MEETINGS AND SPEECHES

PROFESSORS IVOR ROBINSON and ISTVAN OZSVATH traveled to New York to spend May 22 at the third planning session on the Fourth Texas Sym­posium on Relativistic Astrophysics (Are you still with us, readers?) to be held at the Center next December 16. When this inter-

I

national group met here in 1963, there was much discussion of quasars (nearly unbelievable sky objects--powerful centers of energy, comparing to three trillion suns, that seemed to be billions of light years from Earth and speeding away further at 30,000 miles a second). This December, immediately after a welcome by Stanley Marcus, the group will embark upon the subject of "pulsars" (pulsating light sources still undefined).

DR. JOHN JAGGER gave a talk en­titled "The Biological Revolution" in the Summer School of Christian Living at the First Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth on June 26.

JOE NATION, Geosciences Division, appeared on the Career Day program at Highland Park High School May 1. Following the 8 a.m. breakfast with other Career Day counselors, he met with graduating students interested in oceanography for an hour's dis­cussion of the requirements and opportunities in the field.

VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. TRIOLO spoke to a gathering of El Centro Junior College students at a din­ner meeting May 14 in the ballroom of the Hilton Inn, Dallas. His subject: "Brain Power and Regional Prosperity."

DR. ELLIOTT KREFETZ served as a consultant to students interested in a career in mathematics at Richardson High School's Career Conference this spring.

DR. C. GIRVIN HARKINS presented a paper at the Southwest Catalysis Society's First Annual Spring Symposium, Rice University, April 19. The title of his paper was "Relation of the Catalytic Activity of MgO to Its Electron Energy States."

MEETINGS AND SPEECHES

DR. FRANCIS S. JOHNSON, Head, At­mospheric & Space Sciences Divi­sion, traveled to Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California, in early May to attend a meeting of the Lunar and Planetary Missions Board of NASA. He also chaired a meeting of the Venus Panel of that body.

In mid-May he went on to Tokyo to present papers at the COSPAR (Committee on Space Research of the International Council of Scientific Unions) 11th Plenary Meeting (see ADVANCE for May). Some 430 space scientists from 30 countries gathered for this meet­ing.

Later in Tokyo he attended a meet­ing of the Executive Committee of IAGA (International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy) and held a meeting of Working Group 9 on Basic Structure of the Upper Atmosphere of the Inter-Union Commission on Solar Terrestrial Physics.

At the end of May he went to Chicago to preside at a meeting of the Rocket Research Committee of the National Academy of Sciences.

On June 18 Dr. Johnson delivered a talk before the American Astro­nautical Society's regional meet­ing in Irving on the atmosphere of Venus. He spoke from informa­tion gained from Mariner 5, the Soviet planetary probe Venera 4, and recent ground-based measure­ments concerning Venus. While data from the various,sources generally complement one another, several serious discrepancies exist that will require clarification. "On the whole, we now know more about the atmosphere of Venus than that of any other planet, excepting only the Earth," said Dr. Johnson. "The Soviet measurements, when com­pared to the American planetary program, show how our space pro­gram is lagging. Those of us interested in planetary science are faced with the prospect of seeing most of the major new dis­coveries come from the Soviet pro­gram during the next five or ten years," he continued.

He proves nothing who proves too much.
