Synthetic Life. When last month news slipped out that George Washington Crile, Cleveland medico-scientist, had created living cells, laymen gasped, scientists doubted (TIME, Dec. 22). Last week, scientists had a chance to see for themselves. Brain fats, proteins and ash from apparently dead body cells, placed in water containing normal body salts, formed minute structures which multiplied by dividing in two. Many still doubted synthetic life, spoke of a new scientific tool...
...With ash trays at their elbows the Supreme Court judges smoked incessantly, seemed frankly bored. Their President Comrade Alexy Vyshinsky, also presided at the Schakhta Trial. Two of the judges had come to the Supreme Court Bench directly from their workbenches in a Moscow and a Leningrad factory...

After passing through a "haircatcher" which picks up any lint from bathing suits, the water is heated to between 72 and 75 degrees. It next runs through two coagulant pots, of soda ash and alum, which prevent undue acidity. The great work of filtration is done by a tank containing 27 tons of graded Cape May, New Jersey sand, through which the water will seep. Before entering the pool it will be impregnated with chlorine gas, which lends a greenish color. The results are tested twice daily by comparing a test-tube full of water with a graded color chart...
...Chief of these was the German KSG process, which was exploited by International Combustion Engineering Corp., now in the hands of receivers. The Prestcoke method, fruit of eight years experiment, has unique features: briquets that do not crumble; a product free from clinkers with only one-half anthracite's ash, one-quarter its moisture; a high yield of gas and tar. Gas is salable, tar less so. Former projects have suffered through inability to obtain a balanced market for these byproducts. Prestcoke's prospects are brightest west of the Alleghenies, where freight charges handicap anthracite fatally. Even there it will...
