Walker Promised Support Fails to Materialize at Ole Miss
The report recalls Walker promising thousands to back Mississippi Governor Barnett against James Meredith’s enrollment at the University of Mississippi. A group of about 100 students backed by Walker confronted federal marshals at the Ole Miss campus on a Sunday night. The former general also asked attorney Craig if waiving a hearing would ensure the trial returns to Mississippi.

Contempt Hearing Ruled For Johnson In Southern District
A U.S. district court in Southern Mississippi held attorney Johnson in contempt for defying campus inquiry and failing to appear at a hearing. The Justice Department asked no prison sentence, noting acts were “more or less done in behalf of the governor.” The court warned Johnson could face penalties if he acted in place of the governor in future orders. Separately, astronauts Barnett and Cooper underwent examinations. Dr. Howard Minners reported both in excellent condition for flight. Daisy, a tropical storm near Puerto Rico, had winds between 35 and 50 mph with 320 miles of eastern semicircular reach and was expected to remain weak and disorganized as it moved northwest near San Juan.
