...concludes Eye-man Gordon Lynn Walls (of Bausch & Lomb) in the current Journal of Applied Physics. Dr. Walls's theories will hardly quiet the old argument as to whether the bull sees red, or merely the movement of the matador's cape. Dog lovers will continue to protest the thought that their pets live in a colorless grey world.* But Biologist Walls outlines a hypothesis of color vision new to the layman. The ability to see colors Dr. Walls links directly to visual acuity-the ability to see well. He points out that the vertebrates with the greatest...
Yesterday, after months of quibbling and needless delay, the gaso-line-rubber conservation program went into effect throughout the nation. Yet, in spite of the Bausch report, and statements by President Roosevelt and Rubber Administrator Jeffers as to the dire necessity of this measure, many Oklahomans and 166,000 out of 546,000 Detroit car owners refused to register. Mr. Jeffers warned "There is a good deal of organized opposition in various quarters--the funds for which are being furnished by people who should know better. I don't question their motive.

Admiral Blandy's chief worry is about fire-control and optical instruments. High up on the Bureau of Ordnance's list of companies which rate a production E (for Excellence) is Bausch & Lomb.

(whose tight hold on glassmaking machinery was publicized by TNEC) and most of the glass industry, will try the case next month. In March he jumped Masonite Corp. (which is fighting) and Bausch & Lomb (which paid a $40,000 fine) for contracts he did not like. Next came the spectacle industry and Johns-Manville. Meanwhile France fell...
Thus scalded on its way out of the frying pan, Bausch & Lomb promptly fell into the fire. With 13 other U. S. makers of eyeglasses, five wholesalers, three trade associations (virtually the entire U. S. optical industry), it was accused last week by the same Federal grand jury of another anti-trust law violation. With its fellow defendants, the Government claimed, B. & L. had conspired successfully for the last ten years to keep the cost of eyeglass frames and lenses unnecessarily high. Government example: spectacles which would bring a profit at $7.50 are sold at a fixed price...
