OR Pres 4 MM owsW; i 3a i kvr- 1 II ident Eisenhower Saturday indirectly accused Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus of encouraging "mobs of extremists to flout the orders of a federal-court" And the President said it would have been "tantamount to ac- encc in anarchy and would have resulted in "dissolution of the union" If he had not ordered troops into Little Rock to quell violence. Eisenhower set forth his views in a telegram to Sen. Russell (D-Ga), who had accused the troops sent to Little Rock of high hand ed tactics reminiscent of Hitler's Nazi storm troopers.

On that point, the President told Russell, in replying to the senator's protest: IKE REPLIES "I must say that I completely fail to comprehend your comparison of our troops to Hitler's storm troopers. In one case military power was used to further thej ambitions and purposes of a ruthless dictator; in the other to preserve the Institutions of free gov-crnment." In sharp criticism of how the Arkansas state government handled the situation in Little Rock prior to the call-out of federal troops, Eisenhower did not men- tion Faubus by name. But there was no mistaking that the criti I A 7- ter (AP Wlrephotos) Adm. Charles R. Brown (right) ordered U.S.

Charles R. Brown ordered American jet intercep tors rnursaay to snoot aown with Sidewinder missiles a possible hostile aircraft over the U.S. 6th Fleet. The plane escaped to Communist Bulgaria before U.S. Navy delta wing Skyrays could catch it.

An unidentified plane believed to be Russian flew over American amphibious forces massed in Turkey's Saros Gulf at midday on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-- day. It came in at high altitude from the direction of Bessarabia, across the Black Sea along the Romanian and Bulgarian coasts, across the isthmus of Turkey and over the invasion fleet massed for a NATO exercise only 30 miles south of Bulgaria. The plane turned north and crossed Greece before returning to Bulgaria. OVER 35,000 FEET The 6th Fleet took no action on the first three days, although the plane was detected on radar and by jet trails. The plane was be lieved to be on a photographic mission.

It flew higher than 35,. 000 feet. On Thursday, the twin jet swept-wing aircraft came in very low, at an estimated speed of 600 miles an hour plus, again at about midday. It was not detected by radar this time, but flashed over the amphibious force and was seen by several qualified officers. Adm.

Brown, the 6th Fleet com mander, radioed to Rear Adm uimora H. uuerleldts carrier force 100 to 200 miles away "a possibility hostile aircraft is ap proaching your -area. If it men aces your formation use Side winders to prevent photography." 'ALERT-ONE' ORDERED Sidewinders are slender, air-to- air missiles carried beneath a plane's wines. They have homing devices and are armed with con ventional high explosives warheads. Commanders of the three car riers in the 90-ship fleet ordered an which means jet fighters must be ready to take off immediately.

One of the pilots ready on catapults to blast off said later: "I was prepared to fire the first shot in World War III." The plane veered away, how ever, before reaching the carriers. NO OFFICIAL COMMENT The Skyrays already aloft tried to intercept the plane but no con tact was made and no shots were fired. Many officers and several civil ians saw copies of Adm. Brown's order, but Brown declined offici ally to confirm or deny such a message was transmitted. Brown refused permission for correspondents to file the story through Navy communications, but said they were at liberty to do so by other means.

There was some question whether the American fleet would have the legal right to shoot down a plane menacing it, even though the plane violated Turkish and Greek territory.

Seaton said Saturday. Public ownership will meet the major problems, he said, but if any reasonable alternative" to public ownership cm be found, it should be explored.

Seaton said that conservation of the reservation timber is "of pri mary import to the economy of the area and to the welfare of the public generally." He said the government wants sustained yield and at the same time wants to protect the Indians rights. Federal trusteeship over the reservation is scheduled to end in August of 1960. The Indians then will have the right to withdraw the cash value of their tribal assets which con sist mainly of huge stand of pine. The termination act means, in essence, that the Indians shall be placed in the same status as all other citizens, seaton said. But he said that management specialists will be bound to ob tain the greatest amount of money possible for the Indians if they sell the timber.
