...Artillery Regiment and a great galaxy of German Army chiefs turned out in Berlin for the rehabilitation of Fritsch, his return to a status in which he can again become, as he was for some years, the general around whom other German generals rallied in their frequent moments of friction with the Nazi Party. The generals, especially Fritsch, have always in the past opposed bold Nazi strokes-like remilitarization of the Rhineland-which might lead to war should the Hitler bluff be called. The recall of Fritsch, however, was susceptible of another interpretation: that the army may think the time...
Besides outlining a new area of friction between Italy and the Church, the Pope made reference to an old one. Catholic Action-organized activity of Catholic laymen under the guidance of their bishops-was the cause of frequent rows between Church and State in 1931. Lately Roberto Farinacci, Fascist firebrand, urged that members of Catholic Action groups be excluded from the Fascist Party. Exclaimed the Pope last week: "The Pope therefore says 'Beware!' I advise you not to strike at the Catholic Action associations. I advise and beseech you not to do so, for your own good, because...
...delighted O. W. U. students for 40 years. Last week the board of trustees announced that they had chosen Dr. Rice to take over the job of Japan-born President Edmund Davison Soper, 60. Dr. Soper, whose resignation after a ten-year incumbency was preceded by rumors of friction with alumni, will teach religious history next year at Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston...
...Physical Review last week, Dr. Giauque published a report on the viscosity of liquid helium in the absolute zero region. Viscosity is "fluid friction" or degree of stickiness. Even pure water has some viscosity. But about 2° above absolute zero, liquid helium has so little stickiness that - as several cryogenic experimenters have found - "rather phenomenal surface films" will spread over any surface brought in contact with it. These films will, in fact, climb right out of the liquid and ascend to considerable heights against gravity...
...Giauque measured the capillary flow of liquid helium through a channel only one-ten-thousandth of one centimetre wide. He obtained such a low value for the viscosity at one degree above that he concluded there would be no fluid friction whatever at the utter cold of absolute zero...
