The group sought to have federal troops removed from Central high school at Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Orval E. Faubus (lower) told newsmen in Little Rock that he was standing pat on his wording of the agreement to assume full responsibility for the maintenance of law and order and not obstruct the orders of the federal court.
