Hurricane Carries
Punch Diminishes
See Cartoon On Page Six
MIAMI (UP)—Hurricane Carrie unexpectedly lost
some of its punch1 today. Its winds diminished from 160
to 130 miles per hour as it churned the Atlantic about 1,
900 miles east-southeast of Florida.
A Navy hurricane hunter which
investigated the powerful storm
this morning reported a slight rise
in pressure. This indicated the i
storm had lost some force.
But forecaster Paul Moore of
the w'eather bureau’s hurricane
central here said the lessening of
Carrie’s force is “nothing unusual
for hurricanes far out at sea.”
“It doesn’t mean that Carrie is
dying out,” he said. "In fact
there is a good chance that it will
pick up some of its force it lost
during the next few days as it
moves closer to the mainland.
A Navy Constellation plane lo
cated the center of the storm at
11 a m. near Latitude 19.5 north,
Longitude 51.8 west, about 950
miles east-northeast of San Juan,
Puerto Rico. It was moving in a
west - northwest direction at the
slow speed of nine miles per hour.
The San Juan weather bureau
advisory said the storm would
probably pick up speed slightly tc
j 10 miles an hour and continue in
! the same direction.
Enrollment Up 60 Students
Fates Kind To Dunn Schools
The fates smiled warmly
on Dunn High School as it
swung last week into the
new school year.
Despite the teacher shortage, a
last-minute break kept the high
school from being without a band
director. Populor Harvey Boscll,
who had given warning that he
was taking a Civil Service job in
West Virginia, changed his mind j
the day before school opened. j
“He decided he wanted to stay j
here because of his family,” said 1
Principal of Schools A. B. Johnson I
Accomplished band directors
are a rarity and the high school
was having no luck in seeking a re
placement for Bosell. By the time
school opened, though, all the
teacher and classspace problems
were resolved — at least tempoia
rily.
On the third day of school —
which was last Thursday — John
son found that total enrollment at
Wayne Avenue, Magngolia Avenue
and the high school building was
running to an even 1600, some 60
more than last year.
But additional classrooms have
eased the situation which prevail
ed last year when students had lo i
be staked out in nearby churches j

Dulles Predicting
Peace In Syria
WASHINGTON (UP)—Secretary of State John Foste
Dulles said today he believes the crisis in Syria will be set
tied peacefully.
Dulles emphasized that the Uni-}
ted States does not favor peace at ,
any price, and is ready to act, if
necessary, to meet Russia’s ef-'
Eorts to undermine the indepen
dence of Middle East states. |
He spoke as major elements of
the powerful U.S. 6th Fleet pa
trolled the “east-central Mediter
ranean” and jet fighters and other
arms were being sent to several
Middle East countries.
Administration officials said the
U.S. plane deliveries are in var
ious stages. A dozen speedy F86
Sabre jets already have been
flown into Saudi Arabia.
No Armed Force
Dulles, at a news conference,
virtually ruled out- the use of
armed force by this country tin
der the Eisenhower Doctrine—un
less the situation becomes much
worse.
He said he does not believe there
will be outright aggression by Sy
ria. Should it occur, he added, it
could be dealt with by nations in
the area.

3 Men Arrested,
Armed With Billy
Club, Machete
NASHVILLE, Tenn., (UP)
—A thunderous dynamite
blast demolished a newly-in
tegrated school here early
today, climaxing a day and
night of demonstrations and
violence protesting racial
mixing at the first-grade
level.
Police later arrested three white
men sitting in a car near another
of the seven Nashville grade
schools that were integrated Mon
[ day. Officers said a detonator was
found in the car, which was park
ed in front of a school about an
hour before school opening time.
The car was plastered with Ku
Klux Klan signs. Inside, police
found a billy club and a machete
—a large heavy knife of the va
riety used to chop through South
American jungles.
Seven persons demonstrating
around other Nashville schools to
day were arrested for disorderly
conduct. Scores of students stayed
away from classes on this second
day of the school year here.
Parents’ Boycott
An early check indicated that
a boycott of the schools by white
parents was spreading. Glenn
School Principal Mary Brent said I
“200 at most” were present of 550
enrolled. At Fehr school observers
doubted that more than 20 had
reported. Attendance at others
with Negro pupils was slim.
The four Negro children who en
rolled at Jones school Monday
were reported in classes, and one
or two were at Fehr. Classes be
gan at Glenn with no Negroes
present.
The $500,000 Hattie Cotton
School, where one NegPo child
began attending classes Monday,
was shattered at 12:45 a. m. by a
dynamite explosion that left only
■ the exterior walls standing. No
one was injured but nearby resi
dents were knocked from their
beds and windows were blown out
over an area of several blocks.
Police officials, angry over the
f early morning school bombing
roped off Integrated elementary
schools and in some instances let
nobody through the lines but the
youngsters themselves. Even the

'Patience At End' On Faubus
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., ((IP))
federal government’s
patience ran out on Gov. Or
val E. Faubus today and the
Justice Department filed an
injunction petition against
him for his continued defi
ance of school integration
orders.
The petition, which could even-;
tually bring Faubus into open
court, was requested Monday by i
U. S'. District Judge Ronald
Davies. The judge is expected to
issue an order in the case soon.
The action, which must travel
through legal court -processes,
came too late to give Negroes a
chance to enroll) in a controver
sial high school here this semes
ter.
The Justice Department asked
for both temporary and perman
ent injunctions against Faubus,
Maj. Gen. Sherman T. Clinger,
state adjutant general who is
commander of the National,
Guard, and Lt. Col. Marion T.
Johnson, unit commander of
troops Faubus has used to pre
vent integration of Central High
School.
Faubus Stand Secret
Faubus, who claims his action
was taken to preserve the peace
and prevent violence, has not dis
closed whether he will willingly
acept a subpena from the gov
ernment.
The Justice Department petition
did not request a temporary re
straining order against the gov
ernor, apparently dismissing the
chance for an early court show
down between the government
and the Arkansas state officials.
President Eisenhower, gravely
worried over the trouble in Ar
kansas, chose an avenue of pat
ient waiting in hope the situat
ion would clear up in Little Rock
without the necessity for drastic
federal measures.
Davies was expected to set a
hearing date for some time next
week on the government’s peti
tion.
The Justice Department citec
six points in which it contended
the governor and his military of
ficers had prevented integratior
at strife-torn'Central High in vio
lation of U. S. court mandates!
Points of Violation
1. The governor’s order to Gen
eral Clinger a week ago ordering
( the officer to place the school of
limits to Negro pupils and Negn
schools off limits to white stu
j dents.
j 2. It named ten students it sai<
were “forcibly prevented” fron
entering classes at Central High
