Week of Infomy'

David Lawrence called the
week Congress was ex-
pected to pass the civil
rights bill a week Of in
fanny" Surely it is a strange
distortion Of the English Ian
guage to describe thus the
passing Of legislation de-
signed to implement the pro-
lection Of Negroes in their
right to vote under the
Fifteenth Amendment!
II the word "infamy" is to
be used, 1t is much more
legitimately applicable to the
changes made by Southern
States in the last decade OF
the 10Th century. changes
made for the sole purpose OF
eliminating the Negro voter
as a political power. and to
those Supreme Court de-
cisions Of the period which
Endorsed these changes by a
Systematically narrow con-
struction Of the law. These
are the underlying reasons
for the civil rights bill Of
today, as Mr.. Lawrence we'll
knows. He should also be
aware that in such States as
Mississippi, Alabama, South
Carolina and Louisiana a
Negro whose registration had
been rejected by local boards
would hardly be likely to re-
ceive a fair h caring from
other authorities in the State.
1t is unfortunate that the
necessity should exist in this
day and age for Congress to
have to enact a civil rights
law, but only through such
a deterrent are local regis
tration boards in the South
ern rural areas likely to give
Negroes who wish to vote
the full protection Of the law.
The issue behind the civil
rights bill is far more pro-
found than that Of States

toned really disgusting and
unwholesome, or could the
term be applied elsewhere to
better advantage?
The flimsy excuses given
for eliminating Gods in
teresting and beautiful wild
creatures really fools no one
of intelligence. Why can
not men become civilized and
grow up! The country will
be a strange. lifeless place
when the killers have de-
stroyed all wildlife, as they
are fast doing. In the final
analysis. natures methods of
balancing all forms Of life
have proved to be the best.
The most serious aspect Of
such a program of killing is
that it teaches the young to
be callous and cruel, and so
frequently these days the
gun is eventually turned on
some other human being.
Surely, no man who kills for
sport can hold reverence for
any life in his heart. The
commandment. Thou shalt
not kill" has no reality for
him. The Christian qualities
Of tolerance. compassion and
understanding can have no
meaning for him.

visual observation with any
telescope.
Similarly many galactic OBJ
jects, conspicuous in the radio
region, are undoubtedly so
obscured by dust that optical
identification will be difhcult.
Distribution in space of
extra-galactic radio sources,
if it ever is possible to de-
termine this. may provide a
clue to important cosmological
problems, since it is probable
that many observable sources
are situated at great dis
tances, approaching the lin
its of one visible universe.
There now is wide discrep.
ancy, they point out. in the
opinion of astronomers about
the distribution of radio stars.
This is due largely to differ
ent methods of observation.
A. survey at Cambridge Uni
versity in England, for ex-
ample, indicates the existence
Of a very great number of
very faint sources which are
about equally distributed in
every direction throughout
space.
An echo analyzer has been
developed by Naval Research
Laboratory and Navy Elec-

which promises to take much

1t is difficult for a sonar
operator to tell whether the
signals he receives are pounc-
ed from whales. from a
school Of fish, or from a sub
marine. He also must deter
mine whether the object is
approaching or heading away.
Actually there are too many
clues. according to the ONCE
Of Naval Research. The echo
may be sharp or mushy. It
may have a high or low Dop-
pier effect, or q half dozen
other distinctive characteris-
tics.
Good Memory Needed
The sonar operator must
analyze these characteristics
much as a physician ana
lyzes symptoms. He must
choose between about IS un-
derwater objects. The deci-
sion requires a high level of
training and an excellent
memory.
The new apparatus does

1t is a sad state Of affairs
to find a suburban COM
munity like progressive
Greenbelt threatening to
oust home owners for their
inherent right as Americans
in wanting to keep pets.
1t is understandable for
authorities to forbid owners
to allow their pets to run
wild in any populated COM
munity. but it is another
thing again when property
owners who keep their pets
confined are told to either
give them up or get out!
When Greenbelt was Gov
ernment-owned and con-
trolled and the residents
were tenants. such a statute
theoretically could be en-
forced. Now, however, with
personal ownership of the
properties and homes, it
seems the edict would be not
only unenforceable, but most
discriminatory.
II this turmoil in Green
belt was brought about by
the carelessness of a few
pet owners in allowing their
animals to destroy property
and create a nuisance, it
seems a more logical solu-
ton would be to require all
dogs to wear proper identi-
fication and to levy fines
against the owner who
doesn't keep his dog under
proper supervision. In this
way. the responsible pet own
ers would be protected.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Probing Mystery of Invisible Stars
BY THOMAS. r. HENRY

