C., that applicants interested in the Scholarship pre¬ viously held by Graham Hovey and Bernard Buck, with Radio Italiana, should be encouraged to apply for the 1958-59 academic year.

TV TO AID SCIENCE PROPOSED A proposal to let scientists use the late hours on TV for informal round table discussions to iron out prob¬ lems in connection with the launching of a planned earth satellite, was made by Dr. I. M. Levitt, director of the Fels Planetarium of the Franklin Institute in Philadelplya. Dr. Levitt said his proposal was prompted by the postponement of the satellite’s launching date from September of this year to April, 1958. He feels that the delay is largely due to theoretical difficulties. These, he thinks, could be resolved if the nation’s scientists in the guided missile field were permitted to discuss their problems from TV studios through¬ out the country. Dr. Levitt suggested that networks pool one hour in the early morning for such coast-to-coast meetings. To permit the TV discussions, Dr. Levitt recommends the declassification of satellite work when it does not touch national defense. NEWSLETTER
