The Coming U.S.-Japan Crisis

T JLelevision viewers in Japan saw an extraordinary news broadcast on the morning of July 2, 1987: nine members of the U.S. Congress were smashing a small Toshiba radio with sledgehammers at a press conference on Capitol Hill. The congressmen were expressing their anger at the Toshiba Ma chine Company of Japan, which had violated regulations of COCOM, the Coordinating Committee for multilateral export controls, by selling eight computer-guided multiaxis milling machines to the Soviet Union. The equipment permitted the Soviets to mass-produce a more silent propeller for their sub marines and thus avoid detection by many of the current U.S. methods. One Pentagon official estimated that it would cost the United States some $30 billion to regain the technological superiority lost in the illegal sale. The sledgehammer scene, which was largely ignored by the American media, was shown over and over again in Japan, to the point where it now lodges uneasily in the collective national consciousness. The anger of the congressmen was understandable. From the facts then available (and neither the Japanese government nor Toshiba Corporation, parent of the Toshiba Machine Company, has denied them), the security breach was consid erable, and possibly irreparable. As seen from Capitol Hill, an ungrateful Japan, still spending only about one percent of its GNP for defense, still protected by American forces and a U.S. defense budget which consumes about six percent of gnp, was aiding a potential adversary for profit. But the event triggered far more complex emotions on both sides, and reflected growing mutual frustrations. For many American leaders, Japan was already guilty of running up a huge trade surplus through questionable tactics while keeping its own market largely closed to American products. Spectac ular advances by Japanese engineers in a variety of high tech nology fields raised the specter of losses in one after another

Aldicarb Poisoning-Reply

In Reply.— Drs Witt and Wagner express concern that our report suggests that aldicarb-related illness could result from food residues below the level of laboratory detection. Their arguments are based on a small study of corporate executives and on experimental data. A further description of the illnesses would be useful in clarifying our assertions in the earlier article. Report of a Case.— On the morning of July 4,1985, one of the index cases in this outbreak, a 62-year-old woman receiving digoxin therapy, was seen with lacrimation, salivation, diaphoresis, vomiting, diarrhea, and muscle twitching. She was in shock, with a heart rate of 31 beats per minute and atrial fibrillation. Two other family members who had shared a watermelon with her were also severely ill. Before there had been any publicity about contaminated melons, the physician diagnosed cholinesterase-inhibitor poisoning. Treatment with atropine resulted in resolution of the symptoms. Based on the

On the Road and in the Field in 1919: The University of Arizona Summer Archaeological Field Season

Early on the morning of July first, 1919, a party of fifteen set out from Flagstaff [Arizona] on a long trip. It was the field archaeology of the University of Arizona and everywhere was evidenced success from the word “go.” The merry party was comfortably divided between the two Fords and the Studebaker. After that day over a thousand miles were traversed; by auto, by pack, and on foot. There were many experiences, many sights more wonderful than those many see in a lifetime. There were a few hardships which only added zest to the trip. When that same group returned they had all changed. Health was stamped in every action; happiness and satisfaction were everywhere in evidence; and a deep realization of the benefits in knowledge and experience gained was rooted in the heart of each individual. Any one might be questioned today; there would be an unanimous vote that this first field archaeology trip was a decided and memorable success.

A President's Assassination

In view of our 40th president's recent brush with death, it is interesting to recall the assassination of our 20th president, James Garfield, exactly a century ago in 1881. James Abram Garfield was elected President of the United States in 1880; like Ronald Reagan he was a Republican and a vigorous, healthy man, standing nearly 6 feet tall and weighing 210 lb. On the morning of July 2, 1881, Garfield was shot in the back by an assassin in the Washington, DC, train station. Eyewitnesses described the ensuing scene as one of "the greatest confusion and terror.... Soon the doors were shut to keep out the excited crowd, surgical aid called for the President, and the assassin hurried away to jail." Garfield's assassin, Charles Guiteau, was nearly killed by one of his prison guards and survived only because his cell bars deflected the bullet fired at him.¹ When Dr

SEAN report

The following geophysical and astronomical events were reported byte Scientific Event Alert Network (SEAN), Smithsonian Institution, NHB Stop 129, Washington, D.C. 20560.Volcanic EventsAfter several months of quiescence, Mt. Etna (Italy) began to erupt during the early morning of July 16 from a new vent at 3200‐m elevation, just north of the northeast crater. The new vent, containing a small lava lake, waste source of two lava flows, the larger of which moved east into the Valle del Leone and the smaller to the north. By July 18 the flows had reached about 2 km and 800 m in length, respectively. Shortly after the first lava effusion, Strombolian activity began from the new vent, rapidly increasing in frequency and power. Ejecta reached 600 m in height and covered an area about 1 km in diameter. The explosions had ended by July 20, and lava extrusion ceased July 23–24.

