that when a Negro reads a book
in a library set aside for whites
he reads the letters right OF the
page and the page itself turns
black.
II has something TO do with the
theory that one drop Of black blood

mind the details. I Just mention
1t to explain why the chief Of po-

that there's as much sense in

What makes many Of US sick,

that such achievements can be ac-

We used to wonder how Nazi

Lapp's book MAN AND SPACE"
CHarpers, 1873 PIP. $4.95). It was
published before the Russian as
tronaut went out into nowhere and
came back. But Lapp makes a
point that may help US keep our
sense of balance, as we try to
catch up.
The main value Of sending .
man into space Is psychological
rather than chronological, I'm
Lapp's Judgment. It may be the
only value.
The real reason" he writes,
why the United States Is dipping
80 deeply into its Golfers to sup
port space research Is that space
spectaculars have become SYM
bolic OF chronological supremacy.
Sending a man into a quick
orbit around the earth has little
scientific value and less urgency,
but the United States committed
over a third Of a billion dollars to
this chore. Such IL the price tag Of
space status"
Since Lapp has long been a critic
Of federal lassitude, and his COM
ments were made before the Rus
slams got their man into outer
space, his observation ought not
be dismissed as sour grapes.
Just because the Russians have
set a pace, we ought not automat-
ically assume 1t Is the right pace
for US. When the Soviet leaders
show as much interest in caring
for men on earth, as they do for
their man In space, then we win
be impressed.

new school site, Herbert
Sugden reported to parents &
friends of the school that the
Fund Drive was within $4,000
Of the original gol of $500,0OO.

pressed to all his appreciation

port. He also expressed graft
tude to Mrs. James sherwood
