Hodges Rops
Use Of Troops

RALEIGH. N. c. Aug. II
(AP).-Gov. Luther H. Hodges
says President Eisenhower is
too prone to use Federal troops

Gov. Hodges was discussing
with reporters at his news con.

decisions In the Little Rock
school indignation case. He
said Mr.. Eisenhower had I'M
piled he would use troops again,

latest Federal Court orders to
continue indignation Of Negro
children in Little Rock schools.
The Governor pointed to Mr..
Eisenhower's use Of troops last
fall to force indignation in Ar
kansas, and to the sending Of
troops to the Caribbean when
Vice President Nixon was beset
by rioters in Venezuela several
months ago.
Gov. Hodges said that II

Mr.. Schweitzer was followed

feel from an educational
standpoint, it is bound to be
harmful to the child, to the
school or to the school system
in the present climate in the
South to enter the Negro child
in a white school," commented
Judge Hoffman, adding, "If
that is the case, what is left
of the Supreme Court deci-
sion?"
Mr.. Brewbaker said he be-
lieved much could be done to
prepare the way for peaceful
desegregation, as was done in
Louisville, KY.

create a different climate" he
added.
He said the school admin

personnel work together.
At one point while Mr.. Brew
baker was discussing racial
tensions that have developed
in Norfolk and a lack of COM
munication between the races,
Judge Hoffman asked him:
IF your position is correct,
do you think the City of Nor
folk ever will be ready?"
Mr.. Brewbaker said much
progress had been made before
the Supreme Court decision,
and added "our big trouble is
on the adult level"

that this association stands
ready to assist them further in
pressing without delay and with
all legal weapons their rights
in the pending matter.
This association continues
to express as it has in the
past the belief that responsible
Negro citizens are willing to sit
down with responsible ofiicialS
in any locality to discuss ways
and means of implementing
the Supreme Court ruling.
Needless to say had you en-
ployed this cooperative effort
in 1857 instead Of initiating
unilateral action, the present
situation would not have de-
veloped."
At Little Rock, Gov Faubus
was asked last night for COM
ment on the telegram.
He said he hadn't seen it

81 (AP) State Judge Guy E.
Williams yesterday ruled valid
two segregation acts passed by
the 1887 Arkansas Legislature.
The said acts, on their face.
are not unconstitutional, !" Judge
williams said. The chancellor
added that there was no proof
to show that the laws will
necessarily result in a depriva-
ton Of constitutional rights"
One law set up the State
Sovereignty Commission de-
signed to protect Arkansas
from Federal encroachment."
The other requires certain
organizations, including the Ma
tional Association for the Adj
Vancement Of Colored People
to register with the Sovereignty
Commission and make periodic
reports on financing and other
activities.
Broad Powers In Act
Broad investigative powers
were given to the Sovereignty
Commission in the act which
established it. The law says
the commission shall have
power, in the name of the
State, to protect any and al
things deemed necessary and
proper to protect the SOW
ereignty of the State Of Arkan-
Sas, and her sister States. from
encroachment thereon by the
Federal Government or any
branch, department or agency
thereof :"
The act says the commission
can provide advice and legal
assistance to school districts
upon matters involving civil
or criminal litigation or other
wise, relating to the comingline
of races in the public schools
of the State :"
The case testing the validity
of the two acts was fled by

The message also declared:
ut is now the duty Of the

The telegram was In response

grafton. The organization de-

The text of the telegram:

toned the Eighth United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at St.
Louis for a stay of its Monday
order. This order called for
continued intesration at Gem
trail High.
Lemley Ruled Reversed
The appeals court reversed
a decision by United States Dis
trict Judge Harry J. Lemley
Of Hope, Ark, who on June FL
ruled the board could delay
indignation for two and a half
years.
The petition for q stay is
aimed at delay until the board
can place the question before
the United States Supreme
Court. Supt. Blossom said
preparation of the documents
for Supreme Court study will
require 10 days. The Supreme
Court, therefore. could not
reach a decision until after
September 2, when school
opens.
At st. Louis, the clerk of the
appeals court, Robert Tucker.
said the application for stay
was received this morning and
would be submitted to the
court.
Mr.. Tucker refused to say
whether one or all of the judges
would consider the application,
The court split, 6 to /. in over

State Representative Carroll
Hollensworth, a parliamentary
expert, said Gov. Faubus can

sion starts"
Speculation Over Action
Speculation on what the Leg
islature can do includes pas
sage of bills withdrawing State
aid from any integrated school,
or giving the Governor power to
close Central High, among
others.
Mr.. Hollensworth, who has
served longer than any other
House member, said, II would
like to introduce a bill to abol-
ish all school boards in the
State, with a special election
the following week so that the
people could re-elect the mem
bers or replace them, as they
choose"
Gov. Faubus and the Little
Rock board rarely have agreed
on integration matters.
Supt. Blossom and the school
board are seeking to sustain
Judge Lemley'S order for a 21a-
year delay.
Want Order Effective Now
Attorneys for the seven Ne
gros have urged the appeals
court to make the ruling effec-
tive at once so the Negroes can
be admitted when school starts.
Gov Faubus had demanded
last nights meeting with the
school board in an attempt to
learn in detail how it planned
to resist Indignation and
whether Negroes expected to
enter other white schools at
Little Rock this fall.
The Governor said it was a
very friendly and amicable
meeting" He added that the
board answered most of his
questions, but couldn't reply to
others because the board still
was considering them.
The Governor did not say
what the answers were.

A similar model Of beauty

So you're moving into a
spanking new house and you
don't want that "old stuff"
around any more.
A common reaction and a
natural one-but it's an atti-
tude with self-contained pitt
falls.
One of the joys Of moving,
and it's especially exuberant
when a new house is involved.
is the sloughing-off of useless
and unattractive household
impediments.
Coupled with this is the
anticipation Of acquiring new
furniture and furnishings
that will be in harmony with
the fresh interiors.
Before you start to discard.
however, it's advisable to
take an inventory. You may
be throwing away valuable
antiques or pieces you will
wish you had saved.
And, later, you may. find
yourself buying decorative
items not so much different
than those you so happily
threw away.

develop later, recall. If you

Too late, also, many per-
sons discover the beauty or
utility of an antique after
they have lost it.
In planning the decor OF a
new home, no matter how
starkly modern, consider for
a moment the versatility Of
some of the most popular
land tradeable) antique
pieces:
An old dry sink, sometimes
fancifully called a Welsh cab

roomy storage space in its

room in its well and shelf

ability.

Some Tip, on Finds

In cleaning out basement
and attic, amid accumula-
tons that might include
hand-me-downs and heir
looms, watch for these finds:
Almost anythiag made OF
pine-old chests. tables,
chairs. shelves, kitchen wood
enware, benches or wash
stands. Even though heavily
painted or vanished, many
such pieces can be cleaned.
They may find a useful place
in a recreation room or chill
dren's room.
Silver and pewter-tea sets,
spoons. tankards or incidental
pieces. Before you discard
them hastily, take cleaner and
polishing cloth to them, then
reappralSe the pieces IN their
fresh condition. Also. take a
good looks at the hallmarks;
perhaps they are more valu-
able than you realize.
China and glass--the un-
fortunate victims of many an
impulsive transplanter. Every
day, pieces of china and glass
for which an informal col
lector would pay q good price
vanish in the scurry of mod
ern civilization.
The number of such VIC
tins can only be dimly esti-
mated from the accounts Of
persons who can boast how
they saved treasures from
near-destruction.
When in, doubt. take the
