ton range of ground station for
only a few minutes on each orbit,
yet during that time it will be
able to move enough traffic to
occupy 20 telegraph machines
operating at 100 words minute.
Courier la is a part of the
Defense Departments project

capability in this field.
The satellite is to be launched
from Cape Canaveral into a cir

that one of my fears was completely unjustified.
There is not trace of the burleSque treatment
that sometimes touched in the various stage pre-
sentatons of the folk opera that have SEEN There was
absolutely nothing of the vaguely conemptuous treat
ment of Negro life in southern town that was in the
original story of Catfish Row. by white South Caroln-
ian couple OF generations ago.
Touchy Group
can understand very well why few colored movie
fans have chosen "Porgy and BeSs' as their favorte
film of the year. Let's face it, we are touchy racial
group-and why shouldn't we be, after having had
feelings rubbed raw in hundred ways for genera
ton after generation of American citizenship One of my
white friends asked once why colored people
sensitive about jokes applied to their race? "We Irish
long ago got that and the first to joke
about our strutting and Dragging and quarrelling."
My answer was, you've gotten it because
you've been accepted It's easy to joke about how cold
outside when you're sitting before comfortable
fire But don't expect the poor beggar to joke about it
when he's still outside in weather with promise
as to when he'll get inside to rest"
Cheered on Broadway
So, when "POrgy and BeSS first showed on Broad
way stage about Is years ago, coored New Workers
stamped and cheered with the rest of the enthraed
theatre goers, because this smashing by
coored singers and actors before Americas most dis
eliminating audiences
But when the State Department started sending
Porgy and Bess all over the world most colored Ameri
cans reacted with hostility, because while New York
audience would understand that the show only folk
opera not rendition OF Negro life, there way
for audiences to know this And many us had
visions of the film version adding to misconception
throughout the world.
Well, my opinion is that we can relax. That film is
so beautiful land do Dorothy cambridge too and
the music and acting so great that there's no room
for foreign domestic viewer to develop contempt
uous or plying attitude. It's just theatre that's ALL and
