The West would thus avoid

The Western strategy pro-

is to come so close TO accepting

At the same time, Of course

not to permit the Soviet Union

less that the West has previ-

more than the Soviet Union
has been willing to allow in

2. A peace treaty with the

8. Gradual withdrawal Of all

There's nothing fiat about

tistic additions are apt to take

latest trend is to decorate
walls with objects other than

Lighting fixtures came first.
In recent months decorators
have increasingly relied upon

New Mixture
Offered for
Missile Armor

Los ANGELES, Mar. 20
(AP). = Faster missiles and
safer space ships may result
from a new material being
produced at the University of
California at Los Angeles.
The new material combines
the heat resistance Of ceramics
with the strength and fiexi-
bility of metals in a "layer
cake" structure which its In
ventors say is much superior
to anything yet produced.
Profs. Francis r. Stanley
and William j. Knapp Of
UCLA's Engineering Depart
ment said previous attempts
have been concentrated on
joining small particles of ce-
ramics and metals-somewhat
like mixing salt and pepper,
Under the new process, mol
ten metals and ceramics are
sprayed in alternate thin lay
ers on a rotating disk. after
cooling, the cake is crushed

smaller than grains Of salt.
with each grain retaining its
layer-cake structure. The
grains are then pressed in a
mold at temperatures UP to
2,200' F.
The resultant material re-

tons of the material have been

ties.
Most materials used so far
for missiles nose cones and
thrust chambers become brit
tie at high heat and crack or
break under stress.
The new process. the inven-
tors said, is expected to with
stand higher heats IN missile
fuel-burning chambers, per-
hitting the use of fuels with
greater thrust power. 1t also
may be used in nose cones to
resist the heat of atmospheric
friction upon re-entry. Even
tuaIly entire rocket ships may
be coated with the material
to reduce the hazards of at
mospheric friction and absorb
the impact Of meteorites in
space.

Flag Of Confederocy
Hoisted in Bermuda

HAMILTON. Bermuda. Mar
20. tNANA). THE flag Of the
Confederate States today flies
proudly over this speck of Brit
ish territory midway in the At
lantic. %
The flag recently was hoisted
over q small building in "Olde
st. Georges Towne.'' formerly
the capital Of this i9ysquare-
mile island. #e
The building has been con-
verted into a Confederate mu-
scum to honor what few Amer
leans know-the role played by
Bermuda during the Civi War,
on the side Of the South.
A plaque on the facade of
the building reads: In 100,
Samuel Day. Governor, erected
this building. During the
American Civil War, it was oc-
cupied by an agent Of the Con-
federate States. and later be-
came the Globe Hotel"
The Confederate agent was
Maj. Norman Walker. who lived
here with his wife and infant
son. The Globe soon became
the hangout for Southern spies
and sea captains who ran the
Northern blockade to bring sup
plies to the hard-pressed Con-
federate forces.
Most of the goods were i'm
ported from Britain and then
transshipped from here to
Southern ports Everything
from army blankets to head
ache tablets were struggled to
the South on fast-sailing packet
ships from Bermuda. The
ships would come back loaded
with cotton for Britain's textile
industry.
