President's press secretary replied with a flat when asked if there has been any change in the chief position as a result of the Little Rock Ark integration crisis The question arose at a Newport White House news conference in the light of' widespread specula tion over steps the federal govern ment might rake to enforce a US district court integration order which Arkansas Gov Orval au bus has defied Eisenhower has urged aubus who called out National Guard troops to block integration to the court decision The President also told aubus he himself would use every' legal means at his command to uphold the law Hagerty was reminded today of a statement Eisenhower made during Senate debate on the civil rights bill when Southern oppo nents of the measure were tending it opened the way for use of federal troops to force cial intermingling The President replied at time: "I imagine any of circumstances that would ever induce me to send federal troops the situation is the exact opposite of what civil rights bill opponents that it is a state govern ment not the federal government which has resorted to force in an integration dispute The troop controversy in the Senate led to Congress' striking out of the civil rights bill a refer ence which allowed the use of federal forces Eisenhower is flying back to Washington tomorrow for a meet ing with Atty Gen Brownell on the Little Rock crisis Hagerty declined meanwhile to comment on latest tele gram to the President and added he know whether the Presi dent would respond to it aubus offered to tell the BI certain information which he
