THERMAL BARRIER TESTS

problem of the thermal barrier" in

In the tube, Prof. Edward L. Res

by a prOjectile travelling 3O,40O
miles per hour.
The thermal barrier" is the term
applied to the problem of heat

speeds of more than five times that

Although the project is one of

it will produce information of value

needed for any missile to escape
from the earth's gravitatiOn.

Judge Magee reviewed Bowles'
activities in Delaware since he first
appeared here last September and
cited remarks he allegedly made at
mass meetings of his NAAWP
groups in Sussex County.
BOwles was reported as saying he
would "bar the doors to my home"
before his child would go to school
with Negroes.
At another time, he repeatedly
said his child would not go to an
integrated school cas- long as there
is breath in my body and gunpow-

The decision Wednesday was
handed down before only a small
crowd. Observers said not more

Protest Legislation To
Limit Native Education

Cape Town, Africa, Mar. l.
Many prominent South African ed
ucators are protesting strongly
against recent legislation limiting
education for Africans in the
Union of South Africa.
"The educational outlook for the
non-European in South Africa can
not be regarded as other than de-
pressing" Prof. T. B. Davie, prin-
pipal and vice-chancellor of the
University of Cape Town, said re-
Gently.

opinions and projects propounded

only such educational facilities as
in the opinion of these pedagogic
experts, will fit him for service
of the white man in a strictly lin
tted range of industrial and aeri-
cultural activities" he added.
Broad Condemnation
Professor Davie was delivering
the Hoernle Memorial Lecture at
the annual council meeting of the
South African Institute of Race
Relations. His remarks amounted
to a condemnation, on educational
and economic grounds, of the leg
islation which, it has been charged,
aims at ensuring a plentiful and
cheap supply Of native labor.
The promise of opportunities
for full development within the
boundaries of his tribal or native
culture" Prof. Ravie continued,
has little or no attraction for the
African of today, who sees in this
the deliberate Withholding from
him of the Wanted privileges and
benefits of civilization for which
ne is supposed to become fitted by
education. The future under this
form of European tutelage is bar
rem of opportunity and bereft of
hope"
