Faubus Orders Troops
To Leave High School
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 30 (W)—Gov. Orval Faubus tonight ordered the National
Guard troops away from Central High School a few hours after a Federal Court ordered
him to stop interference with the school's integration plan.
The guard left at 6:25 p.m. CST.
Faced with the injunction Faubus said "I will comply."
AF Reveals
Major Gain
In Defense
WASHINGTON, Sept 20 1.4")--I
The Air Force today revealed this;
country's first major break-I
through in efforts to set up a de-;
fense against intercontinental bal-I
listic missiles.
It is a superradar system cap-!
able ,of detecting, we:Allying and!
figuring the precise course of a
weapon speeding through space ,
3000 miles away.
Gen. Thomas D. White, Air
Force chief of staff, disclosed the
new development in space war
fare and linked it directly to Rus
sian claims of having successfully'
test-frred a balpstic rocket capable!
of reaching any target on earth.l
Whit e, declaring Communist!
progress in airpower, "does not!
neutralize our retaliatory capa-,
bility," said the complicated;
and radically new radar system'
will be operating in the near fu-I
tire.
The Air Force 'then said it is
probable that the first of the 3000-
mile-range radars would be in
stalled in-Alaska and that north
central Canada and either Labra
dor or Greenland could serve as
locations for two more sets. "
Together these could cast an
electronic detection screen over
the most likely approaches of any
space missile from Russia.
`Finlandia` Composer Dies
. HELSINKI, Sept. 20 UP)—Jean
Sibelius, 91, the great, brooding
Finnish composer, died tonight
from a brain hemorrhage at his
secluded woodland home outside
Helsinki.
An old law in Vermont once
required conductors of railway
trains to read passages from the
Bible to passengers traveling on
Sundays.
Teamsters to Face
Conspiracy Charges
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (E)—The International Brother-'
hood of Teamsters and its officers were ordered today to ap
pear in federal court here Sept. 27 to answer charges that they'
have conspired to rig the union's election in favor of James
R. Hoffa.
U. S. Dist. Judge F. Dickinson Letts directed them to show
cause why the election scheduled
for the Teamsters convention at
Miami Beach next month should
not be delayed by a temporary in
junction.
The 82-year-old judge, a for
mer R e p u b lican congressman
from lowa, acted on a petition
filed for a group of rank and
file Teamsters in the New York
—area by attorney Godfrey P.
Schmidt.
Schmidt, former counsel for
the New York State Labor De
partment, successfully staved
off Hoffa's attempt to swing a
New York Teamsters Council
election two years ago.
In his court appearance today.
Schmidt claimed Hoffa—Midwest
Team s.t er s vice president and
_ leading contender for the $50,000-
a-year presidential post being re
linquished by Dave Beck has
combined with Beck and others
to rig the Miami Beach balloting.
He said the convention dele
gates have been handpicked, se
lected without the membership
vote_ required by the Teamsters
constitution. -He alleged this was
typical of the Teamsters' practice
of depriving rank and file mem
. 1)&5 of a voice in either conven
tions or local union affairs.
I Presumably the nine Negro stu-!
Icients who have been barred from
, the school by the troops since they'
attempted to enter Sept. 4, will
'attend classes Monday. Several
!had said they would go if guards
men would not bar their way.
The action of the governor ap
parently closes one chapter of the,
historic struggle between state and
federal power, but Faubus said he'
!would'exhaust.all avenues of ap
peal to overturn the injunction.
Faubus spelled out his stand on
la three-station television hookup
in Little Rock five minutes after:
ILt Col. Marion Johnson had ap
peared at the high school and
called out the guard.
Action Climaxes Events
It was a dramatic - climax to a
l swift-moving chain of events
which started with Federal Judge;
Ronald N. Davies' injunction :
,agatnst Faubus following a five-I
hour hearing during which the;
governor's attorneys walked out
saying "We're through."
- They had challenged the federal ,
l government's right to question
!Faubus' actions and then left. The.
!hearing continued and at the end
the judge ruled that Faubus had
thwarted the order of the court'
for integration by his use of the
troops and directed him so-stop.
Faubus in his speech said Judge
Davies "ignored the law" in re
fusing some of the motions made
by the governor's attorneys today.
Faubus Instructs Lawyers
He said, "I have instructed my
attorneys to exhaust every legal
remedy.to appeal this order. How
ever, so long as this order is in
effect and until its certain rever
sal on appeal, I will comply . . ."
The governor then said even as
he talked the ) guards were leav-

Although obviously elated, Presi
dent Eisenhower's headquarters

order of Arkansas Gow. Orval

Guard troops from Central High

"There will be no comment to
night," Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty said.

