U S District Judge Harry J Lemley granted Central High School a 2 1 2 year suspension of its gradual desegregation plan allowing seven Negro students still enrolled to remain for the fall. Attorney Wiley Branton said an appeal with a possible stay could reach the U S Supreme Court. Gov Orval Faubus welcomed the ruling but cautioned it is not a final settlement.
