Ike Hopes Troops
Can Soon Be
Withdrawn
WASHINGTON UP)—Presi
dent Eisenhower said today
he is very hopeful that
federal troops can be with
drawn from Little Rock’s
Central High School soon.
He made the statement at his
news conference when asked if he
agreed with Rep. Brooks Hays (D
Ark.) that the time was “rapidly
approaching" when the situation
would calm down enough for lo
cal officials to handle.
Eisenhower said he certainly
was very hopeful that that would
be the case. As soon' as' local of
ficials say that they have the
thing right in their hands, he
said, the federal government
would have no other function at
the school.
Faubus To Blame
The president indicated belief
that there would have been no tro
uble in integrating the school if
Gov. Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas
had not called out the National
Guard to prevent it.
When asked if he believed that
was the case, Eisenhower first
said he was being asked to specu
late. But he added that integra
tion had starter peacefully at oth
er Arkansas schools and said he
didn't know of any particular rea
son why it would have been dif
ferent at Little- Rock if Faubus
hadn’t intervened.
All but about five minutes of the
33-minute news conference was de
voted to the satellite and missile
programs of Russia and the Unit
ed States.
Zhukox Not Invited
The President denied that Rus
sia had made any formal request
that Marshal Georgi K. Zhukc*x
visit this country.

They're Real Fancy Pants, Too
He May Be Boss,
She Wears The Pants
NEW YORK (UP)—Today’s woman wears the pants
at home, even if hubby bosses the household.
This fall, the top fashions for
hearthside are fancy trousers and
skirts, or the two in combination
and m?Tny of them so elaborate
you’d think the wearer was head
ed for a ball.
“It’s about time glamor at*home
caught on.” said young Tom Bri
gance, an old hand at creating
leisure wear NOT meant for bend
ing over a hot cook stove.
“I’ve always opposed that jeans
at-home business,” said Brigance.
“Jeans aren’s feminin. they’re
too workmanlike.”
Brigance advocates an at-home
wardrobe, and if you’re not con
structed for those skinny trousers
there are plenty of skirts—some
street length, some sweeping the
floor. One of the most striking
costumes in his collection is black
taffeta combined with yellow sa-,
tin.
Others Doing- Same
The taffeta is used for a coat,
and on the lines of a man’s shirt,
but with eyelet cutout'around the
hem to help display the yellow
trousers.
Brigance is just one of numer
ous designers lending opulence to
the hearthside. Leo Ritter, a fur
rier, made mink jackets to top

Program Is
On Schedule
Bv UNITED PRESS
President Eisenhower said
today the first of four small
U. S. satellites will be fired
in December with the first
fully-instrument-laden sph
ere due to go up in March.
Meantime .Defense Secretary
| McElroy told his first news con
ference a speedup in the U. S.
missile program is under consi
deration.
Doors Locked
The President’s meeting with re
porters was largely dominated by
'he subject of the Russian satel
lite and the comparable Ameri
can position. A few minutes be
fore Eisenhower entered the con
ference, room, Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty had the Secret
Service and White House police
seal all entrances to the room and
then distributed the President's
statement.
The President entered about
three minutes later, made no ref
erene to the statement and said he
was ready to proceed with quest
ioning.
A reporter jumped to his feet
and said Russia had put a satel
lite aloft and also claimed to have
fired successfully an ICBM.
“What are we going to do about
it?” the reporter asked.
General Discussion
The President rocked for a mo
ment on the balls of his feet,
clasped his hands behind his back
and started in on a lengthy dis
cussion of the American satellite
and ballistic missile programs.
He pointed out that (in hisopin
ion the Russian satellite was re
lated to the ICBM only in the
strictest physical sense, but that
actually there were two entirely
separate programs of develop

He said the current sum allot

program was 110 million dollars
and that this figure might have
to be increased.

Spring Branch Set
For Big Homecoming
On Sunday, October 13th at eleven o’clock, historic
Spring Branch Church will observe another annual home
coming and harvest day. This occasion will mark the 162nd
anniversary of the church. The present building dates back
to 1905.
Originally the church was call
ed Mingo i from 1795 to 1832) un
til the congregation "split” over
the subject of missions. The "mis
sionary group” outnumbering the
"anti-missionary”, organized a
new church located near a small
branch known as Spring Branch,
hence the name "Spring Branch
Church” came into being.
Old Mingo Church was in the
Neuse Association from 1795 to
about 1840 when it transferred to
the Raleigh association, remaining
in it until 1858, at which time it
withdrew to help form the Cedar
Creek Association.
It was at Spring Branch when
the Raleigh Association met there
Oct. 10, 1846 that the associat
ion accepted Matthew' T. Yates as
their missionary to China. Mr.

Reiterates Soldiers Invading Girls' Privacy
Faubus Sticks T© Charge
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.,'lPl—
Gov. Orval E. Faubus claim
ed today he has names, ad
dresses and telephone num
bers of persons who can sup
port his charge that soldiers
enforcing integration at Mi
tral High School invaded the
privacy of the girls’ dressing
rooms.
He indicated that his inform
ants included students, teachers
and possibly members of the mil
itary itself.
“I do not choose to release the
names of the students at this
time because they probably would
be expelled,” Faubus told a news
conference.
“If I named a teacher or teach
ers they probably would be fired.
If I name a soldier or soldiers
they would probably be court -
martialled.”
Proof of Wrong
lie said this was “further
proof” that military enforcement
of integration and the presence
of troops at the school is “im
practicable.”
He noted there had been “fran
tic denials” in Washington of his
charge, originally made Monday
to Maj. Gen Edwin A. Walker,
federal trooper commander here,
that soldiers had accompanied Ne
gro girl students into dressing
rooms.
The White House, on the same
day the charge was made public,
denounced them as “completely
untrue and completely vulgar.”
Nine Negro students arrived as
usual today in an Army station
wagon escorted by National
Guardsmen in two jeeps. White
students were clustered about the
entrance, but ignored what has
become a familiar scene.
