Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers (1930-1949)

The Index for Volume 54 was tacked by two spots of adhesive to the inside back cover of the JOURNAL proper in June in an effort to serve both those who have wanted the Index bound in the last issue of a volume and those who have as definitely wanted to receive Indexes as separately bound booklets. The spine of the Journal beginning with this issue, shows a rearrangement made in an effort to show more clearly the progression and identity of numbers within each volume. This has been done chiefly in response to very helpful suggestions made by Lorin D. Grignon, Development Engineer of Twentieth Century-Fox. Briefly Noted Radio and Television Law, by Harry P. Warner, 1,095 pp., $35.00, has been recently published by Matthew Bender & Co., Albany, N.Y. The author is known to JOURNAL readers as the coauthor, with J. E. McCoy, of "Theater Television Today," in the October, 1949, JOURNAL. Detailed information about the book is available in the form of an advertising letter from the publishers. Radio file is an index of radio and television articles appearing in the principal technical periodicals. This JOURNAL has been added to those previously indexed. Radiofile is an index by subject, not by title. It is issued bimonthly and is cumulative, listing all material of the current year, so that only the last index need be consulted. The year-end Annual is for permanent reference. The yearly subscription rate is $1.50. Annuals are: for 1946, $.35; and 1947-49, $.50 each. The publisher is Richard H. Dorf, 255 W. 84 St., New York 24. "Management Techniques to Match Speed With Efficiency" is an article on common sense management by W. Walter Watts in the May, 1950, Dun's Review. "Wally" Watts is well known to Society members as Vice-President of RCA and a major proponent of theater television. In this article he speaks of coaching an industrial organization from within rather than managing from above, as a practical and successful way of enabling it to self-adjust to fast changing conditions. His is a philosophy that will interest all who are administrators in any industry. Dun's Review is 35^ a copy, from Dun and Bradstreet, 290 Broadway, New York 8.
