Justice Whiltakcr an application for vacation of the order of the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit staying the issuance of its mandate, and for a stay of the order of the United States District Court for the eastern district of Arkansas of June 21, 1958. Asks Full Court "Mr. Justice Whittaker deeming it more appropriate for the full court to pass upon such a motion, the chief justice, after consultation with other members of the court, has called a special term the court for Thursday, Aug. 28, at noon, to consider this application. "The solicitor general of the United States is invited to file a brief and to participate fn the oral arguments if he is so advised." Special terms are a rarity.

Sept. 2 Crisis In the Little Rock case the time limit is the Sept. 2 opening date of the new school term.

As the session of the high tri bunal was called, members of the Arkansas State Legislature streamed into Little Rock prepared to empower Gov. Orval E. Faubus to close Central School if the federal government tries to integrate it for a second year. The current litigation over integration at Central High stems from the action of the U.S. Dis trict Court in Little Rock in grant ing a 2 year stay of a previous order lor desegregation.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out that order, and then on the application ot school board stayed the execution of its own ruling pending action by the Supreme Court. One Could Pass Last week. Justice Whittaker, who has jurisdiction over appeals from 8th Circuit matters while the Supreme Court is in re voiced the opinion that one justice could pass on the NAACP appli cation for cancellation of the inte gration delay. There would be no doubt or one justice's authority to stay an af firmative order of a lower court.

Weitou is one site of the Red shore' batteries.

The ministry said all Nationalist planes returned safely to Formosa. The Nptioualists si ond Communist MIG crashed near Lungchi airdrome on the Com munist mainland.

Two Invasion Tries The nationalists said two sep arate communist invasion tempts were repulsed in i ries of sea battles that raged for many hours in the waters south of Quemoy.

Two communist motor torpedo hoats were reported sunk, another "probably" sunk and five damaged. The nationalists said they lost one hospital ship, a landing craft which entered the battle area by chance while evacuating wounded to Formosa. A second hospital LCI was torpedoed but survived and was being towed to safety. Despite the heavy casualties among the Quemoy defenders, the U. S.

army announced the 21 officers and men there of the advisory group were safe although more than 100,000 communist artillery shells blanketed the Quemoy area. The Nationalists feared a major invasion attempt of Quemoy Island itself was imminent and hinted they might bomb the Chinese mainland in retaliation. Fleet Alerted The United States alerted the U.

Judge Walter E.

Hoffman re ferred the applications back to the board "for such further considera tion, if any, as you may deem proper and legal" by reason of his interpretation ot the board's duties as related to principles of instructed the board to re port the results of its "actions, any," Aug. 29. Norfolk schools reopen Sept. 8. Applications were filed by 151 Negroes, and 88 of them submitted sts and interviews required by the board in its pupil assignment plan.

The board turned down all the applicants. Fifth of those who took the tests asked Hoffman to direct the board to admit tnem to white schools. After weeklong hearings, Hoff man instructed th board Friday night to appear before him today. During the weekend the judge prepared inductions directing the board to meet at its earliest convenience and reconsider some of the applications it had rejected. The instructions, similar to those a judge gives trial jury, informed the board of Hoffman's interpretation of its duties as related to principles of law.

These interpretations dealt with legal espects of the five grounds on which the board denied the Negroes' applications. The grounds were racial tensions, isolation of Negroes in predominantly white schools, lack of scholastic achievement, too frequent transfers and geographical boundaries. His action in ordering the board to appear before him today to receive instructions made it clearly evident he had concluded ths board did not properly consider some of the applications. The judge is expected, however, to support the board's denial of the applications of Negroes on the ground of lack of scholastic achievement.

Hyman Rickover aboard to share a nation acclaim. Rickover, "father" of the atom subs, went out in a tug to the Nautilus in early morning and then sailed with its crew triumphant procession through steady rain into a harbor festooned with spouting fireboats, whistling ferries and helicopters. Cmdr.

William Anderson, daring skipper wha took the nuclear sub on history's first voy age from Pacific to Atlantic der the north pole, set a new Atlantic speed record for sub marines on the voyage here from Europe. The Nautilus made it in six days, 11 hours and 55 minutes beating the old record of the sis ter ship Skate. Destroyer escorts and police launches saw to it that other craft gave the 320 foot Nautilus a wide berth lest there be a collision on the drizzly day. But navy experts discounted hazards of an atom sub accident, pointing out. the atomic energy commission had cleared the Nautilus for entry into ports of crowded populace.

Kissed by Wife The 37 year old Anderson was first down the gangplank when the submarine docked at Brooklyn navy yard. He was, immediately kissed by his vile, Yvonne, and his face became smeared with lipstick. Then he hugged his mother, Mrs. David H. Anderson of Waverly, and his son, Michael, 13.

The navy had brought wives of the married members of the crew of 103 enlisted and 13 officers here for the first reunion with their husbands since April. They and their children waved as the Nautilus slipped to dock and massed marine and navy bands played.

The plans were made public todav by Ray Holdren of 416 Terrace way, a real estate and advertising man, representing Thomas Therkildsen, the owner. Holdren is currently anticipating creation of a syndicate to promote an 80 to 100 million dollar pleasure park.

Holdren, who declined to name "interested parties, said he did not want any comparison with Disneyland, and that the project here would be larger and somewhat different in cnaracter. Its features would include a hotel inn, auditorium, baseball park, stadium, marina, horse show arena, central plaza, western town, stables and corrals, stockade museum, zoo, miniature working ranch. In addition there would be a heliport, Indian village and museum, mock gold mine and museum, picnic and camp sites, Junior league baseball parks, tennis club, golf course, polo field, Country club, beach and trap shooting. There would also be permanent international displays of Mexico, Copenhagen, the Middle East, Hawaii, South America, Holland, Venice, France, Japan and England. Magnitude of the project today appeared to be almost too much for more conservative businessmen to absorb on short notice.

Some, who asked not to be identified, said it was a highly speculative promotion plan. Others said it would be a "wonderful asset" to San Mateo county if it could be financed. A. E. Werolin, president of the San Mateo county development association, said the organiza tion's executive committee received study copies of a brochure on the project this morning.

Werolin said, as an individual, he felt the project could be a fine development for the county, and he add ed that the association's execu tive vice president and general manager Henry Bostwiek Jr. had spoken in favor of the project as an individual not as a spokes man tor tno association.
