UP) President Eisenhower and Attorney General Brownell conferred Saturday but reached no decision on possible future steps the federal government might take in the Little Rock school integration dispute.

Hagerty said there can be no decision here until after Federal Judge Roland N. Davies decides whether to grant the Little Rock school board's petition to delay enforcement of Davies' order to integrate the Central High School there.

UP) President Eisenhower called on the people of Syria Saturday to "allay the anxiety" of Arab neighbors who are fearful international Communists will push Syria into acts of aggression.

The president's views were made known by Secretary of State Dulles after an urgent two-hour conference at the White House. Dulles said Mr. Eisenhower heard a report from Deputy Undersecretary of State Loy Henderson on a 14-day factfinding trip to the Middle East. "Deep Concern" Dulles said Henderson reported border incidents and subversive activities apparently directed at Syria's neighbors, as well as "deep concern at the apparently-growing Soviet Communist domination of Syria, and the large build-up there of Soviet-bloc arms" beyond defensive needs. Dulles added in a statement: "The president expressed the hope that the interna-tional Communists would not push Syria into any acts of aggression against her neighbors and that the people of Syria would act to allay the anxiety caused by recent events." Syria's immediate neighbors are Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.

Dulles' statement said Mr. Eisenhower "affirmed his intention to carry out the national policy" and to act as he deems necessary under the Eisenhower Middle East resolution. Support This resolution, adopted last spring by congress, pledges U. S. economic-military support to Middle East countries with a will to resist Communist intrusion.

In exercising his authority already, Dulles said, Mr. Eisenhower "authorized the accelerated delivery to the countries of the area of economic and other defensive items which have been programmed for their use." Mr. Eisenhower already has ordered airlifting of U. S. weapons to Jordan and is reported considering flying arms to Iraq.

Asked by newsmen whether it was the U. S. government's official judgment that Syria is now Communist-dominated under terms of the Eisenhower Middle East resolution, Dulles said tie could not go beyond the statement he had just read. Judge Hits At School Unit's Plea 'Cold War' Between Arkansas, U.S. Unresolved Leaned Wires to The Tribun LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

Federal District Judge Ronald N. Davies ruled Saturday that Central High School here must integrate immediately. The decision left the cold war between Arkansas and federal a ut i uncompro-mised. Davies said the brief testimony of Little Rock School Supt. Virgil Blossom was "as anemic as the petition itself." Blossom had asked for an indefinite postponement of racial mixing on the ground that national guard troops surrounding the high school were interfering with education in many schools.

Davies said the plan for gradual integration in Little Rock was "originated and conceived by the citizens of Little Rock through their school directors." "Shall Not Shrink" "This court has given careful consideration to the matter," Judge Davies said in JUDGE DAVIES his ruling. "It must agree, as we all must, that the educa tion of the students must go forward, but I have a duty to perform from which I shall not shrink. "The petition of the Little Rock school district and the Little Rock superintendent of schools for a stay order is in all things denied." The judge took notice of the statement of Mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann that the Little Rock police had not encountered "a single case of violence" in connection with the planned integration. Outcome Uncertain Judge Davies did not mention whether Negroes must be admitted when school resumes Monday, but his previous order that integration must start immediately still is in effect. That order was defied by Gov.

Orval Faubus, who called out the national guard last Monday to block integration. The decision left the outcome of the struggle uncer- Arkansas Continued on Page Two Faubus to Appear On TV Sunday NEW YORK, N. Y. The American Broadcasting 1 iL.t Co. announced aaiuroay mat Gov.

Possible Steps Hagerty said it would be fair to say that Mr. Eisen hower and Brownell, in their 45-minute meeting, discussed possible steps the federal government might take. However, he would not disclose what alternatives "were considered. Hagerty said, too: "There was a general discussion of the national guard and the authority the president has that affects the national guard." Arkansas Gov.

Orval Fau- bus called out the national guard last Monday to block integration of the Little Rock school. Guardsmen since have been stationed at the school continuously and Wed nesday turned away nine Ne gro students who attempted to enter. Vacation Mr. Eisenhower broke off a vacation at Newport, R. to flv here Saturday morning for the conference with Brownell.

He also met with other officials on Middle East problems and fiscal affairs. Sitting- in with the president and Brownell at their meeting were Hagerty, White House counsel Gerald Morgan and presidential aide Wilton B. Persons. Hagerty said Brownell ad vised Mr. Eisenhower that a report Judge Davies requested on the facts of the situation is beine prepared by the jus tice department and Federal Bureau of Investigation and probably will be submitted Monday or Tuesday.

"Evidence" Davies asked for facts on which to base a determination as to whether there had been interference or noncompliance with his integration order. Hagerty said the report to Davies will include a discussion of a meeting Friday between FBI agents and representatives of the governor. Faubus had offered to have his aides attend such a meeting to give what he said was "certain evidence upon which I acted" in calling out the guardsmen. The governor contends he acted to preserve peace and order. Hagerty said the report to Judge Davies will be "entirely factual" and definitely will contain no recommendations.

Under the resolution the president could commit armed forces against any overt aggression by a nation controlled by "international Communism."
