...their Comet at Capetown 45 hrs. 2 min. later, having traversed the 6,200 miles in 33 hrs. 24 min. less time than it took Amy Johnson last year. Said Flying Officer Clouston, a New Zealander by birth, to the delighted South Africans who crowded their landing field, "Thanks very much, but please don't damage the machine." In less than six days the flyers were back in London, with three records: London-Capetown, Capetown-London and roundtrip...
...ultra-Fascist Il Tevere had his paper on the streets two hours later, condemning Hollywood for threefold intrusion into Italian cinemaffairs: 1) invasion of the market with a product "unsurpassable because of a crushing superiority of means," 2) control of distribution, 3) a threat to enter the theatre field (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's plan for a circuit of its own in Italy). Italy permits Hollywood to take home $1,000,000 profit annually. Since this represents a return of one twentieth of one percent on a two billion dollar investment, Hollywood was concerned, but mildly...
...particle really existed than that the Bethe-Heitler theory was at rault. Further help for the theory came from the researches of Caltech's H. Victor Neher at San Antonio, Tex., and Madras, India. Cosmic ray particles are pulled toward the earth's poles by its magnetic field. Particles of high energy resist this pull, and so predominate in the region of the Equator. The latitude difference between Madras (13° N.) and San Antonio (29° N.) furnished valuable data on electrons in the energy band between seven billion and 17 billion volts. These high energy electrons...
...proton, yet its track was about six times as heavy as could be expected from an electron. It was clearly ticketed as an X-par-ticle. Counting the fog droplets as carefully as he could and taking into consideration the track's curvature as bent by a magnetic field, Dr. Street figured its mass at 130 times the mass of the electron-with a probable error of 25% either...
...formed seven years ago between St. Mary's of California & Fordham of New York. This year St. Mary's football season was spoiled by money troubles, and Fordham had been tied only by Pittsburgh. As expected, Fordham bruised and bumped St. Mary's all over the field, three times scored touchdowns that were called back. In the third period Joe Woitkoski finally scored the one that beat St. Mary...
