...massive building in an unnamed Siberian town. Inside was a monster reactor yielding 100,000 kw. of electricity. Five more like it under construction will make the plant the world's biggest. General consensus was that the Russians, put deep in the shade by the U.S. technical exhibit, made the late announcement-by-inovie as a Sputnik-like surprise...
RUSSIAN TRADE SHOW will be staged in Manhattan's Coliseum for four weeks next June-July, history's first major Soviet exhibit in U.S. In return, U.S. will set up exhibit at Moscow's Gorki Park...
...jammed last week with men who shape the world. As 5,000 scientists from 67 countries met for the second U.N. Atoms for Peace conference, the fission-and-fusion future unfolded in a staggering display of brains and machinery. Nobody topped the U.S. effort, a hugely successful reactor exhibit spiced with news that the world's first controlled thermonuclear reaction may have been achieved at Los Alamos. For a report on one of the biggest scientific meetings ever held, see SCIENCE, Monster Conference...
Speeches & Exhibits. The delegates came loaded with 2,300 scientific papers, 600 of which they were to present orally at five parallel series of meetings, with often baffled translators trying to deliver the highly technical texts in four languages. Along with this scientific five-ring circus ran two monster exhibitions, technical and commercial. The U.S. technical exhibit, which many visitors consider a triumph, and much better than the U.S. effort at the Brussels World's Fair, is staffed by white-coated scientists and 50 attractive, multilingual girls, who were put through a three-week crash course in basic nucleonics...
...Pauling, and famed Chemist Henry Eyring's study of reaction kinetics. The idea that such theories, normally discussed in detail in junior-year college chemistry, might be presented in films belongs to Dr. Thomas Jones of the National Science Foundation, who conceived the project as a Brussels Fair exhibit. But "the U.S. Government is very poor," Chemist Eyring observes pointedly, and there was no federal financing to be had. Eventually 83-year-old Philanthropist Alfred P. Sloan Jr. heard of Jones's plan, and although the fair deadline had passed, agreed to development and production through his Alfred...
