...elected to Congress in 1958 in the stormy aftermath of the Little Rock crisis. Plainly, segregation is going to be a primary issue. This is unfortunate, since 48 Negroes now attend three Little Rock high schools, and there has been no trouble since Orval stirred up the fuss in the first place...
