'"ILL 1111 " I' v ' - - "'' ? )! i,,- 1-T l-l u JT Ull'l. UN '1. Prayers were raised in four' score churches here today invok ing divine aid in solving this ten sion-torn city s racial cnsis. Thousands turned out. The day was bright and sunny, with the temperature in the mid-60s. The 84 participating churches were of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths. More than dozen Negro churches took part Most of the 64 were in Little Rock; few were in neighboring North Little Rock or elsewhere in the state. AH Faithi Join Churchmen of all faiths had Joined in arranging the prayer services. They said the purpose was to seek divine help for the preservation of law and order, the casting out of rancor and pre judice and resistance against un thinking agitators." - An unofficial estimate by ' the sponsors said 6.000 to 7,000 turned out in response to the sound of church bells la the clear crisp air. , A spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese said 2.033 attend ed prayer services at 11 churches of that faith in Pulaski County which surrounds Little Rock. He described that as about one-third of the aggregate membership, feerular Pursuits But if thousands turned out many more thousands went about their normal secular pursuits. In the downtown business area some establishments observed minute of silent prayer at 11 a.m. the hour set for the services Many stores offered their em ployes time off to go to church But a reporter who was in one of Little Rock's bigger depart ment stores at 11 o'clock saw no one in the crowd of shoppers and sales persons who took any out ward note of the time. On the streets outside, hundreds were walking, also without taking any apparent notice. - The idea of the prayer services had been endorsed by President Eisenhower, Gov. Orval Faubus and the Little Rock School Board. Antoine Pinay Working for New Cabinet By GODFREY ANDERSON PARIS, Oct. 12 I Rightist former Premier Antoine Pinay inched cautiously ahead today in an attempt to form the 24th post' war government of France. He seemed in no particular hurry and no one was very opti mistic about his chances. After talks with 'caretaker Premier Maurice Bourges Maunoury, Fi nance Minister Felix Gaillard, and Wilfrid Baumgartner, governor of the Bank of France, Pinay dead ed to call it a day. He arranged Sunday appointments with agri cultural and social security ex perts and such of the party lead en as he could find in town. Pinay, who was called on by President Rene Coty last night aft er two leftist candidates Guy Mollet and Rene Pleven had failed, presented his program with a "take it- or leave it" air and asked for answers in 24 hours. Leftists seemed particularly irked by the choice of Pinay to try to end the 12-day-old crisis. Most annoying to the left was Pinay's apparent intention to slash the government subsidy now paid to make up the 80 billion francs 1190,476,000 annual deficit in social security services. Perhaps significantly, it was a move to cut social security serv ices which defeted Pinay and brought an end to his previous term as premier in 1952. Other main aspects of Pinay's program were . understood to be these: special powers, perhaps for two years, to handle the econo mic crisis; constitutional perform to give greater government stabil ity: Vnassive economies with ab olition of redundant posts in the army and civil service; no new expenditures, no new taxes.
