...One-tenth of them, however, firstly declared that they had no time to devote to civilian work, and only 31% stated that they could spend more than five hours a week. There are two undergraduates, on the other hand, who are willing to give 30 hours to the work...
Although less than one-half of the Faculty replied to the questionnaire, one-tenth of them indicated that they were already contributing as much time as they could allow. A majority proved to be uncertain as to how many hours they could spend on civilian defense, but two members of the Faculty stated that they would be willing to devote nearly 40 hours to this kind of work...

It will clearly photograph 500 times as much sky as the small area (1° in diameter) now recorded by ordinary reflector telescopes, yet it requires an exposure only one-tenth as long as the fastest astronomical lenses previously used. Equally valuable in aerial photography for its speed and wide, clear focus, the camera is being adopted by the U.S. Army...
...Success of the first course seems highly improbable. Shattering of morale by air bombing, an upraise of the conquered nations and eventual starvation of the continent are the three possible ways in which it might succeed. The failure of Germany with a 4-1 air superiority to break England, one-tenth the area of Europe, seems to rule out the bombing theory. Revolt within Germany is highly-tenuous, especially in actual war, with martial law enforcing the German will and starvation driving the conquered to work. New acquisitions of industrial and food areas make the economic blockade no longer very...
Adolf Hitler boasted last week that he had deprived Russia of the use of 15,000 airplanes, 22,000 tanks and 27,000 guns. The present supply lines to Russia are not, of a caliber to replace one-tenth of such losses this winter. But if the lines-particularly the Iran-Iraq lines-are not erased, Russia may gradually grow stronger rather than weaker...
