The main speeches will be of eight and ten minute duration, while five minutes will be allotted each side for the purpose of refutation...
...Swedish Royal Academy of Science awarded its 1936 Nobel Prize for Chemistry to a profound student of molecular structure, Professor Peter Joseph Wilhelm Debye, 52, of Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. The Prize for Physics was divided between a pioneer cosmic ray researcher, Professor Victor Franz Hess, 53, of Austria's Innsbruck University, and 31-year-old Professor Carl David Anderson of California Institute of Technology, discoverer of a fundamental particle of matter, the positive electron. Prizeman Debye will receive about $40,000, Prizemen Anderson & Hess each half that...
...Hess was the first man to see clearly that the cosmic rays were cosmic-that is, that they did not come from the earth or the atmosphere. Enthusiastic Austrians once called this mysterious radiation "Hess Rays," just as an enthusiastic U. S. scientist later called them "Millikan Rays." Cosmic rays, as almost everyone now knows, bombard Earth continuously from every direction in the sky. No one knew this when the 20th Century opened. About that time it was observed that some sort of radiation from somewhere was constantly ionizing the air in electroscopes. Some theorists thought the source was radioactive...
...still on the job, Dr. Hess aimed his recorders at the exploding star Nova Hercules (TIME, Dec. 31, 1934) to see whether, as some cosmologists had suggested, such stellar blow-ups could be a source of cosmic rays. He did detect a slight increase in cosmic ray intensity from the direction of the nova, but too small to be of definite significance...
Four Nazi Years. As usual the Party Congress was not opened by Leader Hitler who sat in the audience, but by his apple-cheeked deputy leader Rudolf Hess. As usual the Jew-baiting Nürnberg Nazi Boss, brutal Julius Streicher, Governor of Franconia, glad-handed the delegates. And as usual the annual Proclamation-in effect a State of the Nation speech-written by Adolf Hitler was delivered by Adolf Wagner, Munich Nazi Leader, a true Teuton orator whose rasping pugnacious voice sounds almost exactly like Der Führer...
