Federal Judge Says
Plan Could Be Delayed
To 1961 Without Harm
By CLIFTON WELLS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) An
Arkansas federal district judge
Saturday ruled that racial integra
tion at embattled Little Rock Cen
tral High School could be suspend
ed until 1961.
U. S. District Judge Harry J.
Lemley of Hope said in his order,
received by mail in the district
clerk's office here, that the Little
Rock gradual plan for desegrega
tion could be suspended for 2'i
years without the school "being
considered collectively or individ
ually, in contempt of this court."
Lemley. 74, heard the board's
petition for suspension in court
here June 3-5.
His ruling means that the seven
Negro students still enrolled in the
2.000-pupil school at the conclusion
of the past school year could be
banned from Central this Septem
ber. Wiley Branton of Pine Bluff, an
atlornev for the National Associ
ation for the Advancement of
Colored People who opposes the
suspension, declined to say wheth
er Lemley's ruling would be ap
pealed. Expresses Pleasure
On the other side, Wayne Upton,
president "bf the school board, ex
pressed pleasure at the judge's
decision. "I feel we made a strong
case, and I am quite well pleased
with the results of Hie hearing."
Upton and other board witnesses
told Lemley at the hearing here
that racial incidents continued in
tha halls of Central throughout the
past school year despite the pres

Car Plunges Over
Bank; 4 Persons'
Injuries Minor
Four Glide teen-agers narrowly
escaped death late Thursday night
when their car went out of con
trol on Little River Road and
plunged down a 35-foot bank.
The victim were taken to Doug
las Community Hospital for treat
ment. Marv Shelton, daughter of
.Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Shelton, was
the only one of the four still hos

Miss Polley for cuts and bruises.
The Shelton girl was pinned be
neath the car after the vehicle,

.loose gravel while rounding a curve
and rolled over three times. The
car came to rest at the water's
edge on the river bed.

the circle mill that burned. The
circle mill will be closed tempor

Governor Holmes
Gives Billy Nunn
Years' Reprieve
.SALEM (AB) Billy Junior
Nunn, sentenced to die in the gas
chamber June 27 for the sex mur
der of 14-year-old Alvin Eacret of
Klamath Falls, was granted a
12-months reprieve Friday by Gov.
Robert D. Holmes.
It is the third reprieve granted
to Nunn, the others having been
for 30 and 60 days.
Eaeret's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
,Iohn W. Eacret, filed suit to pre
vent tne governor irom commut
ing the sentence to life imprison
ment. They lost the case in Marion
County Circuit Court, and it now
is on appeal to the state Supreme
Court.
The governor said it would be
improper to execute Nunn or to
grant him clemency while the
case is in the courts.
He granted the first two re
prieves for the same reason.
The slaying occurred in Jackson
County.
The execution date now stands
at June 26, 1959.
The parents of the boy said that
a governor has no right to com
mute a death sentence just be
cause ha opposes capital punish
ment. The governor opposes the death
penalty. Since he took office 17
monhs ago, he has commuted the
only two death sentences that
'have been placed before him.
Released Priest
Does Not Deny,
Communist Claim
HONG KONG I A haggard
American priest just out of five
years in a Communist China prison
said today he did not deny charges
against him.
But a fellow priest said his com

for Uiem both.
The Rev. Joseph P. MeCormack,
65, and the Rev. Cyril P Wagner,
51, were moved almost to tears
by the gri .tings of fellow Catho
lics when they reached Hong Kong.
Both looked worn and older than
tneir years.
At a news conference shortly aft
er they landed, white-faced Father
Wagner of Pittsburgh and Chicago
said he did not deny the Commun
ist charges. "I did deal in black
market currency," he said.
Father MeCormack of the Mary,
knoll Seminary in Ossining, N.Y.,
interrupted him and put his arms
around the younger priest's shoul
ders. "This man has been sick for five
years," he told newsmen. "I deny
the charges, against Father Wag
ner, he said. "My trial and the
trial of Father Wagner were ridic

Dulles, Weeks
Stick To Trade
Extension Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) Secre
tary of State Dulles and Secre
tary of Commerce Weeks Satui
day stuck to their strong advo
cacy of a five-year extension of
the reciprocal trade law despite
a prolonged attack on the pro
gram by Sen. George W. Malone
(R-Nev).
The two cabinet officers ap
peared before the Senate Finance
Committee for quizzing by Malone
in an unusual Saturday session.
Malone, who lias made dozens
of speeches attacking the trade
program in his Senate career, told
Dulles he hopes Congress will
vote this year to kill the act.
He described as "poppycock1
the secretaries' contention that
foreign trade creates 4V million
lobs in this country.
On the contrary, Malone told
Dulles "six million men are
the streets now because of your
(trade) act.' tub senator predict
ed this would climb to 10 million
next year.
"Dulles answered that "only a
very small percentage, much less
than 10 per cent" of present un
employment, is caused by im
ports. si alone said he understood
Weeks had at one time opposed
the reciprocal trade program.
The commerce secretary com
mented "the world has changed
and I've changed my mind."
Malone also dismissed as "prop
aganda" Weeks' contention that
U.S. exports had increased strong
ly under the reciprocal trade law.
This was the second straight
day of testimony by Dulles and
Weeks on a bill to extend the
trade program beyond June 30
and to give the President new
tariff-cutting authority.

Farmers Vote
Wheat Control
Another Year
WASHINGTON (AP) Farm
ers voted Friday for the sixth
I Ktrutuht vpnr In keen a srimnwhat
I ineffective federal clamp on wheal
A referendum held in ,18 com
mercial producing states resulted
in 1UD.8KH votes for controls on
the l'J5 wheat crop and 32,342
votes against curbs. This was a
majority of 83.7 per cent, far more
than the necessary two-thirds.
Unofficial returns showed the
program was approved in Oregon
1,492-218, in Washington 2,855-1,251
and in Idaho 3,434-803.
The outcome was no surprise
to farm officials and leaders even
though Uie program has been un
der attack on the ground it has
failed to prevent the accumula
tion of what may turn out this
year to be the largest wheat sur
plus on record.
The alternative freedom to
produce at much lower prices
was generally looked upon as even
less inviting.
Marketing Quotas
The program imposes market
ing quotas on individual farms
and assesses penalties on excess
sales. It is designed to limit sale
to the production on 55 million
acres, which is about 30 per cent
less than the postwar peak.
But increasing yields per acre,
reflecting better crop practices,
have largely offset reductions in
plantings. Furthermore, present
law does not permit any further
reduction in total acreage allolcd
under the program.
Influencing the referendum's
outcome was the fact that the
1959 crop would be supported at
an average of about $1.81 a bushel
if quotas were approved and at
about $1.20 if they were rejected.
This may well be the last refer
endum on wheat quotas as they
now stand. The Eisenhower ad
ministration has recommended
changes that would grant farmers
more freedom to produce if they
accepted somewhat- lower price
supports. The administration con
tends markets would take much
more if prices were lower.
Critiri disagree with the admin
istration proposal but they. too.
have been casting about for a
more effective method of stabiliz
ing supplies and prices. Congress
may act before the time comes
to vote on quotas on the I960 crop
