...York section of Brooklyn last week. The catalyst was a menacing group of white men called the Society for the Prevention of Negroes Getting Everything (SPONGE). Their goading picket line, set up in a neighborhood that has been traditionally explosive because of racial street-gang rivalries, was an irresistible target for Negro bystanders. Fighting broke out and scattered gunshots crackled through the area, killing an 11-year-old Negro boy as he crouched in terror on a street corner. Rooftop commandos hurled everything from garbage to tire jacks at police and passersby. In all, 22 people were hurt...
...ways into the Thames River. Thus the 41st-and last -nuclear-powered Polaris missile submarine was launched last week in the General Dynamics Corporation's yards at Groton, Conn. For the U.S., it marked the end of a historically successful effort to develop seapower able to strike any target on earth...
Results of the collisions and near collisions are measured in the target buildings by giant spectrometers, or photographed in spark and bubble chambers, which trace the paths of atomic, and subatomic particles. Analysis of the results reveals the mass, charge and energy of particles produced by the interaction of electrons with the target; it gives scientists fresh insight into the structure of the atomic nucleus. It can also identify new and previously unsuspected subatomic particles...
Subatomic World. Though SLAC's 20 BEV output is exceeded by the more familiar synchrotrons-devices that accelerate atomic particles by whirling them in a circular path-linear acceleration has several advantages. The beam is easier to control, more accessible for experimentation and bombards a target with more particles per second -increasing the probability of particle interaction. Even more important, circular accelerators cannot impart energies of more than about ten BEV to electrons which radiate away much of their energy when traveling in a circular path. Synchrotrons and other circular accelerators such as cyclotrons and betatrons are usually used...
Died. William Parker, 64, a tough, abstemious career cop who earned a night school law degree and rose in the Los Angeles Police Department to become its chief in 1950, a post in which he built one of the finest, most efficient forces in the U.S. but became a target of criticism from Negro and other minority groups that reached a crescendo during his handling of the Watts riots last year; of a heart ailment; in Los Angeles...
