Page Four THE BENNETT BANNER Nuvember, 1957 Gapsiib of the ta These are some of the stories which have made headlines dur ing the past month. Satellites Riassian scientists launched the first man-made satellite into outer space. This has caused the United States to step up its program. American scientists plan launch ing a satellite in December. The Soviet earth satellite, launched in a north-to-south or bit, travels over 1800 miles an hour, circling the globe every 96.2 minutes, 560 miles out in space. Sputnik, the name given the satellite, is reportedly sending messages back to Soviet scientists in a code which American scien tists have been imable to de cipher. France A “no confidence” vote tumbled this nation’s 23rd post-war gov ernment. Premier Maurice Bour- ges-Maunoury lost by 26 votes when he presented to the French Assembly his plan to give Algeria limited home rule in an attempt to end rebellion which has raged for nearly three years. At present, President Rene Coty is seeking a premier to form a new cabinet. Asiatic Flu Asiatic flu in many parts of the United States has been classi fied as an epidemic. Several colleges, including Wake Forest, North Carolina College at Durham, and Winston - Salem Teachers College, have reported outbreaks of influenza. A panel of medical experts has agreed that mass flu vaccina tion is of little value. The consensus of the group: Don’t worry about getting vacci nated: you’re probably better off without it. If you get flu, go to bed ar»1 treat the symtoms. Integration Federal ti'oops remain on duty as nine Negro students attend classes at Little Rock’s Central High School. No progress seems to have been made in removing the troops. Little Rock churches held spe cial prayer services in an effort to relieve the tension. Union county in South Caro lina has allocated over $1,000 to purchase machineguns if federal troops attempt to enforce integra tion there. Labor Unions James Hoffa, the target of cor ruption and racketeering charges, was elected president of the teamsters’ union at the conven tion In Florida. The election of the mid-west "lAY ON," UNDERCLASSMEN WE SHALL REDEEM OUR LONG LOST (UP The CLASS OF ’58 union boss who succeeds Dave Beck means almost certain ex pulsion of the teamsters, the na tion’s largest labor union, from the AFL-CIO. The parent ferdera- tion has called for Hoffa’s ouster in the wake of charges that he hjas misused union funds and power. An injunction to block the elec tions at Miami Beach, filed by 13 New York teamsters, was de nied by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for D. C. and the Supreme Court. They charged that the ballots had been rigged in favor of Hoffa. Some of the records subpoened by the Senate Rackets Committee reportedly have been burned. World Series The Milwaukee Braves won the 1957 baseball world champion ship by defeating the world cham pion New York Yankees. The Braves won the title in the seven-game series and their first pennant since moving to ^ Milwaukee. Lew Burdette pitched the de-' elding game.
