...construction of a 15,000,000-volt x-ray tube and equipment to operate it. Building a tube strong enough to carry that tremendous energy is no great feat. General Electric's Dr. William David Coolidge built one for 900,000 volts. It is now being used to treat cancer in Manhattan's Memorial Hospital. Then there are Caltech's Dr. Charles Christian Lauritsen's for 1,200,000 volts, Carnegie Institution's Dr. Tuve's for 2,000,000. In Berlin last year Drs. F. Lange and A. Brasch sent...

...shaped President Hoover's general policy of relief?a whole battery of credit clubs to be kept swinging in every direction. Out of Governor Meyer's economic experience and wisdom came the figure?$2,000,000,000?of what was needed to make R. F. C. a real treat to the intangibles of this Depression. His ideas and those of Mr. Baruch run along parallel lines. These two and President Dawes are expected to be the three strong and active men on R. F. C.'s directorate...
