(M—Two Southern governors criti cized President Eisenhower yesterday for what they called his uncertain stand on integrating schools. But, as the Southern Governors Conference headed to ward final sessions, it appeared doubtful the governors could agree on a positive stand them-1 selves. L Tennessee Gov. Fran k G. ' .° t o ile Clement said he might intro- i m ile Rock duce a resolution reaffirming i states rights and state responsi- ' bility. Clement at a news conference, Ask criticized the President for vaca tioning instead of trying to help solve the segregation and other problems facing all the governors. Clement said Eisenhower should meet with all governors and seek "honorable solutions" to prob lems that affect this country at home and abroad "I am merely emphasizing a- ; :: new what I think is the Presi-C 1 dent's responsibility,' said Clem-i ent. "I would tell him, in all re-: spect, that he is not carrying out': his responsibility." Arkansas' Gov. Orval E. Fau bus jabbed at the President for using federal Troops at Little 1 Rock last year to force inte gration of Central High School If Eisenhower and Vice Presi-: dent Nixon want integration, they, should send their children to in-i t tegrated schools, Faubus said. He said Nixon has taken his; 'children from integrated schools, 'and placed them in private insti-: tutions. "If these people would practice ,what they preach instead of try-t ing to force integration on us," Faubus asserted, "they would set' fan example for the whole coun-I try. ' Faubus also told a news con ference a federal law ordering integration would be unconsti• tutional. The statement referred to a suggestion that the integration issue should be resolved by Con gress immediately. Gov. Leßoy Collins of Florida focused the conference's atten tion on the issue Monday when he suggested Congress should seek ways to head off the present pattern of conflict. Stock Market Rises NEW YORK (fP) A sudden rally pushed the stock market for another record high in the Assoi ciated Press average yesterday. 1 PAGE THREE Court Aid The Little Rock Board of Edu cation asked yestei day for a quick test in federal court of an Arkan sas plan to lease four closed high school buildings to a corporation for use as private segregated schools. The action is considered by seg regationists as going against the plan of Gov. Orval E. Faubus who had called upon the board to make school facilities available to private corporations to be oper ated as private segregated schools. The board petitioned U S. Dis trict Court to say whether it can legally lease the buildings. It said ,it is willing to do so if the court will absolve the board from con- I tempt action. In Virginia, Gov. J. Lindsay 'Almond Jr. was expected to close ; six junior and senior high schools ;at Norfolk after a federal judge 'rejected a plea for further delay ;in admitting Negroes. The Little Rock action was 'called "absolutely unnecessary" iby a segregationist spokesman. Amis Guthridge, an attorney ;and Citizens Council leader, said the board "is more interested in seeing the mixing of the races in ;our schools than seeing them op :erate." Denies Raid 'lf Quemoy Falls WASHINGTON (Th—The State ;Department yesterday- denied re ports that Red China had been i warned that United States-backed "Chinese Nationalist bombers Iwould attack th e Communist ! mainland if Quemoy were about to fall. Press officer Lincoln White, asked about the published re ports, said "I know of nothing that is not on the public record."
