Egypt Leaders Worried
By Red Arms Caches

The Egyptian regime of Pres
ident Canal Abdel Nasser is
concerned about its failure to
collect all the small arms that
were distributed at the time of
the British-French- Israeli in
vasion last November. according
to information here.
The United States shares
this concern because many of
the arms are reported to have
fallen into the hands of Com
munist groups in Egypt
President NasSer hastily
passed out rifles to minute
man" forces last November
when he was preparing for the
worst at the time of the Israeli
attack and the British French
movement against Suez.
Israeli propagandists reported
recently that he had distributed
"a million rifles and been able
to collect only 400, 900 of them.
That would leave 2 million still
in the hands Of the populace.
Washington sources discount
these reports. however, putting
the number of uncollected rifles
at closer to 100000 than 2 mil
lion. They have no accurate
estimate.
Their main concern. however,
is that Communist groups have
been the most active among
those retaining the small arms.

thinking, the participant quoted
Mr.. Brundage as saying.
Seven Governors Attend
Mr.. Eisenhower had been
criticized by Democrats after
the recent House defeat of a
huge Federal school aid bill.
The seven Governors. led by
William B. Stratton of Illinois,
spent two days scratching the
surface in seeking q start on
Mr.. Eisenhower's plan for de-
centralizing Federal functions
to the State level.
Mr.. Anderson said there was
"a general sense of agreement"
with the Governors that the
Federal Government could re-
linquish to the States its role
in several minor fields but that
more study would be needed
over the years on complex
issues.
To finance these programs at
the State level, the Joint "ac-
ton" committee seemed to
think that Congress could per-
haps give up a half billion
dollars a year in excise taxes
and possibly a portion of in
heritance and gift taxes.
The governors who sat in
with Mr.. Eisenhower's repre-
sentatives included Gov. Strait
ton, Lane Dwinell of New
H a mpshire, Gov. Leader,
George Docking of Kansas, Vic
tor E. Anderson of Nebraska,
Price Daniel of Texas and
Dennis Roberts of Rhode Is

Governors See
School, BUILDING
JAS State Task

HERSHEY, Pa. Aug. 10 up
"A governors committe to.
day urged the Eisenhower ad-
ministration to stay out Of
school construction and leave
that field exclusively to the
States.
The acknowledgements de.
mand took place just before
the close of a two-day con-
ference among a group OF
Federal aides and seven gov
errors. They discussed PreSi-
dent Eisenhower's proposal for
transferring some Federal
functions to the State level.
Secretary Of the Treasury
Anderson, chief spokesman
for the Eisenhower administra-
ton at the conference, con-
f1rmed the GOODNESS of the
governors toward Federal
school building aid.
Most of the governors have
expressed the feeling that the
Federal Government should
not engage in school construc-
tion." Mr.. Anderson told q
news conference.
Gov. Leader Dissents
At the same time, Mr.. Ander-
son said he would carry the
governors message back to the
President and lay the basis for
developing "a position that we
would discuss at a subsequent
meeting with the governors. +"
The single dissenting Gov
ernor on the proposition OF
keeping the Government out OF
school construction was George
M. Leader of Pennsylvania
The young Democratic chief ex-
ecutive is in the midst of a $3.50
million school building pro-
gram financed jointly at the
State and local level.
A conference participant who
declined identification said the
budget director, Percival Brun-
dage told the Governors that
their thinking on the school
construction problem was sig
'nif1cant.
There was a possibility that

The United States would, Of
course, profit from a resump-
ton of contact with the Bull
garian people. but there is not
much expectation that any sig
nif1cant commercial arrange
ments would be made. There
has been little trade between
the United States and Bulgaria
in the past.

