With them The sight of the Greek - col- ummned glycéum Building, the original college structure built in 1848, ringed by marshals who wore gas masks and carried a grostesque blend of battle equip- ment--that alone was enough to give the feeling of a bad dream.

Appearing perfectly at east,) he's quick with a smile for any well-wisher and gives a friendly wave to' people he knows in the courtroom. Standing five feet, seven inches and weighing 137 pounds, he seems at first glance to be an unlikely figure to go agains more than a century ofs egrega- tion tradition at the University of Mississippi. He tried three times in 10 days to enroll at the university and turned back another time because U.S. Attorney-General Robert Kennedy feared violence if Meredith and federal mar- shals ran up against a citizens' army massed on the campus. Federal marshals finally estab- lished him on the campus Sun- day night and a pitched battle followed. But the strain, undeniable as it is, doesn't show.

Only action by President Ken. nedy could halt the work stop-| page, other than immediate agreement on a new work con. tract, which seemed remote.
