Within hours after the violence had erupted, U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. ordered an FBI roundup of Clinton's segregationist leaders. Next day 16 of them (including White Citizens Council Leader W. H. Till and hate-spouting, part-time Preacher Alonzo Bullock) were arrested on contempt-of-court charges. At Clinton high school, shortly after it was closed, about 50 students met with Jerry Shattuck, 17, student-council president and football captain, and called for compliance "with the Federal Court order to provide an education for all the citizens of Anderson County who desire...
Even in the Democratic South, some relatively young Republicans are giving Democratic incumbents a rough go. In Georgia's Fifth District, Atlanta Lawyer Randolph William Thrower, 43, former filling-station attendant, FBI agent and Marine captain, is close on the heels of arch-segregationist Representative James C. Davis, 61, who was Georgia's presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention, and has since held carefully stacked House subcommittee hearings on integration in the District of Columbia's schools (TIME, Oct.1). In Kentucky's Sixth District, Fayette County's Republican Sheriff Wallace ("Wah Wah") Jones...
Horns & Tail. Next January, when the U.S. Senate convenes for the first session of the 85th Congress, the same Southern comet will rise over the national horizon as strapping (6 ft., 196 lbs.)

Smooth and suave...
...Senate Herman will find opportunity to voice his outrage against the present Justices of the Supreme Court ("A little group of politicians [who have] not had enough experience to handle one chicken thief in Mitchell County"). Isolationist as well as segregationist, he will take a stand against what he regards as pressing evils today in the U.S., e.g., foreign aid, overseas alliances, low tariffs, the breadth of the President's treaty-making powers. His views, his youthful vigor and his name will make Herman a new rallying point for the Democratic Party's Southern wing. Says Georgia Political...
Acting as though they were discovering and uncovering a pile of dirty linen, four segregationist members of a congressional subcommittee last week launched a windy investigation into Washington's schools. It was no secret to anyone that the D.C. schools, which started integrating two years ago, were having their troubles. But the committeemen, headed by Georgia's Representative James C. Davis,* were clearly out to make a national noise about integration-and they made some noise...
