Guardsmen are to leave Phenix City after nearly seven months of duty as of next Tuesday unless Gov elect James E. Folsom decides to keep them there. Gov. Gordon Persons would issue a proclamation Monday rescinding last July’s martial law order. Vernon Merritt Jr. said the coming governor will survey the situation to choose a course. With Persons leaving office January 17, speculation had grown that the executive order might expire. Merritt said Folsom and adjutant general nominee W. D. Partlow Jr. have been notified. the incoming governor could not comment. About 150 armed troopers patrolled the river area after Persons ordered a takeover of law enforcement. The crackdown on gambling-linked officers remains ongoing.
