Situation at
Little Rock High
Near Normal
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., UPC-Nine
Negro students were escorted
without incident yesterday into
Central High School for another
day of racially integrated classes.
Half a dozen federalized Na
tional Guardsmen crossed the
campus with the Negroes. Several
score white students looked on.
There was no demonstration.
Aside from the presence of the
troops and the knotty issue which
keeps them there, conditions at
Central High were edging back
toward normal.
In advance of the opening of
classes yesterday, school authori
ties said 46 out of 74 students who
have been under suspension have
been reinstated or will be soon.
Most of the suspensions were
for three days; others were for
indefinite terms. Many of those
barred from classes had taken
part in a walkout or in other dis
turbances.
In addition, attendance at Cen
tral High Wednesday totaled
1,773, with 190 absent. The ab
sentees included those under sus
pension. School officials have said
normal absenteeism runs about
five percent—which would come
to around 100 pupils out of Cen
tral High’s enrollment of almost
2,000.
At the peak of the tension
growing out of racial integration
ordered at the school by the fed
eral courts, absenteeism reached
750.

‘KNOCKOUT BLOW’ TO POLIO
SEEN IN VACCINE’S SUCCESS
WASHINGTON, UR—Secretary
of Welfare Folsom yesterday re
ported a dramatic 80 percent re
duction in paralytic polio in this
country over the past two years.
A sharp decline was noted also
in the less severe non-paralytic
cases.
Folsom said the success of Salk
polio vaccine provides the means
for “a knockout blow” to the
dread disease next year if the
millions of Americans under 40
who still have not done so will
get the full three recommended
doses.
He spoke out in a statement
launching a new program to en- i
courage use of the vaccine.
He reported that the number of
paralytic polio cases this year up
thru Sept. 28 was only 1,576, com
pared with 6,886 two years ago,
before widespread use of the Salk
vaccine, and 5,241 cases up to this
time in 1956.
A check of records showed that
deaths from polio in the first sev
en months of this year were esti
mated at 130, compared with an
estimated 220 for the similar 1956
span and an actual 257 in the cor
responding 1955 period.
“If people will use the vaccine
available, it is possible to give
paralytic polio a knockout blow
within the next year,” Folsom
said.
“Still, more than 37 million
Americans under 40 have received
no vaccine, and 44 million have
taken only one or two doses and
have yet to complete the full
schedule of three doses.
“It will be a tragedy if, simply
because of public apathy, vaccine
which might prevent paralysis or
even death lies on the shelf un
used.”
