Little Rock
Troop Removal
WASHINGTON a -Removal of
half of federal troops enforcing
school integration at Little Rock
was approved in advance by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, the White House
said today. /
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty said in reply to a question,
however, that he has no informa-
tion on when the President may
authorize complete withdrawal of
those troops.
Secretary of the Army "Brucker
rnnounced last night that 500 of
the 1.000 paratroopers in Little
Rock would be withdrawn at once.
Brucker also ordered release
from federal service of 8,500 of
the Slightly more than 10,000 Ar-
kansas National Guardsmen fed-
eralized by the President on Sept.
24.
Brucker said he was reducing
the force “in recognition of the
generally orderly situation which
has prevailed” in Little Rock since
the troops moved in last month.
Hagerty was asked today wheth-
er reduction of the force indicated
what a reporter called “an ap-
proaching solution" of integration
troubles at Little Rock.
Hagerty replied that Brucker's
action "was approved in advance

A new line of thunderstorms
formed in West Texas. The storms
extended from around Stephen-

Scores of streams, fed by tor-
rential weekend rains, spread

One man drowned in central

a bridge gave way beneath him
and a third was lost in the same
area when high winds swamped
