? Americas Men of Science
pr. V. K. Zworykin---Speeds Television By Perfecting Electrical Human Eye
This is the second of Q series Of 12 articles introducing you to Americas foremost scientists.
BY WATSON DAVIS Director, Science Service Written for NEA Service

I WkIeyGn LOE NEA 6CtVACC
 To Dr. V. K. Zworykin, Russian born master of electrons, we owe, more than to any other person, tele- vision as 1t is today. , Before the depression television got 6 false start, using the older mechanical methods. A dozen or 60 television broadcastings went on the air with sight and sound, but the quality was not sufficiently good to interest the public. The inc fant industry seemed to be stymied by the technical limitation of the mechanical impossibility of scanning a scene or reproducing an image speedily enough.
 Then along came Zworykin with electronic television. He invented the iconoscope Literally image observ- er'D which is the closest artificial imitation of the human eye yet de- vised.
 The iconoScope has no scanning disk or other moving parts. The only thing about 1t that moves is Q thin stream of electrons, a cath ode ray, played back and forth across sensitive artificial ''retina" by changes in magnetic field. TELEvISION IS
 READY NOW
 Dr. zworykin also invented the kinescope, or receiving tube of tele- vision. In this apparatus, the tele- vision current rceates a stream of electrons varying in strength with the fluctuations in the current. Pull ed by @ set of magnets correspond ing to those in the iconoscope, the electron stream plays rapidly back and forth across the screen which shines when the electrons lombard 1t, thus reproducing the original tele- vised scene.
 Dozens of others have developed various aspects of television so that 1t is 6 perfected accomplishment ready for public usage. But Dr. Zworykin is one of the greatest pioneers.
 From his laboratories at the RCA Manufacturing Company, Camden, N. J., has come new electronic ap- paratus, the electron microscope, which allows the scientist to look further into the depths of living and non-living matter. This new super er-microscope can see particles and germs hitherto invisible. It mag nifies 25,000 ot30000 times directly and pictures of 100000 diameters magnification can be made.
 PUTS ELECTIONS
 TO WORK
 Educated as an electrical engineer in the Russia of the czars, Vladimar Kosma Zworykin came to America shortly after the World War. For 10 years he was a Westinghouse re- search engineer and in 1930 he be- came director of RCA,s famous elec- tronic research laboratory.
 Now, at the age of 50, Dr. zwory- kin is one of the worlds leading ex- ponents of putting to useful tasks those little particles of electricity and fragments of the atoms that are called electrons.

 BETTER
 THAN FICTION
 It's a nice scene - different from the hackneyed routine where the hero warbles a verse, then sits in glassy-eyed and grinning catalepsy while the heroine has a turn at the tune. Both Colrnan and Miss Lee are fair pianists--he studied as a boy and she at school in England so even the rehearsals are fun to listen to. :
 The true story behind the scene is better than the movie version audiences will see. It happened like this: When writers John Van Druten and Arnold Belgard reached the point in their Caroline" script where the stars were to play a sem timental love scene, they were stumped. What kind of setting could they use that hadn't been filmed a thousand times before?
 They wrote four different ver- sions, didn't much like any of them, and neither did Director Lewis Milestone. Finally Van Druten threw up his hands, said in disgust, "Well, I don't know anything else to do. We've done everything ex- cept say it with music" 't BLOND INSPIRATION

 kitty Foyle", Christopher Mor- ley's smash best-seller called the most daring novel over written by a man about woman, comes to the Strand screen tomorrow after noon as an even more sensational picture.
 Starring Ginger Rogers as Kitty Foyle, the role that won her the 1941 Academy Award, with hand picked cast featuring Dennis Nor gan and James Craig, kitty Foyle," is definitely a must see" for every member of the family.
 The action begins in the year of the depression, with Kitty leaving secretarial school to get job with a dilettante society man who Is starting new magazine. The magazine is short lived, but the friendship between the two ripens into romance and then into mar riage-which too is short lived, for Kitty realizes 1t can never be suc- cessful under her husbands family influence and dictation.
 As well as affording Miss Rogers a brilliant opportunity to display her dramatic talents, the film gives Morgan and Craig their finest roles.
 Others in the cast include Ed uardo Ciannelli, Ernest Cossart and Gladys Cooper.
