U S. Hands-Off Integration Advised By Ike
Should Step In Only If Law Breaks Down
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5
President Eisenhower urged today that school integration problems be solved without violence and said federal authorities should intervene only if local officials cannot keep order.
The solution, he added, will take time.
The President told his news conference the federal government should not move into an area “until states show their inability or their refusal to grapple with this question properly, which they haven't yet."
