...Good evening again to the all-forgetting and forgotten men, the American fighting men of the South Pacific. The Zero Hour to the rescue once again, taking up a few vacant moments you may have to kill. And since this is Monday and therefore Old Timers' night, these few moments will be filled with music for you Old Timers who perhaps like another kind of music. So here's our beginning number tonight. It is the Waltz King, Wayne King...
Still other copies of TIME are part of the vital supplies that unarmed, unescorted transport planes carry across Zero-infested Burma and over 17,000-ft. Himalayan passes to Kunming in China. These copies vault the top of the world and pass over "the worst stretch of country covered by any of the world's farflung war transport operations" to reach General Claire Chennault and his airmen. And every week 50 more copies reach key Chinese leaders via TIME Correspondent Teddy White in Chungking...
...kill 92% to 100% of all cases. But Manhattan's Dr. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander loses only 25% of her patients. Dr. Alexander's lifesaving treatment consists of a special serum and sulfadiazine. Said she last week: "If treatment were always prompt, mortality could be brought near the zero mark...
Scientists have debated such possibilities for nearly a hundred years. The great physicist Helmholtz believed that life was brought to the earth by meteorites.* Laboratory workers have known for some time that bacteria and other living cells can survive extreme cold close to absolute zero ( - 273.18 C.), the supposed temperature of interplanetary space. The University of California's Professor Charles B. Lipman once claimed that he had actually found living bacteria locked in meteorites millions of years...
Item: the reaction must occur at 150° below zero, the next processing at 150° above. This type of process, which may be successful in a test tube, becomes fantastically difficult in a skyscraper-size plant. Butyl production is still negligible. The U.S. can still use Du Pont's neoprene (production: 49,000 tons yearly) for tubes. But the military long ago grabbed the lion's share of that. This left, as the only tube alternative, Buna S, mixed with the priceless crude rubber from the shrinking stockpile. On this basis the U.S. can afford few tubes...
