Said Psychoanalyst Menninger: "This book [Sexual Behavior in the Human Female - TIME, Aug. 24] does not represent American women, much less the human female. It should have been labeled 'What 5,000 or 6,000 rather talkative ladies told me about sexual behavior of women in the U.S. under certain conditions' ... I don't much care what they said because I don't believe them." Dr. Menninger scoffed at "a certain naivete in Dr. Kinsey's approach to the problem." Accurate scientific research into human sexuality is more difficult than among Kinsey's first...
Foreign shipyards are booming. From Hamburg to Yokohama, shipbuilders are trying to keep up with orders totaling more than 6,000,000 gross tons (TIME, Aug. 3).

Because contributions had not yet reached the initial subscription goal, plans for the ambitious "Hall of Our History...
...Aluminum foil did not work well as a dressing for burns despite the early hopes of Dr. Alfred W. Farmer (TIME, Aug. 30, 1948), but he has found something simpler and more effective: dusting the burn with fine aluminum powder. It is easier to apply than pressure dressings, leaves a cleaner edge around the healing area, and is more comfortable for patients...

Steen (TIME, Aug. 3) on the rich Colorado Plateau near Moab, Utah. The claims will be worked by the Lisbon Uranium Mining Corp., 60% of which has just been bought by three Odium subsidiaries in a stock and cash deal...
