Arlington to Appeal Integration Order
Arlington County officials will appeal a federal district judge’s order requiring seven Negro children to attend all white Arlington schools. The board seeks a stay and plans to file notice of appeal in Alexandria and Richmond, while some parents will try to enroll their children next Monday. The ruling critiques Virginia’s Pupil Placement Act and notes it could undermine desegregation despite the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling.

Handful of Guardsmen Report Today at Central High
In Little Rock Arkansas a small number of National Guardsmen reported for duty at Central High School as rumors swirled Gov. Faubus might withdraw them before week’s end. About 30 guardsmen stood watch as classes began while a week earlier 250 troops surrounded the school. No Negroes attempted to approach the building amid the federal showdown, and a small group of adults watched from the sidewalk in a good natured mood.
