In the radiolysis of palmitic acid only the first two are found among the gaseous products and n-pentadecane is 1 Presented before the Division of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry of the American Chemical Society at the 112th Meeting, New York City, September 17, 1947. 2 Work in radiation chemistry at the University of Notre Dame is assisted by the Office of Naval Research of the United States Navy Department under Contract N6ori 166 T.O.II. the principal liquid product.…”

“…However, the CH, CH2, and CH3 groups, which give rise to the aliphatic absorptions, are expected to be sparse owing to the presence of uranium and regardless of the origin of the asphaltite. Most of the energy produced by the decay of uranium is given off by alpha particles, and it has been shown that alpha-particle bombardment of organic sub- stances causes dehydrogenation and loss of light hydrocarbons (Sheppard and Whitehead, 1946;Breger, 1948).

“…The present view of the fundamental processes of radiation chemistry was most clearly formulated by Eyring, Hirschfelder, and Taylor (27) (EHT) who pointed out a twofold nature of primary physical effects produced in radiation chemistry. A fact generally appreciated for a great many years is that high-energy' 7 See ref. (36), p. 85. s These experiments began with studies of the production of ozone (45).…”

“…The cyclotron was employed as a source of radiation in radiation chemistry for the first time during the years of World War II. At that time, on a non-secret enterprise beginning in 1943, a group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology employed deuterons from a cyclotron in studies of the radiation chemistry of fatty acids (7). A little earlier, the Radiation Chemistry Sections 1!A 2-mv.…”

He indicates that the important reaction is X-+ OH ->X + OH- (9) Depending on the redox potential of the reaction and the concentration of X the steady-state concentration of OH is reduced in such a way as to prevent the backreaction sequence (7), (8) and to increase the yield of hydrogen and accompanying products.…”

Education seems always to be in the midst of a crisis-or even simultaneously in several. One of those in which it is involved just now does nothappily-particularly concern science education. But although the heat has been generated in the social and political areas there is no telling when the fever will spread to others. It came to a head in the recent "Pasadena incident," the details of which need not be recounted. A superintendent was brought in to reorganize and improve the school system. He proved too "progressive" for his constituency; the principal complaint was that his innovations ignored the rights of the home and prepared pupils for a life of social regimentation rather than one of intelligent individualism. Bloodhounds thought they detected a vague scent of communism. Public furor and the failure of a bond issue to implement the new program led to the superintendent's resignation. The wild debates brought out the clear issue: to what extent is the younger generation to be subject to the "educational experts"; what, if anything, shall the home and the rest of society have to say about educational policies, the curriculum, etc.? This is not a new issue, by any means.The question is always being asked: "Who tells the teacher what to teach?" The school and the home are not always at peace, although society must of necessity charge the school with the responsibility for education of the child.
