...says Dr. Max Renner of the University of Munich, has a built-in time sense that ticks away, independent of all "environmental factors." To prove his point, Dr. Renner completed this week the first phase of an elaborate experiment in bee psychology...
...experiment was once difficult because ocean-going ships cannot move fast enough to carry bees a sufficient distance between daily feeding periods. Modern airliners can. This year Von Frisch's associates, Dr. Max Renner and Dr. Werner Loher, prepared for the great experiment. With the help of Dr. Theodore C. Schneirla of New York's American Museum of Natural History (Dr. Schneirla is an ant man, but he doubles in bees), they built two identical sunless bee-testing rooms: one in Paris, one in New York. Then they trained a hive of bees in Paris to feed from...
Some 4,365,000 Austrians voted this week for a new President to succeed the late Dr. Karl Renner.

The party is the direct descendant of Dollfuss' and Schuschnigg's Christian Socialists, though it now favors (still a little halfheartedly) nationalization of key industries and has been purged (at least officially) of fascists. Despite public political friendship, Figl does not get on well with Renner. Unlike Socialist Renner, who comes from a bourgeois family but has lived it down, Figl comes from peasant stock and tries to live up to it. He has a peasant's stubborn strength and stubborn limitations, along...
