MISSILE TEST CENTER, Cape
Canaveral, Fla. ( -) -- A huge,
flame-trailing missile was launched
from here yesterday in what was
believed to be the first successful
firing of the Air Force Thor.
Authorities confirmed only that
a missile had been fired-the third
in two days-but their tone indi-
cated they were satisfied with the
performance.
The projectile rose with a flam-
ing tail, traveling upward on an
even keel for perhaps 15 or 201
miles before turning in a morel
horizontal direction.
Observers three miles away
heard the sound 20 to 30 seconds
after the missile was airborne at
9:25 a.m. -
It came as a heavy roar like
the sound of bombers flying high
overhead. Windows rattled in
downtown Cocoa 15 miles away.
The Thor, 65 to 70 feet in length
and designed to travel 1,500 miles,
is an intermediate-range missile
developed for the Air Force. ,

Faubus TV
Talk Begins
Soon After
He Will Comply,
But Plans Appeal
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. ()-Gov.
Orval Faubus last night ordered
the National Guard troops away
from Central High School a few
hours after a federal court ordered
him to stop interference with the
school's integration plan.
The guard left at 6:25 p.m.
Faced with the injunction, Fau-
bus said, "I will comply."
Presumably the nine Negro stu-
dents who have been barred from
the school by the troops since
they attempted to enter Sept. 4,
will attend classes Monday. Sev-
eral had said they would go if
Guardsmen would not bar their
way.
Closes Chap -
The action of the governor ap-
-parentlycloses one chapter of the
historic struggle between state and
federal power but Faubus said he
would exhaust all avenues of
appeal to overturn the injunc-
tion.
At President Eisenhower's New-
port, R. I., vacation headquarters,
press secretary James A. Hagerty
said there would be no comment
on the action Friday night. ka-
gerty said the President was told
of the troop withdrawal by Atty.
Gen. Brownell, who telephoned
from Washington.
Faubus spelled out his stand on
a three-station television hookup
in Little Rock at 6:30 p.m., given
minutes after Lt. Col. Marion
Johnson had appeared at the high
school and called out the guard.
Dramatic Climax
It was a dramatic, climax to a
swift - moving chain of events
which started with U. S. Dist.
Judge Ronald N. Davies' injunc-
tion against Faubus following a
five-hour hearing during which
the governor's attorneys walked
out saying, "We're through."
The had challenged the federal
government's right to question
Faubus' actions and then left. The
hearing continued and at the end
the judge ruled that Faubus had
thwarted the order of the court
for integration by his use of the
troops and directed him to stop.
"Ignored Law"
Faubus in his speech said Judge
Davies "ignored the law" in re-
fusing some of the motions made
by the governor's attorneys yester-
day. He did not say specifically
which ones.
He said, "I have instructed my
attorneys to exhaust every legal
remedy to appeal this order. How-
ever, so long as this order is in
effect and until its certain rever-
sal on appeal, I will comply."
The governor then said even as
he talked the guards were leaving.
He appealed for order and peace
in Little' Rock and said, "now is
the time for the utmost precaution
and forebearance on the part of
all persons."
He said he hoped the National
Assn. for the Advancement of
Colored People would "not be so
reckless as to push integration
..until a cooling off period has
passed."

SIBELIUS:
Finnish

U.

Composer
Dies at 91
HELSIKI (A) - -Jan Sibelius,
91, the great, brooding Finnish
composer, died last night from
a brain hemorrhage at his seclud-
ed woodland home outside Hel-
sinki.
He was best known popularly
over the world for the sweeping
sonorities of his tone peom "Fin-
landia" and to musicians for the
craftsmanship of the dark, mysti-
cal music that challenged both
their wonder and the critical pow-
ers.
Left a Mystery
Sibelius left a mystery for the
musical world to puzzle over. His
last published works came out in
the late 1920s and he is believed
to have done some major compos-
ing since. He died without saying.
The craggy-faced giant long
had been regarded as among the
world's foremost composers.
Shaven - headed, his brooding
face lined with age, he remained
out of the world spotlight the last
20 years. He had published no
musical works after 1929. But the
whole world joined in a swelling
outburst of praise and gifts for
the maestro on his 90th birthday,
Dec. 8, 1955.
Joved Cigars
He was showered with mes-
sages, recordings and flowers, and
loaded down with his favorite
cigars and claret.
He once said: "Cigars are my
great passion. I smoke them night
and day."
Sibelius was poverty stricken
early in his career. But his genius
became so compelling that by 1925
the Finnish government granted
him a pension amounting to $2,000
a year.
Wrote 'Finlandia'
It enabled him to spend all his
time composing and to find relax-
ation puttering about in the shrub
garden of his villa about 13 miles
from here. He built the house him-
self 53 years ago. A big white
rustic house under the trees, he
slared it with his wife Aino, for
whom the house was named.
Great works flowed from his
pen. The "Swan of Tuonela," with
its dark brooding philosophy of
Hades and death, became second
to "Finlandia" in the repertories
of the West. His symphonies,
especially those in E and in D,
were: widely played.
. His Karelia Suite, his hymns for
male choirs, his piano pieces and
violin concertos, all made their
mark in the world's music.

chasing student health insurance,

Regent s Liberalize Rules

By PETER ECkSTEIN
Daily Editor
The Regents yesterday liberalized the regulations governing stu-
dent loans in order to increase their-use by students.
At the same time, however, they heard a report indicating that
an economic squeeze on students has already done much to put long-
dormant loan funds into circulation.
The revised regulations permit an extension of the period of
time covered by a loan and lift the former limit, $250 a semester or
a total of $500, to an unspecified figure based "upon a number of
factors which the committee -
(will) take into account."

CALENDAR REVISIONS:
SGC To Review Several Programs

By RICHARD TAUB
The fate of the Campus Chest
will be one problem of Student
Government Council in the near
future, according to Joe Collins,
'58, SGC president.
The rCampus Chest, a give "once
for all" charity drive Was insti-
tuted on campus last year. A con-
flict with Galens, medical honor-
ary. and some dissatisfaction of
council members with the drive,
have kept it from being calen-
dared again until further consider-
ation.,
Another important area for the
Council, Collins said, would be the
Southeast Asia Delegation plan
and comparable programs. An SGC
committee has drawn uD a vros-

be expansion of the cinema guild
program.
Greater utilization of the SAB
is another goal of the Council,
Collins said. Right now -the group
is considering some kind of pro-
gram with the University Bureau
of Placement office.
Rising enrollments and the costs
as well as quality of education is
another area of concern for the
Council. A rising enrollments, com-
mittee is studying the problem,
and will report back to the Coun-=:
cil with suggestions for treating
the problem. The committee is

administration.
Academic Interest
Interest in academic areas is

tored examinations) and making'
efforts to extend library hours.
The Council is also looking for-
ward to further work and. study
of the school calendar, Collins
remarked. A committee, requested
by the Council, has been at work
on calendar revisions.
Re-evaluate Projects
The Council also plans to re-
evaluate projects it has assigned
to other campus organizations.
This includes such things as the
Student Book Exchange and the
Air-Flite to Europe, as well as the
rushing study program.
Extension of leadership pro-
