Rhyne (TIME, May 5) in his last official talk, "the people of the world will demand and get a worldwide judicial system." Law Day, the U.S.'s answer to Russia's May 1 show of military might, gained firm precedent when the board of governors decided to observe it again next year. Thomas E.

The idea that such theories, normally discussed in detail in junior-year college chemistry, might be presented in films belongs to Dr. Thomas Jones of the National Science Foundation, who conceived the project as a Brussels Fair exhibit. But "the U.S. Government is very poor," Chemist Eyring observes pointedly, and there was no federal financing to be had. Eventually 83-year-old Philanthropist Alfred P. Sloan Jr. heard of Jones's plan, and although the fair deadline had passed, agreed to development...
