Little Rock White Pupils In Classes „ Rigidly Segregated Classes Being Held LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UPI) — More than 500 white students of Little Rock's four closed high schools start their first classes since last spring today at a Bap-tist-sponsored high school and the Little Rock Private School Corporation’s high school, both rigidly segregated. Classes will start Nov. 3 for about 50 more displaced teenagers at a Baptist College at Conway, Ark., 32 miles north of Little Rock. The city’s public high schools were closed by Gov. Orval Faubus to keep them from being integrated by Negroes. W. C. Brashears, superintendent of the private high school, said 218 juniors would start classes today in a metal shed at the rear of the one-time Methodist orphanage that houses the already-crowded high school. He said he hoped to get classes for sophomores going by Nov. 3. Classes for seniors began Oct. 22. Meanwhile, Gov. Faubus warned that if any cmfrches or schools in Arkansas get bombed, “I will use all the powers at my command to bring the culprits to justice.” Both Little Rock synagogues have gotten bomb threats and a hot springs junior high got its second bomb threat Monday. A junior high in Jacksonville, Ark., just outside Little Rock was emptied after someone telephoned a bomb had been planted there. None was found.

Report Drowned Man Was Being Chased INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Police investigated a report of witnesses today that a youth who drowned in the Indianapolis Water Company canal Sunday was being chased by three men. Frank Pierce Jr., 20, Indianapolis, who drowned, was identified incorrectly as Charles William Rice, 26, Indianapolis. Police said Rice dived into the canal trying to save Pierce. Pierce has served a six-month sentence at the Indiana State Farm in 1957 in the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old youth. Police said Pierce might have jumped into the water in an attempt to stop his pursuers from taking S2B he was carrying. Pierce was born in Canton, Miss., and came here three years ago. Fugate Jurors Face Rough Questioning Defense Attorney To Quiz Prospects LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) — Defense attorney John McArthur warned he will put prospective jurors through rough questioning today in the robbery-murder trial of 15-year-old Caril Ann Fugate. “I like to get a lot of personal information,” McArthur said. “I want to know how old they are and I’ll try to find out if they know the difference between willing and unwilling participation. It may be rough.” Caril is charged with the first degree robbery-murder of Robert Jensen, 17, With the aid of her garbage * collector boy friend, Charles Starkweather, 19, last Jan. 27. Starkweather was convicted last May of the murder and sentenced to death. The conviction has been automatically appealed to the Nebraska Supreme Court. Caril pleaded innocent, contending she was Starkweather's hostage and feared for her life throughout the week-long rampage last January when 10 persons were killed before Starkweather and Caril were captured in Wyoming. County Atty. Elmer Scheele tentatively approved 33 of the 34 prospective jurors from which the jury of 12, plus two alternates, will be chosen. The 34th was expected to be selected today, and the defense will then take its turn at questioning. i Scheele’s questioning of each prospective juror lasted less than five minutes, but McArthur said he would need more time. He doubted that the jury would be impaneled before Wednesday afternoon. It was not clear whether either side would call Starkweather, who first cleared Card of taking part in the string of murders which terrorized this city of 120,000 and then implicated her. Scheele did not include the ban-dy-legged youth’s name among the persons he expected to call as a state's witness, but he did not rule out that possibility. McArthur also was indefinite. “I wouldn’t use Starkweather as a witness, but I might use him as an exhibit,” McArthur said. Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Declines To Review Fatal Crash Case State High Court Denies Petition INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court has declined to review the question of whether or not- the alleged intoxication of a driver in a fatal crash should be considered as a collision cause, or only the position of the vehicles at the time of the impact. The decision came when the state’s highest court denied a petition, of one of two truck firms whose vehicles were involved in a collision June 29, 1949 on U.S. 41 near Sterling. The lower court decision was in Gibson Circuit Court on a suit to determine which firm should pay damages. Judge Frederick Landis, as acting chief justice, signed a denial of transfer from Appellate to Supreme Court late Monday, without citing an opinion. The Appellate Court had ordered a new trial in the case on the grounds that the jury should have been allowed to decide whether the collision which killed a driver for Morrow, Inc., was the "proximate result” of the alleged intoxication of a driver for Quality Beverage Company, a beer wholesaler. The lower court had directed a verdict for Quality Beverages, and awarded the firm $8,300. Attorneys for the firm argued that in reversing this decision the Appellate Court "erroneously decided a new question of law by holding it could reasonably be inferred that the alleged intoxication of appellee’s driver was the proximate cause of the accident

High Court To Hear Test Security Case Court Is Recessed Until November 10 WASHINGTON (UPI) — A government official said today comparatively few security clearances have been withheld under the industrial workers program now up for Supreme Court review. The official estimated that since 1949 there have been about 3,500.000 clearances of civilians working in aircraft and other defence industries. In the past five years, he said, 3,459 cases have come up involving some sort of derogatory information. About two thirds of these persons were cleared in Defense Department review procedures. Clearances were denied or revoked in 1,006 cases. The official gave the figures

after the high court agreed Monday to hear a test case brought by a one-time SIB,OOO-a-year aeronautical engineer who lost his job with a Riverdale, Md., firm after the Navy withdrew his clearance. The engineer, William L. Greene, told the court he had to take work as a $4,400-a-year draftsman. His attorney refused to disclose Greenes whereabouts. The charges were, among others, that Greene in the past was associated with Communists and with Communist "front” organizations and that his former wife had been an ardent Communist. The court will hear arguments on the case later this term and then make a formal ruling. In a 15-minute session Monday the court also agreed to look into the 1954 firing of an Interior Department employe in the Pacific who claimed the government pinned “a badge of infamy" on him. Then the nine justices recessed until Nov. 10 to devote themselves to writing opinions. They have been hearing cases the past two weeks.
