Local Attorney Robert C. Bry an, who went to Pittsburgh this weekend to solicit the support of the 101st Airborne Association, reported the board of governors of that group passed a favorable resolution.

(UP)—The nation’s fore- ; most beauty contest, the ' Miss America pageant, be- i gins today with 51 talented beauties vying for the title of “Miss America 1958“ and the multitude of glories that ' go with it. \ Preliminary peeks at the home : folks choices from 45 states, three major cities, two territories and ' Canada indicated it would take the mirror of Snow White’s step- 1 mother to determine who is the 1 fairest of them all. 1 EVERY MINUTE BUSY 1 From this point on, every min- j ute of every waking hour will be plotted for the young misses. The hectic pace began this morning with the bathing suit picture, ' posed along the colonnades out side Convention Hall, the tradi tional grouping of the girls which has graced as many saloon win - dows as Custer’s last stand. The first of the dazzling per formances — with no slight meant to the bathing suit appearance — takes place tonight when the girls participate in the American beau ty illuminated parade. In all, 29 floats and 25 bands will be in the line of march with the tootlers including the Charles ton, W. Va., high school bard and the band of gold from Inman, S. C., a subtle reminder that last year’s Miss America was a South Carolina girl. Rebecca Ann Lee of Roanoke, Va. and Dunn, N.

The six men and six worn en jurors were to form an ‘on the-spot” opinion if it could have been possible for Miss O’Hara to have staged a torrid love scene in the loges of the theater. Prosecutor William Ritzi claim ed it would have been impossible for the ‘‘love making” described in the lurid story to have taken place in theater seats. Defense Attorney Arthur J. Crowley was just as sure the story, “It Was The Hottest Show In Town When Maureen O’Hara Cuddled In Row 35,” was true in every spicy detail. Both the prosecution and de fense have made the Miss O’Hara story a major issue at the trial, now in its fifth week. The prosecution has indicated it may call the red haired actress to the stand as a rebuttal witness. Miss O'Hara angrily denied out of-court that the episode ever hap pened. Ritzi predicted the trial would last at least another two weeks. The trial was in recess over the Labor Day weekend and will be recessed again Thursday for a day because of a crowded court calen dar. Brownell Now Considering Ark. Action WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower said today that Atty. Gen. Her bert Brownell Jr., is inves tigating the use of National Guard troops to prevent school integration in Little Rock, Ark. He said Brownell will set his bourse of action after a conference with the federal judge who or dered the integration. The President also told his news ?onference that the overall pro gress of school integration is Sound to be slow. He said ten sion between races can be licked inly by Americans being true to themselves and not approaching he problem emotionally. Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus. ?alled out National Guardsmen to srevent Negroes from registering 'or the fall term at a Little Rock ligh school. Faubus said the move was aimed at preventing “violent ind blodshed.’’ Other news highlight: Eisenhower said that while he s not advocating a buyers’ strike, ie thinks Americans should buy nore selectively and carefully to •ombat inflation. He called infla ion our major internal problem. Irked at Congress He said he had not materially •hanged his view that the record )f the 85th Congress in its first session just ended was tremendous y disappointing. He said Congress actually cut lis approrpriations budget be - ween 900 million and one billion iollars which, he said, is not a 1 sufficient saving to justify a tax 'eduction in the near future. He took a somewhat pessimistic dew toward the London disarma nent talks, saying he could see no •onstructive new step possible by he United States. Any move oward improving tne situation, he said, will have to come from the tussians. And this, he said, seem ’d unlikely this morning. He warned against placeing full ■redence in the Russian announce- 1 nent that Soviet scientists had de- ; eloped and fired an inter - con - 1 inental ballistics missile. He said 1 or a long tim£ a long-range rr.is ile would not be the best method or the delivery of an explosive i harge. He pointed out in this con- i lection that there is a tremendous !

Amid jeers and catcalls — bat without violence—five Negro ou Jils were escorted into a previous y all-white school here by a po iceman, and attended classes vith white students. One of them, a 10-year-old girl, vas crying and tears streamed lown her cheeks as a group of ibout 10 white teen-agers, appar ■ntly high school students, scream 'd and shouted at her.

Death Toll Is Nearing 200 Defective Wheel Blamed For Tragedy KENDAL, Jamaica (UP)—A survivor of one of the worst railroad wrecks in history said today that a defec tive wheel slipped off the speeding train just before it crashed. nff thp fraeVc anH mnuntoH The accident occurred half a | mile from Kendall Sunday night ! as an excursion train sped back to Kingston from Montego Bay with 1,500 Roman Catholic weekend va cationists aboard. The death toll neared 200. The 12-car train hit a curve and leaped the tracks, demolishing coaches and spreading disaster. More than 700 were injured. There were tales today of dra matic escape. One of those who survived was Pauline Donald, a teen-ager whose aunt died in the crash. It was she who indicated the possible cause of the disaster. “They had trouble with a wheel on the way out and some men tig htened it at Montego Bay,” she said. “But it gave trouble again on the way back. “It flashed fire and seemed to be slipping. We were going very fast and someone said, ‘The wheel has slipped off’ Then — crash, smash—everything came off.” Pauline was riding in the fourth coach from the end. It ran embankment, but she escaped. Gov. Defies U. S. Order With Guard ATLANTA (UP) — Racial integration of public schools spread uneasily further into the Southland today, but Ar kansas Gov. Orval E. Fau bus defied a federal order and blocked with troops in tegration in a Little Rock school Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. began an immediate investi gation of the use of the National Guard troops to prevent obedience to the court orders. President Eisenhower told his news conference today that the overall progress of school inte gration is bound to be slow. He said tension between the races can be solved only by approach in gthe problem calmly. A shower of pebbles, hoots and jeers greeted 13 Negroes who en tered the Sturgis, Ky., high school under watchful eyes of state troopers. No one was injured. “Get out of her, you old black man” were words shouted at the Negroes who arrvied in a five-car caravan at the Kentucky integra tion hot spot. But the crowd of some 200 peresons outside *he school began to disperse as the Negroes entered the building. Negroes Kept Out Little Rock’s Central High School, where about 15 Negroes were to have enrolled today, was 3 tense scene of bristling armor 6f the National Guard—halftracks, rifles, clubs and pistols. A cordon of some 250 guards men and state troopers — being used by the Arkansas governor as an "arm of the militia,” ringed the school to prevent integration. The attempt was 100 per cent suc cessful. None of the Negroes whoed up. The Little Rock Board of Edu cation appealed to the Negroes not to enter the Central High School or any other Little Rock school. Greensboro, N. C., trying inte gration for the first time, reported a similar experience — threats and jeers but no violence. Police Protection (Continued Oi.

Dunn restaurant and motel own ers, disturbed over a report that two lanes will be opened this year to by-pass Dunn like an island,1 pointed out that only nine miles has been completed. Earl Westbrook and J. D. Barn es of Dunn were on the commis j sioners’ doorsteps asking relief shortly after the session began. | They explained the situation and termed the matter “grave” for Dunn business firms. They said a delegation of about 40 would join them shortly, but when the others arrived Chairman Lofton Tart smilingly told them that the board had already adopt ed the resolution they sought. The county board accepted the resignation of County Solicitor Charles Williams of Erwin, who is accepting a position with an in surance company.

The fashion show was first held last year. “Not all of the local stores would go along with us,” said Mrs. Mul ler. “I imagine they weren’t sure it would turn out like we wanted it to.
