Faubus Prepares To Face Judge
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—(UP)—Gov. Orval E. Faubus and Rep. Brooks Hays (D-Ark) were expected to confer again today on how Faubus may explain to a federal judge Friday his actions in the Central High School integration battle.
Hays postponed a speaking engagement scheduled in Oklahoma City today. The soft-spoken congressman, credited with bringing Faubus and President Eisenhower together last Saturday, said he expects to meet with the governor this morning.
Friday Faubus must appear in U.S. District Court before Judge Ronald N. Davies to show cause why he should not be enjoined from interfering with integration at Central High unless he removes his troops from the school before that time.
A 'Normal' Day In Tenn
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — (UP) — Meanwhile, in Nashville, Tenn., things were calm today after the first "normal" school day since first grade integration went into effect Sept. 9.
Nine negroes attended previously all-white schools when classes resumed yesterday after students were given a long weekend to attend the state fair. School officials said classrooms were full and no disturbances of any kind were reported.
Also in Nashville John Kasper pleaded innocent to a charge of inciting the riots and he was given 60 days to prepare a defense. The roving segregationist was arrested last week as police took stiff action against shouting and rock-throwing demonstrators.
Storm Slaps Gulf Coast
NEW ORLEANS, — (U.P.)— Tropical storm Esther hit southeast Louisiana today with gale winds, high tides and heavy rains that caused only light damage to the coastal area battered by two other blows in recent months.
Coastal residents, wary of the dangers of gulf hurricanes, fled inland to avoid the type of disaster that hit the same general area in June, killing almost 500.
Flooding caused some damage along the coast but the people who inhabit the region had left in plenty of time to escape a 5-foot wall of water pushed out of the Gulf of Mexico by steady 40-50 mile an hour winds.
The storm, blowing winds up to 64 miles an hour, swept inland over heavily-populated New Orleans and dumped eight inches of rain on the south Louisiana metropolis before heading eastward into Mississippi.
Autopsy Planned For Dead Student
WICHITA, Kan., — (U.P.) — An autopsy was scheduled today to determine the cause of death of a 19-year-old Wichita University student whose bullet-pierced body was found late yesterday on a country dane.
Gerald B. Bettis, Wichita, had been reported missing since Friday. His body, a single bullet wound through the mouth, was found by policewoman Bonnie Meeyle in a ditch alongside a rural road northeast of here.
B.A. At K-State Wins Approval
MANHATTAN—(UP) Agitation to change the name of the college to university and approval of the bachelor of arts degree are "signs of broadened objectives and academic maturity at Kansas State College," Arthur D. Weber, acting president, told K-State students today.
Reviewing recent developments at the college, Weber expressed conviction that "the liberal arts have an essential place in the land-grant scheme." He added that at K-State there "is an increasing awareness of the role the liberal arts can play in the lives of all the people."
Weber said he had been asked many times to state his position on changing the name of the college, and revealed he had favored the change to university at a meeting of the K-State alumni directors in May, 1956.
"As an alumnus of K-State, I would vote to change the name of Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science to Kansas State University," Weber said.
