Former Governor Sid McMath disclosed yesterday that he had directed locally a "pressure campaign" for liberals of state and national reputation who opposed Governor Faubus' action in the school integration impasse.
The role played by McMath underscores the extent to which political and socio-economic forces have been involved during the period of crisis.
McMath was the man who first brought Governor Faubus into statewide political recognition. They were close friends for years but in recent months had drawn apart on ideological differences.
This relationship was not unknown in the powerful areas where public figures move to pull strings behind the scenes in great crises. Once the Little Rock issue became important nationally and internationally, the search was on for periphery figures who could pressure the "hard center." |
