They are being billed as the first "plain tourists to visit Amer ica since the communist regime in Russia began. They will be in the U.S. for 14-days.

They will board a bus that tours Chinatown, Wall Street, Harlem the Empire State building and the United Nations.

In a prepared statement at a news conference the President also said every state has a re sponsibility to support and obey such orders. "Every American must under stand," Eisenhower said, "that if an individual community or state is going to successfully and con tinuously defy the courts, then there is anarchy." Without referring specifically to the explosive situation in Little Rock, Ark., or to other potential trouble areas, Eisenhower left no doubt his appeal was directed to those regions. His comment came against the background of a federal appellate court s decision earner this week that integration must be resumed in Little Rock. That decision set aside a federal court ruling in fa vor of a 2&-year delay. In response to questions, Eisen hower refused to say whether he favors school integration. He told newsmen that any ex pression on that issue would be wrong and would make his job more difficult with respect to his sworn duty to enforce the law. After declining to express i 4 St. i .WW 1 1 1 1 -v, m . mm i it t Livestock of rain and an electrical storm sent them scurrying to the livestock barns to repair damage to fresh-pressed suits of the exhibitors and to try and brush down their beef, sheep and swine entries. More livestock than in several years past went through the sales arena to pile up the tidy total of $46,983.75 for this year's sale. Auctioneers view on the merits of the integra tion controversy, Eisenhower said in his statement: "This case, however, or any person's agreement or disagree ment with its outcome, must not be confused with the solemn duty that all Americans have to com ply with the final orders of the court. Eisenhower then spoke of the responsibility and obligation of the individual states to suppress un lawful foroes. Speaking further regarding a state's obligation, Eisenhower said: It cannot by action or delib erate failure to act permit vio lence ,to frustrate ,the preserva tion ot individual rights as deter mined by a court decree." Without specifically saying so, Eisenhower indicated that under new but similar circumstances he would take the same course he followed in sending troops to Lit tle Rock last September. "There can be no equivocation, Eisenhower said, "as to the re 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 executive 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 the 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 would be wrong and would complicate his job for him to say how he stands on the in tegration issue. Eisenhower dealt with these other topics: DEFENSE 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 they are intended, he added. New inventions constantly make them even more powerlul, 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 specify those areas. PRICES A reporter told Ei senhower some people think he has not displayed vigorous enough leadership in trying to hold down prices. Eisenhower said, as he has many times, that the only things he can do are appeal to business and labor to keep the wage-price spiral in check, and try to make sure government spending does not get out of line. Price and wage controls, Eisen hower said, would lead to a con - trolled economy. He said he is not yet ready to suggest to anyone that a system of controls should be imposed. GENEVA Discussing the East West agreement at Geneva on po licing of any nuclear test 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, such as the technical hed at Gr.a. an aaasily. Tha pupil jaaaj;nt tow tois.ln temperatures.

(AP) Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville today threw France's full support behind a Western plan to hand the Middle East problem over to Dag Hammarskjold. Ihe French diplomat, who ar rived here onlx Tuesday, urged the emergency U.NGeneral As sembly to place its confidenti in the secretary general and 'leave it to him to find ways to ease ten sion. Couve de Murville addressed the 81-nation body as intense be hind-the-scenes activities contin ued on behalf of rival Middle East plans. The Western resolution, backed by Norway and six other small Little Rock School Board Reveals Plan LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP) - The Little Rock school board, chal lenged by Gov. Orval Faubus to say how it would resist a resump tion of integration here next month, revealed a three-point plan last night. The board said it would: 1. Ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. 2. Request the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay its order, which overturned a lower court s approval of a 2'A-year integration delay. 3. Attempt to set up a meeting with Faubus to discuss several methods he has proposed to avoid integration despite court orders. Ihe moves were revealed after a closed session at which the board considered the Circuit Court's reversal Monday of an in tegration delay granted June 21 by Federal Judge Harry J. Lem ley of Hope, Ark. The school board had requested the delay. School Supt. Virgil Blossom said action on all three points was planned today. He said a writ of certiorari petition for review would be sent to the Supreme Court. If the high court, now in sum mer recess, approved the writ, an extraordinary session would be called to hear the case. The court is not scheduled to reconvene in regular session until October. An extraordinary session would keep the Circuit Court's decision from taking effect until the Su preme Court ruled, in effect stay ing the lower court's order. Blossom said the hoard also would request the appellate court to stay its own order. He said that until a mandate is received the prior ruling postponing inte gration is still in effect. Normally a court mandate is sent in 20 days, but it could come 1 sooner. School opens here Sept. : 2. Before last night's board meet ing, Faubus said his future actions depended on what the school board did. He said a special ses sion of the Legislature, considered imminent as a result of the over turning of the integration delay, would not be called if the board took some actions he outlined. He said the board could use 8 1956 slate pupil assignment law to keep Negroes out of white schools, or it could persuade Ne- gro students to stay out voluntar- lati Sales were Bob Rhodes, Klamath Falls, and Clyde Syll, Corning, California.

