Chemistry of Uranium. Part I. The Element, Its Binary and Related Compounds, vol. 5, by J. J. Katz and E. Rabinowitch, 1951, is a detailed discussion of the physical and chemical properties of uranium, its occurrence in nature and extraction from ores, and preparation and physical properties of its binary compounds, 609 pages, $8.25. Medical Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan, edited by Ashley W. Oughterson and Shields Warren, is based upon the 6-volume report of the Joint Commission for the Investigation of the Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan. It presents a great mass of unique and authoritative information of importance to national defense, and is a valuable contribution to fundamental medical knowledge. DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES In order to make the nonclassified results of Commission research and development available to the public, the following libraries serve as depositories for essentially all the Commission's nonclassified reports. A number of other university and public libraries also receive copies of the reports that are sold by the Office of Technical Services. OHIO Cincinnati, University of Cincinnati Cleveland, Cleveland Public Library PUERTO RICO La Fortaleza, San Juan, University of SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, University of South Carolina Library Toledo, University of Toledo Library TENNESSEE OKLAHOMA Stillwater, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College Library OREGON Corvallis, Oregon State College Library PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia, University of Pennsyl- Pittsburgh, Carnegie Library of University Park, Pennsylvania State Knoxville, University of Tennessee Nashville, Joint University Libraries Austin, University of Texas Library Salt Lake City, University of Utah Seattle, University of Washington WISCONSIN Madison, University of Wisconsin INDUSTRIAL DEPOSITORIES To provide industry with specialized industrial information materials and to facilitate inspection of such materials, the AEC has set up special depositories at the Atomic Industrial Forum, Inc., in New York City, at the John Crerar Library in Chicago, in the Stanford Research Institute, Stanford, Calif., and at the Georgia Institute of Technology Library, Atlanta, Ga. Industrial depository collections are comprised of a complete collection of unclassified "basic science" reports which have been found to contain technological developments of special value to American industry not directly connected with the U. S. Atomic Energy Program. Abstracts of these reports were published in a series of special bibliographies entitled, "Selected AEC Reports of Interest to Industry," which is also available at the depositories. A modest program for making unclassified engineering drawings available for inspection at industrial depositories has also been initiated.
