The Supreme Court today let

schools in Dallas.
Twenty-seven Negroes who on
September S. 1855, were not per-

asked the United States District
Court in Dallas for an injunc-
ton requiring admission at once.
The District Court dismissed the
request as prematurely filed.
The United States Circuit
Court in New Orleans last May Is
reversed the Dallas court and
told it to hold a full hearing on
the Negroes protests. Counsel
for the school district then APP
pealed to the high tribunal to
review the case. The appeal said
the district officials were COM
plying with Supreme Court d.
rections in trying in good faith
to work out a solution to the
problem.
The appeal also protested that
the majority opinion of the cir
cult court implied that it could
be assumed school officials would
not follow the law as laid down
by the Supreme Court in the
school segregation decisions of
May II, 1854. and May 81, 1855.

Eisenhower Hit
By Polish Paper
For 'Interferinq'

LONDON, Oct. % R.-The
Polish Communist newspaper
Tribuna Ludu accused President
Eisenhower today of interfering
in Poland's affairs and rebuffed
his expressions Of sympathy for
the Polish peoples yearnings for
liberty and independence.
At the same time the news
paper said it favored having
Poland receive economic assist
ance from the United States
"but with no political strings
attached"
The article, broadcast by War
saw radio, said:
I'VE should like to stress
that his position as chief of a
great power does not entitle
Eisenhower to interfere in the
internal affairs of smaller states.
IF there is some one simple
minded enough to imagine that
the changes in Poland indicate
a new orientation in our foreign
policy then he is deeply mis-
taken.
Our alliance and friendship
with the Soviet Union. based on
the theological unity of our par
ties, on the complete equality of
our states and on the full solid
arity Of our peoples was. is and
will remain the cornerstone of
our policy. This matter has been
settled once and for all, regard
less of any election date in the
United States"
