Alabama Guardsmen Return to Jobs After UA Enrollment Quiet
Thousands of Alabama National Guardsmen resumed civilian work as a third African American student enrolled at the University of Alabama without incident. Dave M. McGlathery, a 27 year old mathematician from the Marshall Space Flight Center, registered at the Alabama Extension Center and began an advanced course in series and special functions. Despite the tense context, he reported no reaction from fellow students. With three Negroes enrolled, about 17,000 guardsmen were federalized, then gradually released from duty as operations shifted. Secretary of the Army Cyrus R. Vance said those returning would stay in active service and keep units informed of whereabouts. See UA on Page 2.
