Judge Denies Stay On Little Rock School Integration Order
U S District Judge Harry J. Lemley refused a request to stay his Saturday order suspending school integration in Little Rock for 242 years. The ruling means the Central High School integration remains on hold while appeals proceed, with Branton stating plans to seek appellate guidance and possibly contact the chief circuit judge’s home. The decision emphasizes that delaying the stay would prolong an intolerable educational situation at Central High School.