The State Department brok
. mist Bulgarian government on
February 20, 1850, after the
Sofia government had made
''preposterous" charges of eS-
pionaga against the American
minister there, Donald R.
Heath.
Never Retracted
Sofia has never retracted
these charges and some such
action by Bulgaria might be
made a condition for resump-
ton of diplomatic relations.
The Bulgarian Premier, An
ton Yugov. threw out another
in a string of hints that his
country would welcome a re-
sumption of relations last July
20. In an interview with an
Associated Press correspondent.
Mr.. Yugov said his government
is for normal relations" with
the United States.
I'VE would welcome any
readiness on the part of the
United States Government ito
solve this problem" he sad.
There is now some readiness,
but retraction of the charges
against Mr.. Heath might be
made a precondition. Mr..
Heath is now the American
Ambassador to Lebanon.
Left-Handed Apology
Premier Yugov made what
some officials regard as a cleft
handed apology" for the Heath
episode in his interview late
last month.
1T must not be forgotten"
Mr.. Yugov said. that the meas
ure against the American min
lister plenipotentiary in Sofia
was taken at a moment when
the So-called cold war against
the countries of the Socialist
camp was in full swing"
State Department Press Off
Ger Lincoln White said last
July 20. just after the APP inter-
view was published, that he
knew nothing active at the
moment" on the question of
re-establishing relations with
the Bulgarians.
American passports are
stamped mot valid" for travel
to Bulgaria. but several news
men and Senator Malone. Re-
publican of Nevada, have
visited the country in recent
years.
Unrest Reported
Avery Brundage, the Ameri-
can president of the Interna-
tional Olympics Committee,
and several other Olympics
officials recently were given
special permission to 20 to
Sofia for a meeting of the IOC
scheduled for September 20.
There were reports of stu
dent and peasant unrest in
Bulgaria at the time of the
Hungarian revolution, but
these reports were not heard
after the rebellion was sup
pressed.
More recently there have
been reports of deportation of
Bulgarian citizens to the Soviet
Union. There is no reliable
estimate of the number de-
ported, but it is said to be in
the thousands.
There is said to be a serious
unemployment problem in Bull
garia, and Premier Yugov re-
Gently admitted that 10000 Bull
garian youths had been allowed
to go to the Soviet Union to
work and train" for later jobs
in Bulgaria.
Restrictions Heavy
The United States probably
would seek to avoid a repetition
Of the special restrictions which
the Bulgarian government
placed on Americans in Sofia
before 1850.

to police pressures and arrest

Subject: Request for legal
opinion.
The State Of anarchy con-
ceived, created and stirred by
Gov. Faubus presents the fol-
lowing problems to me as
mayor Of Little Rock:
A. The crowd continues to
remain congested in the streets
opposite the Central High
School. They are blocking
traffic. damaging property Of
adjacent property owners and
are serving no useful purpose
except a weak excuse for the
Governors continued defiance
Of law and order.
B. The citizens in the area
are complaining about the
damage being done to their
property and to their right to
the use and enjoyment of their
property.
c. The school board and its
superintendent are complain
ing that the crowd disturbS and
distracts the students from
their studies and promotes ten
sion and discord within the
student body.
D. The traffic in the area is
congested and the streets are
blocked. In addition, the pres
ence Of the crowd creates a
powder keg waiting to be ig-
nited by a planned incident.
E. The first basic principle in
the control Of riots taught at
all police and military schools
is to keep the crowd from
forming and congregating at
the scene of the controversy.
In violation of this funda-
mental rule, Faubus' troops
permit the crowd to gather
and congregate. thus main
tanning this explosive condi-
ton.
F. I recognize that the peo-
pie have q constitutional right
to freedom Of assembly. I be-
lieve that the preservation Of
the constitutional rights Of all
Of our citizens is one of the
primary duties Of every public
official. If the people who are
gathering and congregating al
Central High School desire q
meeting place. the city viii
make available the Robinson

ton, as Mayor and chief law

manner, the following day
August 30-Judge Davies null
lhled the State court order
and directed integration to pro-
coed on the first day Of school.
He then issued an Injunction
forbidding "all persons in any
manner. directly or indirectly,
from interfering with the plan
Of indignation as approved by
the United States District
Court"
Final Move Denied
Thus, the stage was set for
the drama played out last week
in front Of Central High School.
Only one legal maneuver re-
manned, and this one was ar
gued today before Judge Da-
vies. It requested the court
to grant q temporary delay in
indignation. The petition,
urged by the school board. was
denied.
In addition to the education
al and legal aspects Of the Lit
tie Rock crisis. there were quite
UNDERSTANDABLE some political
overtones.
Gov. Faubus, once an ex-
IRENE liberal and still general
ly considered-up to last week
to be conciliatory on the SUBJ
ject Of Indignation. turned al
most overnight into q symbol
Of die-hard segregation. Ex-
actly when the change Of heart
occurred Is, Of course, known
only to Gov. Faubus. But It is
significant that late in August
an important speech was made
here by an important southern
leader.
Marvin z. Grimm, Governor
Of Georgia, appeared before

