...forget to look farther than December's headlines. Don't forget the Minimum Wage Case, the Wagner Labor Relations Act case, the effect of these decisions on the history-making Supreme Court Bill, on the history-making rise of Organized Labor...
...fiscal 1937. Relatively small though the new figure for fiscal 1938 appears, it will be the eighth consecutive deficit-with government revenues only a shade short of the alltime high ($6,695,000,000 in booming 1920 when Wartime taxes were still in effect...
...proportion in which they should withdraw. Leftist sympathizers were already claiming that volunteers with the Rightists outnumber 4-to-1 volunteers with the Leftists, clamoring that therefore four must quit the Rightists for every one who quits the Leftists. Berlin threw in a small pair of pliers to the effect that both Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini see no difference between a "volunteer" who is fighting as a soldier and one who is fighting as a propagandist-i.e., Der Führer and Il Duce want what they call "the Red Agents of Moscow" also withdrawn from Spain...
...bound for Rochester, N. Y. where the National Academy of Sciences meets this week. Not only as the originator of the cyclotron but as the foremost U. S. destroyer and creator of atoms, the No. 1 U. S. investigator of artificial radioactivity and the headmaster of what is in effect a school for atomic physicists, he was to receive the Comstock Prize ($2,500 and a certificate). With a membership limited to 300, the National Academy is the lordliest body of scholars in the country and the Comstock Prize, its highest honor, is awarded only once every five years...
...means of a radio-frequency oscillator a rapidly alternating potential of 50,000 volts is maintained across the tank. Under this influence the deuterons in the centre start to move outward. The effect of the big magnet is to pull them in circles. Just as they complete a half-circle the voltage is reversed, so that they get a kick of 50,000 volts to boost them around the other side of the circle at higher speed. After another half-circle the reversed voltage hits them again, and so on. The deuterons go spiraling outward, faster and faster, toward...
