william Hansbarger, a mem
Der of the Falls Church City
Council who represented some
property owners, said that
while nobody questioned the
motive of saving lives" the
principle involved was an at
tempt to make individuals re-
sponsible for their neighbors.
Fear Value Cut
Several residents said erec-
ton Of fences would ruin the
aesthetic value of their homes
and reduce their property
values. John H. King of 1893
Great Falls road. said he would
have to destroy a grove of dog
wood trees to put a fence
around his pool.
Mr.. King said he doesn't use
his pool so much since he air
conditioned his house, and
likely would turn the pool into
a fish pond If he has to put up
a fence.
The only support for the
ordinance came from Mrs. E.
H. Shelton Of 1870 Pole road.

a petition favoring fences from
several residents Of her sub
division.

Guerin Todd. chairman of
an association formed to fight
the ordinance. said it would be
IAN invasion Of residential
property rights in an attempt TO
protect children who could
better be protected through dis
cipline." He presented petit

President Nixon said today,

He reminded newsmen that
about a year ago outer space

primary subject in the 1853
elections.
Then, he said, seven months

AS to whether the Goldf1ne-

in the fall or in 1860 is hard
to say at this time. he said.
Mr.. Nixon stopped of at

PETITION
Continued From First Pag

OS~SN AAVhhs - dsO
is scheduled to end Monday.
Today's petition asked that the
term either be extended to hear
the arguments or that a special
term be convened.
Central High School in Little
Rock had been ordered inte-
grated last year by another
Federal Judge. The admission
of nine Negro students to the
school resulted in violent dis
orders which eliminated in the
sending of troops by President
Eisenhower to maintain order
and carry out the court inte-
grafton ruling.
Last Saturday United States
District Judge Harry j. Len
ley in Little Rock suspended
the integration order. Judge
Lemley based his ruling on the
grounds that the order. posing
threats of future violence,
would react injuriously to both
races and to the educational
system.
The petition stated: The
public interest in this case
rscendS the interest of any
of the parties to this litiga-
ton"
It recited that desegregation
is now in effect in 764 out Of
1883 school districts in the
/ II Southern States and in the
District of Columbia. Airing
! ton County. Va. has been or
dered to end school segregation
beginning in September.
The petition stated that
there have been about $50
court cases with segregation
desegregation question since
1854 when the Supreme Court
held school segregation on a
racial basis unconstitutional.
Referring to the areas in
which desegregation has been
decreed or where litigation is
now in progress, the petition
declared, f@s ent
THE order Judge Lemley's
ruling here involved will GER
tainly create instability in these
areas as we'll as others now
considering desegregation with
or without a court case. To
follow normal appellate proc
eSses will mean that the case
could not be decided by this
court prior to the next school
term" go
Pending in the Eighth Cir
tcuit Court of Appeals is a mo-
ton by the NAACP to stay
Judge Lemley's order.
Under Supreme Court rules
the court may review a case
pending in the appellate court
thus bypassing that court. only
upon a showing that the case
is of such public importance
as to justify deviation from
normal processes and which re-
quires immediate settlement.
Last year, in the case of Army
Specialist William S. Giraro
accused of the Staying of q
Japanese woman on a weapons
range in Japan, the Supreme
Court reviewed the case di-
rectly from the U. S. District
Court here, cutting of inter-
mediate procedure in the Court
of Appeals. The high court
extended its term into July in
order to hear the issue and
render the ruling. In that
case, the court held that Japan
had the right to try Specialist
Girard for the Staying.
The Court today was told in
the petition that the Little Rock
case presents one of those
crucial issues of national and
international magnitude >
Judge Lemley's ruling, the pc
tition asserted, voided "the
constitutional right" of the
Negro students ito desegre-
gated public school education.

After comforting with Presi-
dent Eisenhower in an unusual
$3.50 pm. conference at the
White House yesterday, Secre-
tary Dulles told reporters he
was deeply disappointed" but
added he was mot prepared to-
day to accept as final the view
that this is a complete fiipflop.
State Department officials
viewed the last-minute hitch in
arrangements for the Geneva
talks as conclusive evidence of
a new Soviet attitude toward a
summit conference.
It was understood that dis
armament would have been the
area in which East West heads
of government could produce a
significant agreement. Suspen-
sion of tests was regarded as
the most likely outcome. But
Moscow has now refused 10 60

Iafations for an effective inspec-
ton of a nuclear test suspen-
sion.
Kremlin leaders have decid-
ed, officials here speculate,
that their summit tactics of
the last six months have not
worked out. A new toughness
is now expected all along the
line.
Secretary Dulles obviously
has decided to CLEAN the prop
uganda dividends from this
exposure of insincerity in So
Wet peace propaganda by pin
ming the blame for the new
chill on the Kremlin.
" D. EoAAcy Oicdr
In all the correspondence
between President Eisenhower
and Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev on the proposed test
talks in Geneva, the United
States has made clear it could
not commit itself to any change
in disarmament policy in ad-
vance.
Moscow has. in several Of its
notes, chosen to assume that
the United States was in effect
committing itself to stop test
ing. Foreign Minister Gromyko
used Secretary Dulles June II
press conference remarks re-
jecting any advance commit
ments as the pretext for re-
fuSing TO join in the talks.
State Department experts or
Soviet affairs are aware that
some internal power struggle
may be responsible for the "a
hour shift in Soviet policy. But
so far they have no signs tC
indicate that Premier Khru-
shchev is in any kind of trou-
BILE.
For that reason. major en-
phasis was being placed on the
toreign-policy implications Of
the Soviet move. The new
tough line was expected to add
to the tensions in the Middle
East. where the Lebanese gov
lernment is fighting a rebellion
believed to be partially sup
ported by the United Arab Re-
public.
