No, we shall have first to
clean up the mess in our own

which grants to all, on both
sides of the color line, their own
free development and encour-
agement according to their ca
pacity and their level OF civili-
cation. There is no middle
way ;" So says one of the
chief opponents and enforcers OF
South African apartheid.
This freedom on both sides
of the color line includes, of
course, the freedom of the black
man to be employed only in the
most mental and servile capaci-
ties, the freedom to accept one
sixth of the wages that white
man receives for doing the same
work, the freedom to live in the
most squalid of shanties in the
ugliest of segregated slums and
to make sure that he is within
thoe confines and nowhere else
after dark, the freedom to carry
on his person at all times the
degrading pass card which he
must show to any white man
on demand, or else!
There seems to be a slight
confusion of terms here. Ac-
tually there is no freedom on
the dark side of the color line,
but there is equality there: the
absolute equality which is ex-
perienced by each and every
inmate of Alcatraz or Sing-Sing.

In the effort to trade some of
this equality for a little free

South Africa destroyed their
discriminatory identity cards,
and refused to report to their
jobs, the police went to work
on them with guns firing and
truncheons failing. The screams
of black men and women, club

not be further apart.

Archaeology sounds like dull
sport in five syllables. 1t
isn't. 1t is the sand box of
men who want to know where
everybody else has been. Ed
Link is the newest of the
full-time Psychologists. He
spent a half million on a boat
just to get to where he wants
to dig.
Link is a tall, polite, bald
man with an attractive wife,
Marion, who became a news
paper reporter when she was
graduated from Syracuse
University. She's the hiSto-
rian of the expeditions.
Ed came a long way to get
to archaeology, which, as a boy
he could not pronounce until
his father took the wires off
his teeth. The elder Link
made pianos and pipe organs
in Binghamton, N. Y. The
piano business hit a clinker
and Ed began to barnStorm,
after World War I, with pilots
who flew OX-5S from COW
pastures and wore leather
helmets and goggles.
AROUND 1926, Ed. who is
an inventor, decided that avi-
alton was going to become a
business someday and. when
it did, someone would have
to find a way of flying
through bad weather. This
led to the invention of blind
flying instruments which, in
turn, led to the invention Of
the first Link trainer.
1t sold for $500, a cockpit
with stubby wings and in
strumentS which spun and
swung, while student ayiators
tried to find out from dialS,
whether they were upside
down or rightside up. The
nice part of the Link trainer
was that it was inside a room
and, if the student crashed,
nothing more grave than his
marks fell.
Ed sold the company to
General Precision Instrument
five years ago for $5,250.000.
Now, at Sc, he is retired;
a nice age and a nice sum.
He was on vacation at Key
Marathon, Fla, when he dis
covered archaeology. Capt. Bill
Thompson took him out on q
fishing boat and taught Link
to hunt for wrecks on the
bottom Of the sea.
That did it. Soon, Mrs.
Link was diving, although,
truthfully. she didn't look like
much in the weighted shoes,
the rubber suit and the fish
bowl on the head. Since then,
they have become addicted to
ocean archaeology, which is
livelier than digging into the
tombS of the Incas and the
Pharaohs.
Their boat is called the Sea
Diver. 1t is specially con-
/, structed of steel, and is
81 feet long. 1t is a trawler
with twin diesels, big suction
pumps which vacuum the
the floor of the sea, glass
ports in the bottom to look
below, and a stern which
opens up to permit divers to
walk into and out of the sea.
They have been on full
scale scientific expeditions to