A Grand Dedication Ceremony for the Tanzam Railway Held in Zambia

Abstract (NCNA, Lusaka, July 14, 1976) A grand ceremony dedicating the Tanzam Railway was held on the morning of July 14, 1976, at the new Kapiri Mposhi Station in Zambia's Central Province. About ten thousand people were present at the ceremony. In great elation, they warmly celebrated the successful early completion of the railway and also its official opening to traffic.

Thomas Cromwell: A Study in Interrogation

On the afternoon of Thursday, the 10th of June 1540, a squad of Yeoman of the Guard burst into the Council Chamber in Westminster Hall, and arrested Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief minister. They escorted him out through a postern to a boat waiting at Westminster Steps, rowed him down the Thames, and through Traitors' Gate into the Tower of London. Within this gaunt prison Cromwell was held till the early morning of July 28th, when the Yeoman marched him to Tower Hill to be executed for treason, heresy, bribery, and misuse of power. He climbed the scaffold, and addressed the crowd. He had come here to die, he confessed, and not to justify himself. He was a grievous wretch, who sought God's pardon. He had offended the King, and asked the crowd to pray that Henry VIII would forgive him. Finally, Cromwell insisted that he would die a Catholic, and that he had never waivered in a single article of the Catholic faith. Then, after a short prayer commending his soul to the Almighty, Cromwell laid his head on the block, and, as John Foxe records, “patiently suffered the stroke of the axe” swung “by a ragged and butcherly miser [who] very ungodly performed the office.”So died one of England's greatest statesmen—the architect of the Reformation and the Tudor Revolution in Government. Just as his career has been the source of much historical debate, the events of the last seven weeks of his life, from his arrest to his execution, and his scaffold address especially, have been an irritant of contradiction and confusion.

A Possible observational correlation of lunar luminescence with the Kp index

Simultaneous three-color photometry of the lunar craters Menelaus, Copernicus, Kepler, and Gassendi was carried out on seven nights between June 21st and July 1st 1967, to monitor possible short-period color changes on a time scale of less than 10 min. Abnormally strong brightness variations in the red and infrared bands, amounting to deviations at high as 10% from the mean value were recorded on the morning of July 28th at a phase angle of about 75%. Comparison with K p values for these dates indicated a good, although not perfect, correlation between the amount of time variation in the red color index and the K p value. It is tentatively concluded that if such observations can be continued it could be possible to prove the irrelevance of magnetospheric effects to the question of lunar luminescence.

Karang Rarak: A 1955 Vignette

several plank-fronted Chinese shops and no more than a stone's throw from the former sultan's palace, this road intersects one of the town's three paved streets. At this intersection on a July morning at sunrise I had arranged to meet Anin, a friend from the mountain village of Rarak, so that we could make our return trip to the village together while the morning was still cool. On foot this trip usually took us about two hours and a half. 1

Physical oceanography

The International Association of Physical Oceanography held meetings for the presentation of papers each day, July 26 to August 5, inclusive. Business meetings were held on July 26 and August 2. The Presidential address was presented on the morning of July 27 (see under Sessional Meetings.)The first plenary session of the IAPO was concerned primarily with the reports of the scientific committees, the re‐appointment or the appointment of new members to the committees, submission of national reports, a discussion of administrative matters and presentation of papers. The following Committees reported: Tides; Mean Sea Level; Oceanographic Observation from Weather Ships; Bibliographic Classification; Geophysical Year, Current Measurements; Bathymetric Charts and Chemical Oceanography. It was proposed that committees on Radiant Energy in the Sea, Marine Littorals, Nomenclature of Minor Bathymetric Features be organized. An ad hoc committee for each was appointed. The union requested IAPO to make recommendations concerning World Data Centers, and an ad hoc committee consisting of Deacon, Bohnecke, Hela, Carruthers, Smed, Lyman, and Kolesnikov was appointed.

A Dispersal of Larvae of the Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

In July, 1952, during studies on the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), at Merivale, Ontario, a large-scale dispersal of the larvae was observed. A field of early potatoes consisting of seven 100-foot rows, which was to be used as a source of supply of the insect for plant resistance studies, had been artifically infested on June 30 by placing an overwintered adult on each plant. The beetles laid eggs in largc numbers and by the second week of July the plants were overpopulated wit11 larvae. By July 14 the plants were stripped of foliage and the larvae were forced to feed on the stalks. On the morning of July 16 the starving larvae began to leave the plants in large numbers. Almost all left on the one day, some of them travelling considerable distances.

