...less fortunate members of our society. However, it is also common knowledge that his strongest support comes from some of Mississippi's leading citizens. A more careful analysis of Ross Barnett will indicate that he is not a "bitter racist," but a benevolent, fair-minded Southern segregationist dedicated to helping the Southern Negro while maintaining Southern dignity and tradition...

...racially embattled Little Rock, a prime point of interest last week was a religious conversion. Not long ago, Clothing Dealer Jimmy Karam was a pal of Governor Faubus, a segregationist leader of the 1957 riots at Central High School; during last fall's elections, he faked an inflammatory picture of a Negro family agitating for "equality" (TIME, Oct. 6). But now invective ("lying bastards, gutless s.o.b.s.") is gone from his lips. He holds court in his Main Street store, telling all comers that "only Jesus is important.

...House seats. With the state legislature under his control. Governor Orval Faubus will have the power to redistrict Wilbur Mills right out of the House, so Mills has had to avoid offending Faubus. Bowing to Faubus, Mills has been conspicuously protective toward Arkansas Congressman Dale Alford, outspoken segregationist, who was narrowly elected last November as a Faubus-backed write-in candidate.* Mills's friends sadly point out that Northern Democrats would never choose as Speaker a man regarded as being under even the remote control of Orval Faubus...
