 Yes sir glad to hear you yes sir I'm always standing by and you always call me anytime thank you very much I wanted to give you a brief rundown of how busy you are the court as you know has ordered this march and of course it's not a limited march and we have very limited amounts of state policemen and they all the roads and we've had drunken drivers running in the people have killed them the last eight weeks not having any protection on the highways and these people are pouring in all over the country the hotels are all the cities are full and the hotels are the hotels going up double on the prices you know so we've got plenty of anti-flying in lawns and trees and we've got hundreds of bearded beatniks in front of my capital now and the point I'm making is that we're going to do the best we can but we hope that you might use your influence to at least make them have an orderly march because I don't know it looks like the group coming here with the language they're using they made a speech on the streets of our city two days ago and the James Bowman suggested in front of all the nuns and priests that if they anybody went in the cafe and they wouldn't serve them to kick the fucking legs of the tables off they all making that kind of in temperate remarks and inflates people you know but I'm going to I'm asking people that want to ask them to stay away from this highway to use your superior discipline and I'm going to do everything that I can but now all I want to say quite frankly is that they've been stirred up by a lot of things and of course I know you don't want anything to happen that looks like a revolution but if these people keep pouring in here and conducted themselves in the manner they are why it's going to take you it's going to take everybody in the country to stop something and I mean and they're also pouring in from other parts of the country I reckon on both sides well uh uh governor I uh the court has uh acted now and uh obviously the long of the march is postponed the greater the presence and the longer the people are outside you're going to stay in Alabama and the more problem you're going to have and the more problem I'm going to have and the more problem the country is going to have and uh I think it uh I think that your concern is justified and uh if uh if uh you can do anything to get that request for stay out of the way or so we don't have to sit here and wait days and days and days for that to be acted on while this stuff builds up and uh blows the cork out why it would be good and if uh if you'd call up your own guard they the conduct has been very good if you if you say your your patrolman got to go on back to watch the highway is you call up your own guard and into the service of the state and I would ask our best people to cooperate our defense department to provide a group of counselors advisors to work with them and I would uh if you uh wanted me to work with you and assure you that proper contingencies of uh men uh would be stationed at Craig and Maxwell and the event that uh the unlikely event they were needed and if the situation were to deteriorate we can't always anticipate uh maybe we'd have to federalize them but uh put them under a single command and the troops in Craig to Craig and Maxwell could be called in I would be glad to uh to take those steps if uh uh you felt that uh uh the orderly uh uh needs of uh of uh the situation there justified it and required it and maybe by all of us uh saying to them uh let's uh let's have the march let's get it over as soon as we can let's everybody stay at home at will and let's don't uh when you talk about revolution that uh that really uh that really upsets us all and we don't want to I know you don't and I know I don't and we just got to work together best we can to to see that we discharge our duties and I'm willing to do it if if this has me if this if this is what you want well let me say this Mr. President when I say revolution well I know I know what you mean that's that's uh I understand that I do have some revolutionaries down well I know that I understand that but uh and of course if I was a revolutionary I probably didn't buy in a quarter of a million people to come help us but of course I don't want to think like that at all I know I wanted to get through but the reason I don't want to be in the position of the enemy is that I'm asking for federal troops anything of that sort I just that uh hope that of course this spade was asked for the purpose is that I just don't see accidents of course we know the justice department this contact with the court down here but what we want to know is that after this march is over and we strain ourselves and beg our people that we don't have any trouble uh of course we've got some in there running that we have ministers down here that uh walk up and scratch the patrolman on the hands you know and they turn it around they will preach yesterday ask all the patrolmen what they're why we're doing that uh we're making some of their friends that have dates with their why you know we're trying to push back
