These books are well written. Skryabin's work is model
in its field. This cannot be said-of Gamaleya's, whit
contains many inaccuracies. Critic accuses Garnaleya of
adopting style of Paul de Kruif's "Microbe Hunters."

Radio centers of Ministry of Communications are the
nucleus around which regional and municipal radio-
fioation networks are organized. In addition, there
are many other radio centers which belong to other;
ministries. Urges that all these stations be put
under one administration to train personnel uniformlg
and grant all stations equal facilities for obtaining
equipment.
