...success. As other papers picked up the story the nervous Anti-Nazi League, remembering that a pro-Nazi magazine (Die Neue Woche, edited by Propagandist Dr. Manfred Zapp, in format somewhat resembling TIME) was already running full force, again warned the State Department: "If he does not take over certain of the activities of Dr. Friedhelm Drager [German vice consul in Manhattan] ... he will probably occupy the position of confidential fifth-column adviser to Consul General Borchers." Last week Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles told his press conference that the case of Friedrich Ried was "under consideration...
...tape interfered? . . ." Knudsen: "I do not recognize any. People might have thought we had red tape in General Motors, because we did things in a definite way. Here, too, there are certain definite ways to proceed. I propose to proceed by those ways just as long as I can get results by them...
...means of a magnetic-cycle cooling technique, low-temperature researchers have chilled certain salts to the astonishing temperature of .003°K. The method makes use of the principle that magnetization heats matter, demagnetization chills it. After preliminary cooling with liquid helium, the salt is magnetized, the heat thus generated drawn off into a jacket filled with helium vapor; then demagnetization pushes the substance down one notch further into the cold. But the limits of this method, as applied to the magnet ism of molecules, have been nearly reached...
...apparatus will be intricate and the experiment laborious. Says Dr. Darwin: "Each successive stage in producing cold has called for greater efforts and has on the whole produced less results." But scientists may find that at a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero, certain sub stances become permanent magnets ; they may find nothing. They do not know for sure what they will find, and that is the lure. If England survives they will keep going...
...again. How could they be expected to expand production for Defense, they asked, if the "damn-japs" were to be allowed to diddle the scrap price, perhaps clean out the country's junk yards in the process? They pointed out that the West Coast, where scrap consumption is certain to grow with expansion for Defense, has encountered scrap shortages in previous production peaks. They cited a recent statement of the Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel (which is all for free trade in scrap) to show steel's increased dependence on scrap: from...
