Bumpers Sees Tension Easing in Marianna and Degree News
Gov. Dale Bumpers reported Marianna's racial tension easing after state police increased from 12 to 41 amid guarding an ABC crew. He said negotiations between blacks and whites would begin only if both sides request help. In Arkansas politics, he floated selecting delegates to the 1972 Democratic National Convention without a prior popular election. Also, funds from 13.8 million might ease University of Arkansas Medical Center finances. Eloise Hope Ray becomes Henderson State’s eighth degree recipient in her family.
