Whites Walk Out At Little Rock
LITTLE ROCK. Ark.—(UP))-About 50 white students walked out of Central High School today and burned an effigy figure of $ \varepsilon $ Negro student in an organized demonstration against integration.
University Daily Kansan
A heavily-reinforced troop guard promptly broke up the demonstration, dispersed the small crowd, and erected blockades to seal off the street in front of the high school.
Demonstration Falls Short
The demonstration fell far short of the "mass walkout" of hundreds of white students which segregationist groups, including the so-called "Central High Mothers' League," had sought to organize.
The demonstration took place less than an hour after nine negro students had been escorted into the school under the heaviest armed guard since the first day of integration last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the stalemate between Gov. Oravl E. Faubus and President Eisenhower continued.
Faubus Will Not Surrender
Faubus said today he is willing to negotiate further with President Eisenhower on the Little Rock School integration crisis but he will not agree to a "complete and unconditional surrender."
Faubus told a news conference that he would be glad to have further talks with Eisenhower "on a basis of mutual trust and self respect."
Faubus retorted: "I do not." "think they want me to do the same thing that Eisenhower did when he demanded complete and unconditional surrender of the Germans."
When asked if he felt that such an attitude prevailed at this time,
President Eisenhower said that federal troops will have to remain in Little Rock unless Gov. Faubus changes his stand on school integration and gives satisfactory and unequivocal assurance that law and order will be maintained.

Clark said additional work is being done, plus some finishing touches on the parking lot, which will add another $120,000 to the total.
Air Force Jet Pilot Sees Flying Saucer
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Nonofficial flying saucer investigators report than an Air Force jet chased a big and speedy "circular flying object" in the far east last December.
Iney said the jet got within five miles of the object before it flew off at a speed between 1,800 and 2,160 miles an hour.
The National Investigating Committee of Aerial Phenomena said a "Far East Air Force Office" had advised that an unidentified jet pilot picked up the "UFO" (unidentified flying object) as a strange object on his radar screen, and started pursuit at more than 800 miles an hour.

Asks U.S. Air All On Faubus
CHICAGO — (UP) — Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin of Maryland implied today that the full story of racial violence in Little Rock has not been told and said the federal government "should reveal all that it knows."
"I believe the time has come when the federal government should reveal all that it knows of events and maneuvers preceding the calling out of the National Guard on Sept. 2, and of all that happened behind the scenes in Arkansas after the guard was withdrawn under an order of the court."
"The situation created by the Governor of Arkansas has done more damage to the cause of state sovereignty and state responsibility than anything that has occurred in this generation.
"It is a matter of grave concern not only for the south but for all the states. The cry of states' rights has a very hollow ring when accompanied by a governor's denial of the rights and perrogatives of municipalities and other levels of government within a state."
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —(UP)—U. S. Sen. William F. Knowland became an official candidate for governor today against his fellow Republican,' Gov. Goodwin J. Knight.
Knowland Now In Race Officially
In a formal statement read to television, radio and news men, the 49-year-old GOP minority leader in the Senate and a potential Presidential candidate in 1960 or 1964 announced his intentions to engage in an all-out battle with Knight in the June 1958 primary election.
Knight already has announced he is in the race for a new four-year term. The democratic party standard-bearer has not yet been announced officially but it is expected to be Attorney General Edmund G. Brown.
Knowland said he could not agree with various Republican leaders including Gov. Knight that a primary election fight between him and Knight would wreck the GOP in California.
"I do not agree with those who say it is 'disruptive' or 'catastrophic' to have primary contests," Knowland said. "At a time when over 900 million people in this world have lost their liberties, I believe Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike are proud to demonstrate that in America the voters are free to choose between candidates and parties, and can do so with wisdom and responsibility."

