...amicus curiae (friend of the court). The issue before the court, like all great issues, was basically simple: whether the rule of law or of violence should prevail at Little Rock's Central High School. The legal situation was more complicated. Last June Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley of Arkansas' Eastern District ordered a 2½-year breathing-spell delay in integration at Little Rock. Last month in St. Louis, the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court reversed Judge Lemley's ruling, but later granted a 3O-day stay of integration, to let the school board present its case...
...that are in the abstract," said Counselor Marshall. "The rights we seek are rights that have been recognized by the federal courts." Taking his cue from the Justice Department brief already filed, Marshall also urged the Supreme Court to go beyond the motion before it, to rule on Judge Lemley's original decision. "The way the case stands," said Marshall, "there must be a definitive decision, so that in Arkansas there will be no doubt that the orders of the court cannot be interfered with ... by obstructionists and mob action . . ." Finally, just before he sat down, Thurgood Marshall...
...Time Has Not Come." The week's legal maneuvering began in St. Louis, where the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by a 6-to-1 vote ringingly struck down Arkansas District Judge Harry J. Lemley's decision postponing integration in Little Rock until early 1961 (TIME, June 30). Arkansan Lemley had based his cooling-off decision on the truism that "popular opposition to integration" had led to "serious violence" in Little Rock...
Little Rock, in almost any case, will be a focus of struggle. If the U.S. Court of Appeals upholds Federal Judge Harry Lemley's 2½-year delay in integration (TIME, July 14), the use of further legalized delay will apparently have to be overset or affirmed on further appeal to the Supreme Court. If no delay is permitted and Negro students are not Faubused into staying away from Central High School on registration day, there will almost certainly be more uproar...
Faubus' landslide raised points far more serious than politics. A Federal Court of Appeals is reviewing Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley's decision to delay for 2½ years integration at Little Rock Central High; if the delay is refused, it will take a brave Negro to claim his rights at school's opening. Most Arkansans also expect trouble in the seven other communities that have already begun integration. In seven Southern states-Alabama, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia-there is no integration at all, and the newly emboldened anti-integration forces are waiting...
