Last week the metallurgical journal Metal Progress commented on the researches of Professor Daniel Hanson of England's University of Birmingham, who had divided creep into four stages. These are elastic stretch (like rubber); plastic flow (like mud); slower plastic flow; approach to fracture. Professor Hanson's theory of fracture is that the metal atoms, under continuing mechanical stress plus their own agitation due to heat, are moved one by one to new positions so that the whole structure is weakened. When enough atoms are thus individually moved, the metal breaks...

...Tell Men. Since Munich there has been a phenomenal increase in newspaper columnage about airplanes, big guns, gas masks, defense problems, industrial mobilization.

...Vice President and Chief Engineer Oscar Byron Hanson appeared last month before the FCC monopoly investigators, read a 91-page statement. In his lapel he wore a black spherical button marked with the number 8 in white.

Last man to wear it on the stand was NBC's Vice President William S. Hedges. When it appeared in his lapel, FCCuriosity boiled over. Commissioner...
...Hanson's theory was a simple reductio ad absurdum with which neither publishers, Guild nor common practice agree. The Act sets 44 hours as the maximum work week, requires overtime payment at one and one-half times the regular salary rate. But out-of-town assignments are part of the normal duties of many a reporter, and while some Guild contracts require twelve hours' pay for each day away from home, any newshawk who tried to collect 24 hours on the same basis would soon be laughed...
