Little Rock Desegregation Case Review By Judge Lemley
Judge Lemley upheld the Little Rock School Board request to suspend integration at Central High through mid 1961 to ease racial tensions. The ruling, not a final settlement, aims to preserve education standards while continuing nondiscriminatory goals. The case recalls Governor Faubus’ 1957 actions and federal enforcement that followed. Nine Negro students enrolled last September faced police and National Guard protections amid ongoing unrest. Ernest Green became Central High's first Black graduate on May 29.

Talmadge Plan Aims to Reform Farm Policy and Parity
Talmadge argues his bill will free agriculture from abortive farm laws and return it to free enterprise with compensatory payments. It seeks to let farmers grow and sell freely, guaranteeing a share of national income and restoring U S commodities to world markets at competitive prices. Covered crops include tobacco rice peanuts corn wheat and cotton with government payments covering the parity gap for domestically consumed portions.
