Abstract
THE July issue of Atomic Scientists News is notable in that for the first, time the journal is bound in an attractive colour cover, a considerable improvement in appearance. The contents of the issue include areport of the annual general meeting, held on June 25, of the Atomic Scientists Association, and a survey by a Birmingham study group of the problem of atomic weapons and civil defence. At the annual meeting the following officers were elected: President, Prof. R. E. Peierls; Executive Vice-President, Dr. K. Lonsdale ; Honorary General Secretary, Dr. F. C. Champion ; Honorary Treasurer, Dr. T. G. Pick-avance ; Editor of the News, Dr. J. L. Michiels ; Librarian, Dr. W. D. Allen. Because of a reserve of £1,600, largely built up from profits made on the sale of the guide to the “Atom Train", the financial position of the Association was considered sound, though an annual deficit of some £300 is being incurred owing to the considerable secretarial expense and the cost of maintenance of the London office of tlie Association.
