unnecessary and therefore dam
gerous to the economy as q
whole. As the level goes lower
than $38 billion. one encounters
unacceptable risks. he asserted.
The first question the Presi-
dent was asked at the news
conference dealt with the
Soviet ICBM announcement,
A reporter wanted to know If
Mr. Eisenhower could tell the
American people anything
about our own missile Develop
ment.
Any answer. the President
began, must observe the limits
Of secrecy imposed by con-
sideration of the national
security.
Russians Evasive
The Soviet announcement
itself, he said. was more not
able for what it did not say
than for what it did say. And
about the future, the pro-
nouncement was most evasive.
Mr.. Eisenhower noted.
I'VE must first remember"
he cautioned reporters. that
Soviet leaders never make a.
statement without a purpose.
II don't know of any reason
to give any greater credence"
to this announcement than
others in the past. the Presi-
dent said, recalling that the
Soviet record for truthfulness
has not been outstanding.
Furthermore. the President
continued. there is a long dis
lance between testing and ac-
quiring the tactical use Of a
complicated weapon like the
ICBM.

as outlined by the Little Rock
Board Of Education in q 10
year program. The hope would
be that through conference
some plan for peaceful integra-
ton could be worked out.
2. The Federal Court, which
already has issued a broad in
junction to restrain interfer-
ence with school migration,
may bring about a trial for
contempt Of court-similar to
the trial in the Clinton, Tenn,
high school.
3. The Federal Government
may bring action to declare uii-
constitutional the anti-integra-
ton school laws adopted by
Arkansas. to which Gov. Fabius
referred in his order to the
National Guard. The opinion
at the Justice Department is
that these laws are unconstitu-
tional and easily so proven in
the light of the Supreme
Courts decision.
BrOwnelI Is Silent
Attorney General Brownell
withheld comment on the Ar
kansas school migration case.
No attempt is made to mini
mize the conflict between the
State and Federal Governments
Which apparently has arisen in
the Little Rock case.
One Of the items Of the in
curry by the Justice Depart
ment is to learn whether the
Governors action is entirely to
preserve order, or whether his
order to the National Guard
was based on a proposal TO pre-
vent school indignation.
The President indicated
strongly he expected the case
Of school indignation in Little
Rock to be settled peacefully.
He indicated that decisions re-
garding the course to be taken
by the Government must now
be outlined by Government
lawyers and the jurists.
He commented. too. that the
civil rights bill finally passed
by Congress expresses the re-
action Of the American people
toward the idea Of equal rights.
even though the bill does not
go as far as he proposed. Con-
gress limited the bill to voting
rights, as far as the Justice
is concerned, and
provided for limited jury trials
in criminal cases involving
persons accused to violating
court orders in that field.

Integration Called off
At School in Arkansas
Gov. Fuubus
Uses Troops

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. sept.
3 up. - Only white students
went to class at Little Rock
Central High School this
morning while about 200 white
adults stood outside the ring
of National Guardsmen placed
there last night by Gov. Orval
Faubus.
None Of the nine Negroes
scheduled to enter the 1000
pupil high school today showed
UP, apparently in compliance
with a school board request.
The board called of the sched-
uled integration early today
after the Governor ordered the
troops to the school grounds
last night. in effect hating the
planned race mixing.
Gov. Faubus told a television
audience last night that TO
maintain peace and order the
school had to remain uninte-
grated at least for the time
being.
Rebel Yells Heard
There were only two quiet
demonstrations from the crowd,
composed Of about 200 students
and as many adults. There were
no Negroes in sight although
a truckload of young Negroes
drove to within q block Of the
school and then left.
There was loud handclapping
and a few rebel yells when a
teen-aged boy unfuried Con-
federate flag. This is no gag"
he told a newsman.
Members Of the Capital citi-
zens Council distributed leaflets
among the spectators. The
leaflets were entitled what
Lincoln Said About Segrega-
tion." and a "P. S." at the end
included this sentence: 1--WE
Fan and viii abolish tax schools
II necessary"
Gov. Faubus had mentioned
in his speech that a massive
telephone campaign was under
way to enlist white mothers for
an assembly on the high school
grounds today and that motor
caravans were converging on
the capital city from other Sec
tons of the State. The Rev.
Corbett Mask of Benton, some
20 miles to the southwest, said
that he had brought about a
dozen" segregationsts with him
to the school.
Crowd Stands Quietly
About a dozen National
Guard jeeps and trucks were
parked bumper to bumper in
front Of the school and q half
track weapons carrier-with
the weapons removed-blocked
one street. A few Guardsmen
congregated across the street
from the crowd and others
were strung out along the q
block-long front of the builds
ing and two or more were sta
toned at each of the numerous
entrances.
The prowd stood quietly most
of the time.
Some 500 white students

minutes before classes were

morning. He said he has asked
the Attorney Generals ONCE
to investigate and expects de-
partment officials to discuss
the case with the Federal judge
who ordered indignation In ac-

four Western powers decided
today to continue disarmament
negotiations with Russia as
long as there is any possibility
the Soviets will show serious
intent to help end the world
arms race.
But it was expected gen.
orally that the talks in the
subcommittee Of the United
Nations Disarmament Commits
sion are in their last week
here. A shift to the full IL

York seemed likely.
Delegates Of the United

account Soviet criticism Of the

to the 11-point Western pro-
posal was taken to mean that
Moscow will not accept 1t as
q basis for agreement.
New Explanations Due
However, the Western four
decided TO ignore Mr.. Zorin's
comments and to offer new
explanations and arguments in
behalf Of their plan.
At the same time they
agreed to press the Russian
delegate to give a precise and
formal answer to their pro-
posals.

future.
Mr.. Eisenhower told q news
conference that appropria.
tons cuts voted by Congress
amounted to q real saving Of
only about 81 billion. He said
this is not enough to justify
tax reductions.
In calling for the help Of
consumers in trying to halt
the rising cost of living, Mr.
Eisenhower said he must "sor-
rowfully admit" that imitation
els today our major internal
problem"
Urges Care
While emphasizing that he
was not advocating q buyers
strike as such. he said Amer
leans must buy "selectfully and
carefully" to help keep prices
from going on up.
The President ruled out
direct Government controls on
prices and wages as ''in the
long run self-defeating."
He added that peacetime leg
islative controls on the economy
would lead to q different form
Of government that would be
centrally directed.
He stressed. however. that
the administration is marshall
ing all its influence to keep
unnecessary price rises from
occurring. He referred to none
tary actions by the Treasury
Department and the Federal
Reserve Board.
The Presidents remarks came
when a reporter said that II
had cost him q quarter more to

that grocery prices seem to be
up q penny or more every time
he goes shopping. The reporter
asked If any imitation controls
are being considered.

the President was asked about