Center is WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1958 Telephone TU 4-8111 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 wunarawal oi U.S. troops Irom Lebanon and British forces from Jordan. They were .reported hav ing difficulties in the Asian-African group itself. The United States seeks to rally tne west s allies against the Asian- Aincan plan. The Americans are nlueeine hard for a Norwegian resolution asking U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to make ar rangements to insure the inde pendence of Lebanon and Jordan so the American and British troops can pull out. The resolution makes no specif ic demand for the withdrawal but cites declarations from the two Western allies that they will re move their troops when the U.N. decides they are no longer neces sary. The British-American idea is that Hammarskjold would arrange for some sort of U.N. force to re place the withdrawing troops. Secretary of state Dulles con ferred for more than an hour last night with representatives of the 20 Latin-American nations. Some of them were reported fearful that the Norwegian resolution could be used to justify intervention to keep an unpopular Latin-American gov ernment in power. Dulles reportedly told them these fears were groundless as far as the United States is concerned. Dulles also assured the Latin Americans that the United States has no intention of keeping its troops in Lebanon. The chairman of the Latin American group, Pacifico Montero de Vargas of Paraguay, said Dul les indicated the way might be clear by Sept. 30 to pull the Amer icans out of Lebanon. Under the Norwegian resolution. Hammar skjold would report to the General Assembly by that date on pros pects for a Middle East settlement Dulles added, however, that Jor dan, where British truons are sta tioned, could fall at any time and that security and order must be maintained there.

Most observers expected that as soon as the general speeches end. a lengthy wrangle will begin over the resolutions. To be adopted, a resolution must be approved by two thirds of the nations voting. Timber Firm Aide Testifies At Hearing SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) An executive of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company says his firm will increase lumber shipments into California if Southern Pacific is allowed to cut freight rates. This testimony came Tuesday from E. Earl Arthur, vice presi dent in charge of plywood and lumber sales. His firm is a sub sidiary of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Arthur appeared at Interstate Commerce Commission hearing on an 5P proposal to cut lumber freight rates between Southern Oregon and Southern California and Arizona. . Arthur said since Oregon rates were raised above 'those for Northern California in 1954, Wey- erhaeuser's lumber shipments into California have decreased steadily He said they dropped from 40 to IS per cent of total shipments at Klamath rails, Ore., and from 15 to 9 per cent at Springfield, Ore. He said they are now at the point where customers are de manding truck handling for speed and lower ultimato cost. If the new rates are not granted, he said, the shipments will probably have to go to trucks. Arthur said the new rales would have no effect on shipments at Coos Bay, Ore., where 96 per cent of the shipments go by sea. Arthur admitted that if Weyer haeuser increased its shipments into California, somebody would get hurt most likely Northern uharn fallt.rn,a mi An..n again, and to prevent further losses of rail lumber business to trucks. Larson said that before 1954, Northern California and Southern Oregon had equality of lumber rates.
