Letter from Ira J. Allen to Truett Latimer discussing concerns regarding the former's opinions on Committee Substitute Bill, Texas Senate Bill #41.

The electrical resistivities of polycrystalline samples of La, Pr, Nd, and Sm are reported in the temperature range 1.3 to 300 deg K. La exhibits a superconducting transition at 5.8 deg K. The curve for Pr has slope changes at 61 and 95 deg K. The Nd curve shows small jumps at 5 and 20 deg K. Sm shows slope changes at 14 and 106 deg K. (auth)

Results are summarized for a survey of methods for predicting fuel element and coolant behavior in sodiumcooled fast reactors under abnormal operating conditions. Circumstances prior to, during, and after meltdown are considered, and the behavior of fuel and coolant during transients is discussed. Reactor excursions, theory of fuel element thermal transients, reactor coolant transients in single and two-phase flows, and specific topics such as two-phase flow patterns, two-phase pressure drop, and transient voids in boiling coolant reactors are also treated. Some applicable mathematical treatments are given along with an annotated bibliography. (D.L.C.)

Letter from Mrs. Lamar S. Clark to Truett Latimer discussing opposition to HJR 4 on behalf of the Texas Conference Women Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church.

Both in magnetohydrodynamic shocks and in accelerated partially ionized gas flow across a magnetic field, space charge separation occurs that establishes very large electric fields in the direction of motion. The width of the current layers associated with the acceleration is never less than the electron Larmor radius with no collisions and is broadened by electron collisions to a width solely determined by the effective resistivity. The electrons gain an energy regardless of collisions equal to the electric potential difference across the layer. This potential corresponds to the change in kinetic energy of mass motion per ion. For slightly ionized gases, the additional stress of neutral ion collisions within the layer can make the electric potential and hence gain in electron energy very large for only modest changes in mass velocity. Hence ionization may occur when the change in kinetic energy of the ions is small compared to the ionization potential.

Portrait of the 6 Dallas Fire class members from December 1960 to March 1961 posing in front of a building in two rows. All of the recruits are wearing dark-colored uniforms including slacks and double-breasted jackets with badges over the left breast. A board on the ground in front of them identifies the class.

Letter from Roy L. Duke to Truett Latimer opposing House Bill 363 and 413, the bill that would allow a nine-man jury and the bill that would prohibit the taking of statements from an injured person by the adverse party for fifteen days, respectively.

Letter from Lawrence Epley to Truett Latimer discussing the proposed higher taxation on oil and gas. Mr. Epley is opposed to this and says the oil and gas business is already saturated by taxation.

"Adlam and Allen and Davis, Lust, and Schluter have studied nonlinear plane-waves, propagating normal to the magnetic field, in a cold plasma. One solution of particular interest is a solitary wave, or single pulse. We present a method for solving the analogous problem for a plasma with finite temperature, in the limiting case where the amplitude of the wave is small and where, consequently, the width of the waver is very large."

A new model of the higher symmetry of elementary particles is introduced ln which the eight known baryons are treated as a supermultiplet, degenerate in the limit of unitary symmetry but split into isotopic spin multiplets by a symmetry-breaking term. The symmetry violation is sscribed phenomenologically to the mass differences. The baryons correspond to an eight-dimensional irreducible representation of the unitary group. The pion and K meson fit into a similar set of eight particles along with a predicted pseudoscalar meson X/sup o/ having I = 0. A ninth vector meson coupled to the baryon current can be accomodated natarally in the scheme. It is predicted that the eight baryons should all have the same spin and parity and that pseudoscalar and vector mesons should form octets with possible additional singlets. The mathematics of the unitary group is described by considering three fictitious leptons, nu , e/sup -/ , and mu /sup -/, which may throw light on the structure of weak interactions. (D. L.C.)