The NAACP attorneys noted
an appeal, and last April 20
Judge Miller's decision was up
held by the Eighth Circuit
Court Of Appeals in st. Louis,
Mo.
Thus. the decks were cleared
for augmentation Of the Bios
som Plan ct the start Of the
fall term this year.
The NAACP, still unhappy
over the gradualism Of the plan,
found itself with its hands tied.
Committed as q matter Of pol
icy to support of the correct
ness Of court rulings in school
matters. the NAACP in effect
admitted defeat and stopped
maneuvering.
There were other elements in
the State, however. who were
not committed to accepting
Federal court rulings as law,
and who thus did not feel their
hands were tied.
Among these were groups.
more or less newly formed, with
names such as Capital Citi-
zens Council" and League Of
Central High Mothers"
Last Minute Action
It was the latter organization
which late in August made q
last minute move to block in
tegration through court action.
In q class action for herself and
other parents, Mrs. Clyde
Thomason, recording secretary
of the League. filed suit for
injunctive relief in Pulaski
County Chancery Court. This
court is in effect the civil divi-
sion of the State court system
in Little Rock County.
Chancellor (Judge) Murray
O. Reed ruled in favor Of Mrs.
Thomson on August 20. and
ordered the Little Rock School
Board not to integrate white
and Negro schools (which had
previously been maintained ex-
clusively for white children. +"
Some legal-eagles noted that
Chancellor Reeds ruling left
the status Of Hall High School
up in the air since, being brand
new, it had never previously
been maintained exclusive for
anyone. But this was q moot
point, because no Negroes had
been assigned to Hall High.
Chancellor Reeds legal posi-
ton in effectively overriding
the decision of q Federal APP
pellate court did not seem 70
be too sound. But he took it
anyway after hearing testi-
mony by Governor Faubus that
Indignation now would lead to
violence. Superintendent Bios
som did not agree.
Court Rulings at Odds
The situation. previously
seemingly well jelled. was now
fluid again, with q State court
ruling one way and the Fed
eral system ruling the other.
School district attorneys i'm

in Federal District Court-and
purely by chance came up be-
fore the one Yankee judge in
about so Federal jurisdictions
in the South. He was Judge

vacant bench Of the Eastern

the Capital Citizens Council
and told the segregationist
group that there is no inte-
grafton in Georgia and there
isn't going TO be any"
Two Governors Meet
After the speech-which Gov,
Faubus did not attend-the
two chief executives got to-
gether at the Executive Man
sion here. After their meeting,
Gov. Faubus said that as q re-
suit of Gov. Griffins speech,
People are coming TO me and
saying that II Georgia doesn't
have integration. why does Ar
kansas have to have It."
It was not long after this
that Gov. Faubus announced a
survey Of public opinion and
q startling trade statistic. The
survey, he said. without pro-
ducing figures to substantiate
It, showed the vast majority OF
people in Little Rock opposed
to intergration.
The trade statistic cited by
the Governor-again without
any publicly released documen-
tation-indicated an upsurge
in the sale Of knives and fire-
arms to both whites and Me-
groes in the State capital.
Guard Il Mobilized
II was to preserve public or
der that Gov. Faubus modified
the National Guard and de-
clared the City Of Little Rock
in q state of emergency
Later Gov. Faubus admitted
that the purpose Of ringing
Central High with troops was
to keep Negroes from attending
the school.
Faced with this situation
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-08

the Little Rock School Board
and the city's Mayor, Woodrow
Wilson Mann, acted in two diff
ferent ways.
The school board said that
Sin view Of this situation we ask
that no Negro students attempt
to attend Central or any other
white high school until this
dilemma is legally resolved"
Mayor Mann angrily charged
Gov. Faubus with creating a
crisis where none had existed.
interfering with the internal
affairs Of the city Of Little
Rock, and "interposing" the
State power between the legal
decree Of a Federal Court and
the people Of the city. A cross
was burned on the mayors
front lawn the following day.
Indignation Proceeds Elsewhere
Meanwhile. IN other Arkansas
towns. indignation was going
on withou incident. In two Of
these places, Van Buren, and
Ozark, Negroes were going to
white schools for the first time.
In another, Hoxie, Negroes
we're returning for a second
year.
One Of the best known
kibitzers on the subject Of
Indignation. John Kasper, was
making off-stage noises as the
Little Rock drama developed.
Kasper. who caused the trouble
at Clinton. Tenn. last fall and
was convicted Of criminal con-
tempt after q sensational trial
last July. said he was thinking
OF visiting Van Buren, and
Ozark. He said he would not
bother with Little Rock because
the situation here was being
handled admirably by Gov.
Faubus--handled in a way,
Kasper said, that every Amer
lean should be proud Of"
Though there was no con-
firmation Of this. it was widely
reported that the real reason
Kasper was staying out Of
Little Rock was that the city
authorities here had promised
him q warm reception II he
set foot inside the city limits.
