wants to ride through Tokyo on Hirohito's white horse, got encouragement from the Reno Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber ordered a custom-built, silver-mounted saddle for the Admiral, solemnly asked Washington for his beam measurements. "I wouldn't know about the posterior," said his daughter, Mrs. Preston Lea Spruance, a distant cousin (by marriage) to Admiral Spruance, "Daddy is about 34 inches around the waist, and his hips aren't much larger. Neither mother nor I has ever measured...
...this week. The amount is small-66,500 Ibs. But the story of how it was prepared, by Mateo Ruiz, 40-year-old chief clerk at Goodyear Rubber Plantations Co.'s 2,500-acre Pathfinder plantation at Kabasalan, on Zamboanga, was one to make businessmen beam...
...background. Interested in newspaper work from the start, Edstrom began work on a small weekly "throw-away" journal while still at Wayne University in Detroit. He attracted the attention of the metropolitan dailies, moved up to the Detroit Free Press, and after several years, shifted to the Toledo News Beam...
...champion leaper-to-a-conclusion. Last year Dr. Ehrenhaft started a sharp argument among physicists by announcing that magnetism has currents which flow like electricity (TIME, May 22). At a Manhattan meeting of the American Physical Society last week, he told how he had projected a very fine light beam vertically in a glass tube, then dropped into the beam microscopic particles of matter (e.g., chromium). When the particles were smaller than the light's wave length, they fell straight down. But bigger particles, instead of falling straight, as they would have if affected only by gravity, fell...
Ehrenhaft concluded that the energy which made the particles rotate could have come only from the light. He pointed out that physicists had previously observed that a beam of light creates electric and magnetic fields, exerts pressure against matter, can be rotated by a magnetic field (Faraday) or by certain substances which radiate energy affecting light...
