EISENHOWER
President Eisenhower, today, ended his vacation at
Newport, Rhode Island - retum

to
Washington, this afternoon.
It wasn•t much
of a vaeation,
anyway -
not in the
sense
ot
an
uninterrupted,

The Pre

had

been established for a rest
at
Newport, men the

hit. Which called him back to

FAUBUS
In Washington,
government
officials
are expressin
doubt about
a
plan to
stop racial
integration
at Central High
School, in
Little Rock, by closing
the
school. Govemor Faubus
1s cons
dering
this.
The method would be
to
call a special
sess
i
on of the
state legislature - to withdraw state t\mda
tro11
the
school. Which, of course, would make it close - and
then
Central High might reopen as a private school.
Today,Oovernor Faubus told reporters in Little Rock -
that he has not yet made a decision for
any
such action.
c:,.<.")
RII.JIYA-Y·
rHowever,
the
legal experts don't think it can be done4 Because
turning
Central High
into
a private school would be an evasion
or Constitutional rights
ot
the Negro children already enrolled
...
there.
Arkansas, they argue,
a
could abolish its entire
public
school system to avoid integration.
att they
doubt
the
state would ever take such a drast
i
c
measure.



























LITTLE ROCK
Once again, today, things were quiet around Central
H
igh
- the nine Negro pupils attending
class
without
incident.
The
guard of
soldiers
of the One Hundred and First Airbome
Division was reduced - with fewer than a hundred soldiers in
the neighborhood
of the school. Barricades across the street
in front of
the school were taken down, and tratt1c moved
freely.

TEAMSTERS
At the Teamsters Convention,
Miami Beach, there's a

candidatee
are running against him -
and, today,
one of
these withdrew.
Congressman John Shelley, or
Calitomia -
long
a -ber of the
Teamsters Union. He urged 4M• the anti-Horta opposition
~ f o n n a coalition - and get behind one single candidate.
The Congres111&n - asking his own supporters to back one or the
three rivals, remaining in the field against Botta.
But the boss or the mid-western Teaaatera remains

biggest union. He received a huge ovation, today - when the
convention opened. He 1181

but there's no doubt about his popularity - among the ninteen

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is being asked to

Union, charge that the convention has been rigged - so as to

that one purpose of the Russian man-made moons would

He
explained - that the Russians expect the artificial satellites
