Irked by the Democratic maneuver, Rocky and Hatfield did some maneuvering of their own. In hopes of publicly splitting the Democratic ranks, they unveiled a resolution calling on all the Governors to exercise leadership at home in securing civil rights. Southern Democrats reacted predictably. Alabama's John Patterson (TIME cover, June 2) came out of the surf to write a 20-page protest. Mississippi's Ross Barnett threatened to take off his aloha shirt and go home...
...white with red and blue trim. Capital (and the Civil Aeronautics Board) accepted Capital's disappearance because there was no reasonable alternative; its incautious purchase of 60 turboprop Viscounts seven years ago had helped push Capital to the verge of bankruptcy. But for Hawaiian-born William ("Pat") Patterson, 61, United's president, the deal had more positive appeal.

...passage, "may be used to enforce in any part of the land the full and free exercise of all national powers and the security of all rights entrusted by the Constitution to its care." Despite his hints that the marshals would be jailed if they violated state law, Governor Patterson clearly had no authority to interfere with the forces of federal intervention. By their oath of office, state and city authorities are sworn to uphold federal as well as local law. And since In Re Neagle (1890)-in which the Supreme Court overturned the murder conviction of a deputy marshal...
