MOSCOW (AP) A Soviet scien
tist has turned the Bible story of
Sodom and Gomorrah into a sci
ence thriller by suggesting the
two wicked cities were blown to
bits by a nuclear blast set off
by invaders from outer space.
Possibly, suggested physico
mathematician M. Agrest, Lot's
wife was petrified the Bible says
turned into a pillar of salt when
she disobeyed a warning not to
linger in the area or look back.
Those who looked at the fire and
brimstone lost their eyesight and
perished, he added.
Agrest's theory, presented in a
Literary Gazette article, was trans
mitted seriously and in detail by
the Soviet news agency Tass. This
is how it goes:
Before the dawn of history, the
.arth may have been visited by
space travelers fromi other plan
ets. Possibly a gigantic space ship
approached the earth at a speed
1 A . 1 1 J t 1 1 1.1

braked for a landing.
The landing may have been in
the area of the Baalbek Terrace,
a platform of huge stone slabs in
the anti-Lebanon mountains of
Syria, or the slabs may have been
constructed as a launching plat
form by the space invaders. No
body, said the author, has satis
factorily explained the existence
of the Baalbek Terrace.
This area, relatively speaking,
is not far from the Libyan Desert,
where glassy bodies called tek
tites, containing radioactive iso
topes of aluminum and beryllium
have been found.
The author then pointed to the
Dead Sea Scrolls found recently
in the area adjoining the Leban
ese mountains, and wrote:
"The description they give of
the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah cannot help attracting
the attention of modern men who
are familiar with nuclear physics.
In modern language, this legend
says that people were advised to
leave the area of the future ex
plosion, not to linger in the open,
not to watch the blast. Those of
the fugitivesTwho looked back lost
their eyesight and perished."

Henderson Blast
Culprit Remains
Puzzle To SBI
HENDERSON, UP) Police re
ported no success Tuesday in heir
investigation of a dynamite blast
which shattered windows in two
homes Monday night.
"We don't have a thing to go on
not an idea," said Police Chief
C. C. Harris.
He said the dynamite about a
one-stick bomb apparently was
thrown from a passing car, shat
tering seven window panes in the
home of Johnny Petit, a worker for
the past several months in the
strike-beset Harriet-Henderson Cot
ton Mills, and six panes in the home
of Julian Overby, his next door
neighbor. The explosion dug a hole
in the ground about 18 inches in
diameter and 8 inches deep. Petit
asserted Tuesday he plans to con
tinue working in the mill.
It was the first incidence of viol
ence connected with the long, bit
ter strike since early last month
when an unexplodd dynamite bonfb
was found in the yard of a mill fore
man. The fuse had burned down to
within an inch of a dynamite cap
before it went out. The bomb was
made of seven sticks of dynamite
Last month's incident brought an
all-out investigation by the state
bureau of investigation. However
extra SBI agents left Henderson
several days ago with no arrests
having been made.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG
"Satchtlmouth" Comes To Greensboro
Louis Armstrong, jazz virtuoso
with the golden trumpet and the
gravelly voice, will make one of
his infrequent pilgrimages South
when he visits Greensboro's War
Memorial Auditorium Friday night
at 8 p.m.
The concert, which will be given
one night only, is to feature a re
latively new band, featuring the
trombone of Trummy Young, the
piano of Billy Kyle and the newly
added clarinet of Peanuts Hucko.
Armstrong will be accompanied in
his husky vocals by the ebullient
Velma Middleton.
Armstrong, who became a jazz
legend practically from the mo
ment he worked his way to Chicago
to play with the band of the great
Joe "King" Oliver, has been con
sidered the greatest of traditional
jazz trumpeters for many years,
and has win countless polls and
awards.
.From a poor beginning in New
Orleans - he was born on Indepen
dence Day, 1900 - Armstrong ca
tapulted to international fame, play
ing, laughing' and singing his way
into the hearts of kings, queens and
uncivilized African natives alike.
He has blown his trumpet in prac

Good seats are still available for
the concert.
MOSCOW (AP) Nikita Khrush
chev departs tomorrow on a new
barnstorming tour in Asia, leav
ing behind him a diplomatic col
ony puzzled by his blunt pre-sum-mit
demands on the key interna
tional issues of Germany and West
Berlin.
The foreign diplomatic corps in
Moscow, which witnessed his ani
mated exchange of views with vis
iting Italian President Giovanni
Gronchi, has been invited to be
present when the Premier takes
off from Vnukovo airport for In
dia. President Gronchi is not sched
uled to leave Moscow until Thurs
day. He spends Wednesday in
Leningrad, freshly and personally
briefed by a candid Khrushchev
on the Soviet position with regard
to the German and Berlin ques
tions. The Soviet Premier still de
mands that the big powers sign
separate treaties with Communist
East and Federal West Germany
and that the occupation status of
Berlin be ended by making West
Berlin a "free city."
fin Bonn, a West German For
eign Office spokesman said
Khrushchev's blasts "show a no
ticeable toughening of Soviet pol
licy." Spokesmen for Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's Christian
Democratic Party said Khrush
chev's latest statements were "not
calculated to strengthen faith in
the sincerity and good will of the
Soviet Union." An opposition So
cialist leader, Karl Mommer, took
issue with Khrushchev's insistence
that Germany's present borders
could be changed only by war.
This statement, the Socialist said,
was superfluous, since Wrest Ger

