There is now experimental evidence for selectivity between the amino acid and the nucleic acid base which is the beginning of the chemical translation process from one linear system to the other. The linear system of the nucleic acid is, of course, an excellent place to store the information, whereas the linear system of the polypeptide, on the other hand, is the versatile system which can perform many different types of reactions but is unable to store information reliably. The experiments the author has described here may represent the beginning of the method of coupling of those two essential qualities which are required for the generation and evolution of a living organism.

Article narrates the centennial celebration of the Battle of Washita. The battle resulted in the Peace Chief Black Kettle and his wife being killed by soldiers of the 7th US Cavalry as the attempted to cross the river. The battle ground is now a National Historic Site.

The total cross sections for resonant charge exchange have been measured as a function of energy in the range from 10 to 500 eV for the Cs{sup +}-Cs, Rb{sup +}-Rb, and K{sup +}-K systems. The agreement with certain data obtained at higher energies for these systems, and with theoretical cross sections of Smirnov is satisfactory.

A progress report is presented on the activities at LRL in connection with electron-ring accelerators. A two-stage compressor unit (employing only low-intensity beams) has been built, and operated with a 4-MeV 100-mA linac as an injector. Electron rings have been formed and compressed from 20 cm radius to 7 cm radius. A three-stage compression unit has been constructed and is now under test with the high intensity (200 A) 3.3-MeV beam of the Astron injector. The apparatus is described. Design work on a magnetic expansion unit is reported.

Electrons were injected from a 3.3-MeV 300-A accelerator into a circular orbit in a pulsed magnetic field. Trapped ring currents of 150 A (4 x 10{sup 12} electrons) were magnetically compressed from 19 cm to 3.5 cm radii and simultaneously accelerated from 3.3 MeV to 18 MeV in energy. The rms dimensions of the cross section of the ring after compression were a = 2.3 {+-} 0.2 mm radially and b = 1.6 {+-} 0.2 mm axially. The lifetime of the ring was typically 5.5 msec, and was determined by the decay of the magnetic field after compression. This lifetime could be decreased by the addition of hydrogen gas, indicating the focusing effect of the trapped positive ions.

Article chronicles Sam Houston's attempts to lobby Congress for better rations and resources for the Cherokee people after their relocation during President Andrew Jackson's administration. Houston was a long time friend of the tribe and was angered by the conditions in which they lived during this time.

Article outlines the many historical landmarks the rest alongside the Illinois River in Oklahoma.

Article memorializes Brevet Major Louis McLane Hamilton, who died leading troops of the 7th Cavalry troops against the Cheyenne during the Battle of the Washita River. He was the grandson of founding father Alexander Hamilton. The article includes a letter to Hamilton's mother from George A. Custer regarding how courageous and valiant her son was during while serving in the armed forces.
