IT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT!
Dear Editor:
Please accept my thanks, on be-
half of the Library administration,
for the fine help your paper gave
the Library bond issue in the recent
campaign. The excellent coverage
given Proposition B in the various
community papers was of material
advantage in getting our story to
the voters. The fact that the bond
issue was defeated at the polls does
not minimize Our appreciation of
your splendid support.
Sincerely yours,

they happened to be convenient
for laboratory handling. The real
test will come when somebody
works out the optimal conditions
for any of the basic food crops
such as corn or wheat.
His specimens were grown un-
der artificial light far less intense
than full sunlight. An early find
ing was that there was enormous
variation with temperature auc-
tuations. The optimal tempera-
lures differ somewhat for day and
night.
Sun by Day, Growth by Night.
In nature, DR.. Went said, plants
of all kinds spend daylight hours
tapping up sunshine and do al
most all their growing at night.
The actual plants he produced.
he explained, were no larger than
ordinary ones. His test for pho
tosynthetic efficacy was the
amount of solid matter in leaves,
stem and fruits after about two
months compared to the amount
of light received. Actually. the
fruits were smaller. but this prob
ably could be remedied by fur
ther experiments.
DR.. Detlev w. Bronx, president
of Johns Hopkins University, was

Academy, the highest honor in
American science, at the annual
business meeting yesterday.
The academy also awarded three
gold medals last night to one

scientists and admitted 80 Amer
leans to membership. Two foreign
scientists were elected associate
members-Dr. Charles H. Best of
the University of Toronto, CO.
discoverer of inSulin, and DR.. AL
bert Jan Kluyver of the Technical
University of Delft, Holland.
The Henry Draper gold medal
for 1949 was awarded to DR.. Otto
Struve, director of the Yerkes and
Mcdonald observatories of the
University of Chicago, for his con-
tributionS to physical astronomy.
The Daniel Elliot gold medal
was conferred in absentia on DR..
Robert Broom Of the Transvaal
Museum, South Africa. The Mary
Clark Thompson medal was
awarded to DR.. Lauge Koch of
Copenhagen for his contributions
to geology.
DR.. Struve has been one of the
most active observers of star
spectra for the past Is years and
has developed new theories of the
structure of stellar atmospheres.
DR.. Koch has devoted many years
to study of the geology of Green
land. Menrik de Kaufman,
Danish Ambassador, accepted the
medal in his behalf.

clans who staged a brief sit-down

hours of almost continuous nego-
tiations.

can Broadcasting Co. The union
is the independent National AS
sociation of Broadcast Engineers
and Technicians.
Exact terms of the settlement
were not revealed, but Mr.. Mag
glolo said the terms were salts
factory to both sides.
Aside from wages, one of the
main points was the engineers
claim for more authority in pro-
ducing radio shows.

off and on for two hours, blankec
out brief portions of several af-
ternoon serial dramas, including
"Stella Dallas" and "Backstage

A nearly tenfold increase in the
efficiency of the most fundamental
process of life on earth was re-
ported to the National Academy
Of Sciences here today.
BY growing tomato plants under
rigidly controlled day and night
temperatures, light intensities and
air circulation. DR.. F. w. Went
of California Institute of Tech
nology reported, he has achieved
this enormous improvement in
photosynthesis, the mechanism by
which the energy of sunlight is
trapped in green leaves and used
to turn water and carbon dioxide
from the air into sugars and
starches. The latter, in turn, be-
come the food of animal life and,
eventually, coal and oil.
The success of his experiments,
DR.. Went said, makes him quite
skeptical of prophets of doom who
say the earth eventually must run
out of food because of the grow
ing drain on all cultivable land.
I'VE cannot change the wealth
er." he said, "but we can take
plants to the weather they like"
Photosynthesis in nature, he ex-
planned, evidently is very waste
full process. Plants are able to
convert into chemical energy less
than l per cent of the sunlight
which falls upon them. In his
greenhouse experiments he has
raised this as high as 16 per cent
In some exceptional cases.
1t will be different for every
variety of plant, he said, and he
worked with tomatoes because

animation of DR.. Norman Ander-
ss6s. the psychiatrist, NAACP at
atorneys brought to light the fact
, that Corp. White had never been

II became apparent that White, a
Negro married to a White woman
was a victim of discrimination.
