Huge Riot
MONTGOMERY, A1¡B. (AP)-A
large .task force of Ü.S. marshals
was ordered^ riot-torn Montgom-
ery Saturday after a racially mix-
ed "ífcéedom ride" touched off a
biaodv mob uprising.
Rioting .continued around the
Grieyhound bus station for nearly
two hours before the savage white
mob—numbering Close to 1,000 at
times — was broken" up with tear
pas- by state and city police.
The racial violence, which erupt-
ed and subsided three times, left '
at least 20 persons battered and
bloody, including an official of the
Justice Department in Washington.
John Seigenthaler, 32, a repre-
sentative or the attorney general,
was slugged from behinfj as he
struggled to help a besieged white
girl — one of the "freedom-riders'*
—being chased by. angry white
men. Seigenthaler was taken to a
hospital with a.cut behind his ear.
He was reported in good condi-
tion.
A few hours after the angry
v. hite mob attacked the bus riders
the federal Koveroment announced
it was sending more than 400 offi-
cers to Alabama to prevent fur-
ther violence.
Alabama's Gov. John M. Pat-
terson. responding angrily to the
federal intervention, declared "we
need no help from the federal gov-
ernment and have riot requested
their help. The federal government
has no constitutional right to in-
tervene unless we ask thelc assist-
ance. • /
"No one regrets more than T
what happened today in the city
of Montgomery. But. the fact re-
mains that state highway patrol-
men responded in force seconds
after they were called. Within five
minutes, we had 65 state patrol- ;
r.ien on the scene. Officers restor-
ed order quidfly, and we have the
situation under firm control."
Within an instant after the Grey-
hound bus load of white and Negro
voufhs testing bus station color
barriers -arrived at the downtown
terminal from Birmingham, the
mob surged forward and pounced
on the. group.
Seigenthaler and other bySUnd-
eis also were pummeled to the
ground. Among them were at least
four out-of-town reporters and pho-
tographers attempting to film thi
rioting. Some photographers lost
their cameras, some of them
smashed.
Before the violence subsided, *
Negro* and eight white persons, in-
cluding a. woman, were taken to
