...televised joint session of Parliament, scholarly, white-haired Dr. Heinrich Lübke, 64, onetime West German Agriculture Minister and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's hand-picked choice (TIME, June 29 et seq.) was sworn in as Heuss's successor.

By reminding the school board, Faubus and other officials that they are still under a federal court mandate to move into an integration program, the court put Little Rock back where it was when Faubus used the National Guard...
