Flap at IUPAP

Members of the US national commission to the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, long dissatisfied with the small part that IUPAP plays in international physics activities, are currently mounting a strong effort to put new vigor into the world organization. It is believed that the American delegation to IUPAP'S twelfth general assembly at Basel this fall may urge formation of an IUPAP committee on meetings and advance the name of a dynamic American for a key post in the organization.
