...chief of AFOAT-1, Northrup built a detective force that correlated data from delicate seismographs and from patrol weather planes scooping up radioactive dust over the Pacific (prevailing winds carried Russian bomb particles eastward) for rapid analysis and report. Last week, at award time, Doyle Northrup (who holds a highly select, open-salary PL 313 civil service rating) was in Geneva as a delegate to the three-power conferences on nuclear detection. In his stead, wife Sybil went to the White House, came home with a clearer understanding of why, since 1948, Cloak and Geiger Man Northrup has occasionally been...
...defection was welcomed not only for the information he brought, but as a badly needed shot in the arm for Western "spook" organizations, which are one of Berlin's major industries. They have had a bad year. The chief of a West Berlin refugee camp for Russian and Polish defectors last month was arrested and reportedly confessed that he had been working for the Communists since spring. The potent Investigating Committee of Free Jurists, whose network of spies in East Germany helps make life miserable for the Red rulers of that unhappy state, suffered a series of body blows...
American scientists who have seen the aids call them excellent. Says Harvard's famed Physicist Gerald Holton: "Insofar as this material is new, it is striking, but it also represents another thing: that the Russians have expended precious technical thought on scientific educational equipment." The U.S. makes nothing like the classroom wave-motion machine, and an American-made projector that costs Harvard $300 serves the purpose no better than a Russian model that costs $24.50 (plus 40% duty) delivered in New York. Adds Dr. Albert Navez, whose high school program in Newton, Mass, last year turned out both winners...
Importer for the gadgets is Cambridge Businessman Paul Grindle, whose Ealing Corp. sells foreign educational equipment to the U.S. market. Grindle saw some of the machines on the cover of a Russian physics magazine, went to Moscow and began negotiations. The gadgets are good, says Grindle, because they are designed by clever engineers specifically for teaching, cheap because they are already in mass production for Russian schools...
Ever since Soviet Astronomer Nikolai A. Kozyrev reported that he had seen a volcano-like eruption on the moon early in November, non-Russian astronomers have been waiting to see his evidence. Last week they got it: a long, detailed report in Sky and Telescope, published at Harvard College Observatory...
