...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.
