for the 9th Circuit (St. Louis)
of August 10 must be affirmed
That was the decision setting
aside Judge Lemley's 2la-year
stay order.
Today's proceedings took less
than five minutes. The nine
Justices appeared at 1911,
Chief Justice read the decision
in calm tones, emphasizing
only the words effective i'm
mediately."
The courtroom was less
crowded than yesterday when
the final oral arguments were
presented. Attorney General
Rogers was seated in the space
reserved for the justices fam
lilies.
Hundreds in Corridors
A crowd of several hundred
waited in vain in the corridors
outside.
The promise of an EXPIRES
sion Of views" meant that an
opinion or opinions of men,
bers of the court giving forth
their reasoning by which they
arrived at today's decision
would be handed down later
The views may clarity what
the court meant when it said
integration must proceed with
"all deliberate speed" in 1865,
Justice Warren indicated the
reason for issuing today's de-
cision before the opinions are
ready when he declared that:
I'm view Of the imminent
commencement of the new
school year we deem II
important to make a prompt
announcement"
The decision could signal a
new clash over Federal versa:
States powers.
Thurgood Marshall. attorney
for the National Association
for the Advancement of ColoreC
People, interpreted the decision
as clear warning against de-
ilance by segregationists.
I'VE assume that with this
clearcut judgment the legal
atmosphere surrounding Gen.
trail High School is now cleared
up, and neither the school board
nor the Governor, nor any
one else in Arkansas, can even
pretend not to know what the
law is" Mr.. Marshall told re-
porters.
Anything now done to pre-
vent desegregation in Arkansas
is in open defiance of the law
he added.
Butler Disappointed
Richard c. Butler. attorney
for the school board, sounded
somewhat conciliatory when he
told reporters:
I'VE are very disappointed in
the decision of the court, but
we will continue trying to adjust
conditions in Little Rock, inso-
far as it is within the province
Of the school board to do so
to the laws of the land"
Mr.. Butler, who pleaded the
cause of the Little Rock School
Board both on August % and
yesterday, added that the de
cision was not unexpected by
US"
Virgil c. Blossom, superin-
tendent of the Little Rock
schools, told reporters he did
not know whether or not Cen
trail High School would be re-
opened on Monday morning, in
accordance with the courts de-
ciSion.
1T seem to me that will be
dependent on the Governors
action" he observed.
He said that he himself will
make no recommendations un-
til he talks with the school
board.
The heart of the tribunals
action was its affirmation of
the decision of the Eighth Cir
cult Court.
That court had reversed the
decision by Federal Judge Lem
ley which had granted a delay
in school indignation until the
1861 school term. The Eighth
Circuit ruling had the effect
Of reinstating indignation at
Central High School, scene of
riots last fall when nine Negro
students sought to enter under
a court order.
But the appellate court stayed
for 80 days the effectiveness Of
its ruling reversing Judge Lem
ley to give the Little Rock
School Board time to appeal its
ruling to the Supreme Court,
