WASHINGTON UP — Four moderate southern governors renewed efforts today to work out an agreement between the White House and Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus for removal of federal troops from Little Rock. One of the four, Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee, said “negotiations have not terminated.” "I am not at liberty to say what is going on this morning,” Clement said, “but negotiations are continuing. I am going to do everything I can to solve thi: dilemma.” A plan worked out by the governors and President Eisenhowei Tuesday on the Little Rock troop issue broke down—at least temporarily—Tuesday night. Under the plan, Faubus was to give public assurance that he would maintain law and order in Little Rock if federal troops were removed and not permit federal court orders in the integration situation to be obstructed. Eisenhower in turn was to promise to restore the federalized Arkansas National Guard to state control immediately and remove federal troops “as soon as practicable’ afterward. But when Faubus issued his public statement his language was not satisfactory to Eisenhower, and the President said that “under the circumstances” he had “ no recourse at the present time except to maintain federal surveillance of the situation.” Gov. Faubus intimated that so far as he is concerned, the next move in the situation is up to Eisenhower.

Seek Link To Unsolved Crimes ... JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.

Victor Wayne Whitley, 26. Granger, Tex., was captured Tuesday near North Vernon, Indiana, after a night-long search by a force of about 250 polce officers.

The tall, blond bandit, held in jail here under a heavy guard, admitted he and his slain accomplice staged a cros«-country crime spree before their wild two-state flight that began Monday afternoon in Michigan. In their wake the killers left one state patrolman dead and j one wounded seriously in Michigan, and another state policeman dead and two police officers wounded, one critically, in Indiana. Also killed was Whitley’s partner in crime, Ralph Walker Taylor 36, of near St. Alban’s, W. Va.

NINE NEGROES ENTER SCHOOL BY SIDE DOOR CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL AT LITTLE ROCK ARK.,

NOT SO C ALM

LITTLE ROCK. Ark., UP — Nine Negro students entered Central High School without a troop escort this morning. They were greeted by jeers and catcalls from some 40 white students who had assembled on the school steps. The Negroes, six girls and three boys, were driven to school as usual in an Army station wagon preceded and followed by jeeploads of National Guardsmen. The students got out and walked unescorted across the campus. Instead of walking up the front steps, as on previous days they veered and entered the building through a side entrance on the ground level. A group of 40 to 50 white boys and gills stood on the steps awaiting their arrivals. Such a group has been on the steps each morning since integration began. As it became apparent that the Negro children would not walk up the steps through this crowd, some of the white youths shouted “chicken” and made jeering noises. National Guardsmen, now under federal command, resumed daytime sentry duty around the school at dawn, relieving paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division who had stood the night watch.
