Most concrete expression of Mr. Rockefeller's unsectarian liberalism is Manhattan's large, Gothic Riverside Church, a place of worship for "all the disciples of Jesus," which he built for $4,000,000 and in which he installed Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. No less monumental was the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry, to which Mr. Rockefeller was the largest contributor (TIME, Oct. 17, 1932 et seq.). That this survey, which found great need of interdenominational cooperation in foreign missions, was received "unenthusiastically" by the Northern Baptist Convention, its onetime President Charles Oscar Johnson was quick...
British science was impressed. Kapitza was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, first alien to be thus honored in two centuries. To house his generator, helium liquefier and other equipment, an ornate new laboratory was built in the courtyard of Cavendish Laboratory, with steel and scarlet furniture in the director's office, separate rooms for the heavy apparatus, vibration-damping walls, an Eric Gill plaque of Lord Rutherford, boss of Cavendish Laboratory, in the entrance hall. Cost: $75,000. Happy Dr. Kapitza went in as director, started investigating the magnetic resistance of substances at low temperatures. At three...
...strong hydrochloric acid, the cellulose structure came visibly apart under powerful microscopes. The particles, it turned out, had not been too small to see but were hidden by a cementing substance that the acid dissolved. There were football-shaped bodies some .00006 in. long. As the cell wall was built the particles formed compact strands like strings of sausages, and as string after string was laid down on the cell wall they merged so neatly with the gelatinous cement that the structure looked completely homogeneous unless the cement were dissolved. Aware now of the double structure of cellulose and able...

That day Walter Damrosch will conduct a choral-orchestral program at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall; Secretary of State Hull will address a gathering in Washington's Pan American Union Building, built with Carnegie funds ; Pittsburgh will honor its onetime first citizen; more than 2,000 U. S. colleges, schools, libraries that Carnegie endowed will unveil his por trait...
...more U. S. houses burned down than were put up. This strange condition resulted from no outburst of pyromania, but from an almost complete stoppage in U. S. housebuilding. In 1925, new homes were built for nearly 500,000 families. In 1934, only 22,000 families were provided with new shelter. Yet even in Depression, which brings fewer marriages and a lower birth rate, the U. S. population was increasing at the rate of about 400,000 families a year. Result: an acute housing shortage demonstrated by the fact that U. S. residences are now only 4% vacant, while...
