...million people live. The commissioners would be top-drawer private bankers-for the U.S., perhaps Chase Manhattan Bank's John J. McCloy or Detroit Bank & Trust Co.'s Joseph M. Dodge; for Britain, Sir Oliver Franks; for West Germany, Chancellor Adenauer's influential banker friend, Hermann Abs. Perhaps Jean Monnet would be added from France, and Escott Reid from Canada. In time, Japan might also be asked to chip in. The idea would be to commit combined large-scale capital investment to those economies, under control of an international authority independent of the donor countries...

Last spring, British Mathematicians Raymond A. Lyttleton and Hermann Bondi attributed the expansion of the universe to the presence of thin hydrogen gas between the galaxies, suggesting that the hydrogen atoms may have slight positive charges and therefore push one another apart by electrostatic repulsion (TIME, June 22). A still-later theory comes from Professors Thomas Gold of Cornell and Fred Hoyle of Cambridge. England. Gold and Hoyle also think that the mysterious force comes from intergalactic hydrogen gas, but they argue that its urge to expand comes from high temperature, not from electrical repulsion...
