Arkansas Judge Allows Central High Deseg Suspension
U S District Judge Harry Lemley ordered that the Little Rock Central High desegregation plan could be suspended for two years potentially until 1961. Seven Negro students already enrolled would be banned from returning this September. The decision followed continued racial incidents at Central High despite federal troops. The board sought delay citing possible political changes in 1961 and Faubus National Guard actions last year. An appeal was signaled by NAACP attorney Wiley Branton. Wayne Upton, school board president, praised the ruling.
