Houston Taxi-cab Owner
Gets Police Protection
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
police posted guards this morn-
ing around taxi-cabs owned by
Louis Banks. Police protection
had been requested by Banks
after he gave evidence of al-
leged union sabotage to the

Flash Floods
Swept El Paso
This Morning
I
Flash floods swept El Paso in
far West Texas this morning j
following rains up to almost 4
inches.
Streets were blocked, homes ;
flooded and some schools forced j
to close.
As much as one foot of water
entered some El Paso residenc- j
es. In all, about 25 homes in low !
areas were flooded.
The heavy runoff ripped out1
street asphalt, blocking traffic.!
U-S Highway 80 from El Paso!
to Las Cruces was blocked and
traffic is being re-routed.
But no injuries have been re- •
ported and the flood waters are
rapidly draining off.
The official rainfall measure-1
ment as El Paso is 2.10 inches ;
with showers continuing. How* j
ever, as much as 3.75 inches i
were recorded in sections of the
Mexican Border City.
That’s almost half of El Paso’s
normal rainfall for an entire
year. The 12-month average is
7.83 inches, and the normal rain-
fall for September is 1.13 inches.
Thunderheads are expected to
rumble across North Central
Texas as a cool front pushes
steadily into the state from sou-
thern Oklahoma.
The cold air mass set off scat-
tered thunderstorms yesterday.
Gusty winds hit Wichita Falls
and Sherman, with rain as heavy
as one inch in 30 minutes in
places. The Texas Panhandle had
a heavy early morning with driz-
zle reported at Amarillo.
Meanwhile, showers continue
to flit about South Texas.
And the identical forecast has
been issued by the U-S Weather
Bureau for the entire state. It
reads:
“Partly cloudy through Fri-
day with widely scattered thun-
dershowers. No important tem-
perature changes.”
Warren suggested the real i -u<'
is whether any state agency is
preventing Negro school chil-
dren from exercising their Con-
stitutional rights. Warren pul
this in the form of a question
to the attorney for the Little
Hock school hoard. Richard But-
ler. Butler argued for su.pen-
sion of integration. He repeat-
edly pointed to the phrase —
“with all deliberate speed”--
used by the Supreme Court in a
1955 decision for desegregation.
Butler said the basic wisdom j
of the Supreme Court in order-j
ing integration to proceed with
all deliberate speed was to give
the local courts the power to de-
termine local situations as they

the court is whether to sustain a
1 deral disrict court judge’s au-
thorization of a 30-month sus-
pension in integration, or up-
hold an appeal hv the Little
Rock school board.
At Little Rock, Gov. Faubus
said he expects the? Supreme
Court to order integration. Fau-
bus added: “I will not force my
people to integrate against
their will.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Atty. Gen. Rogers says he has
sent a team of top aides to Little
Rock. This follows up Rogers’
offer of federal aid to city offi-
cials in case of trouble—at
Madisonville, Kv., three Negro
students walked into an e 1 c-
mentary school white a crowd of
100 watched from across the
road. State Troopers and dep-
uty sheriffs watched close by. A
Negro in Ozark, Arkansas, said
two other Negro girls were told
not to attend classes after ten
white boys tried to attack them
during the Tuesday lunch hour.

Khrushchev's communications
last month on the subject of an
\mencan-Bntish-Russian agree-
ment to suspend nuclear weap-
ons tests.
The American and the British
first proposed the talks—a n d
suggested that test firing would
cease from October 31 provided
Russia would agree to join the
conference in Geneva. They sug-
gested the negotiations should
b a pact to suspend nuclear fir-
ing on a year-to-year basis.
Khrushchev countered with the
suggestion that any agreement to
quit testing should be per-
manent.
In their new notes, the U. S.
and Britain did not indicate at
what level the Geneva talks
should take place. But the ex-
pectation is that ministers —
not necessarily foreign mini-
sters—will lead the three dele-
gations.
