Circuit Court Reverses District Judge!
In Little Rock School Integration Issue
(By The Associated Press)
The integration spotlight cen
tered on Little Rock and Gov.
Orval Faubus of Arkansas Tues
day, just as it did almost a year
ago when violence erupted
around Central High Schoql.
But this time the immediate
reason was a court decision, not
nine Negro pupils attempting to
attend classes.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals at St. Louis Monday
overruled a District Court judge

who ordered a delay in resump
tion of integration at the troub
led high school.
Several Southern spokesmen
described the ruling as a tragic
and unhappy one and an indica
tion that the court felt integra
tion was more important than ed
ucation.
But Judge Martin C. Matthes |
of St. Louis wrote in his major
ity opinion that “The time has
not yet come in these United
States when an order of a federal
court must be whittled away,
watered down, or shamefully
withdrawn in the face of violent
and unlawful acts of individual
citizens ...”
The decision legally left the
way open for Negroes to return
to Central High School Sept. 2,
but steps were being taken to
prevent this.
The Little Rock School Board
said it would make every effort
to keep in effect U.S. Dist. Judge
Harry Lemley’s order for a 21/z
year delay in integration.
Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga)
said: “This present court has de
cided that integration is much
more important than education
despite the grim lesson of Little
Rock.”
In Norfolk, Va., Monday night,
the Norfolk School Board denied
the application of 151 Negro
pupils seeking admissin to the
city’s white public schools.
Letter
To The Editor
It has been called to my at^~
tention in recent days by a num
ber of residents of Nome that the
fact that I did not file my candid
acy for nomination to office un
der the new state government is
being misinterpreted by some as
my disapproval of statehood.
For the information of any
person interested, and because of
my keen interest in the success
of the State of Alaska, I am writ
ing this open letter, so that my
position may be made clear.
For 15 years I have lent my
complete and unqualified support
to the Statehood for Alaska move
ment. My position in this has not
changed. I feel now, as I have
made my opinion public in the
past, that Statehood is the only
answer to progressive govern
ment for Alaska, - and a most
cherished goal for all Alaskans.
My sole reason for not filing as
a candidate in the forthcoming
election is that I find it impos
sible to be away from my law
practice for the length of time
necessary to serve in the first
State Legislature.
The decision not to run was a
difficult one, and I regret it
deeply, though it was the only
decision I could make under the
circumstances. To those voters
who have so wonderfully sup
ported me in the past, I urge com
plete support of Statehood
Vote “YES” on all three pro
positions submitted in the refer
endum on Aug. 26, and bring
Alaska to full membership in the
Union of the States.
Sincerely,
Jim von der Heydt
