...Talmadge: "The United States Supreme Court . . . has blatantly ignored all law and precedent . . . and lowered itself to the level of common politics . . . The people of Georgia believe in, adhere to, and will fight for their right under the U.S. and Georgia constitutions to manage their own affairs . . . [We will] map a program to insure continued and permanent segregation of the races...
...fugitives from religious persecution, by traders like the East India Company and Hudson's Bay Company. Modern imperialism reached its height in Europe's golden 19th century, when Kipling wrote The White Man's Burden and Empire-Builder Cecil Rhodes laid his hand on the map of Africa and predicted: "All British." In the 20th century, imperialism has become a word of reproach...
...stations"' on the path of the solar eclipse will be ten well-equipped observatories strung out from Canada to Iran (see map). The biggest gap will be the U.S.S.R., where the Russians presumably have stations of their own. As the shadow sweeps past, each observatory will determine the instant of totality, i.e., the time when the moon is centered in front of the sun. This can be done by 1) taking high-speed motion pictures of the eclipse, 2) watching photoelectrically for the moment when the light from the sun is weakest, 3) photographing the sun's spectrum...
...such accuracy would be possible without consideration of the moon's rugged topography. So the Naval Observatory (as interested in practical geodesy as the Air Force is) has supplied a new and accurate map of lunar mountains and plains that will show on June 30 at the edge of the moon's disk. Shafts of sunlight slipping through lunar passes can be allowed for in figuring totality. If such calculations were not made, the error of fitting the North Atlantic to missile warfare would increase about ten times...
...more conventional effort to map the Milky Way galaxy has just been completed at Lick Observatory, Calif. Dr. C. D. Shane announced last week that he and his observer. C. A. Wirtanen, have just finished a picture of the northern hemisphere sky. The job took seven years and required 1,246 plates, each 17 inches square and exposed for two hours. If all the plates were assembled on a single surface (not likely to be done), the picture would be about 50 feet square...
