Rogers said that it was primarily a matter for local law enforcement, but volunteered to send Arthur Caldwell, head of the Justice Department's civil rights section, to Little Rock.

In a flurry of new appointments and policy changes, the Herald Tribune announced that its editorial-page section, to be increased to two full pages daily and Sunday, will be headed by William J. Miller, 45, veteran of the Cleveland Press and TIME, onetime Nieman fellow at Harvard, and for the past three years an editorial writer for LIFE. To a new job called "News Development Editor," with the task of applying newsmagazine techniques to daily reporting, went Arthur Twining Hadley II, Yale '49, onetime (1950-56) staffer on Newsweek. Other additions: Society Gossipist Charles Ventura, longtime...
