Last week it appeared in the British journal Nature that H. J. Bhabha of Copenhagen's Institute of Theoretical Physics, using the results of Italian cosmic raymen, had spotted what might be negative protons in primary rays from far beyond the Milky Way. When the recorders were tilted 30° westward from the vertical, the number of incoming rays was appreciably diminished. This indicated the presence of negative particles, slanted in the other direction by Earth's magnetic field. These bullets were so powerful that 16 cm. of lead slowed them hardly more than 4 cm. It followed...
...owners like to make public. On the other hand, they are frank in revealing their facilities for treating patients and teaching personnel. Statistics on those activities an American Medical Association committee headed by Stanford University's President Ray Lyman Wilbur fully reported in the A. M. A. Journal last week. Significant excerpts...
Also, Publisher O'Hara had a chance to pay off some rankling old scores, for back of this realignment of Providence papers lay a long and bitter feud. Last March, a Pawtucket city official threw a Journal camera into the flooded Blackstone River. For reasons of their own, Pawtucket politicians had insisted on building the new City Hall on a low-lying lot, and they did not want their location photographed with water creeping over it. Also in March, Walter O'Hara sued the Journal for $1,000,000 for libel because it intimated that he was working...
Aside from political animosity, there is another cogent reason why the Pawtucket denizens have heckled the Journal so insistently. Both Journal and Bulletin oppose Mr. O'Hara's Narragansett track. Not very high in the established social scale of U. S. race tracks, the Narragansett course is nevertheless one of the most lucrative in the land. Into the stout little satchels of its pari-mutuel cashiers are packed hard-earned Rhode Island dollars to the tune of some two million a year. The Star likes to attribute the Journal and Bulletin hostility to the fact that their owners...
Though they would scorn to admit that Mr. O'Hara & associates had them frightened, the Journal and Bulletin by last week had done plenty to fend off the News-Tribune and the Star in a circulation war. Outstanding preparations included amplifying personnel, buying another page of comics for the Bulletin and Hearst International News Service and Universal Service to supplement the A. P.. United Press, and North American Newspaper Alliance Services on both sheets...
