ReIiqion in Schools

tire area in the teaching of
the public schools" in refer

to do this in the public school
system. paid for by the taxes
of all the people, of all faiths,
and Of no faith at all, is to
eliminate the teaching of. or
about religion from the public
school class room.
If we are all really equal,
as the Supreme Court seems
to feel so sure we are, this
would be a good place to
demonstrate it.

nothing. as it would also

How Strong and True Are Civil Rights PIonks?

The special session Of Con-
gress converting fortunately
in this election year after
party platforms have been
pledged. affords us the OPP
portunity to appraise the
sincerity of aspirants to po-
litical Offices.
In the area of civil rights
there is a wide range OF
needed legislation which, in
the ensuing years, should
ascertain the true relation
ship Of this country's gov
ernments to its Negro citi-
zenry. For despite the fact
that these people have to
maintain both national and
local governments along with
other groups, through sacri-
flee of their lives and pay
ment of taxes, the practices
and activities of these gov
ernments have been adverse
to Negro welfare. And indeed
the portals of free citizenship
stand ajar to favored groups
of other lands to enter and
enjoy the fundamental free
doms of employment, equal
justice under the law, taxa
tion with representation, and
the enjoyment of human
dignity-yet denied to the
group within.
Legislation considered in
the current session should
be made in cognizance of
the fact that without the
full participation of all citi-
zens in every phase of gov
ernment, there is not repre-
sentative democracy. 1t can

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Pacific Has Giant Hot Water Heater
By THOMAS r. HENRY

A big "hot spot" on the
earth's surface has been
found in the southeastern
Pacific.
Along a rise" 5000 miles
long in the sea floor heat is
flowing through the crust out
OF the planets molten inte-
rior at a rate about eightfold
the average for the rest of
the globe.
This discovery by Univer-
sity of California oceanog-
raphers is described in an
Office of Naval Research re-
port.
The area lies southwest
ward off South America.
Easter Island forms part of
it.
over most OF the oceans
the heat flow from the inte-
rior is about equal to that
on the continents-that is,
one-millionth of a calorie per
square centimeter per sec
ond. Along the rise" how
ever, values are so high that
the earliest measurements re-
ported by Navy scientists
were thought to be mistakes.
Further Investigations, how
ever, indicate that the entire
region has a high heat flow,
ranging from two or three
times average at the two ends
of the rise to more than eight
times at the center.
Curious Discovery
"Curiously," says the Navy
report. "on either side of the
rise heat flow measurements
are very low, less than half the
average values for the earth
as a whole and at places one
t1ftieth Of the values along
the crest Of the rise. This
pattern has been attributed
to a giant convection cell in
the mantle of the earth in
that area. rising beneath the
crest of the ridge and de-
Scending on either side"
Further study of the re-
gion, says the Navy report,
may bring new insight into
the formation of continents
and mountain chains.
There is an unmapped
chain of high mountains
through the middle of the
Gulf Of Alaska. Their peaks
are nearly three-quarters of
a mile under the sea surface.
Twenty peaks of this un-
derSea range rising from the
ocean floor between Kodiak
Island and Vancouver Island
off Canada's Pacific coast
a distance of about 600 miles
now have been located, ac-
cording to a report by Rear
Adm. H. Arnold Karo, direc-
tor Of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey.
Location of links in the
mountain chain up to now
has been largely a matter of
accident. The latest Of these
peaks, 8,700 feet high, has
just been discovered by the

