students arrived in an Army sta

has been the custom for the last
month. Fl
Under Soldiers Eyes
Three soldiers in the jeep and
driver of the Army station wagon
watched closely while the three
boys and five girls went up the
curved path the Negroes seemed to
walk a little more quickly than
when they were under guard.
On the steps, the Negroes passed
ten or twelve white students taking
in some morning air before class.
No incident occurred and no cat
calling could be heard. The Ne
groes, met at the entrance by an
officer, disappeared inside.
Six paratroopers of the 101st
Airborne Infantry and twenty-one
Federalized National Guardsmen
continue to patrol inside the school.
The scene was in contrast to the
morning of Sept. A, when the nine
Negroes had been screamed at and
cursed at by some students and
turned away by National Guard
troops acting on order of Gov.
Orval E. Faubus.
At about 7:45 A. M. today, one
of the Negro girl students, Thelma
Mothershed, had arrived at the
school in a private car and had
walked alone from the car to the
school.
Today was the twenty-second
day of integrated classes. It
marked a month since troops of
the 1O1st Airborne Infantry had
entered Little Rock to enforce the
Indignation ordered by the courts.
The only other time the Negro
youths had entered the high school
without the help of the Army was
on Sept. %, when they slipped in
by a side entrance while a mob
surged in front.
That was the Monday after Gov
ernor Faubus had removed his Ma
tional Guard troops in compliance
with a Federal injunction. At noon,
however, the Little Rock police re-
moved the Negroes from the school.
Meanwhile, Governor Faubus had
nothing further to say today on his
announcement yesterday that he
had not yet accepted back $500
National Guard troops removed
from Federal service this week. Yes
terday Mr.. Faubus had expressed
the opinion that the defederalized
guardsmen might be civilians and
that new National Guard might
have to be created. An aide said
today that Mr.. Faubus was still
studying the situation"
Still in Federal service are 1900
National Guard troops. President
Eisenhower had Federalized the en-
tire Arkansas National Guard on
the same day he had ordered the
paratroopers to Little Rock.
Mr.. Faubus did have comment
on the resignation yesterday of At
torney General Herbert Brownell,
Jr.
He said he hoped that Mr..
Brownell's resignation "means a
change in the attitude of the At
torney Generals office from poll
teal motivation to impartial en-
forcement of Federal law.
School officials reported that
400 of the 1868 students at Cen
trail High School were absent to-
day, mostly because of illness.
