...great deal of colonial service and fighting in Tripoli, the Sahara, Ethiopia, incognito in the Belgian Congo. Lean and tall, he is a veteran of artillery, camel cavalry, a general of the Italian Air Fleet. Against the strong but supply-vulnerable Italian forces in the Duke's domain, Britain planned not a campaign of forcible dislodgment but one of attrition from without and harassment from within. Britain's recognition of ex-Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia as an ally was the signal for all good Ethiopians to come to the aid of a wrecking party, some elements...
...copyright music, collects blanket fees from radio networks and stations, doles out prorated royalties to ASCAP members. ASCAP collects in other ways that few people suspect. For example, Yankee Doodle and Dixie, as usually performed by orchestras, pay ASCAP fees. Reason: although the tunes themselves are in the public domain, the rights to arrangements of them are held by ASCAP for the arrangers. Most orchestras find it simpler to use an existing arrangement than to make...
Last week Broadcast Music Inc., a new music organization set up by National Association of Broadcasters to crack ASCAP's tune monopoly (TIME, Sept. 25), had 52 arrangers at work. Gleaning the public domain, B. M. I. picked up 150 most popular pieces (Dixie, Home, Sweet Home, Strauss waltzes, etc.), began turning out new arrangements of them which may be used free by anyone who buys the sheet music. B. M. I. orchestrations, "cross-cued" so that they could be played by a group of any size, were offered to the trade as better suited to modern microphone technique...
Last week this team began to get production. Their first deal: an immediate expansion of capacity in the controversial domain of TVA, which sought and got a new hydro plant (90,000 kilowatts) and a new steam plant (120,000 kilowatts), plus transmission facilities and generators, all to cost $65.000,000. These will give TVA 25% more capacity (by 1942) than its normal building program...
Overt purpose of the book is to examine the findings of modern science for light on the domain commonly accepted as beyond science. Quantum Mechanics (mathematics of the atom) finds that a subatomic particle, e. g., an electron, is accompanied by immaterial waves of energy which seem to guide it. Indeed it is only by analysis of its "pilot wave" that the speed and position of an electron can be determined, and then only probably, not certainly. Immaterial waves need not be tangled up with matter at all. Like radio waves, they can exist in or travel through nothingness...
