day stay Of indignation granted
by the Eighth United States
Circuit Court of Appeals in
st. Louis. Another brief will
be filed later seeking to sustain
a district court delay of az
years, which the NAACP also
seeks to remove.
The response pointed to the
21a-year ruling, and said, sit
is reasonable to presume that
by the end Of the requested
2h-year period conditions
should be clarified. 1t is
reasonable to presume that
/. a national policy viii have
been established. BY then State
laws will have been tested

highly emotional atmosphere,
which has proven conducive to
violence, should have subsidized.

confronting them and, conse-
quently, the direction in which
the solutions lie."

A flood Of segregation bills

But it was fully apparent
that the Governor possesses

Supt. Blossom said the school
board had not consulted either
Gov. Faubus or legislators in

Formosa. One paper said two
pilots had detected and
another paper said eight. The
Defense Ministry spokesman,
Rear Admiral Lui Hob Tu,
fatty denied the reports but
rumors persisted that some
thing had happened which au-
thorities found inexpedient to
disclose.
With the United States 7th
Fleet already on the sIert. a

from the 80 Marine Division
was ordered to sail from Singa-

four attack transports and

to Formosa.
The It'll Fleet is pledged to
protect Formosa but not neces-
Sarily Quemoy or the offshore

said close watch was being kept
on the Stepup in the Communist
attack.
Mai. Gen. Thomas F.. Moor
man, commander of the United
States 18th Air Force based in
the Philippines, visited Formosa
for talks with top Nationalist
and United States military as
siStance officers.
Island Seizure Feared
Nationalist authorities were
paying increasing attention to
the possibility that the Com
munists would try to seize
Tungting Island, II miles south
of Quemoy. The Defense Mini
iStry said two Red attempts
Sunday to land troops on the
tiny, rocky island were repulsed
by Nationalist warships or
cialS suspected, however. tina;
the Communists might net have
given up.
Tungting is used by the Ma
tionalistS to keep tab on ships
trying to sneak out of Annoy,
the Communist port opposite
Quemoy, so Nationalist war
ships can be alerted to inter.
cept them. Its capture would
help the Reds evade National
list blockades. The island is

But we found we could not

decided to do other plays occa-
sionally, STIMULATING they must

Pioneers Struggle
Such play was "A Fistful
Of Earth" by Wayne r. Over
holster. It is q story Of the
pioneers struggle to establish
our country. with e m p basis
upon the faith Of our FORE
fathers in their uphill effort.
Faith is obviously q sustain
ing characteristic of The Play
houses actors and actresses, for
they have had to overcome
many obstacles since first or
ganizing in 1855 at Franconia,
Va. and recognizing here in
December, 1856.
The mere physical job of pro-
ducing Q play in the former
parish hall. a white frame
structure in the heart Of Nc
Lean, presented problems.
The stage was too small and
needed q complete renovation.
Luckily. q member learned that
one Of the old barracks at Fort
Myer was being torn down. The
group bought the structure for
81 and spent the latter part Of
1856 tearing it down and bring
ing the lumber to the parish
hall. The present stage floor
is made Of this lumber and so
are some parts Of different sets.
Other Obstacles
Heating the hall during the
winter. setting up proper light
ing equipment and installing q
fine sound system were among
the other obstacles to be over
come.
Everyone Of the % members
doubles in the work. In the
present production Of Jesus,
