Faubus Leaves
Gov. Orval Faubus, who pulled;
out National Guard troops sur-
rouiding the school after an in-'
junction against him was issued
in United . States District Court'
Friday, left yesterday afternoon
for the Southern Governors' Con-
ference at Sea Island, Ga.
' Faubus, whose 'mobilization of
the National Guard touched off
the crisis nearly three weeks ago,
said his attorneys walked out of
the federal court hearing Friday
to "prevent the governor from
waiving his constitutional and
sovereign powers."
The governor said he would have
"enjoyed" attending the court ses-
sion, but that he had been advised
against it.
To Appeal Injunction
Kay Matthews, one of Faubus'
attorneys, said-the injuction ruling
would be appealed on grounds the
federal court lacked jurisdiction.'
Attorneys in Little Rock ex-
pressed the--belief that Faubus'
four attorneys may be liable, tech-
nically, for a citation of contempt
of court by United -States Dist.
Judge Ronald Davies for having
left the hearing.
"I don't think Davies will cite
them,"., lawyer 'said, "but in all
probability, he could.">
After blasting the decision by
Judge Davies, the governor said
in a televised address Friday,
night:
"Now is the time for the utmost
precaution, forebearance and tol-
prance on the part of all citizens,
both Negro and white,- else the.
disorder and violence, which has
so far been prevented, will oc-
cur."
U.S. Policy
in Syr~iaHi
DAMASCUS (M-'-President Shu-
kri Kuwatly Yesterday accused
United States Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles of distorting
Syria's position in the Middle East
political conflict and of attempting
to impose American will on the
Arab world.
But the tone of the 64-year-old
Kuwatly, known as a political
moderate, seemed mild in compari-
son with the angry outburst
aroused immediately after Dulles'
United Nations address Thursday.
Kuwatly insisted Syria is build-
ing armed forces sufficient only
for her legitimate self-defense,
and denied by implication this
country is on the road to domina-
tion by conimunism. ,
As he spoke, two Soviet warships
steamed into the Syrian port of
Latakia on a courtesy visit. Syrian
naval units gave the cruiser;
Zhdanov and the destroyer Svo-
bodny a 21-gun salute. They were
the first v'essels of the Red fleet
ever to visit Syria.
IEiiwatly accused the West of
attempting to deny Syria and
Arabs the right to arms for self
defense "against the treacherous
Israeli enemy" while concentra-
ting on giving that enemy all
means to carry out an aggressive
intention.
To Hear
Syrian Talk
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. () -
Syrian Foreign Minister Salah
Bitar reached New York yesterday
to address the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly.
He denied Secretary of State
John Foster Dullers' notion that
Soviet arms In_ Syria threaten
Turkey.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko meanwhile, in a memo-
randum published by the UN,
charged the Western powers with
attempts to "impose their will on
the people of several countries in
Africa and the Near East by mili-
tao~ means.";
He did so in asking formally
that the Assembly put on its
agenda an item on peaceful co-
existence and urge governments
to follow that principle.
In a general policy speech
Thursday, Dulles told *he, 82-na
tion UN Assembly, Turkey "faces
growing military ,danger from the
major buildup of Soviet arms in
Syria." He reserved the United
States' right to introduce "con-
crete proposals" on the Middle
East later.

