Hints At Calling
Legislature If
Session Fails
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)
Gov. Orval E. Faubus and three
Arkansas Legislative leaders will
meet with the Little Rock School
Board tonight to discuss the inte
gration problem.
Faubus indicated that unless the
board takes some action quickly
la forestall the return of Negro
pupils to Central High School
Sept. 2, the Legislature probably
will be called into special session
next week.
The governor took time out to
comment on President Eisenhow
er's implied warning that federal
troops might again be used to en
force integration if circumstances
warranted it.
"What Mr. Eisenhower and
many others who express similar
viewpoints fail to realize is that
they are supporting a court de
rision which is not constitutional
and there are millions of people
in every section of the country
wno know it, f aubus said.
Coolness Noted
The meeting with the board was
set up in a conversation between
Sunt, of Schools Virgil Blossom
and the governor, who have been
publicly critical of each other.
A coolness between the board
and the governor has been appar
ent since last fall when Blossom
blamed Faubus for much of the
Central High trouble.
Faubus refused to be pinned
down on an expected special ses
sion of the Legislature but did say
only action of the board can pre
vent a special session and time
is getting snort. ,
Blossom said the board planned
.to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to
intervene in the Little Rock case
and would ask the St. Louis Ap
peals Court to stay its decision
which wiped out a 2'4-ycar delay
in integration.

President Sees
Test Ban Accord
As Groundwork
WASHINGTON (AP)-President
Eisenhower said today tentative
agreement by East-West scientists
on ways to police a nuclear test
ban is the sort of thing that could
lay the groundwork for a summit
conterence.
His news conference statement
was in response to a question.
Eisenhower said the agreement
which he said may be signed
inursaay, is most encouraging
and raises hope for more impor
tant steps toward easing cold war
tensions.
The United States welcomes any
constructive step in this direction,
he added.
The Soviet-Western agreement
on means of setting up a global
monitoring network came in sev
en weeks of secret talks now draw
ing to an end in Geneva.
There was no effort by the 16
scientists trom four Western and
four Communist nations to reach
any political decisions on whether
there should be an agreement to
halt nuclear testing.
However, American officials
said the Kremlin can be expected
to point to the Geneva agreement
as committing the United Slates
lo end tests.
The interpretation has been re
jected in advance by President Ei
senhower.
The American position, as set
forth in (he past by Eisenhower
and secretary of state Dulles, is
that any agreement by East-West
scientists might lead to suspen
sion of testing, but that the United
states refused lo be bound in ad
vance.
France Throws
Support Behind
Western Plan
By MAX HARRELSON
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (AP)
Foreign Minister Maurice Couve
d'j Murville today threw France's
full support behind a Western plan
to hand the Middle East problem
over to Dag Hammarskhold.
The French diplomat, who ar
rived here only Tuesday, urged
the emergency U.N. General As
sembly to place its confidence in
the secretary general and leave it
lo him to find ways lo ease tension.
Courve de Murville' addressed
tne 81-nation body as intense be
hind-the-scenes activities contin
ued on behalf of rival Middle East
plans.
Seek Impressive Vote
The Western resolution, backed
by Norway and six other small
countries, apparently had enough
support to give it the required
two-thirds majority, but its spon
sors were trying to roll up an im
pressive vote.
India, Ceylon and several other
Asian countries were pressing a
rival plan calling for the early
withdrawal of U.S. troops from
Lebanon and British forces from
Jordan.

