Little Rock to Use Private Building
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—(UPI)—The Little Rock Private School Corporation announced today that it will open private, segregated schools in private buildings next week if it can't use four closed high schools.
At the same time, the corporation appealed for public contributions to operate the schools and asked citizens to report any suitable private buildings around Little Rock that might be used for schools.
Dr. T. J. Raney, president of the corporation, announced the corporation's plans at a news conference in the state capitol.
He said, however, that nothing will be done pending the outcome of next Monday's hearing on a petition for a permanent injunction before the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Monday issued a temporary restraining order to the Little Rock School Board not to transfer the four high school buildings to the private school corporation
A hearing scheduled for next Monday will determine whether the order will be made into a permanent injunction. If the court does hand down an injunction, it will put the public school buildings out of the private school picture permanently.
Raney said the public school corporation also is studying plans for public appeals for donations to operate the schools.
He held a news conference in Gov. Orval E. Faubus' conference room in the state capitol. Raney read a prepared statement and refused to answer questions.
In Washington, President Eisenhower said today it is incumbent on officials of Arkansas and Virginia, along with all other Americans, to comply with federal court rulings on public school integration.
The President told his news conference that "any other course" but compilance with the federal courts and the re-opening of closed schools would be "fraught with grave consequences to our nation."
UAW Talks In Deadlock
DETROIT —(UPI)— The United Auto Workers Union appeared deadlocked on two fronts today in driving for contract agreements with General Motors and Chrysler.
The UAW had only about 24 hours to reach an agreement with General Motors before a deadline which would send 325,000 GM workers out on strike at plants throughout the nation.
There was no strike deadline in the talks between the union and Chrysler but negotiators were trying to reach an agreement there before any settlement was reached at GM.
UAW President Walter P. Reuther, who left Chrysler talks for the second time earlier this week, was participating in the negotiations at General Motors. A week ago he placed Chrysler on the "back burner" but returned to the smallest of the Big Three auto companies on Monday when talks at GM were recessed to allow striking GM workouts to end their "premature walk-outs," which Reuther said were interfering with progress of the talks at General Motors.

TAIPEI, Formosa —(UPI)—The Chinese Nationalists disclosed today that Communist artillery was shooting phosphorous fire shells against the besieged Quemoy islands.
Poetry Hour at 4 p.m. Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, assistant professor of English, will read the poetry of Lew Seart in the Music Room of the Kansas Union.
SATURDAY
The Nationalist defense ministry made the disclosure in a communique announcing that Red guns pounded the Quemoys with heavy new barrage today, firing at the rate of 15 shells a minute during a sustained six-hour siege from noon until 6 p.m.
The communique said that five fire-creating phosphorous shells were hurled against the tiny Tatan Island, a possible invasion target in the very mouth of Red China's vital Amoy harbor.
Badly burned soldiers evacuated from the Quemoyes have told newsmen previously they were seared by phosphorous shells. But this was the first confirmation from the defense ministry that the Reds were shooting fire shells at the Quemoyes.
The communique said 5,465 rounds were fired at the Quemoys during the six-hour afternoon bombardment. Seventeen rounds fired at little Quemoy Island were smoke-producing shells, but the reason for their use was not immediately clear
In his press conference this morning President Eisenhower said this country would continue to oppose Communist expansion in the Far East. He said that while it was debatable whether demilitarization of Quemoy after a Communist ceasefire might be negotiated, he thought that the maintenance of large Chinese Nationalist forces on Quemoy for an extended period was unwise.
Member Best Western Motels
Nationalist China has taken a grave view of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' statement that Nationalist Chinese troops should be withdrawn from the offshore islands if a ceasefire is reached.

Seemingly, bitter experience is no teacher, for here we are again fighting the books for another year. Our ever revered faculty has put the academic side of our college life into action in short order. Meanwhile, back at the Union, the SUA is finishing up the details of this year's program for those of us who occasionally find a few spare moments. For any of you with time on your hands, here are some suggestions for this week.
Want to snow your English instructor? Sit in on the Poetry Hour discussions on Thursdays at 4:00 in the Music Room. Believe it or not, poetry can be interesting (and each session is worth at least two brownie points!).
Be sure to bring your folks to the Pre-Game Buffet in the Kansas Union Ballroom this Saturday (the food's free!). After the game there will be a VICTORY celebration featuring cider, doughnuts, and roasted Buffalo in the south lounge.
Those of you who are looking for a cheap date (inexpensive evening, that is) ought to try a night of dining and dancing at the Trail Room. There is dancing every Wednesday night from 9 to 10 with music supplied by a real live, honest-to-gosh, dance band. And there's no cover charge!
Signs of activity are increasing all over the Hill as preparations for the SUA Carnival get into full swing. Don't be surprised if you see some mighty strange sights on the old campus in the near future—anything can happen at Carnival time!
Until next week I leave you with this one extraneous comment: Nothing robs a man of his good looks like a hurriedly drawn shade.
Henry P. Smith, professor of education, who is in charge of the program, said the classes are designed to help the students to "the correct approach to reading and study methods."
Students may enroll in 102 Bailey Hall from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Ten sections are scheduled for the first semester. The next class will be Saturday.
"Smiley" Joe
Classes are open without cost to any student. Topics covered include examination preparation, reading comprehension, and vocabulary improvement.
