World OF Make Believe

Since the black bourgeoisie live largely
in world of make-believe, the masks
which they wear to play their sorry roles
conceal the feelings of inferiority and of
insecurity and the Illustrations that haunt
their inner lives. Despite their attempt to
escape real identification with the masses
OF Negroes, they cannot escape the mark of
oppression any more than their less favored
kinsmen. In attempting to escape identi-
fication with the black masses, they have de-
veloped self-hatred that reveals itself in
depreciation of the physical and social
characteristics of Negroes-E. Franklin

10-Yeur Study
Behind Housing
Of Sd Rocket

CUMBERLAND. Md, Sept.
10 (AP).-Ten years Of re-
search went into making the
plastic case housing the third
stage Of the rocket which sent
a Vanguard III satellite into
orbit yesterday.
The third-stage rocket was
developed by the Allegany Bal
listics Laboratory near Cum
berland. The laboratory is a
Navy Bureau Of Ordnance IA
cility operated by the Hercules
Powder Co.
The glass filament REIN
forced plastic case was de-
signed by the Hercules Young
Development Division at Rocky
Hill, N. j. It was essentially
the same unit used in the third
stage Of the Thor-Able III
rocket which launched Ex-
plorer No. 6.
The propellant charge in the
third stage was designed to be
burned under vacuum condi-
tons at very high attitudes.
The plastic case was the final
result of a 10-year effort to
find a material lighter than
metal but equally as strong.
The plastic material used in
the final stage marked a new
chapter in rocket design. Il
permits designers Of rocket en-
gines to include greater weight
Of propellant-or more push
per pound-into the finished
rocket engine.
