FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1957 Little Rock Tension Eases On 2nd Integrated Day LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept 26 (ll))—Nine Negro students moved smoothly through a second day of integrated classes at Central High School today. They were protected by Army paratroopers, but tension at the buff brick institution seemed to be easing. There was no blood-letting and there were no skirmishes Flu on Rise; Many Colleges Ate Affected WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 Asiatic flu is hop-skipping around; the country without• any apparent directional pattern, a Publi ci Health Service spokesman said to day,-and the number of cases evi dently is rising rapidly. The spokesman said there are; increasing reports of outbreaks ins schools and colleges. These prob ably will be reflected in the serv ice's weekly summary of reports from individual states, due out tomorrow. The estimated cumulative total number of cases reported last week was 100,000. Asked if the disease appeared to be spreading from west to east, the - Health Service spokesman said: "The reports indicate the ffici dence- jumps around and there is no evidence of specific directional pattern." • He 'recalled that the first out break, reported was among naval personnel at Newport, R. 1., last June, but a study of the records now indicates, he said, that the first outbreak may have been at Ft. Ord, Calif. The first state regarded as hav ing statewide incidence of the dis ease was Louisiana. Regional out breaks occurred in Mississippi, Texas and Utah. Increasing oc currence also has been reported in New York State. =ME outside the big school, ringed, to day as it was yesterday with steel helmeted, bayonet-ready Army regulars. Students coming out of classes reported no disturbances inside. With the completion of the second day of integration, the Negro students were escorted from Central High by the para troopers to an Army station wagon for the trip to their homes. They had been brought in the same manner when school opened for the day. White students said no incidents occurred inside the school and that tension in classrooms was easing. The Negroes again shared tables with white students in the cafeteria for lunch. Outside, also, the tension eased to the extent that the almost solid line of soldiers directly in front of the building were moved to a parallel street a block away and out of sight of the school! Officers said it was a move toward greater normalcy for the students, who hitherto have looked out school ; windows at a scene of bustling military activity. ' About a dozen hooky-playing 1 students paraded in front of Gov. Faubus'-mansion early in the afternoon. They carried pia ! cards indicating their support of Faubus and their opposition to integration. They sought an audience with the governor but I said he declined to see them. About a third of the 2,000 white students-boycotted yeterday's classes. But School Supt. Virgil Blossom repOrted attendance to day at about 1,350, or about 100 more - than yesterday.
