The truth Is that Weizmann has discovered a process for the manufacture of something (the preci.se nature of which is a military secret) that vifould make u.se of certain waste materials now regarded as of no value whatsoever . . . Before re¬ joining the Army, Major Eph¬ rlam Jeffe (his rank dates from World War Number One) did a little job of inventing for the Consolidalefl Edison Company, producing a double sci'een that reduces the glare from a light- eti room lo a negligihle tiuan- tily . . .
