Rooted in Concrete. Next morning, they did, and agreed to expand the coalition. At a meeting the next afternoon (again at 2031 Locust), Duff, Taft and Stassen sat down with Connecticut's national committeeman, Harold Mitchell (representing favorite son Ray Baldwin), and Kim Sigler, governor of Michigan, leader of the Vandenberg forces. California's Earl Warren was represented by a close friend, Preston Hotchkiss. They figured that the coalition could count on 630 votes-more than enough to stop Dewey...
...whole galaxy of cosmic ray experts gathered last week at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, to honor Nobel Prizeman Dr. Robert A. Millikan, 80, principal discoverer and namer of cosmic rays. Dr. Millikan, who was spry enough last summer to travel by station wagon from Texas to Canada observing cosmic rays, described the gathering as "a testimonial to my longevity and a kind of celebration of my passage through the portal leading into second childhood...
...experts are not sure what particle (or particles) causes this great commotion. Some think the primary rays are electrons which must be moving (to have so much energy) at almost the speed of light. But Dr. Bruno Rossi of M.I.T. presented a paper at last week's meeting claiming that there are practically no electrons or photons (high energy electromagnetic waves) among the primary radiations. They are observed in the showers along with other particles, but Rossi believes that they are formed when the primary ray (whatever it is) hits the atmosphere...

...Joseph G. Hamilton of the University of California tried to be reassuring, too. There is no reason to worry about atomic bombs making men & women sterile, they said: a dose that would sterilize would be enough to kill. Anyhow, most damage from atomic bombs comes not from some mysterious ray but from ordinary blast (like high-explosive bombs) and burns (like fire-bombs). An enemy would probably blast and burn, rather than make whole cities radioactive. It would be "inconvenient" to evacuate parts of cities, but Geiger countermen would be around to spot safe areas...
