Orval E. Faubus, as serting that "violence and disorder would occur," Friday ordered the Little Rock high schools not to open on schedule next Monday in spite of the decree of the U.S. Supreme Court. Faubus signed a recently Justices Order Immediate Entry Of Negro Pupils WASHINGTON, (AP)-The Supreme Court decreed in a unanimous milestone decision Friday that integration must proceed immediately at Little Rocks Central High School, no matter how violent the opposition. President Eisenhower said anarchy would result from defiance of the court's integration stand and appealed to the people to avoid it.

In a statement from his vacation headquarters at Newport, R.I., Eisenhower said: "I appeal to the sense of civic responsibility that animates the vast majority of our citizenry to avoid defiance of the court's orders in this matter." In Little Rock, Gov. Orval Faubus ordered the city's high schools not to open Monday in an expected defiance of the high court ruling.

The far-flung, continuing probe of the case underlined official skepticism that the victims' 8-year-old son was the killer.

The newest figure in the perplexing case left New York suddenly last week. In Virginia, he dropped remarks to relatives which made them think he might be linked to the Staten Island slaying. However, the youth claimed an alibi. The victims' son, Melvin Nimer passed by the recent special session of the Legislature. not to ask the federal court to of warnings from a U.S.

It is to have a thrust of lVz million pounds, about eight times greater than this country's largest existing propulsion unit. There was no word as to the type of satellite it is proposed to launch.

But the Defense Department announcement spoke of a system for placing very large payloads into orbit. This left open the question of whether a manned satellite might be contemplated. The two-million-dollar eon-tract for the superbooster was awarded North American Aviation's Rocketdyne Division. The announcement said the superbooster will consist of a cluster of already tested rocket motors, packaged into a single unit. The main element of the cluster will be a motor similar to that used in the intermediate and intercontinental range ballistic missiles, the Army Jupiter, the Air Force Thor and the Air Force Atlas.
