Using rabbits and dogs, Konikoff plans to put the whole works, electrodes and transmitter, inside the skin and leave the package there for long periods, the transmitter broadcasting all the time. The ultimate purpose is to develop body-powered devices for use inside humans. One possibility is the "pacemaker," which gives electrical timing to ailing hearts. Existing pacemakers tucked into human bodies get their electricity from small batteries that must be replaced periodically by a surgical operation. This should not be necessary, says Konikoff. The body's own electricity can keep a pacemaker running indefinitely...
There are still 19 agonizing steps involved in every odd-lot trade, and the report charged that the two firms have resisted automation because it would "reduce their profits and make it easier for competition to develop."

World law, Rhyne cautioned, should not be thought of as "a dramatic panacea or cure-all for the world's ills, but rather a patient labor demanding immense and constant effort to develop the true basis for civilized progress and existence." Suggested Improvements. Henry R. Luce, editor in chief of TIME Inc., recalled the Biblical passage, "Blessed are the peacemakers" and pointed out: "Note that the word is peacemakers-peace has to be made. Peace cannot merely be kept-not for long-by force...
