Remain Closed
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., W! — The
four Little Rock high schools re
mained closed Tuesday and signs
were placed on the campuses
which read: “This school closed by
order of the federal government.”
The move to open the high
schools as private but segre
gated institutions was halted' offi
cially at 8 a. m., when Dr. T. J.
Raney, head of the operating cor
poration, declared a court injunc
tion made it impossible.
Gov. Orval E. Faubus com
mented: “As long as the people
stand firm a way will be found
to preserve our traditions and edu
cate our children.”
He said in the face of the in
junction, “Other avenues and
means of providing education for
the students will be explored. We
think the action of the federal gov
ernment is illegal, but if the in
junctive action of the court is
made permanent, it will make our
efforts more difficult, but not at
all impossible.”
Raney acknowledged that the
corporation was restrained by a
court order granted in Omaha,
Neb., Monday by two judges of the
8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The judges moved swiftly at the
request of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Col
ored People to keep the school
board and the corporation from
proceeding.
Raney issued a statement which
said in part:
“Through the concerted efforts
of the government of the United
States and the NAACP, the Little
Rock Private School Corporation
has now been enjoined and pro
hibited from operating the high
schools.”
Only a few Negro employes of
the high school and a handful of
i students showed up in the drizz
ling rain for school. Apparently
most of the students interpreted
the terse statement of Supt. Virgil
Blossom Monday night, that the
Little Rock board would comply
with the court order, to mean
schools would remain closed.

But at Presidio, border patrol

More floodwaters from the Rio

The flood, which started Sun
day, engulfed farms and homes.

r JUNEAU — Federal appropria
tions to the Alaska Department
of Health for tuberculosis control
in 1959 have been cut nearly $1,
000 from the 1958 amount, ac
cording to notice received from
Washington this week by Dr.
Harry V. Gibson, commissioner
Of health. The ADH appropria
tion for tuberculosis in 1958 was
Another cut for 1959 is $4,000
Another cut for 1959 is $4,000
lopped from the general health,
cancer, heart and water pollu
tion control funds.
“This decrease in funds is a
serious handicap in the battle
against tuberculosis which still
remains Alaska’s biggest health
problem,” Dr. Gibson said. “Tre
mendous improvements in control
of the disease has been made in
the past few years, but we are
in the position where if we stop
now we’ll lose much of what we
have gained.”
He said that in some areas in
northern and interior Alaska, res
ervoirs of the disease still exist
and vigilant seeking out of these
cases must continue so that they
can be put under treatment to
prevent the spread to still more
people.
“Case finding involves trans
portation and X-rays and it is
| expensive.” Dr. Gibson said, “as
is also the follow-up care of the
thousands of patients whose dis
ease has been arrested and under
treatment at home. The big drop
in tuberculosis deaths in Alaska
from 222 in 1947 to 46 in 1957
does not mean that the fight is
won, but that improvement in
drugs and treatment keeps more
people from dying from the dis
ease. At the close of 1957 there
were 3,705 Alaskan tuberculosis
cases receiving treatment at home
and 781 in hospitals. Each year
we are finding fewer new active
cases, but until these are at an
absolute minimum we will still
have a . tuberculosis problem.
There were 431 new cases re
ported in 1957 and 595 in 1956.
