Solons Would Seek To End School Crisis
LITTLE ROCK Ark Gov Orval Faubus said he likely would call a special legislative session to deal with integration at Central High School where nine Negroes began their second week of integrated classes under paratrooper protection. He said legislative action appears the only recourse for a peaceful solution and did not abandon a possible federal court injunction against federal troops. Faubus criticized Eisenhower and suggested the Legislature seemed mostly in favor of a special session, while some northwest Arkansas lawmakers voiced misgivings. He opposed eager early session and noted that closing Central High could imply closing all state schools. Nine Negroes continued integrated classes with paratroopers.