Flu Causes
1 4 Deaths
In Country
By The Associated Press
The United States Public Health
Service said yesterday that Asian
flu has caused 14 deaths in this
country.
The 14 deaths have occurred
since July 1, and include deaths
In California and Louisiana. United
States public health service offici-
als did not give a complete break-
down on the fatalities.
The health service said it does
not yet consider the Asian flu
outbreak a serious epidemic.
Local Outbreak
The latest outbreak of Asian
flu was confirmed in eastern Mich-
igah. A state health official there
said it is reasonable to assume that
the disease will spread across the
state.
Dr. F. S. Leeder, director of
disease control for the Michigan
Health Department, said laboratory
tests of 12 to 16 specimens con-
firmed the presence of the illness
in the Saginaw area.
Most of the cases are in the 12-
to 16 age group.
Toronto, Canada, reported what
may have been that city's first
death from Asian flu. Dr. Morton
P. Schulman, assistant coroner,
said a post-mortem 'examination
of Reginald Charles Curtis, 57,
showed he died of pneumonia. The
doctor said the complication could
have started with flu.
100,000 Cases
The United States Public Health
Service estimated there' have been
100,000 cases in the country to
date.
The service said increasing ab-
senteeism in schools indicates
spread of Asian flu in Oregon,
Colorado, Mississippi, and Texas.
"Reports of influenza in several
areas of Mississippi, Texas, Utah,
Oklahoma and Tennessee also sug-
gest an increasing incidence," the
agency's report added.
The New York State Health De-
partment has confirmed 146 cases
upstate. There have been 12 cases
in New York City since Aug. 7.

AHMEDARAD, India () - The

will weigh their leader, Swami
Akhand Anadi, in gold on his 50th
birthday tomorrow.

pees-$129,220- in gold bars.
With that wealth he is expected

Hoffa Still Runs DespiteEnemies.
tion of that
: he would
WASHINGTON (P) - James R.
Hoffa yesterday headed into a
stretch drive for the presidency of
the teamsters union with a Senate
committee, the courts and the
AFL-CIO baying at his heels.
It still was considered possible
the 44 year old Midwest teamsters
boss might bow out as a candidate
for the $50,000-a-year union presi-
dency, although Hoffa said he
is confident of election despite
mounting misconduct charges
against him.
"I still think I'll win," Hoffa
said in Florida.
New Hearings
During the week ahead, Hoff a
faces new congressional hearings
into his labor career, two court
appearances, and a possible new
blast from AFL-CIO leaders.
All this is scheduled before the
opening of the teamsters conven-
tion at Miami Beach, Fla., on
Sept. 30. The convention is ex-
pected to elect union officers Oct.
3 or 4.'
Dave Beck, the giant truck
union's current president, is retir-
ing. Like Hoffa, Beck has been
deeply involved in charges of mis-
using union furds and powers.

actions, a kroup of teamsters

Men Rescued
From Shaft
Of Salt. Mine
DETROIT )i-Six salt miners
spent s fear-filled cramped five
hours Friday night trapped in an
elevator on which a lift cable
broke 200 feet underground.
A* plunge. to the bottom of the
1,250-foot shaft was stopped by a
pair of spring operated safety
brakes.
All six were uninjured, but
shaken and taken to a hospital
for a physical checkup.
The mine, in Detroit, is operated
by the International Salt Co., Inc.
A 250-foot cable weighing one
and one-half tons fell on the ele-
vator cage, and it was feared its
weight might be too much for the
brakes.
The cable first was removed,
then the men were removed one
at a time. An escape hatch had
to be enlarged with an acetylene
torch for one pudgy miner. .
The tube-like elevator has two
compartments, about, three feet
in diameter.
Two men were en route home
from overtime work; four on the
way up to get Asian flu shots.
"All of us thought a little about
prayers," said Arnold Bullock, 38,
"and we thank the Lord the safety
device worked. All of us were a
little leery down there."

Fraternhity Suspension,
AtAmherst, App roved
Theta Xi national fraternity during its summer convention upheld
a decision by its Grand Lodge to suspend the fraternity's chapter at
Amherst._
T*be Amherst group had pledged a Negro member last year.
The Grand Lodge, the interim governing board of the fraternity,
took the action several days before the convention met in August.
The Lodge gave two reasons for its action: that the fraternity
environment at Anherst was not conducive to strong chapters, and
that the, local there had not been living upto fraternity ritual.
Art Epker, '58BAjI., president of the Theta Xi chapter here, who
voted against the suspension on behalf of his group, said the conven-
tion voted against re-instatement not "because they were concerned
with the actual pledging of the Negro but the way they went about it."
He said the Amherst chapter had agreed in October 1956 to
a Grand Lodge request that they postpone plans to pledge a Negro
until the convention this year.
