President Says
Withdrawal Of
Troops Vital
By MARVIN ARROWSMITH
NEWPORT. R. I. UH - Prcsi-
dent Eisenhower called Arkansas
Gov. Orval Faubus' withdrawal
of National Guardsmen from a
Little Rock high school "a neces
sary step in the right direction,"
Saturday.
Commenting on that dramatic
development in the Arkansas
school integration case, the Pres
ident also said in a statement at
his vacation headquarters:
"1 am confident that the citi
zens of the city of Little Rock
and the stale of Arkansas will
welcome this opportunity to dem
onstrate that in their city and in
their state proper orders of a
United States court will be exe
cuted promptly and without dis
order." Dtlighrod by Compliance
The President obviously was de
lighted by Faubus's compliance
Friday night with a federal court
order that he halt interference
with school integration at the Lit
tle Rock high school. The gover
nor had been using Na t i o n a 1
Guard troops to bar mingling of
wmte and ftcgro pupils.
Eisenhower was advised of the
Faubus move shortly after the
governor pulled the -troops away
from the school Friday night just
a few hours short of one week
after he and Faubus conferred at
the Newport White House.
James C. Hagerly, presidential
press secretary, dictated Eisen
hower s statement to newsmen
about an hour after the President
checked into his office at the U.S.
naval base.

LITTLE ROCK. Arlt in r.n
Orval Faubus, in a lightning move,

was exploring various avenues of
legal appeal today to the federal
injunction that commanded him to
pull out the troops.
as long as this order is in ef

said.
But he added, with determina
tion, that he will appeal it.
Faubus made the statement in
an appearance on a Utile Rock
television program last night
while the troops were pulling out.
Troopers Appear'
Less than an hour later, a few
state troopers and one automobile
carrying two Little Rock police
men were parked beside t h
school. But the officers said they
were not ordered there. "Just hap-

newsmen and photographers, will
be asked to stay outside the
school building Monday morning.
Events that transpire inside the
building if Negro students enter

an hour later by school officials,
Blossom said.
"The schools will be open to all
children Monday," the superinten
dent said.
Polict To Bo Posted
A Little Rock police official, who
asked not to be identified, said
police will be posted al Central
High Monday but exact strategy
has not been worked out.
Whether the nine Negro students
who were turned away by Nation
al Guardsmen Sept. 4 would try
to enter Monday was not known.
"i don't know and I don t think
the others have decided," said
Thclma Motheshed, one of the
students.
Mrs. L. C. Bates, head of the
Arkansas branch of NAACP, said
she had nc information on the
matter yet.
Little Rock residents anxiously
awaited Fabubus next move and
looked ahead to Monday.
Arthur J. Bickel, one of the out
spoken segregationists in the
white crowd that gathered almost
every day recently in front of
Central High, was asked if there
were plans for a demonstration
at the school.
"We have always been guaran

some school parents who are go
ing to be there. I don't know about
any student boycotts or anything
like that."

"It's hard to understand, but
maybe one of these days it won't

from a newly-integrated school
room following a scries of window

the burning of a cross in his yard.
McKeldin promised him state po
lice protection if he wanted to put
the boy back in school and appar
