "If any blood is spilled," Hanes said, "I hope it catches in his throat and he chokes on it."
Hanes said officers were picking up Negroes "right and left" for carrying guns, knives and clubs. He

The same section also was cited—among others—by Kennedy last year when he intervened in the Oxford, Miss., rioting, and by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1957 when he sent troops to Little Rock, Ark.
WALLACE LAST NIGHT sent Kennedy a telegram disputing the President's power to send troops to Alabama. The governor cited the U.S. Constitution.
"The Constitution of the United States . . . states that the Federal government may send troops to quell domestic violence upon application of the state legislature or the governor of a state." Wallace said.
"The legislature of this state has made no request, nor have I," he said. Wallace also said there were sufficient state and local authorities to handle the Birmingham racial violence.
Section 333, dating back to 1871 and revised in 1956, requires no request by a state before the President can act. It states:
"THE PRESIDENT, BY using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a state, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—
- So hinders the execution of the laws of that state, and of the United States within that state, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law and the constituted authorities of that state are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege or immunity or to give that protection; or
- Opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice.
"In any situation covered by clause 1, the state shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution."
He also promised to lift the censorship on outgoing news. Correspondents who tested the censorship shortly afterward found it tighter than ever—they were not even allowed to phone or cable Mother's Day greetings.
OAS Council Chairman Gonzalo Facio of Costa Rica said yesterday on the event of the team's departure from Washington that the OAS is doing all it can to get President Francois Duvalier to guarantee human rights and freedom for the Haitian people.
The President walked from the palace gate to the new tax building with his wife, surrounded by a heavily-armed escort.
As Duvalier started his walk, the click of safety catches being released on weapons up and down the street sounded like rain on a tin roof.
Duvalier left his heavily-guarded national palace yesterday for what was believed to be the first time since April 21. He walked 300
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti—(UPI)
—A strengthened trump team from the Organization of American States (OAS) was expected here shortly for a second look at conditions in this troubled Caribbean republic.
In San Juan, Puerto Rico, exiled oppositionist Louis Dejoie predicted that Duvalier's regime would fall before the end of the month. Dejoie was one of five prominent Haitian refugees who met yesterday to proclaim the establishment of a Haitian government-in-exile.
