School Rolls
Rise 10 Record
1O7,92O Here
Corning Predicts
Totol of 10000
BY Next Month
BY JOHN McKELwAY

EnrollmentS in District ele-
mentary, junior and senior high
schools have climed to a record
107,920. School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning announced today.
Last years total enrolment
was l05.946.
He added the predicted total
enrolment of 10000 should be
reached by next month.
He released these figures:
Elementary schools this year,
70.777: last year, 68,420.
Junior high schools this year,
1s,607: last year. 2O,301.
Senior high schools this year,
1880; last year, 1902.
Level on in October
DR.. Corning said enrollments
in elementary and junior high
schools will continue to grow
until October, the leveling on
month. Senior high schools
should remain about the same.
Vocational schools show an
increase. There were 2.166 last
year compared to an enroll
ment Of 2.595 this year.
Firm enrolment figures are
arrived at in the third week Of
October. A racial breakdown
is included. The October en-
rollments represent the basis
for school budget justiflcations
as well as a point from which
projections for the following
school year are made.
DR.. Corning estimated there
will be about so part-time
classes in elementary schools
but stressed such classes are
still being worked out.
High school enrollments at
CardoZa, Thirteenth and Cliff
ton streets NV; at Roosevelt,
Thirteenth and Upshur streets
NV. and at Armstrong have
fallen Of.
Linked to RedevelOpment
DR.. Corning said Cardozo's
drop in students is probably tied
up to redevelopment activities
in the Southwest, where FAM
lilies have been moved to South
east and Northeast Washington.
His explanation for the drop
at Roosevelt was that "a num-
Der of families have undoubt-
edly moved out Of the area"
Increases in enrollments have
been measured ut both Western,
Thirty fifth and a streets NV,
and at Wilson High School,
Nebraska avenue and Chesa-
peake street NV.
Dr.. Corning said there was
no indication Of any marked
shift in the city's population
outside of the redevelopment
process in Southwest.
The possibility that ARM
strong High School, First and
o streets NV. might eventual
ly face closing because of q
marked drop in enrolment was
discussed by the superintend-
ent.
Loses 100 Students
Armstrong has lost some 100
students. for a total enrolment
of 436 so far this year. The
capacity Of the building is about
$50 and last year the school
had about 500 students.
DR.. Corning said he could see
no immediate chance the school
might be closed. but added, If
enrollments continue to fall, he
would have no other choice.
The school is presently OPP
Grated on a city-wide basis for
students mainly interested in
shop courses. School officials
have plans to build up shop
facilities at the school and link
it enthusiastically with Dunbar
High School, few blocks away,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept.
II. Events in this strife
ridden capital city of 10000
seemed headed for a showdown
on the school integration front
today.
Though no reports from offi-
cial sources substantiated it,
there was a general feeling
among highly placed unoficial
persons that a break was immi-
nent. possibly as early as to.
morrow and probably before a
Federal court hearing SEIZED.
uled for 10 am. (CST) Friday.
Little Rocks Central High
School has been protected
from indignation since Septem-
Der 8 by a Gordon Of National
Guard troops ordered there on
Labor Day by Gov. Orval z.
Faubus. ostenSibly to prevent
violence but also to keep Negro
students away. A break in the
situation was bound to come
when and If the Guard is re-
moved.
Predicted FIatly
Sid McMath, former Governor
Of Arkansas and a foe of Gov.
Faubus. predicted fatty today
that Wednesday would be the
day of decision. Other Little
Rock civic leaders expressed q
similar belief.
Meanwhile, Representative
Brooks Hays. Democrat Of Ar
kansas, continued his efforts as
peacemaker. Mr.. Hays, who
brought together Gov. Faubus
and President Eisenhower in a
meeting last Saturday at New
port, r. l., met with Gov. Eau.

Immediately visited Gov. Fau-
bus at the executive mansion.
Somebody Has to Give"
Events have to move swift
er now" Mr.. Hays said on his
arrival. THE hope of the peo-
pie of the country just can't be
frustrated. A decision cannot
be postponed much longer.
Somebody has to give"
Asked. who will give, the
Governor or the Government"
Mr.. Hays replied:
Maybe both of them will
have to give a little" Refus-
ing to elaborate, Mr.. Hays then
went to see Gov. Faubus.
Before his meeting with the
Governor this morning, Mr.,
Hays breakfasted with Little
Rock School Supt. Virgil T.
Blossom. Mr.. Blossom is the
chief architect of the minimal
indignation plan under which
Central High was to be inte-
grated.
Neither Mr.. Hays nor Mr..
Blossom would comment on
