school segregation require the
closing OF any school where tn
tegration takes place. II the
community reopens the school
with race mixed. State school
funds automatically will be
withheld from that locality.
Almond Repeats Warning
Gov. Almond. who was elect
ed on q platform dedicated TO q
continuing night against inte-
grafton. called the Little Rock
ruling Giving proof that edu-
cation win be destroyed through
the mixing OF the races in the
public school system OF that
city"
He repeated his campaign
prediction that even a little In
tegration would destroy the
processes OF education.
Gov Almond was reached at
Hot Springs. Va. by the Asso-
ciated Press.
According TO dispatches. he
called the Little Rock ruling
most wholesome" but saw no
indication that the situation In
Little Rock would be any better
two years hence than 1t is now
"Stark Realities" Stressed
Gov. Almond said he felt the
situation in Virginia way more
difficult than the one confront
ing the authorities in Little
Rock and reiterated his deter
mination to resist to the utmost
any breakdown Of the school
racial barriers. He added:
Il think It is most wholesome
that Judge Harry J. Lemley has
evaluated the situation in con-
sideration Of the stark realities
of the tragedy which Federal
authority seeks to impose upon
a sovereign State.

Gov. John S. Battle said Judge
Lemley's ruling was "a ire

sion," the Associated Press re-
ported. Mr.. Battle, who repre-
scented the Charlottesville City

that the attitudes and habits Of

Continued From First Page
ton II the Negros were per-
mitted to return this fall.
The IA year -old Lemley
heard the case here June SIS.
In reaching his decision,
Judge Lemley wrote in a IS
page opinion:
THE importance Of MAIN
tanning education standards to-
day is certainly no less that it
has been in prior years; in fact
lit is more urgent. And while
the Negro students at Little
Rock have a personal interest
in being admitted to the public
schools on a nondiscriminatory
basis as soon as practicable,
that interest is only one factor
Iof the equation, and must be
balanced against the public
interest, including the interest
Of all students and potential
students
There is also another pub
lie interest involved, namely,
that of eliminating, or at least
ameliorating, the unfortunate
racial strife and tension which
existed in Little Rock during
the past year and still exists
there"
Exercise Of Good Judgment
Judge Lemiey said the grant,
ing Of the boards petition did
not constitute a yielding to
unlawful force or violence, but
was simply an exercise of
equitable discretion and good
judgment so as to allow a
breathing spell in Little Rock
and preserve educational stand
ards.
His decision was another
chapter in the Little Rock
crisis which began last Sep
TENDER when, on the eve Of
the first year of integration
at Central High School, Gov.
Faubus surrounded the school
with National Guardsmen.
On his orders, the State
troops turned back nine Negro
students who attempted to en-
roll at Central under a Federal
Court order approving a plan
for gradual indignation. Under
the plan. desegregation was to
commence at the high school
level, later in junior high
school and finally in elemen-
tary schools.
Gov. Faubus voluntarily with
drew the State troops in the
face of an order by United
States District Judge Ronald
N. Davies Of Fargo, N. OAK,
enjoining him and other State
officials from interfering with
court-decreed desegregation.
Forced Entry Led to Riot
Gov. Faubus' action in re-
moving the troops left the
protection Of the school to the
Little Rock police force.
Although the Negro students
successfully entered the school
under police protection Sept.
%, they were withdrawn the
same day because of a rioting
white crowd outside.
President Eisenhower the fol-
lowing day federalized the Ar
kansas National Guard re
moving the troops from COM
mand Of the Arkansas governor
and ordered combat troops
Of the l0lst Airborne Division
at Fort Campbell. KY. to Little
Rock to enforce the court order
for indignation.
Federalized National Guards

men remained at Central to
protect the Negroes through
out the school year-a period
marked by racial incidents in
the halls and threats to bomb
the big high school building.
Judge Lemley found that the
racial incidents plus the pres
ence Of troops was a disturb
ing influence and created "situ-
alton Of tension and unrest
among the school administra-
ton. the classroom teachers,
the pupils, the latter's parents"
Peoples Sentiment Noted
"The source of trouble" he
said, was the deep-seated pop
ular opposition in Little Rock
to the principle Of indignation"
He said that If the attend
ance Of Negro students at Gen.
trail were maintained during
the next school year. troop pro-
lection would again be needed.
Now. while troops can dis
perse crowds. and keep the
Negro students physically within
the school the presence of
troops cannot reduce or elimin-
ate racial tensions, or create a
climate that is conducive to
education" he wrote.
Judge Lemley emphasized
that the stay of indignation
would not deprive the seven
Negroes Of a good high school
education. He noted that the
quality of education Horace
Mann High School for Negroes
lis on a par with that at Central
High.
OF the nine Negroes who en-
rolled at Central last Septem-
Der, Minnijean Brown was ex-
PEELED and Ernest Green be-
came the schools first Negro
graduate May 20.
Minmjean entered the pri-
vate. interracial New Lincoln
School in New York under a
scholarship. Ernest plans to
continue his education at
Michigan State University, also
under scholarship.
Both Judge Lemley and
Davies were assigned here tenn
porarily to fill a vacancy on the
bench of the Eastern District of
Arkansas. Judge Lemley's home
courtroom is in Texarkana, Ark.
The Hope Judges opinion
was received by mail in the
district clerks Office here this
morning.
Members of the school board
met Judge Lemley's decision
with pleasure, segregationists
with caution.
Wayne Upton, board presi-
dent said, Il feel we made a
strong case and l am well
pleased with the results of the
hearing"
Mr.. Upotn. the school board
president, had told Judge Lem
ley in the hearing here this
month that the board had ar
rived at 2la-year delay based
partly on the premise that Gov.