Gov. McKeldin
Offers Support
To Integration
' DEALE. Md . Sept. 20 (.-Pl—A
,county official today accused
Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin of
"frying to stir something up"
with his promise of state police
support if a 6-year-old Negro boy
. would re-enroll in a white school.
"Everything is calm if Mr. Mc-
Keldin will just keep his mouth
shut," said Mrs. Pauline W. Re
tmey, who represent; the 7th Dis
`trict on the board of Anne Arun
del County commissioners.
"I've known these watermen all
my life. and they're not going to
take it," she continued. "Gov. Mc-
YKeldin can issue all the edicts he
wants to, and they can send state
and county police, but they'll haVe

'Thor' Trial Seen
Ist' Successful Test
MISSILE TEST CENTER. Cape
Caaveral, Fla., Sept. 20 (A') A
huge, flame-trailing missile was
launched from here today in what
was believed to be the first suc
cessful firing of the Air Force
Thor.
Authorities confirmed only that
a missile had been fired—the
third in two days—but their tone
indicated they were satisfied with
the performance.
The projectile rose with a-flam
ing tail, traveling upward on an
even keel for perhaps 15 or 20
miles before turning in a more
horizontal direction.
A trail of vapor followed it far
out over the Atlantic.
Observers three miles away
heard the sound 20 or 30 seconds
after the missile was airborne at
9:25 a.m. It came as a heavy roar
like the sound of bombers flying
overhead. Windows rattled in
downtown Cocoa 15 miles away
"This is the best propaganda
I've found yet for dining out!"
Just give your man
a chance to see
How boring
dishwashing can be!

THE MIXTURE AS BEFORE
Mday begins my fourth year of writing this column
and, as before, I will continue to explore the issues that
grip the keen young mind of campus America—bunting
questions like "Should hou s emothers be forced to retire
at 28?" and "Should pajamas and robes be allowed at
first-hour classes?" and "Should proctors be armed?" and
"Should picnicking be permitted in the stacks?" and
"Should teachers above the rank of associate professor
be empowered to perform marriages?" and "Should cap
ital punishment for pledges be abolished?"
Philip Morris Incorporated sponsors this column.
Philip Morris Incorporated makes Philip Morris ciga
rettes. They also make Marlboro cigarettes. Marlboro is
what I am going to talk to you about this year.
Before beginning the current series of columns, I made
an exhaustive study of Marlboro advertising. This took
almost four minutes. The Marlboro people don't waste
words. They give it to you fast: "You get a lot to like
in a Marlboro ... Filter ... Flavor ... Flip-top Box."
Well, sir, at first this approach seemed to me a little
terse, a bit. naked. Perhaps, thought I, I should drape
it with a veil of violet prose, adorn it with a mantle of
fluffy adjectives, dangle some participles from the ears
. But then I thought, what for? Doesn't that tell the
whole Marlboro story? ... Filter ... Flavor ... Flip-top
Box.
Marlboro tastes great. The filter works. So does the
box. What else do you need to know?
So, with the Marlboro story quickly told, lit us turn
immediately to the chief problem of undergraduate life—
the money problem. This has always been a vexing
dilemma, even in my own college days. I recall, for
example, a classmate named Oliver Hazard Sigafoos, a
great strapping fellow standing 14 hands high, who fell
in love with a beautiful Theta named Nikki Spillane,
with hair like beaten gold and eyeballs like two table
spoons of forgetfulness.
Every night Oliver Hazard would take Nikki out to
dine and dance, and then to dine again, for dancing made
:Nikki ravenous. Then they would go riding in the swan
boats, and then Nikld, her appetite sharpened by the sea
air, would have 8 or JO cutlets, and then Oliver Hazard
would take her home, stopping on the way to buy her a
pail of oysters or two.
. To raise money for these enchanted evenings. Oliver
Hazard took on a number of part-time jobs. Between
classes he cut hair. After school he gutted perches. From
dusk to midnight he.vulcanized medicine balls. From
midnight to dawn he trapped night era.wlers.
- This crowded Schedule took, alas, a heavy toll from
Oliver Hazard. In the space of a month he dwindled from
260 to 104 pounds—but that, curiously enough, proved
his salvation.
Today Oliver Hazard is a jockey, earning a handsome
liv:Dg which, combined with what he makes as a lymph
donor after hours ; is quite sufficient to curb Nikki's
girlish appetite. Today they are married and live in Upper
Marlboro, Maryland, with their two daughters, Filter
and Flavor, and their son, Flip-top Box.
