(Received January 12, 1.10 a.m.)
CANBERRA, January 11.
Wearing tropical suits and carrying their coats on their arms, 900 scientists assembled for their big congress today in a super-heated atmosphere. It was said that only the meteorologists, solar radiation experts and students of thermal activity revelled in the heat, which was well over 100 degrees. Canberra has never housed a more distinguished aggregation of scientists. The presidential address by Professor Scott was delivered in the Albert Hall tonight on “The History of Australian Science.”
