...members." The day before the hearings opened, Kirtley Mather, professor of Geology, who for years has been accused of Communist front activities, announced he had been subpoenaed and said he "would cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the committee." The Post front-paged this under MATHER FACES RED PROBE. Mather must have satisfied the committee, for it did not call him into open session. This meant that at least tacitly, the Jenner committee had cleared a man widely accused of being a Communist. The Post did not consider this newsworthy enough to print...
...crime commission was created last July and includes on its board two senators and three representatives. The commission, with $10,000 for the probe, has sweeping powers to summon witnesses and must report to the legislature by next March...
...nuclear theories must be developed to explain Hofstadter's discoveries. But he looks forward to probing still deeper into the atom. He is building a 25-ton magnet for a new eyepiece and plans a still bigger one. He and his assistants are experimenting with the university's new accelerator that should soon be splitting electrons at the highest speed ever reached: 186,000 miles a second, only a fraction slower than the speed of light. With his new microscope, which will put the atomic nucleus in even sharper focus, Hofstadter may well probe to the innermost limits...
Unnoticeable. It was understandable that the gossips had overlooked slim, personable Group Captain Peter Wooldridge Townsend, D.S.O., D.F.C., even though his picture had been appearing in the papers alongside Margaret for years. The gossip columnists who had long sought to probe the secrets of the princess' heart simply forgot the Holmesian precept that the most easily overlooked clue is often the most obvious one. As a royal equerry and deputy master of King George VI's household (appointed in 1944 when Margaret was only 14), he had the constant duty of accompanying the royal family...
...Britain's right to be in the zone, there is no doubt. Although torn up by the Egyptians in 1951, the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 does not expire until 1956. It might prove more interesting to probe into America's right to occupy the Panama Canal Zone. The State Department's 18-year-belated $25 million compensation to Colombia was surely an admission of Theodore Roosevelt's high-handed methods earlier in the century...
