U S Arkansas in Stalemate Over Central High Integration
The federal state clash at Central High School in Little Rock stretched into a stalemate as U S District Judge Ronald Davies dismissed a petition seeking a three judge court to order troops from the school. Kenneth Coffell on behalf of segregationists said an appeal would follow. Gov. Fant denied immediate action, while Atty. Gen. Bennett reported no contact with the governor. The suit sought to bar troops from patrolling or interfering with Central High.
