...seat on the Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Henry DeWolf Smyth (author of the famed Smyth Report) has found time for reflection. He concludes in the current American Scientist that "in the world of today, science and freedom are necessary to each other...
...Dick Wesson)-float weirdly around the inside of the rocket until they put on magnetized boots. Then they can walk on the walls. When a radar antenna jams, they go out on the hull in pressurized monkey suits to make repairs while traveling at seven miles a second. The scientist slips off into space, and his traveling companions stage a fantastic rescue that dramatizes the strange laws of spatial physics. Later, the explorers bound in seven-league strides along the cracked, cratered moonscape where gravity is only one-sixth of what it is in films that take place...
...Loretta Young. Last week, Moscow moviegoers were equally thrilled to relive a great moment of Soviet science. In a new full-length picture (Alexander Popov), People's Artist of the U.S.S.R. Nicolai Cherkassov (who looks a little like Henry Fonda) enacts the life of Russia's scientist. Popov, in the U.S.S.R.'s campaign to claim all the inventions of the past half-century, is the man who invented the radio. In the picture, Popov triumphs, despite the conniving of an "Italo-British adventurer" named Marconi "who, while still inexperienced in scientific matters, was nevertheless an aggressive grabber...
...face of these common problems, U.S. educators are not standing idly by. Last year 14 educators, lawyers and businessmen formed a Commission on Financing Higher Education, with Columbia University's Dr. Frank D. Fackenthal as chairman and Columbia Political Scientist John D. Millett as executive director...
Elusive Materials. In designing nuclear reactors, Hafstad said, the scientist cannot depend on familiar, well-behaved materials. Most of them are useless. They absorb too many neutrons (and so slow down the reaction) or they are quickly damaged by corrosion, heat or radiation. The AEC is building a special reactor to test the performance of various materials for piping, shielding, etc. Until it has been in operation for some time, reactor designers will not know for certain what materials they dare...
