School Board and
Taxpayers Tangle Over
Use of 82-Year-old Reader
TWIN LAKES, Wis. <*> — The
School Board of this southeastern
Wisconsin community voted 4-1
to retain use of the 82-year-old
McGuffey reader despite a threat
that legal action will be taken
to remove both the book and the
board.
More than 250 persons over
flowed the village hall, some of
them listening outside through
open windows as the issue was de
bated.
Edward Zahn, a Burlington at
torney representing the 30-mem
ber Twin Lakes taxpayers alli
ance, declared if the reader is
not removed from the Lakewood
School within seven days, he will
request the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Angus
Rothwell, to forcibly remove the
books.
He also will ask the Kenosha
County Circuit Court to remove
the four board members who
favor keeping the book.
Zahn said Rothwell objects to
use of the 1879 reader on grounds
of sectarianism.
Board President Dennis Beula
defended the reader. He said the
board plans to write to Rothwell
explaining that the reader is being
retained “only as supplemental
reading at the direction of the
teacher.”
Beula said the board decided
earlier this year to adopt the
reader because it followed a pho
netic approach to reading, used
a larger vocabulary and expound
ed moral values.

X-15 Rocket Plaiie
Streaks Six Times
Faster than Sound
EDWARDS AIR (FORCE BASE,
Calif. UFl — The X-15 rocket plane
streaked up to 3,920 miles an
hour Tuesday.
Space Agency test pilot Joe
Walker pushed the stub-winged
space explorer almost six times
faster than sound—twice the
speed of a bullet—to within 80
mph of its designed speed maxi
mum of 4,000 mph.
The old X-15 mark was 3,647
mph set last week by Air Force
Maj. Bob White on his way to an
altitude record of 217,000 feet.
Walker lowered his tail flaps,
which act as brakes, for the last
10 seconds of his 80 seconds of
powered flight. Officials wanted
the speed held down to obtain
more data before an all-out speed
run. . <■
Air friction heated the flaps to
lJlOG degrees Fahrenheit, so hot
they would glow in darkness.
Leading edges of wings and tail
reached '1,000 degrees. The X-15’s
design-limit temperature is 1.200
degrees, and 1,000 was the high
in previous flights.
The X-15, gradually going high
er and faster, is exploring prob
lems of heating and re-entry into
the earth’s' atmosphere that fu
ture space craft will encounter.
Walker , hit his top speed near
the top of an arcing 110,000 foot
high flight to the fringes of spaoe.
He guided it “over the hump”
of the arc by manual control,
switching off his electronic super
autopilot shortly after his engine
exhausted its fuel. He returned
to automatic control just before
plunging back into the upper
layers of the earth’s atmosphere.
