what the corporation planned
to do next.
Shortly after DR.. Raney read
q statement to newSmen, tall
bespectacled school guard tried
to keep the 4-by-6-foot sign
from being placed on the Cen
trail, campus.
A brief struggle ensued and
the workman who tried to erect
the sign started to leave, but
an employee Of Central came
out and told the guard. He is
supposed to put it up"
The sign was replaced on the
campus.
The only girl among the few
students who appeared at Gen.
trail stood in the rain for a
while then departed, saying,
II think its terrible. We, just
want to go to school,"
Must Wait, He Says
Herschel Goodman, one of
the corporation directors, said
"it's like a chess game. We
made our move. They made
theirs. Now all we can do is
wait"
Federal marshals clouded the
plan to reopen the schools as
private segregated institutions
when they famed out over the
city last night serving scores Of
persons with copies of the re-
straining order issued by the
two judges at Omaha.
The order instructed all per-
sons connected with the private
school plan not to take further
action to transfer possession,
control or operation, directly
or indirectly" Of Little Rock
schools.
1t also forbade altering the
status quo of the senior high
schools insofar as their inte-
grated status is concerned. "
Planned to Open Schools
The order came a few hours
after the school board had
turned the four high school
buildings over to the Little
Rock Private School Corp. and
plans were in the mill to open
the schools today.
The judges made their rul-
ing retroactive to last Thurs
day after Justice Department
Attorney Donald MacGuineas
said the school lease had been
executed in haste to complete
action before the hearing.
The retroactive clause APP
parently was aimed at multi
flying any legal advantage
sought by the quick transfer.
Teachers were advised yes
terday by their attorneys not
to take any part in the oper-
alton of the high schools by a
private group.
Copies of the restraining
order were served later by Fed
eral marshals on teachers and
others connected with the
schools.
Order Read to Faubus
Marshals tried TO serve a
copy on Gov. Faubus. They
we're unable to get past guards
at the gates Of the Governors
residence.
United States Marshal r.
Beal Kidd said Gov. Faubus
telephoned him later and Mar
shall Kidd read the court order
to him. The marshal said that
would be sufficient and there
would be no need to serve the
Governor in person.
The restraining order is In
force until next Monday, when
a three-judge panel Of the
United States Eighth Circuit
Court o. Appeals will meet in
st. Louis to hear the case for
a temporary injunction.
The order was issued by JUS
tees Harvey M. johnson and
Joseph w. Woodrough after
NAACP attorneys Wiley Bran
ton of Pine Bluff, Ark, and
Thurgood Marshall of New
York appeared before them.
Judge johnson said he and
Judge Woodrough no doubt
would be part of the three-man
panel. Judge Archibald Gard
ner, Huron, S. D., presiding
Judge of the 9th Circuit Court,
will name the third member.
The temporary injunction
would remain in force until the
general school transfer issues
are disposed of as part of a
case initiated in Arkansas ear
lier this month.
Paragraph Emphasized
Judge johnson said all yes
terday's order is attempting to
do is to maintain the status quo
