...small, costly, natural crystals like Iceland spar. Polaroid's sponsors say that it will do anything expensive crystals will, can be inexpensively manufactured in any size. Actual cost figures will probably not be available until large-scale equipment is set up. Developed by Physicist Edwin H. Land, senior partner of an independent Boston laboratory, Polaroid's synthetic organic crystals are bound in a plastic film of cellulose acetate. The tiny crystals are pulled into parallel alignment by stretching the film. The material polarizes about 99.9% of the transmitted light. Other uses for Physicist Land's discovery: three...

This inventive work goes on at the Uni-versity of Virginia, under direction of Professor Lyndon Frederick Small, organic chemist.

Dr. Eddy tries the substitute drugs on rats, dogs and monkeys. He has found that several morphine substitutes invented by Dr. Small and others are better than morphine because they cause less vomiting and constipation, depress respiration less than does morphine. But "whether any of the substances possess addicting properties...

President Howard Butcher Jr., senior partner in a local brokerage firm, carries on the ancient traditions despite the half-hearted threats of revolt by younger members. Excitement is occasionally provided on the floor by Salt Dome Oil, a mysterious issue which moves as much as 12 points between sales.
