...minutes after launch. No such trouble dogged last week's test. With the loudest bull bellow the cape has heard yet, the Atlas rose from its pad on 360,000 Ibs. of thrust (150,000 each from the two out board booster engines, 60,000 from the central sustainer). Hitting mach 10 just 132 seconds up, the boosters abruptly shut off and dropped away with their skirts. The central sustaining engine roared another 120 seconds or so, shoved the missile to its apogee 400 miles up. After a 22-minute hop through 2,700 miles, the separated nose cone...
Around the South, politicians felt the rumbling landslide, scurried to get with it. Georgia's Governor Marvin Griffin, who had pushed Faubus toward making a big issue of integration at Central High School last fall, weighed in quickly with an expected telegram on the "splendid victory." Mississippi Democratic Chairman Bidwell Adams wired: "Northern Democratic leaders should scrape the wax out of their ears." Louisiana's Governor Earl Long thought it was "a pity there are not more people like him at the helms of government." Florida's LeRoy Collins saw the results as reflecting "overwhelming resentment" against...
Faubus' landslide raised points far more serious than politics. A Federal Court of Appeals is reviewing Federal Judge Harry J. Lemley's decision to delay for 2½ years integration at Little Rock Central High; if the delay is refused, it will take a brave Negro to claim his rights at school's opening. Most Arkansans also expect trouble in the seven other communities that have already begun integration. In seven Southern states-Alabama, Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia-there is no integration at all, and the newly emboldened anti-integration forces are waiting...
...balanced on a pin, the point sticks up one mile north and one mile west of tiny (pop. 610) Lebanon in north central Kansas. This is the geographical center of the U.S., a trifling fact established 40 years ago in much that way, by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. Pridefully, Lebanon put a marker on the spot, struck off fitting souvenirs, built a new $50,000 motel and counted 20,000 tourists a year...
...agents provocateurs. The Communist weekly tabloid Blitz haltingly explained away police bru tality in Kerala by claiming that the police were "trained in a tradition of unbridled repression, of which Communists were the main target during the former feudal rule," and had not got over their old ways. The Central Secretariat of the Communist Party issued a 1,200-word resolution which concluded that the shooting down of the strikers at Quilon was "an unfortunate incident," and hinted that if things worsened, there would be a demand for Communist Namboodiripad's resignation...
