Abstract :
The AIEE Electrophysics Committee reports as follows: 1. It has obtained permission from the AIEE Board to invite two members of the American Physical Society (APS) to sit with the committee. It is hoped that this arrangement will actually go into effect after 1 August. 2. It has obtained permission from the editor of Physical Review to publish in our JOURNAL abridgments of any papers appearing in Physical Review, with the usual credit. This will make it possible to note important articles immediately after their publication. 3. It has arranged with Professor K.T. Compton of Princeton University, NJ, USA to write a paper on the nature of the electric arc for presentation at this convention. It is hoped that another prominent physicist may be secured to address our next Winter Convention and that such addresses may become a regular practise in the future, at least at Winter Conventions. In addition, list is given of the papers and articles, which appeared in the JOURNAL during the period covered by this report that will give an idea of the range of topics in electrophysics covered. While not all of these papers were presented under the auspices of the Electrophysics Committee, they all lie within the scope of the committee´s interests.
