Proposed truce in Little Rock crisis collapses
President directs defense secretary to return Arkansas National Guard to governor and withdraw federal troops. Faubus’s pledge to maintain law and order after withdrawal is questioned by White House aides. White House aides say Faubus let the president down by blocking integration after Newport talk. Picketing at the White House by Kasper group and counter-protesters drew a few hundred onlookers as police kept order. In Colombia, Mt. Nevada del Ruiz looms over a fertile coffee region.
