Faubus in Blast at Soldiers at Little Rock School
Federal troops guarded six Negro girls and three boys as they entered Little Rock Central High with guards beside them. Press Secretary Hagerty said no weekend negotiations with Southern governors or Rep. Heys aimed at ending the impasse. He offered no estimate on how long troops would remain, noting hoped they would not stay through the school term. Meanwhile a South Carolina county bought nine sub machine guns to repel possible troop action, and a burning cross appeared on Gov. Metcalf’s Maryland lawn as a symbol of resistance.

The Morgan shot at the Nevada proving grounds produced a 12 to 15 second fireball rising to 40,000 feet with a 20,000 foot cloud and a pink hue as ionization lit the sky. Observers 45 miles away saw the glow, while the AEC projected only traces of offsite fallout.
