Acetylene as a basis of synthesis has been the lifelong study of Father Julius A. Nieuwland of Notre Dame University, Nichols Medal winner in chemistry for 1935. Perhaps the most interesting point about these researches, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry points out, is that they were conducted solely for the satisfaction of adding to knowl- edge and that in the hands of others they have formed the basis of a new industry.

Chairman Blanc or the House Mer- chant Marine Committee returned yesterday from an inspection of the Panama Canal and declared it needs more adequate protection.

I think we are very deficlent in Army planes there. “The Ethiopian situation does not enter into the picture, because whether there was any war going on or not, as I see it, we should improve our defense of the canal. “I do not suggest any criticism of the War Department. I think it fully realizes the stiuation and is taking steps to remedy it. But if everything were quiet and no remote war any- where, the condition still would need remedying. “Considerstion should be given to the cost and advisability of estab- lishing new locks in the future,” Bland advised.
