20 years.
Dead Of asphyxiation and

Miss Lyons was found on the

by firemen summoned by next

smoke about $50 am.
Extensive Damage
The fire was one of four that
caused extensive damage and
critically injured two other
persons in the Washington
area curing the night.
The blaze which killed Miss
Lyons was extinguished in a
few minutes. But it was too late
to save the large. friendly
woman who played foster
mother to all the children of
the community and helped her
adult neighbors with their
problems.
Only last year the children
who lived around her scraped
together enough money to buy
her a wrist watch, which she
didn't need. but which she
treasured among her fondest
possessions.

$50 Mothers
Urge Closing
Of School
BY CECIL HOLLAND
star star correspondent

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept
28.-Gov. Orval E. Faubus said
today he was giving considera-
ton to all possibilities of bring
ing about the withdrawal OF
Federal troops here and one OF
these is a special session OF
the Arkansas Legislature.
The Governor also said he
would favor closing embattled
Central High School If il
would mean the end Of what
he called the Federal occu-
patton"
Gov. Faubus made these COM
ments in an informal news con-
ference on the front lawn Of

But beneath the outward

the indignation were far from

Word Of Hope on Troops
And there was no indication
whatever Of how long the troops
would remain here. Secretary
of Defense Wilson expressed
the hope in Washington they
would not have to stay much
longer. That hope was shared
here by Army officers and civil

would be realized.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. a.
President Eisenhower today in
directly accused Arkansas Gov.
Orval E. Faubus Of encourag-
ing mob violence that COM
PEELED him to send Federal
troops to Little Rock.
Without mentioning the Gov
ernor by name, the President
spoke bitterly of actions by
the State of Arkansas which
he asserted:
/. Sought to Illustrate the
orders of a Federal Court
for racial indignation at Little
Rocks Central High School.
2. Encouraged "mobs Of ex-
tremiStS" to flout the court
orders.
3. Failed to protect Negro
children in exercising their
court defined constitutional
right to attend Central High
School.
Required to Take Action
In this situation, the Presi-
dent said, his oath of office re-
quired him to take action TO
give that protection"
Failure to act in such a
case" he said. would be tanta-
mount to acquiesence in an
archy and the dissolution of the
union"
In Little Rock, Gov. Faubus
had brief but pointed COM
ment on the Eisenhower
statement.
When anyone is in trou-
Bile. he looks for a scape-
goat" the Governor said.
Asked if he considered that
Mr.. Eisenhower was in trou-
Bile. as the result of sending
troops to enforce integra-
ton in Little Rock, Gov.
FaubuS said he would leave
that to others to say.
Asked if he considered he
was being used as a scape-
goat" the Governor replied:
1T is possible"

forceful explanation of his
stand in the Little Rock con-
troversy came, in reply to a
telegram from Senator Russell.

ing what the Senator called
"high-handed and illegal" ac-
tons by the soldiers in Little
Rock.
While addressed to Senator
Russell. the Presidents tele-
gram obviously was aimed pri-
marily at Gov. Faubus.
1t seemed to be Mr.. Eisen-
hower's way of replying to a
television speech by the Gov
ernor Thursday night which.
while counselling peace and
calmnesS. called the use of
Federal troops in Little Rock
ill advised and unwarranted."
Blames Guard Intervention
The President said there is
little doubt" that school in

achieved smoothly and quiet
ly" in Little Rock if it had been
permitted to proceed without
intervention of the Arkansas
National Guard.
Until enjoined from doing so
by the Federal court In Little
Rock last Friday, Gov. Faubus
had used the National Guard
to keep Negro children out of
Central High instead of to pro-
tect them in entering it. The
Governor claimed this action
was necessary to prevent vio-
lence.
