...ARLINGTON (pop. 178,500), a white-collar Washington suburb less than four crow-flight miles from the Supreme Court Building, faced a showdown this week. Orders to accept five Negro pupils in Arlington's schools (total enrollment: some 9,000 students) were handed down last year by U.S. District Judge Albert V. Bryan. These five, plus some of 25 more recent applicants, hope to get into Arlington's schools, including Washington-Lee High School, scheduled to open this week. If they do, Virginia's white-maned Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr. is required by Virginia law (which...
Last week, as Trainer Willie Molter eased him into top form at Arlington Park near Chicago, Round Table already had won $1,215,114, with 32 wins in 47 starts.

Possible opponent for the two latter races: Gallant Man, who has bested Round Table in all three of their races...
...Travis Kerr's top-weighted (130 Ibs.), four-year-old Round Table made his move at the far turn, and Willie Shoemaker brought him home the winner by a comfortable 2½ lengths in the $85,200 Arlington Handicap in Illinois. First money of $54,100 gave Round Table career earnings of $1,215,114, just $73,451 behind the retired Nashua, alltime earnings champion...
Massive Resistance. Virginia's "massive resistance" laws (TIME, June 2) are a patently unconstitutional fortress-of-cards, but the state's lawmakers are manning the battlements with determination. Norfolk, Newport News, Charlottesville and Northern-infiltrated Arlington face court integration orders. Charlottesville, where schools are scheduled to open Sept. 2, may find legal delays to avoid being the first Virginia city whose schools are closed by massive resistance laws...
