...York-born Lewis Mumford is no intellectual opportunist. He was long a disciple of the late Sir Patrick Geddes, the sociologist-biologist-philosopher who gave him his enthusiasm for sound city planning. A self-styled "basic communist," Mumford disapproved of Marxists but writhed when he was called a "liberal." A man of parts, he wrote excellent architectural criticism for The New Yorker, lectured at Columbia, Dartmouth and Harvard, got himself denounced as "a sublimated recruiting officer" when he called for a U.S. break with Germany, Italy and Japan...
...During Biologist Huxley's absence, practical biology in London's Zoo has carried on. Five white male goats were born to the Royal herd. The bear cages are crowded with the addition of seven brown cubs. Five baby Bactrian camels of Russian descent are expected to arrive sometime next month...

Born in Columbus, Ohio and attending Ohio State in his home town, Buck, after deciding not to be a biologist, has traveled periodically through the South and spent a year in Europe on a Sheldon Traveling Scholarship...

Luminous Bacteria. A $1,000 prize went to Biologist Frank Harris Johnson of Princeton and Physiologists Dugald Edmund Smith Brown and Douglas Alfred Marsland of New York University for observing the action of enzymes in a living organism. The three collaborators worked with luciferase, the one enzyme which can be watched at work inside a living organism. It is the enzyme which lights up fireflies, and also lights up the bacteria which often make ponds and seawater phosphorescent. Working with flaskfuls of luminous bacteria, the researchers found that alcohol and anesthetics, when added in small amounts to the bacterial solutions...