Radio stars in many cases
proba bly, are enormous,
highly turbulent masses of
gas whose atoms have largely
been stripped of their outer
electrons.
This is the Interpretation
Of these mysterious objects
points in the sky from which
radio signals are received
but where optical telescopes
show nothing-advanced by
Drs. B. F. Burke and Merle
A. Tuve of the Carnegie
Institution Of Washington.
Their conclusions are based
on a study of the one known
feature which is common to
the handful of radio sources
which also are visible with
optical telescopes. The re-
port has just been published
by the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
1t appears certain, they say,
that the necessary highly
turbulent gas can be pro-
duced in several ways. In
this galaxy cataclysms such
as a supernova, an explosion
in which q star attains mil
lions of times its ordinary
brightness for q brief time
and then fades to near in
visibility, are known means
Of producing such a turbu-
lent mass capable Of strong
radio emission. Many Of the
radio sources may be rem
nants of supernovae.
Many Of them. however.
represent an entirely new
class OF objects.
Signals Outside Milky Way
Drs. Burke and Tuve say
that there also are radio sig
mails from objects outside
this Milky Way galaxy. mil
lions Of light years distant.
Some Of these signals are as
strong as those received
from our own galaxy. They
must require an origin even
more violent than a super
nova.
In one case they are known
to result from the collision,
still in progress, Of two galax-
ies-aggregations of billions
of stars embedded in gas
and dust. 1t is possible that
some other tra-galactic
sources are due to the same
cause but. the Carnegie as
tronomers say, there are some
galaxies from which signals
are received which do not
quite 11t into this picture.
There are at least two Diff
ferent populations Of radio
sources. 1t is important, they
stress. to distinguish between
them and to establish, If
possible, q distance scale. The
only reliable method at pres
ent seems to be identification
Of the radio source with some
visible object. but a. time
goes on this must prove in
creasingly difncult. Even now
. it is known that If Q pair
Of galaxies were colliding as
violently as those already
identified. but ten times far
ther away from the earth,
there would be no hope Of

There isn't Q jealous bone

Yet when he heard about
a young-very young-asso-
ciate having a $2.700 pool

admitted to it for the world!
Wonderful" he said, pub

Actually, he wondered how
and why anyone would
spend that much money for
what, after all, is no more
than a glorified outdoor

Kids in Doghouse

An acquaintance criticized
me recently for comparing
children with dogs. Espe-
cially so for saying that since
more time seems to be spent
in training dogs than chill
dren nowadays. dogs on the
whole are obeying and ap-
preciating their homes better
than the increasing number
of delinquentS. quite often
from respectable homes. Sub
stantiating my statement is
the case Of the boys in Mary
land who lured a friendly
boxer to them (no doubt he
thought, "at last. some chill
dren to play WITH, coated
his back with shellac solvent
and set him on fire. This is
beyond "boyish" pranks. My
acquaintance is right. There
is no comparison between a
friendly, obedient dog and an
undisciplined, vicious boy.

are inclined to go overheard

terms as vicious" per

the statement that mo pun

of the boys was a sorry one
indeed. and it is good that
it has aroused such a re-
sponse of anger on the part
Of thinking people. But the
citizens who protest are
making a sorry showing
themselves. Their blazing

from Wheaton who was shifted
from fullback. Taking over as
fullback is Duane MILESTONE,
195-pound sophomore from

got to blend Rudy into oui
offense-he just can't step in
and do the job. He's got q
lot Of work to do in learning
our fakes and pivots and get
ting accustomed to the sys-
tenn"
Kuharich said he had nc
immediate plans for the dis
position of either Freddy Wyant
or AL Dorow, but it seems OBJ
vious that at least one will be
traded. Pittsburgh is believed
to be in the market for a quar-
terback. and the Redskins, with
Tackle j. d. Kimmel out fol-
the season with a broken leg
might be willing to swap for
a lineman.
Kimmel, resting comfortably
in Georgetown University Hos
pital after being injured in
last Sundays 24-l4 victory
over the Colts at Baltimore, is
expected to leave for his Texas
home in a few days.
The Redskins also need more
defensive backfield strength,
although Joe Walton, an all
American end at Pittsburgh last
year, looked good Sunday in his
first trial as a wing back. The
pressure is on Art DeCarlo, who
is far from his 1856 form. His
failure to improve might bring
on a trade in that department.
