two-hour struggle to bring the under control LITTLE Gov. Orval E. Faubus said today lie may call the Arkansas Legislature into special session to enact legislation designed to get newly- integrated Central High School "out from under federal control." He said one "possibility" would be to cut off all stale tax money for Central High and transform it into a "private institution." Faubus brushed off a' charge by President Eisenhower today that the state administration encouraged mob violence at Central High to obstruct Federal Court orders admitting nine Negro students. He implied that Eisenhower is ia political trouble for sending federal troops into Little Rock and il hunting for a "scapegoat." "Anyone who gets into difficulty Wc.r,ts a scapegoat," Fadnis said.

group of about ISO white women, including some mothers of Central High students, had "marched" on the mansion to ask that Central High be clqsed. Faubus said he told the women that he is "giving serious consideration to a number of approaches to resolvo the situation." "Among these is the possibility of a special session of the Legislature," ie said. The governor said he "understood" a majority of Arkansas lawmakers favor a special session. He said that it would take only 24 hours to get all the state senators and representatives into Rock. Faubu said legislation might be enacted to cut off slate aid to integrated schools, or to make all public schools private institutions.

A reporter asked if he believed such legislation would be upheld in the federal court. I don't know why it wouldn't he said. He pointed oul, however, that he has "never said that I favor such legislation." Faubus said that he did not want to take any steps which might jwpardize'Uie "progress Arkansas has made." No Decision Yet "I would favor closing Central High School if tiat would result in iis return to state and local authorities," Faubus said. The governor said Central High School could be closed by local authorities for several reasons, including an epidemic, fire hazard or faulty building. "But we don't have an epidemic, just occupation," he said.

The governor said that he did not know when he would make a decision about calling the Legislature. The "mothers' march" on the governor's" mansion was led by Mrs. Margaret E. Jackson, 36, divorced wife of a Little Rock fireman, who has two leen aged daughters in Central High. She had predicted earlier that "hun- dieds" of women would join the march.
