" A simple method is the practical path to precision"

Waynesburg College, which suffered a disastrous fire in its chemistry department, was selected by the Conference Committee.

This is the most practical pH meter ever made

Foreign Visitors

A growing number of foreign scientists are attending and participating in the Pittsburgh Conference, E . S. Hodge, Mellon Institute, Conference Chairman, stated. Among those who had technical papers were: Paul Hersch, Arthur D . Little Research Institute of Scotland; Allan Daniellson of Sweden; Boris Vodar, C.N.R.S., France; J. A. A. Ketelaar, University of Amsterdam, Holland; and J. E. Lovelock, National Institute for Medical Research, England. Other foreign visitors included Ricardo Monocelli of Italy, M. A. Wahid of Pakistan, and Cecil Wilson of Ireland.

COMPAX is so simple, so extremely easy to use, that you'll wonder why all pH meters aren't made this way. . T h e ingenious COMPAX design employs ultra-modern components to save space, maintenance and your operating time. You use one control, read from a dial, work with handy Coleman Electrodes. Precision is 0.02 pH. Make no mistake . . . this is not a short-cut portable. COMPAX'S high efficiency and low cost (only $200.00) are the result of modern engineering for mass production.

Launching of the first Sputnik by the Soviets greatly -surprised mest Americans. Yet the fact t h a t the Soviets were progressing rapidly in this field of science was available to all who eared to read Soviet scientific journals, said John A. Thompson, Louisiana State University, conference dinner speaker. The lack of interest in foreign languages on the p a r t of Americans effectively closes to us developments in many areas. Interest on the p a r t of nationals of other countries, and Russia in particular, in learning English, gives them ready access to all significant data published in English. Such a deficiency on our part not only creates a language barrier which has served to hamper our scientific progress b u t has helped bring about the situation where "the United States has never lost a war and never won a peace."
