White America may back Faubus in Arkansas primary
White America Inc, a Arkansas segregationist group, hinted it may endorse Gov. Orval Faubus in the 1958 primary. The move would surprise anti segregationists who had considered backing James D. Johnson. Guthridge of White America praised Faubus for supporting a plan to place two initiated acts on the ballot, interposition and school assignment to keep Negro and white students separate. He said the governor will not call a special session unless lawsuits require it and declined to say if funds will be contributed to Faubus or Johnson campaigns.
