U.S. Obligation
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Eisenhower said today all
Americans have a solemn obliga
tion to comply with federal court
orders in the school integration
controversy.
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

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

France Throws Full Support Behind
Plan To Hand Dag Mideast Problem
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (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

to him to find ways to ease ten
sion.

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

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.
A key group of Asian-African
countries pushed a double-barreled
move to scuttle the Western
plan in favor of a demand for the

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

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.

Livestock Buyers
Pay Big
By RUTH KING
Livestock buyers, the backbone
of Klamath County's annual . 4-H
and FFA Junior livestock sales for
23 years, dug deep last night to
pay the whopping sum of $46,-1
983.75, for 102 head of prime
steers, 106 head of fat lambs and
59 hogs. This is one of the larg
est totals paid at a junior livestock
sale in Klamath Falls.
The sale in the L.A. West Live

capacity crowd that flowed into the1
tiers of seats following the hie
barbecue in the grandstand on the
lalrgrounds.
Sponsor of the livestock show,
the Klamath Falls Rotary Club,
also prepares and serves the ban
quet that each year draws more
than 2,500 persons.
The sale, that required about
four hours to complete, moved
swiftly under the voices of two
auctioneers, Bob Rhodes of Klam
ath Falls and Clyde Syll of Corn
ing, who cried the sale without
charge.
Prices were slightly lower than
last year in most instances. The
added number of livestock this
year accounted for the increased
sale total.
One hundred and two head of
steers, weighing 91,370 pounds sold
for $34,377.15, bringing an aver
age price of 37.62 cents per pound
or $337.03 per head.
In the sheep division, 106 ani
mals, weighing 9,750 pounds, sold
for $6,034.50, 61.9 cents average
per pound, $56.93 average per
head.
Fifty nine hogs- weighing 11,575
total, sold for an average of 55.9
cents per pound, 111.39 average
per head or a total of $6,572.10.
