...governor "may not be used" to defeat a valid federal court order. Narrowing down to the Southern governors' Little Rock formula, the President wanted Faubus first to promise to use his police powers positively to enforce federal court orders; eventually the President settled for the Southern governors' draft that Faubus would promise negatively "not to obstruct" federal court orders. Midway in the meeting, the President set his own personal keynote: "I have never said what I thought about the Supreme Court decision-I have never told a soul-but how I feel about it is immaterial.

...Sept. 2). Under the Bourgès plan Algeria would be divided into autonomous federal territories, each with its own legislative assembly, elected by Moslems and Europeans on a basis of "universal, equal and secret suffrage" (voting now is weighted in favor of Europeans). Although the government's draft law did not say so, the territories would probably be so carved that Europeans would control two assemblies, and Moslems the other four.
