LITTLE ROCK SCHOOLS
Private Opening Move Opposed (N.Z Press Association—Copyright) LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 24. The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People asked the United Slates District Court today to prevent the Little Rock School Board from leasing any of the city’s closed high schools for operation as private.' segregated schools. A hearing was set down for tomorrow. The move was designed to prevent the Governor of Arkansas (Mr Orval Faubus) from putting into operation his plan to sidestep the Supreme Court’s decree of immediate integration by making the schools private. Four white youths alleged that 15 or 16 negroes attacked them near a junior high school and beat them with football shoes. Police did not arrest any of the negro boys, and the whites were said not to have been seriously injured.
