...half and three-quarters billions of dollars. What relation is there between these taxes and the current Recession? Mr. Colm and Mr. Lehmann argue that such measures are harmful, if imposed as they were in the first part of an upswing, because by redistributing income they increase consumption too fast, and by taking the surpluses of the wealthy they reduce greatly the amount of capital available for new and speculative investment. This apparent conflict between the long-run need to lessen savings and the cyclical problem of having enough capital on hand to promote recovery can be reconciled, the authors...
...season-might be a whole career for most men, but for Welles it is only Springboard to Success. Nor does he want the Mercury to pin all its faith on the classics: he pines to do a real mystery, a real farce, a British pantomime, a fast revue, a Mozart opera. He has shown in Heartbreak House, with its careful, elegant sets by John Koenig, that the sceneryless stage of Julius Caesar and The Cradle Will Rock was not the fetish of a flash in the Pantheon, but simply a well-timed theatrical stunt. The brightest moon that has risen...
...determines the wave length of the emitted light, just as the oscillation frequency of a radio transmitter determines the length of the radio waves. When his particles were speeded up to velocities around 1,000 miles per second, Dr. Ives observed a change in wavelength which indicated that the fast-moving atomic clocks were running slow, as the theory predicts they should...
Observations with high-speed camera and photoelectric cell show that an expert golfer may swing his club head as fast as 125 m.p.h. At such velocities air resistance becomes a considerable factor. At the American Physical Society's convention in Washington last week, Physicist Sylvan Jay Crooker of Purcellville, Va. reported that air resistance may be diminished fifteenfold by scientific streamlining of the club head, the shape (except for the face of the club) conforming to airship hull contours tested in wind tunnels. Declared Dr. Crooker: "Dynamic and ballistic analyses, checked by field tests, prove the low-resistance [streamlined...
Harry Stutz died in 1934. That year Stutz Motor Car Co. made just six cars. It borrowed1 $266,000 from RFC., At last, as a final indignity, it started making door-to-door delivery wagons for butchers and bakers instead of low, fast, flashy cars for racing drivers, and "Bearcats" for college boys. Some of the new commercial models could be driven standing up; even that did not help. Last year the company subsided into 77B, trustees began casting about for reorganization plans acceptable to two-thirds of the creditors. Last week Federal Judge Robert Baltzell gave...
