摘要:

FUNDAMENTAL reorganization of the nation's military reserves has been urged in a report entitled “Manpower Resources for National Security” which was prepared for the Office of Defense Mobilization by its Committee of Resources for National Security under the chairmanship of Lawrence A. Appley, president of the American Management Association. The Appley Committee study, conducted in response to a request made on August 1, 1953, by President Eisenhower, was concerned with “the availability of manpower simultaneously to operate a military training program, to supply military personnel for active service, and to meet the needs of the civilian economy”. The report was submitted to the White House on January 6th by ODM Director Arthur S. Fleming together with proposals which were to have been formulated, at the President's request, into a definite program for presentation to the National Security Council not later than April 1st.

摘要:

Most American physicists have great zest for the study of physical phenomena but complete apathy toward the problems involved in the development of a convenient system of units for general use in describing the phenomena. This attitude is understandable and even defensible, since the phenomena themselves and their interpretation are the subjects of prime importance, whereas the units used in quantitative description are of secondary importance. For example, if some nuclear physicist, for reasons of his own, chooses to publish his results in a table of nuclear properties with masses expressed in long tons, cross sections in acres, and spins in Btus˙hrs, these properties are stated definitely and can be expressed without serious difficulty in more conventional units for comparison with the results of other investigators; however, it is admittedly a matter of convenience for all nuclear physicists to employ certain standard units. We all recognize that the establishment of a convenient set of units for general use is desirable but most of us are so preoccupied with our own immediate research interests that we have little time or energy to devote to the matter.

摘要:

Early in the Spring of 1934 at Fort Monmouth, N. J., four physicists and a handful of engineers, with a few military personnel, stood in the cold and watched the breaking of ground for a modest structure (the present Squier Laboratory) to be erected in the interest of military insurance should war ever threaten again. After the ceremony the engineers of the group returned to their World War I wooden shacks, to again tackle problems of military communications, while the physicists returned to their worries over submarine detection and the prognostication that someday aerial bombers would carry substantial explosives aloft and drop them on military targets. Months later the new building was occupied, partially completed, and never finished.
