...week's end the Little Rock city council issued a statement: "If and when Central High School is integrated, the responsibility is clearly that of the Federal Government. However [the municipal government] will protect life and property." And while more than 100 deputies came and went from U.S. Marshal Beal Kidd's office, sign painters were busy preparing ominous notices: WARNING-DEPUTY UNITED STATES MARSHALS WEARING SPECIAL ARM BANDS AND OTHER IDENTIFICATION ARE ON OFFICIAL DUTY IN THIS VICINITY. THEY ARE ASSISTING IN THE EXECUTION OF ORDERS OF THE FEDERAL COURT. ANY PERSON INTERFERING WITH OR OBSTRUCTING SAID...
...would be hit, since one obvious Chicom aim was to provoke the U.S. into aggressive-looking acts. (The Reds even sent out false directional signals in hopes of luring American planes over the mainland, where, shot down, they would look like attackers.) Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev, rattling the Moscow end of the Communist axis, threatened in another propaganda letter to Eisenhower that U.S. ships "can serve as targets for the right types of rockets."

Each time units of the Seventh Fleet ventured within Red China's self-proclaimed twelve-mile limit (TIME, Sept. 15), Peking issued a "serious warning." (By week's end Red China's Foreign Ministry was up to "the fifth serious warning.") In a wave of synthetic fury unmatched since Korean war days, millions of Chinese-205 million by Peking's count-docilely turned out to demonstrate against "U.S. armed provocations." Describing U.S. military bases abroad as "a noose around...
...Glenn Haughie, both halfbacks, have looked extremely fast in scrimmage, and Yovicsin will lean heavily on them this fall. Repsher, in particular, has shown himself to be an explosive runner--probably the fastest man on the squad--and may well be in a starting spot by season's end...
