In fact, if the total weight was 1,000 times the weight of the brick, it would move at one- thousandth of the brick's velo- city. However, whatever happens to the brick after it leaves the man's hand, the sled will con- tinue at the same speed. If the passenger now repeats his performance with a second brick, his speed increases again but this time it will be a larger increase because the reaction is acting on a smaller mass (by one brick). The last brick that is thrown has the greatest affect. What is important is that this inde- method of propulsion is pendent of any external medium.

Continuous The analogy with a rocket is clear, the main difference being that ejected from matter is rocket continuously and not in separate lumps. Babila, which is a centre or these gangs.' Mussolini used the same para-military system of armed gangs to break the labour movement, first in the Po Val- ley and later in the rest of Italy, during the early 1920s.

Policy "This new tactic results from a change of policy on the part of the leaders of the fascist movement. Three years ago the MSI [Social Move- ment of Italy--the main fascist organization] had a parlia- mentary policy. 'Its policies appeared to be watered down, and didn't dis- turb the revolutionary left very much. "Then the big strike move- ment began in the factories, and the fascists' main strong- hold in the universities was threatened by the students.

'After that they began to infiltrate into left-wing move- ments, and create provoca- tions. In Milan, they organized bombing outrages which were

If we want to close the analogy gap, we can provide our with supply of passenger water, a pump and a hose pipe!

To emphasize the main point: in a car, ship or aircraft, matter is chemically changed (burned) to provide the energy for turning a wheel, screw or propellor which road, water and interact with air respectively. The burnt residues appear as useless exhaust wastes. In a rocket, fuel is burnt in order to provide the most ener- getic exhaust material which the continuous push provides required. Mass is mass. No, matter how thin the gas, if it's fast enough and in large enough quantities, 3,000-ton Saturn it can lift a vehicle into space! Essentially, a rocket motor an enclosed space- consists of the combustion chamber — in which the fuel burns and a nozzle through which the hot, expanding gases can escape.

That being the case, it becomes blamed on the anarchists. They get were able to into the anarchist organizations because these organizations had very little discipline' Provocations organized in this way gave the government an excuse for a clamp-down on left-wing groups and in the witch-hunt that followed more than 20,000 people were arrested. This was an attempt to pre- vent any link-up, between the militancy of the working-class -expressed in continual strike revolts like struggles, the rising in Reggio Calabria and huge demonstrations-and the left-wing organizations.

Comparison The centre-left government in Italy, Franco said, puts for- ward the idea of opposite extremisms' in order to justify their clamp-down. According to this conception, extreme left-wing movements are just as 'dangerous' as the fascists.

Of course, in practice, the fascist squadri are able to operate under police protec- вОСТОК

clear that the atmosphere, far from being necessary for the functioning, rocket's actually hinders it, by interfering with the expansion of the exhaust gases! For this reason, the rocket thrust increases by about 10 per cent when outside the atmos- phere. Fuels Clearly, from our example of the bricks, the speed which our rocket can attain will depend on our fuel supply and the exhaust Contrary to appearances, the firework rocket's black powder is a very poor fuel with an exhaust velocity (ev) of about 700 mph.

A modern solid fuel can pro- vide an ev of around 5,000 mph and the hydrogen-oxygen mixture 8,500 mph. (The experimental nuclear rockets that being are now developed have exhaust veloci- ties of over 20,000 mph. How- tion, and are not subjected to any repression, Franco said.

'In fact, the fascists always in conjunction with the work police,' he added. 'And they are able to get away with it because the Communist Party makes no attempt to organize workers to drive the fascists off the streets. Regardless 'At the moment, the work- often take the law into ers their own hands, regardless of what the Party says. In Trento, for example, they captured two fascists during a strike and paraded them round the town with placards proclaim- ing them to be scabs and fascists. 'But often, even when the fascists make some outrageous provocation, the Communist Party will simply raise it in parliament, or at most organ- ize a demonstration.'
