Page "Edwin Walker" Paragraph 4

At the same time, however, Walker repeatedly protested to President Eisenhower that using Federal Troops to enforce racial integration over States ' Rights was against his own conscience.

So, although Walker obeyed orders and successfully integrated Little Rock High, he also turned more politically toward right-wing literature and radio programs, including that of segregationist preacher, Reverend Billy James Hargis, and H. L.

Hunt, whose right-wing radio program, Life Line was the launching platform for Dan Smoot.

The main teaching of all these rightists in 1957-1959 was the same as that of the late Senator Joseph McCarthy, i. e. that Communists controlled key portions of the US Government and the United Nations.