Two Weeks of Active Duty

T was seven o'clock on a hot July morning when members of our army medical reserve units began pouring through every door of the main waiting room in Philadelphia's Thirtieth Street Station. There were men officers, nurse officers, and enlisted personnel, and all of us hot. We were glad, after breakfast, to find our designated places in the comfortably air-conditioned coaches which were to carry us to Camp Pickett, and two weeks of Active Duty for Training. Between Philadelphia and Washington the train stopped at two stations to add coaches of reservists. Another stop was made at Richmond, where coaches of 80th Division reservists were added. The train, which had left Philadelphia with six coaches, had now grown to twenty, all filled with reservists bound for Camp Pickett. We arrived at five o'clock on the railroad siding at the camp, where a party of officers from the camp, including the chief nurse of the army hospital, and two of her assistants, welcomed us to Camp Pickett. The vigorous music of the 80th Division Band added a fine military tone to the occasion. Busses were waiting to take us to the mess hall for supper and then to our quarters. Most of us are veterans of World War II, and we had learned to make ourselves comfortable in the living quarters of wartime foreign service. That was what we expected here. However, we accepted-with surprise but no nostalgia-our single rooms in a remodeled two-story barracks, only a short walk from the hospital. The rooms were attractively furnished, some even carpeted, and a comfortable lounge, with its own separate entrance from the outside, was located at one end of the first floor corridor. A neat card on the door of each room bore the name of the nurse who was to occupy it. Next to the lounge was the kitchen, the most used room in the house. Its equipment included a large refrigerator, an electric stove, and a generous supply of dishes and silverware. At the opposite end of the corridor from the kitchen was the laundry room, with a drying and ironing room adjoining. Bathing facilities-tubs, showers, basins-were so amply provided we never needed to take turns!

The Sixth International Congress of Radiology

Fifty-four countries were represented; 1,742 radiologists were registered, and the total enrollment was 3,364.The organization of the entire Congress reflected long months of careful planning and intensive work on the part of the President, Dr. Ralston Paterson, the Secretary-General, Dr. J. W. McLaren, and the other officers and committees. It is impossible to commend too highly the results of their labors. Everything moved with precision, from the impressive ceremony on the morning of July 24, at which the Earl of Athlone, Chancellor of the University of London, declared the Congress open, to its formal “Ringing Out” on July 28.The headquarters of the Congress was Central Hall, Westminster. Here the opening and closing ceremonies were held, the General Congress Symposia and symposia on diagnosis and therapy were presented, and the scientific exhibits were housed. Section meetings were held also in Church House and Caxton Hall, while the Technical exhibit occupied space in the halls of the Royal Horticultural Society.By a happy circumstance the Congress opened in the same hall that saw the assembling of the First International Congress just twenty-five years before. The ceremonies were colorful and impressive. The Congress having been declared formally open, Dr. B. H. Orndoff, representing Dr. Arthur C. Christie, President of the Fifth International Congress, invested Dr. Paterson with the badge and chain originally presented to the Congress by the British delegation as the official insignia of the President. Dr. Orndoff then called upon Dr. Hans R. Shinz of Zurich, who presented to Dr. Paterson a testimonial, signed by the three living past-presidents—Dr. Gösta Forssell, of Stockholm, Dr. Schinz, and Dr. Christie—in appreciation of the organization of the present Congress “under world conditions of exceptional difficulty.”These formalities were followed by the Presidential Address2 reviewing the progress of radiology from the early days to the present time, when “diagnostic radiology has permeated the whole structure of medicine” and “radiotherapy has provided man with the instrument which has become the most important weapon in the fight against malignant disease.”Article HistoryPublished in print: Nov 1950 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 55, No. 5 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download

Hospital outbreak of enteritis due to duck eggs.

On the morning of July 7, 1949, about 40 nurses at St. Bartholomew's Hospital had reported sick with an acute febrile enteritis, and many patients throughout the wards of the hospital were similarly affected. Inquiry in the kitchen revealed that a lightly cooked pudding containing 200 duck eggs had been served to the nursing and other female staff and to patients on July 5. It was therefore no surprise when stool cultures revealed the presence of Salmonella typhi-murium. The outbreak was on an exceptional scale for one so produced, and had features which appear worthy of record. Source of Infection

Luminous Night Clouds

LUMINOUS night clouds were observed in the northern sky in Scotland on the nights of July 9–10 and July 10–11, the extensive display showing characteristic wave structure in the early morning of July 11 being quite magnificent. Brilliantly blue-white in colour, the night clouds appeared about half an hour after sunset in a sky almost clear of normal cloud, were most brilliant during the hour after midnight and faded in the growing light before sunrise. A series of simultaneous photographs (one pair is reproduced here) by Stormer–Krogness auroral cameras from Abernethy and Blairgowrie will yield measurements of height, direction and speed of movement, as also of distance between successive wave-crests.

