...reason Japan is attractive to foreign scholars: its inexpensiveness. Crowed the institute: "Favored by special steam ship rates and lower-cost accommodation, students can complete two to five years of graduate work in Tokyo at a fraction of the cost of such schooling in England or the United States." Tuition at the Government-financed Imperial Universities, whose entrance examinations are too steep for most foreign scholars, is dirt cheap: the equivalent of 27 U. S. dollars. Other universities are more expensive. What the Institute neglected to mention is that living by U. S. standards costs approximately $1,800 a year...
Last week this team began to get production. Their first deal: an immediate expansion of capacity in the controversial domain of TVA, which sought and got a new hydro plant (90,000 kilowatts) and a new steam plant (120,000 kilowatts), plus transmission facilities and generators, all to cost $65.000,000.

...fall compress natural gas under 600 pounds of pressure, liquefy it by cooling at 250° F. below zero, pour it into insulated sphericals. In the three tanks, Utilitarian Gallagher will have the liquid equivalent of 150,000,000 cubic feet, compressed to 1/600 its gaseous volume. Heated by steam, the liquid will again vaporize and go out through East Ohio's mains next winter...
...clear up any implication that the Navy had not been frank with Congress, the Senate Naval Affairs Committee last week had up Secretary Charles Edison. Admiral Harold Raynsford Stark, Chief of Operations, had lately declared his unremitting faith in the battleship over aircraft, urged Congress to steam ahead with battleship construction. But Secretary Edison had announced last fortnight that aircraft had a "temporary advantage over ships," had said the Navy would have to revise its ship designs.