Gronchi's meetings with Krem
lin leaders and the Soviet Premier
ended officially with the signing
of a joint communique and an
agreement for cultural coopera
tion. Gronchi visited Moscow Univer
sity in the afternoon and then
left for Leningrad. He returns to
Moscow to leave by air for Rome
Thursday.
Gronchi's talks with Khrush-:
chev today were conducted in an
atmosphere which was calm in
comparison with the fireworks of
the night before, when Khrush
chev brushed aside protocol to re
new his demands on Germany and
Berlin. Khrushchev's remarks pro
voked from Italian Foreign Minis
ter Giuseppe Pella, a member of
Gronchi's visiting delegation, the
statement that "I must say we
cannot agree on Berlin." v
Khrushchev has made it plain
once again that he is determined
to go ahead alone with a separate
peace treaty for the East Germans
if the West does not agree. So
emphatic was his restatement of
this position that some felt it
meant a tough time for the heads
of government of the four big
powers in Paris in May.
Khrushchev, meanwhile, plunges
into another aspect of world po
litical tensions as he heads toward
Asia. India's and Indonesia's "re
lations with the Communist Chi
nese, which have caused both New
Delhi and Jakarta governments
much concern in recent months,
will provide the backdrop for his
talks in four Asian countries: In
dia, Indonesia, Burma and Af
ghanistan.
For Khrushchev, the trip will
mean a sharp change in climate,
too. The weather in Moscow is
consistently below freezing in
February, but it will be hot in
Indonesia and Burma, and for New
Delhi, India's capital, .this is the
warm, sunny flower season.
Mock Convention
Campaign Units
Being Sought
Norman B. Smith, chairman of the
UNC Mock Democratic Convention,
sent out an SOS yesterday for peo
ple who are interested in opening
campus campaign headquarters for
the several Democratic candidates
for the presidential nomination.
"My committee, of course, would
have nothing to do with the organ
ization of these headquarters, but
we are anxious for interested peo
ple to open them, since they will
play an important role in the Mock
Convention," said Smith.
He said that the "National Com
mittee" will go so far as to provide
office space for the headquarters
and try to give some aid in the way
of information on candidates and
places where some financial help
might be received. However, he
stressed that the headquarters
would be entirely independent of
vhe Committee.
According to Smith, a Humphrey
for President movement has al
ready been started by Bob Pace,
but he said that he knew of no oth
ers. Other prominent Democratic
presidential hopefuls are Kennedy,
Johnson, Symington and Stevenson.
"Much of the color and fun of
the Mock Democratic Convention
will be provided by these headquar
ters," said Smith. "I hope several
people will show interest."
Anyone interested in starting a
campaign headquarters and who
would like to have the office space
and assistance the Committee can
provide should leave his name in
the YMCA office.
The UNC Mock Democratic Con
vention, will be held April 29-30 in
Woollen Gym.

CHARLOTTE (AP) A passive
resistance movement by North
Carolina Negro students against
segregated lunch counter service
spread to Charlotte today, guided
by a young ministerial student.
"I have no malice, no jealousy,
no hatred, no envy," said Joseph
Charles Jones, a Negro graduate
student at Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity here.
"All I want is to come in and
place my order and be served and
leave a tip if I feel like it."
As other Negro students had
done earlier in Greensboro, Dur
ham and Winston-Salem, the 150
demonstrators in Charlotte filed
quietly into six downtown stores
and filled the lunch counter seats.
There was no boisterousness a
jmong the well-groomed students
and no protest when white wait
resses ignored their presence.
They sat impassively while the
stores closed the lunch counters.
and departed orderly when one of
the stores closed its doors.
In Greensboro, where North
Carolina A & T College students
have agreed to a two-week cool
ing off period in their demonstra
tions of last week, variety store
lunch counters remained closed.
In Durham and Winston-Salem,
where North Carolina College and
Winston-Salem Teachers College
students are in the second day of
their protest, the lunch counters
closed yesterday when the demon
strators arrived. Another one in
Winston-Salem closed down today
when the strike spread to a Wal
green Drug Store.
Classes were delayed for 30
minutes this morning while police
scoured Durham High School
which has three Negro students
after a telephoned bomb threat.
Police said no bomb was found
and that there appeared to be no
connection among this threat and
earlier ones at variety stores in
Durham and Greensboro.

Vance Addresses Cubans
On Dream Of Equality
The American dream of equality,
while an economic failure and a
political success, has not failed and
will not fail so long as each gen
eration is able to feel itself ad
vanced further than its predecessor,
a Kenan professor of sociology tola
visiting Cuban students here Tues
day morning.
Thomas Jerrerson, said. Dr. Ru
pert B. Vance, dreamed of politi
cal and economic equality based on
an agrarian economic order. Whiie
his poJiical dream succeeded, eco
nomic equality failed in the transi
tion from iarms to indusuy, Pro
fessor Vance told the Cuban Stuuent
Leader Seminar participants.
"Americans have supported the
dream of equal rights," he told die
Cuban sociology siuaents, "not be
cause they were cement to be equdi
ur average wi-h everybody eLe, utit
oecause many wanted a chance io
see if they weien't better than
most."
This doctrine of equality, for po
litical purposes, showed itself in the
Deciaiation of Independence ai.d
the Constitution, which created a
single status society based on the
inviolability, respect and account
ability of individuals, Dr. Vance
said.
Despite this, However, the rural
sociology specialist continued, "we
have created and accented inevita
ble differences in wealth and pro
prty. If this is true, why have we
continued to talk of the American
dream of equality?"
Dr. Vance s answer to this ques
tion was that American have al-

According to D: Vance,- .this
"cpen class structure" hjs been
possible because of technical prog
ress, foreign immigration, the low
versus high birth ra:es of the well-to-do,
as compared to the working
classes; and the organization of
workers.
The American doctrine of equal
ity, he concluded, has asserted it
self in equal education for every
one, as contrasted wi:h the systems
of Europe, where education is only
for those able to continue past the
primary level.