Dr. Gustav Senn

DR. GUSTAV SENN, professor of botany in the University of Basel, died there suddenly on the morning of July 10. His colleagues and other friends were preparing a Festschrift to be given him on November 9, his seventieth birthday.

Notes on the Life History of the Mud Snake

DURING the latter part of June, 1938, an exceptionally beautiful and heavy bodied specimen of the mud-snake, Farancia abacura abacura Holbrook, 56 inches long, was received at the Toledo Zoological Park. The snake was placed in a cage containing a large pool of water and kept under observation in the hope of observing egg-laying. Meade (1937: 12) reported on the breeding habits of the snake in captivity and in other publications on the egg laying (1935: 190), maternal care of eggs (1940: 15), feeding habits (1934: 91) and hibernation in captivity (1935: 99); Goldstein (1941) has reported collecting eggs in the field in Florida. Early in the morning of July 9 the mud-snake crawled from the water to the rocks above the pool and appeared to be nervous and in search of a suitable place to deposit her eggs, finally coiling in a level spot some 2 feet directly behind and above the pool. On the following morning several eggs were observed beneath her coils. When the cage was opened the snake paid no attention to the intruder. She was left coiled about her eggs until the next morning, July 11, when it was found that she had left the clutch and was moving about the cage. The eggs were then removed and found to number fifty-four. The eggs were not adherent, white in color, elliptical in shape, and with shells of a smooth, leathery texture. The average weight per egg of thirty that were weighed was 12.3 grams. A large glass container was filled with moist sand, and ten of the eggs were buried about one half inch below the surface of the sand in the container. The jar was then placed in a sun incubator, and the eggs were kept as near the original degree of dampness as possible by daily sprinkling, at 72? to 75? F. The first examination of the buried eggs was made on July 21. Because the shells were slightly discolored and very tight, it was thought that the eggs were probably too damp, and the sprinkling was reduced to once or twice a week. An egg taken from the container and opened on July 27 was found to contain a live embryo, but apparently the eggs were still too moist, and less water was added during further sprinklings. Three of the eggs had spoiled by this time. Another egg examined on August 10 contained a live, fairly well developed embryo. The tail was firmly attached to the trunk and the pulsations of the heart could be seen distinctly. At the same time another spoiled egg was found and removed. An egg opened on the morning of September 7 contained an embryo ready to hatch. The embryo was weak and died during examination. The three remaining eggs were then placed in a vivarium prepared from an aquarium tank. The bottom was covered with approximately 2 inches of fine sand and a shallow water pan was buried in the sand at one end so that its top was flush with the surface of the sand. Leaves were scattered about the floor to furnish hiding places for the young snakes.

Rainfall and Stream Flow Conditions During Floods in Central and Southern New York

During the afternoon of July 7 and the morning of July 8, 1935 a series of thunderstorms of great intensity centered in an area of some 7,000 square miles in ten counties in central and southern New York. Abnormally heavy rainfall occurred at about the same time in parts of the Mohawk Valley, in the Hudson River valley north of Albany and in other more or less isolated sections, such as the Chaumont River region in Jefferson County. While under ordinary circumstances the flood conditions in these, outside areas would have been considered notable, they were so far surpassed by the conditions in the main area that no further reference will be made to them in this paper. Now that this flood is a matter of history we can examine it in relation to other past floods in the northeastern section of the United States. By almost any standard of comparison the July flood is entitled to rank as a classic. The well-known New England flood of 1927 is the most recent and in fact about the only well-authenticated flood which is at all comparable. In the New England flood the precipitation was in general much less both in total amount and intensity than in the New York flood. The condition of the ground and the mountainous character of the terrain were important factors in causing the high runoff and resultant property damage in New

<h3>Workmen's Compensation Acts: Cerebral Hemorrhage an Accidental Injury Arising in the Course of Employment.—</h3> The employee, while engaged in the performance of his duties in carrying on quarrying operations for the defendant company, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, which resulted in partial paralysis. The trial court sustained an order of the compensation commission disallowing compensation, and the employee appealed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland. On the morning of July 1, an intensely hot and stuffy day, the employee in the course of his work descended several times into the quarry and arranged mud caps on charges of dynamite to be exploded. After his last trip he said that he felt hot, sat down for a while and fanned himself, then started toward the car, where he "usually went." Shortly thereafter he was found lying on the ground. He was taken to the office of a physician and from there