President Doesn't Consider
He's In Political Camp
With Opponents Of Views
Geddes Strongly
Criticizes Demos
Strong criticism of Gov. Robert
D. Holmes, Howard Morgan, Pub
lic Utilities Commissioner, and
Rep. Charles O. Porter was level
ed Monday at Medford by Paul
E. Geddes, Republican candidate
for Congress from the 4th District.
At a GOP picnic, Geddes claim
ed the officials were "shirking
their responsibilities by failing to
take a stand on the reduced freight
rates proposed by Southern Paci
fic." He went on to rap what he
termed their "ridiculous position of
neutrality" and said "Holmes, Mor
gan and my opponent should not
talk about a lack of job opportun
ities and high-cost transportation,
then turn their backs upon an op
portunity to do something about
them."
President Says Citizens
Must Obey The Courts
(Continued From Page One)
sponsibility of the federal govern
ment in such an event. My feel
ings are exactly as they were a
year ago."
Eisenhower recalled he had said
at that time:
"The very basis of our individ
ual freedoms rests upon the cer
tainty that' the President and the
"execitive branch of government
will support and insure the carry
ing out of the decisions of the fed
eral courts."
Eisenhower said he continues to
insist that tile common sense of
the individual and a feeling of
civic responsibility "must even
tually come into play if we are
to solve this problem."
The integration statement came
at the outset of the news confer
ence. After reading it rapidly and
emphatically, the President an
nounced he would have nothing
further to say on the subject in
view of still pending litigation in
the courts.
However, he did lift that em
bargo momentarily a bit later in
saying it mid be wrong and
would complicate his job for him
to say how he stands on the in
tegration issue.
Eisenhower dealt with Ihcse
other topics:
DF'ENSE Eisenhower said
he believes U.S. defense forces
are not only adequate but ' the
most powerful in American his
tory. They act as a deterrent to
war. as th.y are intended, he
added.
New inventions constantl; make
them even more powerful, Eisen
hower said. But he went on to say
he does believe that in certain de
fense areas the government is
spending too much. He did not
specif ; those areas.
PRICES A reporter told Ei
senhower some people Ihink he
has not displayed vigorous enough
leadership in trying to hold down
prices.
r.isenhowe. said, as he has
many times, that the only tilings
he can do are appeal to business
nd labor lo keep the waee pnee
spiral in check, and try to make
sure government spending does
not get out of line.
Price and wane controls. Eisen
hower said, would lead to a con
trolled economv. He said he is not
vet ready to suggest to anyone
that a system of controls should
be imp..sed.
GENEVA Discussing the East
West agreement at Geneva on po
licing of any nuclear lest ban, Ei
senhower said it provides grounds
to hope we will be able to take
still another step toward eventual
disarmament
RED CHINA Eisenhower said
that in his opinion it is not neces
sary to include Red China in any
agreement. Mich as the technical
one reached at Geneva, on polic
ing of a nuclear test ban.
By FRANK CORMIER i
V'SHINGTON (AP) President
Eisenhower said today he could
not consider himself in the same
political camp with any Congress
member at odds with him over
three major pieces of legislation.
The measures: Reciprocal trade,
foreign aid and defense legisla
tion. Eisenhower told a news confer
ence he regards them as absolute
ly vital.
Therefore, he said, he could not
feel close political kinship with
anyone completely opposed to his
views on these questions.
The President had been asked
whether he would decline to cam
paign this fall for any Republican
Congress members who balked at
these bills.
Made Point Before
Eisenhower didn't go that far.
He said he has made the point
before that no one vole or expres
sion would make it impossible for
him to ever support any political
figure.
Asked whether he has any plans
to take pa,rt in the ca. paign,
Eisenhower replied he had no
detailed plans and no specific
projects.
But, he added, it would be
strange if he didn't have some
thing to say during the course of
the big contest for control of the
House and Senate.
Another questioner asked Eisen
hower to appraise the passage by
Congress of a farm bill which the
newsman said closely parallels
the policies of Secretary of Agri
culture Benson.
Policies Have Sense
TL- President said he believes
the Congress members are learn
ing that Benson's policies often
attacked by Democrats during
past campaigns have a lot of
sense in them and are good for
the country.
Eisenhower also was asked a
question about former President
Harry Truman whom he hasn't
seen since his inauguration day.
Might it be advisable, he was
asked, to include Truman and
other former presidents as mem
bers of the National Security
Council.
Eisenhower said Truman had

escape questioning in a waterfront
killing there, and added:
"I don't think he could go back
until after Gov. Harriman was
elected."
Baker's former wife, Mollie
Biker, had testified similarly
Tuesday. She said Baker had fled
after the killing of Anthony Hintz,
a pier boss.
The senators have heard testi
mony earlier of .associations be
tween Baker and Eddie (Cock