Red Scientist Reveals Meteorological Rocket
WASHINGTON — (UP) — The Soviet Union has opened up somewhat on some of its rocket plans for the present international geophysical year (IGY).
A Russian scientist, A. M. Kasatkin, startled an eagerly attentive audience of international rocket experts Wednesday night with a full description of work on a soviet "meteorological rocket."
Kasatink described a meteorological rocket which normally rises to an altitude of 95 kilometers (about 60 miles). He promised the Soviets would give details at a later conference on a new "geological rocket" which operates up to 200 kilometers.
Kasatkin revealed, with pictures, that the nose and body of the meteorological rocket are floated back to earth with two separate parachutes and frequently land within a radius of one kilometer (about five-eights of a mile) from the launching tower.
He said that at a high state of the rocket trajectory, the parachute on the head of the rocket has a stabilizing effect which prolongs the instrumental observations which are being made.
The booster gives an initial speed of 170 meters per second. At 30 kilometers high the speed of the rocket is over 1100 meters per second, and continues to accelerate. The body and head separate at an altitude of about 70 kilometers and the head continues to gain height to about 90 kilometers.
The meteorological rocket starts with a booster which has solid fuel around the sides and a hollow center. When the liquid fuel in the rocket itself is fired, the exhaust is forced back through the hollow tube in the booster, thus accelerating the rocket flight in its earliest stage.

Satellite Moon May Give Information About Weather
WASHINGTON — (UP) — An artificial moon with four tiny sensors protruding like eyes on stalks will attempt next year to measure the heat in the gigantic atmospheric cauldron that manufactures the weather.
If the attempt is successful it will give weather forecasters vital information now almost completely lacking.
The experiment was described by Dr. V. E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin at a 13-nation conference on rocket and satellite programs of the International Geophysical Year.
The so-called "heat balance"
There are only 51 Texas Rangers for the entire state of Texas.
one of six major scientific missions assigned to the artificial moons this country will try to launch into 18.- 000-mile-an-hour flights around the earth starting early next spring.
Testimony Knocks Out Juror
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (UP) — A doctor's description of the plaintiff's injury in a damage suit was a bit too vivid. A mistrial was declared after one of the jurors collapsed.
Just Building Clubhouse
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. — (UP) — Police yesterday halted the demolition of a $250,000 steel building. The wreckers, three youngsters aged 12 to 14, said they were tearing off corrugated iron to build a clubhouse.
The ball game was close. A tense crowd filled the stands. The count on the batter was three and two. The pitch was hard and fast—the batter swung with all his might. The sharp, clean crack of a well hit ball was louder than the roar of the crowd. Rounding third base the new home run king smiled broadly, and trotted not to the bench, but across the street. A number of his teammates followed.
Was it the series? No, unless you could call it the Lawrence little league series, it wasn't. The players were about junior high school age, and their uniforms included blue jeans.
Give The Braves Some Ball Players Find New Lift In Lawrence
But back to the home run king—where was he going? He and his palts tumbled through the door of the building and confronted one of those lucky KU students who stays in Lawrence all summer. "What'll it be boys?" he asked. "Between the ten of us," said the home run king. "we've got 90 cents, can you cut one in 10 pieces?"
If you don't know where the South Park baseball diamond is, and you don't know what is across the street
at 106 North Park (the street is called North Park because it's north of South Park), you may not realize that the boys were ordering a pizza.
"Yes," said the KU student, "I guess we can cut one into ten pieces." "Good. I've got the most money, so I get the biggest piece," said a very small player. The boys watched eagerly as "Mr. Pizza," as they called him, kneaded a piece of dough. Their eyes popped when the piece of dough was dropped into a machine and came out flat and round. Spread on a plate and trimmed, the dough was covered with a deep red sauce. "What's that," the boys asked, "Sauce," said Mr. Pizza. "What's in it?" they wanted to know. "That's a secret," they were told.
To shorten what seemed like a long 10 minutes, cheese was put over the sauce, and the whole thing put in a big oven. When it came out brown and crisp, it was cut in ten pieces and put on ten plates and carried outside by ten boys.
Who won the ball game? The pizza eaters of course! It may be the Campus Hideaway now, but it was the League Hideaway last summer. (paid advertisement)
