John Langstaff, the baritone
Isoloist, handled his ungrateful
assignment with aplomb and
excellent diction. He was at
some disadvantage working
against a rich orchestral score
that was often fervent and
sometimes anguished, for the
work uses the voice as another
instrument, the only one that
can project the peculiarly intri-
cate Hopkins verse style.
In seeking to project the
characteristic rhythmic designs
and the verbal dissonances Of
the poet, the composer calls
upon the singer to negotiate
wide skipS, meliSmas on diff

at a level where the orchestra
steals the attention away.
There was an impression that,
given the text to follow, an
auditor might be content with
merely the eloquent orchestral
commentary. That is heresy, of
course, but on a single hearing
one cannot be certain that the
composer accomplished his mis-

VOstOk Booster
Called Cluster
Of Six Engines
BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Staff Writer

An East German engineer
says the Russian man-carrying
spaceships are launched by a
cluster of six rocket engines.
H. A. Vilter, writing in the
East Berlin publication, die
Technik," gave an account of
the flights of Vostok III and
~, the twin orbiters launched
by the Russians last summer,
An abstract Of his report was
published in English transla-
ton by the Department OF
Commences Office of Technical
Services.
"The power of the six rockets
of the initial stage was rough
ly 20 million horsepower" the
engineer stated.
Thrust, rather than horse
power, is used to measure rock
ct capabilities in the United
States, but on occasion horse
power has been used. The first
Saturn CT, launched late IL,
1861, was described in a Space
Agency press release as having
80 million horsepower.
This would indicate thai the
Vostok rockets have about two.
thirds the power of the Saturn
CT, the first of which was
rated at 100000 pounds
thrust. This would be consist
ent with the current belief that
Russian manned ships are
launched by 00,000-kilogran
1880, 000-pound) booster stages.
The Russians have referred
to six rockets" in previou,
statements but it was uncleal
whether they meant a total o.
six engines in all stages or si2
in the first stage. Cosmonaut
Gherman Titov blurred thi,
point, apparently deliberately
in statements he made in thi'
country last year. The Ger
mans description clearly de,

While many another scien-
fist has tried and failed, a
Buffalo, N. Y, scientist has
produced birth defects with
thalidomide in a laboratory
animal. His work may provide
drug researchers with better
guidelines for testing new
drugs in pregnant animals
and thus help to prevent hui
man deformities.
This scientific coup was re-
ported by the researcher in
the current issue of the Jour-
nal of the American Medical
Association.
The scientist, DR.. Joseph A.
DiPaolo of the Roswell Park
Memorial Institute, then let
slip the news that a second
coup may be on the way.
Cell Growth Studied
In a telephone interview with
The Star, he revealed that he
has had moderate success
in the use of thalidomide
against two transplantable
cancers, one in mice, the other
in hamsters.
Cancer researchers have beer
intrigued by the possibility that
the same action that inhibited
the growth of unborn infants
can inhibit the growth of other
cells-cancer cells.
But thalidomide - although
linked to 1000 malformed in
fants in Europe-haS been diff.
ficult to study in laboratory
animals.
Duplicating the congenita
abnormalities has proved diff.
cult. One test with rabbit.

Three Ministers Do
Not Join Projected
Bomb Fund Drive

At least three Minneapolis min
listers did not Join in a fund rails
ing program for two suspended
Minneapolis officers, whose homes
were subject of bombings last
week.
Rev. Lowell Johnson pastor Of
st. Peters ANE church, largest
Minneapolis congregation with a
predominantly Negro membership,
who was out of the city at the
time Of the bombings and the an
nouncement of the fund raising
effort by the Revs. Stanley r.
King, pastor of Sabathani Baptist
church and Rev. J. R. Holloway,
pastor of Zion Baptist church -
stated he did not plan to join in
the campaign to reimburse Patrol
man David Clunis and Captain
Kenneth Moore, for damages to
the property they live in.
Two other ministers Bishop j.
w. Graham Of Graham Temple
and Rev. w. b. williams of the
Fourth Street Church Of God in
Christ also declined to join the
bombing fund movement.
None Of the three ministers were
critical of the idea of a fund rails
ing drive, except that they con-
sidered the effort premature and
an implied suggestion that the
Negro community was in some
manner involved in the unfortun-
ate bombings.
The views Of all three pastors
was that If there was some proof
that some individual and members
of the Minneapolis Negro COM
munity where proved to have set
off the bombings, their present
position would be subject to altera-
ton.

Race Bios In
United SfdfeS
DiSqroeefuI CoWLeS

Speaking at the June IT COM
mencement Of Allegheny college In
Meadville, Pa, John Cowles, presi-
dent Of the Minneapolis Star and
Tribune daily newspapers said the
following about racial bias in the
us.
Said Cowles, Our most press
ing immediate problem Is the elm
nation Of racial discrimination
right here in the United States.
It is intolerable that so many Ne
gro citizens in so many parts of
the South are prevented from vot-
ing. 1t is disgraceful that in the
nine years since the United States
Supreme Court said that segrega-
ton in public schools should be
eliminated, not a single elementary
school in either Alabama or Miss
issippi has been desegregated.
1T is shameful that Negroes
can't use the parks and other pub
lie facilities in so many Southern
cities, and it is inexcusable that
Negroes generally, both in the
North and in the South, don't have
equal job opportunities with
whites.
"Our Negroes have clearly been
entitled to these rights for a long
time. I think it is remarkable that
the Negroes have shown the re-
straint and patience that they
have.
The time has come, In my opin-
ion, when the federal government
must fatty insist that the southern
states and communities comply
with the federal laws without
further delay. Some additional fed
eral legislation is needed. In those
states where the governors pro-
claim open defiance Of the Supreme
Court and the laws Of the country,
believe consideration should be
given to the suspension Of federal
grants or subsidies until it becomes
evident that they are clearly try
ing to bring about their full COM
pliance.
The prestige and image of the
United States as the leader of the
free world have been and are being
badly furnished in other parts OF
the globe by the evidences Of racial
bigotry which have recently be-
come so painfully apparent.
'In addition, there are, Of course,
many forms Of racial discrimina-
ton in the North, most Of them
more subtle than those in the
South, which must also be prompt
! ly eliminated"
