...this trust has never been easy since Rockefeller I put aside its active management in the early part of the century. Though there is plenty of talent in Standard's executive offices high in Rockefeller Center three out of four likely candidates are either nearing the retirement limit or in ill health. They are R. W. Gallagher, 46 years with Standard but now 62 years old; Wallace E. Pratt, aged 57, one of the nation's outstanding geologists; and Orville Harden, perhaps the most brilliant of Standard's board but in ill health...
...patent reform than Professor-Trustbuster Thurman Arnold with all his fulminations about how the U.S. patent system encouraged the Nazis to "strangle" the U.S. war effort. Practical experience with taking the monopoly out of foreign patents during the war should give the U.S. some valuable lessons in how to limit domestic patent monopolies later...
...Jack still likes the floppy, open-collared shirts, breezy sport shoes and pungent phrases picked up in his prizefight days. A prodigious worker, he rarely sleeps more than four hours a night. The Vinson committee did change Jack's ideas about salaries. Said he of the salary-limitation order: ". . . We'll back [this] to the limit. If [President Roosevelt] says no salary at all it will be no salary. . . . There's only one thing we'll be satisfied with-that's winning...
Greater magnification is possible because electron waves are shorter than light waves. Highest magnification requires shortest possible electron waves, hence higher voltage. The portable models sacrifice extreme magnification, but R.C.A. gives 5,000 diameters, G.E. 10,000 (compared to 2,000 useful upper limit in the best microscopes using light waves). Both can be "blown up" photographically to give in effect 100,000 diameters or more. The G.E. instrument, developed by Dr. Simon Ramo and Dr. Charles H. Bachman, has a horizontal system, is 52 inches high, operates on a 110-volt light circuit, The R.C.A. model, only 16 inches...
...during the immediate post-war period. But we feel very strongly that the moderate minimum proposed by Professors Wild, Kohn, and Buell should be made strategically at the last moment, not weakly in advance. Wilson kept his aims but in the crucial Senate battle, failed to compromise; if we limit our demands now, we shall find ourselves unable to make the compromise which unfortunately will be required. The peace after this war must not be lost because of careless tactics on our part. Stanwood Kenyon '43, Richard H. Russell '43, Andrew E. Rice...