Probing the Atoms Heart

Our country now has put into OPP
Grafton another great new research tool.
Located at the Atomic Energy Commits
Sion'S Brookhaven National Laboratory,
the tool is one of the worlds two largest
atom-Smashers," or particle accelera-
tors. 1t is technically called the Alter
mating Gradient Synchroton, and 1t is
capable of producing beam of protons
at an energy of more than 80 billion
electron volts Dew.
According to the Acc, this is the
highest energy yet'attained by particle
accelerator-a feat that can be matched
at present only by the similar Synchro-
ton that has been built for the European
Organization for Nuclear Research, near
Geneva, Switzerland. Construction of
the Brookhaven facility, which includes
240 giant magnets placed in a ring
shaped tunnel a half mile in circum-
ference, was begun five years ago, and
its total cost has been estimated at
$31 million.
This is lot of money but the Aces
physicists expect that the investment
will yield rich dividends by enabling
them to learn more about many kinds
of particles that are produced in target
nuclei through bombardment with high
energy protonS. Such experimentation
is designed to open up to sciences eye
areas Of matter and anti-matter that are
now wholly hidden in the Still-mySte-
riouS "subatomic universe" and al
though the work involved is much too
oh fnT Of IN
there can be no doubt about its enor-
nous potential significance. Thus a
White House primer" has assessed 1t as
follows:
1t is concerned with phenomena
remote from our immediate and familiar
surroundings, but applications stemming
from this branch Of physics have had
profound effects upon our technology,
our national security and even our daily
living. -.
Our understanding Of the ultimate
structure of matter and energy depends
upon the great particle accelerators. E.
We cannot know what will be dis
covered from the deeper probingS Of the
subatomc world. Our only guide is past
experience. and here the lesson is evident
that nature often turns out to be re-
markably different from any expectation.
The practical results that must derive
from continued exploration with larger
accelerators cannot be guessed. If the
past is a guide, they will be numerous and
fantastic. The one thing we have learned
to expect from nature is to be surprised.
In sum, man has just begun to ex-
plore the infinitesimally small but almost
infinitely meaningful heart of the atom,
and the discoveries still to be made there
can hardly fail to have the deepest and
most far-reaching kind of influence on
the future of the world. Viewed in that
light, Brookhaven's 3O-Bev synchroton
is worth every dollar invested in it, and
it is only the forerunner of far more
powerful accelerators now in the design
stage.

No Dollar Surplus

l have just read some sta
tistics put out by an organi-
zation called the Committee
for Constitutional Govern
ment that really appalled, me.
Like all taxpayers, I have
read from time to time about
the staggering cost of our
farm price support program,
and the mountainous stock
piles of wheat. cotton, and
various other farm products
that we're all paying for.
must confess, though, that
reading statistics that run
into six or nine zeroes some
how doesn't strike home.
They're just too big for peo-
pie to grasp. But when I
read today that it's costing
us nearly 100000 every six
hours just to pay the stor-
age costs of farm surpluses
I decided I simply had to sit
down and do something
about it.
Imagine, 100000 every six
hours! Or $15,000,000, 900
since the support program
began. That, according to
the report I read, would pro-
vide over $83 for every per-
son in the country!
Surely this is a shocking
situation. Can't you do some
thing about it? Can't you
press Congress to take some
action to stop this SenSeless-
ness?
No wonder Benson says
farm program losses are cost
ing American taxpayers the
most money ever paid out by
any government to subsidize
agriculture.

Ira R. Rubottom reversed his
course and criSs-crossed the
area several times. BY proc

raphers have reconstructed
an almost complete picture
of the sea mountain which
is a f1at-topped cone that
measures IL miles in diam
eter at the base and some
what over a mile at the top.
Its peak is about 1000 feet
under water.
This mountain, according
to Adm. Karo's report, is ap-
proximately the 160th dis
covered by Geodetic Survey
ships during the past few
years through an extensive
area of the northwest Pacific.
There also have been several
false reports, one of which is
said to have been the
cause Of a serious ship
wreck. When the Washington
Mail broke in half in rough
seas four years ago 300
miles southeast Of Kodiak
Island it was claimed that it
had run into a barely sub
merged mountain peak. The
Pathfinder sounded an area
OF about 1000 square miles
around this position and
found no depths of less than
two miles.

The United Nations is con-

The United States is there

The United States owes a
very considerable debt to

A. When the 42d Division
was organized at Camp Mills
in 1917, it was composed of
National Guard units from
26 States and the District

diverse group blended itself
into a harmonious unit,
the name Rainbow Division
was adopted. During the First

a U.N. settlement in the
Congo.
We. the United States and

from the fact the Russians

After a year in Malaga and
Singapore I began to believe
that we Americans didn't
have a great deal Of prestige
to lose in the first place.
My introduction to the fact
that Americas rating is low
in some quarters came shortly
after my arrival at the Uni
versity Of Malaga in June,
1858. A pair of wild-eyed
youths from the Socialist
Club promptly pounced upon
me and for hours explained
how fortunate I was to get
out before the United States
economy came crumbling
down upon me.
Repeatedly I was called up
on to defend Americas poll
cies in Lebanon. the Formosa
Strait and the Southern
schools.
My fellow students, who
worShiped oxford as an

open scorn for the American
system Of high education. In

agree to recognize degrees

versities.
Those young Malayans
were not anti-American, for I
