When Templeton Jones was
10 years old. his parents gave
q birthday party for him
complete with ice cream and
cake.
In those days, ice cream
was ice cream all the way
through.
1t didn't contain fillers or
mixers, and If it said vanilla.
well. then 1t tasted like
vanilla.
And the cakes were chawk-
lat, marble and cocoanut.
with cookies. mostly vanilla.
The marble cake was a
special CONNECTION much liked
by the young Jones. 1t also
was the pride of his mother.
At that time, cake making
was a sign of good cookery.
No woman was accounted
much, in a household way.
If she couldn't bake a good
cake, complete with icing,
not the sticky sort found
nowadays.
The boys and girls gath
cred. early. and were waiting
anxiously through the games
for the eats to appear, since
Mrs. Jones cooking was cele.
brated, even among the chill
dren. Nobody baked cookies
just like that, or turned out
such fine peach ice cream, q
speciality, next to the marble
cake.
The freezer had been put
on the back porch, where it
was nice and cool. and an
ticipation ran high.
Come to table, children"
beamed Mrs. Jones. at last.
They ran helter-skelter,
taking their places.
And then a cry rang out
from the back porch.

1t was. alas, all too true.
Bad boys. of which there
were plenty even then, had
sneaked 1t away and were
dividing the spoils in some
nearby barn. The question
was, whose barn?

ners in a city today.
Nobody ever found the
freezer. but it made no diff
ference. There was still
plenty Of marble cake.

$4,000 feet during high solar

Fourth Study Planned
The experiments Of Mr..
Meyer and Mr.. Fenton are

A fourth and separate
study is planned at Prince

research associate in the
cosmic ray laboratory Of the
Department Of Physics. Dur

IS Minutes for Survival

EOWeEIul new raQaf 0eVlceS, pre-
sumably resulting from the scientific
breakthrough announced a few weeks
ago at Columbia University, now point
the way to defensive system effective
enough to intercept and destroy inter-
continental balliStic missiles travelling
at speeds as great as $4,000 miles an
hour. Such system, of course, is not
yet Just around the corner, but there is
at least some reason to hope that 1t will
be in good working order by the time
there are large operational quantities Of
the 1CBM In either our own arsenal or
RuSSia's.
In any event, as revealed last Friday
by General Thomas D. White, chief Of
our Air Force, the gains achieved in
radar have been so far-reaching that
an 1CBM can be detected in flight at
q distance Of no fewer than 5000 miles.
More than that, according to other
Pentagon sources, the amazing new
electronic watchdog equipment-which
VIII be set up soon in Alaska and Can
ada to provide instantaneous warning"
is capable Of not only Spotting such
missiles but also defining their size,
shape, range, direction and speed. In
effect, as far as American defense is
concerned, this means that we would be
placed on full alert, in case Of war,
about IS minutes before these weapons
could reach their targets
Would so short a notice be of any
help against 15,000-mile- de-
stroyer? Certainly, at first glance, a IS
minute warning would seem to be too
brief even to give US enough time to say
our prayers. But here we must reckon
with another Of the marvels Of our
almost too-marvelous age. This is the
hghtning-fast electronic computing ma
chine. Given such a machine working
with radar in kind of magical automa-
ton, why should 1t not to possible to
send up into the high heavens-within
matter Of SecondS-a nuclear or Their
monuclear missile sufficiently supersonic
and sufnciently accurate to wipe out the
invading ICBM before 1t could complete
its mission?
The answer is that an effective anti
missile missile is by no means inconceiv-
able. Indeed, as indicated by Penta-
gon spokesman the day after General
Whites revelation, the developmental
hardware" for such an instrument is
already being produced in "test guam
titles" Thus, even in the field of So
called absolute" or ultimate" weapons,
1t still seems wise to keep in mind the
military axiom about defense and Of
tense always catching UP with each
other. Nevertheless, comforting as that
may be, the fact remains that today's
ornaments are so supremely deadly that
no people anywhere can ever again feel
safe unless or until there is genuinely
trustworthy peace in which all can re-
pose full confidence.

David Lawrence apparently
feels that civilization needs
occasionally to be reinvigor.
ated by barbarism. Life in
the Lawrence sense implies
inferiority and death as its
converse; to live is to sub
ordinate, overcome and ap-
propriate: the keen edge Of
life must be whetted In sub
ordinating and exploiting the
weak. But for Thomas Stokes,
life redeems the waste places:
to live is to create, to fructify,
and to increase; it is not a
revolt against reason, against
the proposition that equal
opportunity has to be created
by actively Intervening
against established injustice.
Lawrence never deviates
against established injustice
toward the Negro; while
Stokes. the dispassionate and
impartial Southerner. appar-
emily is ever mindful Of the
restrictions inflicted on the
Negro by the overriding and
subjugating influence Of seq
regated schools and segre-
gated neighborhoods, that
the South has had plenty
of time to urbanize or re-
orientate the Negro.
Lawrence's contention that
the Supreme Court school
ruling is a reflection on Me-
groes and constitutes an in
suit to all who take pride in
their color is begging the
question.
Arguments on pride Of
color. alleged disparagement
and all such impertinent
contentious ignore the issue
in the court ruling. The issue
is that migration of edu-
cational facilities provides
the only realistic remedy for
the caste status inflicted on
the Negro as to cultural OPP
portunities. We must be able
to think logically before we
can act logically: and 1t is a
pity when the moulders Of
public opinion like Lawrence
resort to fallacies which, be-
cause Of their deceptive APP
pearances Of validity, become
roadblocks in our pursuit Of
truth. At times like these
when the upholding OF the
supremacy Of the law is an
absolute must, 1t is much
more comfortable for good
citizens to let life 60 by and
to make themselves so in
conspicuous that life will not
notice them.
