What's It All About? In his first public statement in the Southern Rhodesia capital of Salisbury, a busy modern city (pop. 260,000) that boasts of racial "partnership" while practicing a segregation almost as complete as South Africa's, Macmillan did a quick knee bend in the direction of the Africans. Britain, he said, would not remove its "protection" until all the people had a chance to say whether they wanted federation or not. Sir Roy Welensky was visibly disgruntled.

...advantage of the moon-relay system is that it makes possible the use of microwaves in the ultra-high frequency, 400-megacycle band that are normally unaffected by magnetic storms. Such microwaves cannot be used in normal long-range radio transmissions, since they do not bend around the curve of the earth, travel only along line-of-sight paths. When a message (Teletype, code or facsimile) is to be sent to Hawaii, an 84-ft. dish antenna at Annapolis, Md. is pointed at the moon.

His enemies in the party have tried time and again to unseat him, but they have never succeeded. Now the anti-Butlerites are attempting to scare him out by withholding and refusing funds for the committee. Result: the national committee is in financial straits, is two months behind in the rent for its Washington headquarters, forced to beg for day-to-day handouts to meet the office payroll. Last week Chairman Butler struck back at his tormenters with...
