Special to The Daily
I was in my seat at 8:45 for my
first class at Little Rock Central
High School.
Ironically, this, was a history
class. But while thesestudents
were studying history, they were
also making it. Two seats to my
left sat Jefferson Thomas, one of-
the Brave Nine. When I told him
I was an imposter - a reporter
from the North-he smiled -like
any adolescent when someone is
putting something over on the
teacher.
He answered two questions with

coached by the NAACP.
"Have any trouble today?"
"No sir."
"Expect any trouble any more?"
"I don't expect any."
Sold Picture
Jefferson then bored into his
textbook and I proceeded to snap
his picture with a borrowed $15
camera. (Time-Life later bought
this shot--sight unseen-after bid-
ding a top price of $200 on condi-
tion that they mail The Daily a
print immediately.)
A click of my shutter set the
class buzzing over my presence, a
situation which caught the teach-
er's attention when she walked
into class. This time I answered
two questions:
"Do I have a new student to-
day?" (Looking at me.)
"No Ma'am."
"Do you belong here?"
"No ma'am."
Whereupon followed a beckon
and a reminiscence -filled trip to
the principal's office. The woman
asked four soldiers-there were
between 50 and 80 in the school's
corridors-to guard the integrated
class during her absence. We chat-
ted, and she told me she had once
worked in Ann Arbor for Survey-
Research Qenter.

WASHINGTON (AX) - The Senate Rackets Committee yesterday
excused James R. Hoffa from testifying before it until he has won or.
lost his battle for the presidency of the giant Teamsters Union.
Chairman Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said the committee
also has decided to delay the questioning of Benjamin Franklin Col-
lins, indicted with Hoffa Wednesday on perjury charges brought:
by a federal grand jury in New York.
But Sen. McClellan said the committee has no intention of halt-
ing its investigation of Hoffa, already accused by witnesses of'mis-
using union funds and powers.
It had been planned to call Hoffa on Saturday, but George Fitz-
gerald, his lawyer, pleaded for a delay until after the Teamsters'
election in Miami Beach, Fla., 1

MAEBASHI, Japan (AP)-GI de-
fendant William 8. Girard denied
yesterday he had: shouted "get
out" at Japanese shell pickers the
day he is accused of killing a
woman at the Somagahara firing
range.
. His denial surprised his own,
chief counsel and complicated his
defense in the eyes of listeners at
his Japanese trial on manslaugh-'
ter charges.
Itsuro Hayashi, his chief lawyer,
had been preparing to make a
point of the testimony of a prose-
cution witness, Hidetsugu Onozeki,
another scrap collector, that Gir-
ard shouted "get out" or "get out
of here" before' firing his rifle
grenade launcher and killing Mrs.
Naka Sakai on Jan. 30.
Hayashi said this indicated Gir-
ard's state of mind at the time of
the shooting and that he was act-
ing under orders.
',Maj. Stanley Levin, the Ottawa,
Ill., soldier's Army adviser, said,
however, that "Girard told the
truth as he knows it."

scheduled prosecution witnesses,

Attendance was somewhat

school, as against the 2000 who
normally converse in the halls
lined with dance posters and ath-

those in Western State High in
Kalamazoo, may oe deceptive.

they are answering history's call

Irate Words
After irate words from the prin-
cipal, I was escorted casually out-
side by a soldier, to be dressed
down by anofficer. Not willing' to
let me go, he harangued me about
how I had endangered the lives of
all involved and had further jeop-
ardized press privileges-the privi-
lege of standing outside the school.
My entrance to the school began
in Ann Arbor Tuesday when my
editor and I discussed such a move.
After being repulsed at one en-'
trance by a soldier for not having
an identifying library card, I
moved on to a corner drugstore
where I made arrangements with
a hookey-playing girl-Katherine
Thornton - to borrow her card.

But the students now staying
home are apt to be the potential
trouble-makers. If the troops
were to leave the inside of the
school, given the present student
body, there might not be trouble.
But if the troops were to leave
and the trouble-makers were to
return, what then?
There is some apprehension
mixed in with the excitement over
tonight's big game, to be played
on a field which for several days
has been off-limits to the stu-
dents of Central and home to the
soldiers stationed in Little Rock.
If the football crowd doesn't
maintain segregation, the pattern
in Little Rock *or decades, can
incidents in the stands or whole-
sale rioting be prevented?
Big Dance
And anticipation of the upcom-
ing dance is a mixture of the en-
thusiasm of youth with forebod-
ings more normally found among
those many years removed from
high school. If the new Negro
students attend the dance - even
if accompanied by Negro dates -
will predictions of "trouble" cir-
culated yesterday come true?
These are the questions which
keep reporters in Little Rock,
waiting outside the brown brick
building called Central High
School and ready to barrage with
Questions anyone who comes out

FLU STILL RAMPANT:
Health Service Exhausts Supply of Flu Vaccine

By WILLIAM HANEY
An estimated 700 doses of pre-
ventative Asian Influenza vaccine
were administered yesterday to
University students, according to
Dr. Morley Beckett, Health Serv-
ice director.
"Although dental students were
given priority," Beckett said, "any
students that came for a shot were
not turned- away." Innoculations
were begun at 8 a.m. and the
supply was exhausted ' by 2 p.m.,
said Beckett.

Beckett, patients would have to be
taken care of in their residence
halls, sorority or fraternity houses
and doctors would call on them
there. Patients who develop com-
plications would be sent to the
hospital.
Patients at home could be taken
care of by their families," he said.
'The great majority of cases don't
need much medical care. It's
mainly a matter of rest, fluids and
aspirin for the fever and aches."
"But," he added, "we haven't
reached that see wt nd mmavh

can Asian Flu be correctly diag-
nosed.
Beckett reports that this labora-
tory diagnosis requires many tests
and takes several days. Of labora-
tory diagnoses already in the pro-
cess "only one Asian Flu" possi-
bility has been located. He added
that no complications have de-

veloped from those patients con-
fined in the infirmary.
And, he added, cases as yet re-
ported have not been in such high
proportion to what an epidemic of
the Asian Flu would reach if it did
strike.
We are not overly excited be-
cause the current complaint lasts

only two to three days," reported
Beckett. There have been several
cases in the infirmary, but they
are out in a short time.
Beckett said that the University
-has been much better off than
other schools as far as vaccine
supply goes. Most of 'the schools
have had no supply to amount to
anything.
Since the beginning of the se-
mester 4,337 shots have been
given with the breakdown in order
