CERN Proposes Missing Magnets And 150 GeV for New Machine

The CERN 300‐GeV project, plagued with foot‐dragging, international intrigue, and tight money, and most recently confronted with Robert Wilson's announcement that the Batavia accelerator might yield a 500‐GeV beam by 1 July 1971, has announced a new design approach that might salvage the project. In mid‐April the new proposal was presented for discussion to European governments and European scientists; a decision is hoped for by October.
