LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1958
The United States Supreme Court Monday ordered one
of its rare special session for Thursday to consider the Cen
tral high school integration issue.
The Justices were called back from their summer vaca
tion to consider the case just a few days before school is
slated to open.
When the Court convenes Thursday noon, it had before
it an application of the National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People asking the Court to overrule a fed
eral district court which granted a stay of Integration sos
30 months to the Little Roik school board.
The Bth Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis issued
an order voiding this delay, but then granted a stay of the
order until the supreme court could rule. The NAACP also,
wants this stay voided.
The supreme court, in calling the extroadinary session,
invited U. S. Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin to file a brief
and take part in the arguments
Rankin argued the original desegregation case for the
government several years ago. He took the position that en
lorced segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
These arguments led to the historic decision of May 17, 1954,
holding segregation to be unconstitutional.
