The White Paper on Palestine, issued by the British Government in May 1939, adumbrated future British policy in Palestine at a time when all members of the Cabinet, including Chamberlain, had accepted the inevitability of war. Yet, while they were concerting measures for war on a global scale, the Middle Eastern theatre was of low military priority, and appeasement remained the order of the day, with the White Paper as its principal instrument. The White Paper severely restricted Jewish immigration into Palestine for the next five years and amde further, subsequent immigration dependent upon Arab consent. Britain also promised to set up an independent Palestinian State within the next ten years, if this should prove feasible.

This paper is the first of a number of position papers for the workshop “Towards Criteria of Sustainability and Social Meaningfulness in Development“

In considering the mathematics program for elementary children, it is important for teachers to examine not only mathematical ideas but also the contexts within which such ideas are used. This usually means an examination of visual aids or tools of learning, since instruction in elementary grades depends upon the concrete to explain the abstract. With this in mind, one such tool that deserves special attention is graph, or squared, paper. Until one looks at the many possible uses of this visual aid, it may be taken for granted, and its applications remain sporadic and disconnected. This article is presented for the purpose of showing that graph paper is an educational device having few peers, especially from the points of view of economy, availability, and ease of use. An ordinary compilation of graph paper uses would be helpful to some degree, but what follows is a sequential development from the primary level through the upper elementary grades.

In the Blood Plasma Corporation of Japan we have tested the blood group of 279, 841 blood samples in the past two years.ABO blood grouping performed on the paper is not only very efficient as a routine work in the blood bank, but also very reliable, as we are able to avoid clerical errors by this method.In addition, we easily detect the errors of the direct method performed on the donor history card or the errors of nurses at the time of blood collection by this indirect method, i. e. back grouping performed on the paper.

WE have recently developed a simple method for quantitative assay of amino-acids on the paper partition chromatogram. The method is in all probability applicable to any class of substance which can be readily located by means of a sensitive colourreaction on paper. Several technical points of general interest have arisen in the course of the work.

adds the component of affordable, local access to information via data banks and communications networks, access that can aid student learning and personal productivity. The trick for campuses in coming years, then, will be to integrate computing into the curriculum in ways that recognize all three dimensions and their interdependence, especially when it comes to the support of instruction and student learning.

A procedure based on an analysis algorithm and practical rules is described for the design of waveguide multiplexer. Simple rules, which enable the designer to quickly find a near-optimum solution in a small number of iteration steps, are given. An example of a 6-channel communications multiplexer, which utilizes narrow-bandpass elliptic function waveguide filters, is also included.

The effective operation of free enterprise in creating the envisioned information service industry is dependent on three accomplishments: 1. The restructuring of our information processing industry to provide a clear separation among costs for computing, communications, and the development of information services. 2. The wide use of multi-access system concepts so that information services may share in the use of computer installations, and so their cost of construction is reasonable. 3. The development of public, message-switched communications services with adaquate provisions for information security.

At the request of Major A. W. Baird, R. E., I herewith forward for presentation to the Royal Society, a report which he has prepared on the Tidal Disturbances caused by the now famous volcanic eruptions which occurred on the 27th and 28th August last year, in the Island of Krakatoa and the Straits of Sunda, between Sumatra and Java. For some years past it has been Major Baird’s special duty, as an officer if the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India, to supervise the sperations for the investigation of tidal phenomena which have been tarried on under the orders of the Government at a number of points an the Indian coast lines from Kurrachee round to Moulmein, and also at Aden. A tidal observatory, containing a self-registering tide- gauge, and all the necessary meteorological instruments, has been established at each of these points; every observatory has a man in charge who tends the instruments, sets the diagrams to true time as received telegraphically from Madras, and submits daily reports to Major Baird. After the occurrence of the eruptions at Krakatoa, Major Baird made a careful examination of the diagrams at the whole of his tidal stations, seventeen in number, and at twelve of them he found more or less distinct evidence of tidal disturbance. In the accompanying report he sets forth this evidence, and gives such further facts as he has been able to collect from information supplied by eye-witnesses of the disturbances on the coasts of Ceylon and at other localities where as yet tidal stations have not been established. He also gives the magnitudes of the “supertidal” waves and the intervals between them; shows by calculation the probable time of the great eruption at Krakatoa; and then deduces the velocities of the waves which reached each station. He furnishes copies, on a much reduced scale, of the original diagrams of the tidal registrations of the 27th and 28th August which were made at each of his own stations; and he also gives a chart of a portion of the Indian Ocean which he has prepared to illustrate the course of the first great supertidal wave.

A comparison between the models of scientific communication and mass communication is made in terms of the basic components in the communication processes. Differences between the two models are emphasized so that the sources of ineffective communication can be identified. Several suggestions are made to bridge the communication gaps between science, technology, and the public.

THE recent communication on this subject by R. Robinson1 has prompted me to record some observations made about two years ago on this subject.

In the paper, “Assembly-Line Balancing by Linear Programming,” that appeared in Operations Research 8, 385–389 (1960), E. H. Bowman presented two linear program formulations for the assembly-line balancing problem. These two formulations are referred to as the First Linear Program and the Second Linear Program, respectively. The following are comments about, and a reformulation of, the First Linear Program.

Several suggestions are included here for the engineer who decides voluntarily to write a technical paper.

As you have opened your columns to Mr. Garnett's valuable paper on “Subject-Indexes to Transactions of Learned Societies,” you will perhaps allow me to make a suggestion in regard to the proposal contained in it. The initial objection to Mr. Garnett's scheme appears to me to be that the work he suggests will really be as large as the original catalogue, and, in fact, the same work in a new order. Even were it possible to get the money (probably little short of 10,000l.), the question would naturally arise whether or no the result was likely to be worth this great outlay. Moreover, the plan proposed by Mr. Garnett would not meet the great difficulty of compilation, which consists in the getting together of papers treating of identical subjects, but written with various titles by different persons. This would make it necessary to employ experts in each subject, and also a general practical editor for the whole, under whose eye all entries must pass. I cannot help thinking, therefore, with Mr. J. B. Bailey (p. 580), that the titles of the papers would have to be generally ignored.

In discussing the papers presented at the symposium Dr. Ernest Carroll Faust of Tulane University, New Orleans, said: “While the scourge to human life from the transmission of disease by insects has been greatly reduced and ameliorated since the beginning of the century, bloodsucking insects are still one of the most important sources of human disease, particularly to non-immune populations. As a recent popular writer has expressed it, the stars may shape your destiny, or a mosquito bite may end your troubles and your dreams. We still have with us at one place or another on this earth malignant malaria, yellow fever, dengue, the trypanosomiases, leishmania infections, the rickettsial diseases, the filariases and other scourges to civilization, just as definitely as they existed two thousand years ago.

In a 1967 publication, D. P. Gaver studied a probabilistic model of a multiprogramming computer system. His results have been utilized recently by a number of authors. However, we have observed that Gaver's results contain inconsistencies. These inconsistencies are discussed in detail and a correction suggested and verified through an independent derivation.