was convicted in the Hintz case
and executed.
Giggles On Stand
ulrs. Brougher. who often gig
gled as she spoke, laughed out
right as she testified she knew
Baker had served jail terms one
of them "for killing Joe Pen
ncr's duck."
Penner was a famed comedian.
So was the duck he used in his
act.
Mrs. Brougher said Baker (old
her he had served time for killing
the duck. "I think by throwing a
slink bomb on the stage of a thea
ter "
She said she also knew that as
r.non as Baker got out of jail, in
that case, he borrowed some hood
lum's car, "went to the waterfront
and whipped the man who had
testified against him."
Mrs. Brougher's testimony men
tioning Harriman unfolded under
questioning by Robert F. Kennedy,
committee counsel, and Sen. Karl
E. Mundt (RSD).
Mundt asked what connection
Harriman's election could have
with whether Baker could go back
to New York.
"Very Friendly"
"1 never asked him," she said,
hul added that Baker's letters
and his conversations with her
convinced her "they were very
friendly."
Harriman has said Baker did
some presidential nomination

and 1956, hut that he has no rec
ollection of talking to Baker and
that they never were friends.
Baker, a 300-pound aide to

other things, about the where

perience of his own as President,
but added he wouldn't talk about
personalities.
He went on to say the Security
Council is solely an advisory
group and that he can and has
called in people from various
walks of life to sit in witn u. How
ever, he said he doesn't think it
is necessary to expand the Secur

Sodomy Charged
To Winston Man
Sheriff's deputies arrested a 44-year-old
machinist Tuesday night
at his Winston home on a private
complaint alleging sodomy with a
Dillard youth, 14.
Booked was Walker Howard
Meeker who allegedly lured the
boy into his house last Sunday
night.
The youth, in a statement to
Sheriff Ira C. Byrd, said Meeker
attempted to use hypnotism to con
trol his actions and force him to
commit perversion.
"I pretended to be hypnotized,"
the youth stated. He said further
he went through with the act be
cause "I was afraid he (Meeker)
might hurt me."
The complaint has been filed in
district court. Meeker is expected
to be arraigned Thursday by Judge
Carl E. Wimberly, currently acting
for District Judge Warren A
Woodruff.

Hutcheson Slated
For Ouster From
AFL-CIO Council
FOREST PARK, Pa. (AP)
Carpenters Union President Mau
rice A. Hutcheson, under fire on
corruption charges and cited for
contempt of Congress, is reported
due for ouster from the AFL-CIO
hierarchy.
Top AFL-CIO sources predicted
today Hutcheson will be asked to
supply an explanation of his re
fusal to answer U. S. Sen
ate Rackets Committee questions
about expenditurn of union funds.
Fellow labor chiefs said private
ly they expect Hutcheson to re
fuse the demand and probably re
sign as a member of the AFL-CIO
Executive Council, the federa
tion's top policy-making group.
The council members already
have figured on Hutcheson's res
ignation in selecting Painters Un
ion President Lawrence M. Raf
terv, 'Lafayette, to replace James
Petrillo, resigned Musicians Un
ion president.
There is an informal under
standing that when and if Hutch
eson. a building trades leader,
leaves the council his successor
will be from the building trades
union group, as was Petrillo.
It was learned, moreover, that
the AFL-CIO plans to launch la
bor's own investigation of Hutch
eson's Carpenters Union lo deter
mine whether the union should be
ousted from the federation for
corruption.
Hutcheson has been charged in
Senate hearings with mishandling
union funds in paying for a book
lauding him and his father, the
late William (Big Bill) Hutcheson,
and with profiting in Indiana's
road right-of-way deals.
The net effect would be to keep
the proportional representation of
the building trades the same as
in the past. Painter Raftery, suc
ceeding musician Petrillo, would
counterbalance a nonbuild
ing trades successor for carpenter
Hutcheson.
