摘要:

AN Office of Strategic Information has been created in the Department of Commerce in order to “provide a central location within the government which will work with the business community in voluntary efforts to prevent unclassified strategic data from being made available to those foreign nations which might use such data in a manner harmful to the defense interests of the United States”. According to an announcement made on November 5th by Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks, the office was established at the direction of the President on the recommendation of the National Security Council.

摘要:

THE National Bureau of Standards faced a crisis in the spring of 1953 as a result of a controversy over the Bureau's position on certain types of battery additives. At the height of the tense situation, Secretary Weeks decided to attempt to resolve the controversy by seeking the advice of an Ad Hoc Committee composed of representatives of the professional scientific and engineering societies. L. A. DuBridge was appointed the American Institute of Physics representative of this group, which popularly came to be called the Kelly Committee since M. J. Kelly of the Bell Telephone Laboratories was its chairman. The committee was singularly effective in resolving the crisis through a series of actions and through recommendations contained in its final report of October 15, 1953. For example, its work in no small measure led to the reinstatement of A. V. Astin as Director of the Bureau.

摘要:

We are here to honor the memory of Enrico Fermi, Charles H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Physics at this University during the last decade. I shall try to express the sentiments of his associates here in the Institute for Nuclear Studies. Actually, the Institute ishisInstitute, for he was its outstanding source of intellectual stimulation. It was Enrico who attended every seminar and with incredible brilliance critically assayed every new idea or discovery. It was Enrico who arrived first in the morning and left last at night, filling each day with his outpouring of mental and physical energy. It was Enrico's presence and calm judgment, and the enormous respect we had for him, which made it impossible to magnify, or even mention, any small differences among us, such as can arise in any closely associated group. It was at Enrico's personal and urgent request that I took on the chore of directing the Institute in its routine affairs.

摘要:

The award of the 1949 Nobel Prize for physics to Dr. Hideki Yukawa, professor of Kyoto University, was a matter of considerable importance to Japan. This news was received with tremendous joy by the Japanese and encouraged the scientists in Japan to continue their researches in spite of the economic condition of postwar Japan.
