...United States would be abandoning its policy of containing aggression. Massive retaliation would signal American determination to destroy the Communist regime in China, even though Russia would be almost forced to enter the war to prevent the defeat of her chief partner. And massive atomic retaliation means total war against a civilian population, with disastrous consequences even in non-Communist world opinion. Non-Communist Asia would surely turn against the West and anti-American feeling in our European allies would rise to new heights...
...Ralph Sturm. Primarily intended for brightening the faint images on X-ray fluoroscope screens, it is based on the image-orthicon tube used in television cameras. The tube scans (in 1,029 "lines" instead of the standard 525) the image and turns it into fluctuations of an electric signal...
Faint Shadows. In an ordinary TV setup this signal would be far too weak to be turned back into an image on the face of the picture tube, but Morgan and Sturm have learned how to amplify it enormously. They can put their apparatus to work watching a fluoroscope in a darkened room; it can see in light ten times too dim for human eyes. The faint shadows may be barely visible, but when they appear on the picture tube, they are bright enough to be studied in full daylight. This is important for doctors who examine patients by fluoroscope...
...decoder that takes over the job. According to C.G.S.. the decoder listens to the dots and dashes and automatically types out not only letters, but words. It adjusts its speed from ten words to 600 words per minute, and memory circuits permit it to "copy behind" the incoming signal, just as a human operator does...
...After a three-month test of trainees in the U.S. Army Signal Corps at Camp Gordon, Ga., the Human Resources Research Office of George Washington University had some good news for backers of educational TV. Most important findings of the test: 1) normal instruction time in one electronics course was cut in half when the course was presented on TV with visual gimmicks, e.g., closeups, cutaway models; 2) TV students remembered what they had learned as well as and often better than, students taught by regular classroom instructors; and 3) men with low I.Q.s benefited most, did far better...
