Catlin made the statement in delivering the second 1957 Weil Lectures at 8:30 p.m. in Carroll Hall. His topic was "Can We Co Exist with Colonialism. Imperial ism, Racialism and Sovietism?" Segregation has been called by Bishop Jennard of Louisiana as a "unAmerican. unCatholic and un ChriF.tiio," and Catlin declared he believes that position is the correct one. Comparing the struggle for in dependence in South Africa with struggles for fr?edom and democ racy in other nations, Catlin said it is true imperialism called the tune in many places in Africa. But he added "racism was no bocks, the most prominent of less a test for our civilization." which is "The Science and Meth The west and the free world ods of Politics." f t - H- 1 William Lee Eallenger (right) " . . . the big experiment Theory Said Disproved The Phvsics Dept.

Palmatier, chairman of the Physics Dept., indicated in an interview yesterday that the Dept. had conclusively disproved Ballenger's theory. "He (Ballenger) violated two major laws of physics," Dr. Pal matier pointed out. "There were (1) the Conservation of Energy and (2) the Conservation of Ang ular Momentum." "Mr. Ballenger claimed as a prediction of his theory that two spherical magnets, constructed so hat the center of each was a cn.ith nnle and the surface of each a north pole, would rotate around one another if brought into close contact.

"No headway can be made against Soviet propaganda in South Africa unless all species of ; the Nazi race theory which dis- j figures South Africa can be dis- j carded and all people are, made to feel that their contributions are a part of a common enterprise of freedom."

The Chief of the Polish Eco nomic Mission here, Henryk Kot licki, said that an American offer had been made and that "we shall continue negotiations so we can J come to an agreement."

Police Chief Murell Waddle said ; he could offer no explanation, and ! estimated upwards of $1,000 had been picked up. The most popular theory offered by townspeople was that heavy rains which had fallen since the first of the week flush ed out money that had been hid den away in the sewer.

The House committee agreed yesterday to consider next Friday the extra 30 million dollars the Post Office Department says it has to have this year. But Chairman Cannon (D-Mo.) of the Appropriations Committee accused Summerfield of pulling "an unadultered bluff." "They'll deliver the mail," he told the House in a speech from the floor.
