1. The second postwar convectionof*the Deutsche Geseilsohaft fur
Angewandte Optik (German Society for Applied optics in Bad Kreuznach took
place n a` rmonious atmosphere, with keen 'participation of members- and
n,on-members. Of the approximately one hundred participants, some twenty
came from West Berlin. The guests from the East Zone scheduled to present
papers did not come. They notified the Convention that they had not received
their interzonal passports in time.
2. The Convention was opened by a membership meeting in which the
President, Dr. K. Raentsch, presented the annual report. He recalled with
a few words the society member Dr. Franz Staeble, who had
end of 1950. Following the election of a new secretI Dr. awayutt then
the treasurer's report was submitted by Dr. ?' ? Norbert Guenther,

longed discussion about the site of the convention in the' spring of 1952, for
which both Berlin and Braunschweig had been proposed, the meeting decided in
favor of Berlin, the traditional convention site of the Society. In conclu-
sion, the formation of scientific committees within the framework of the,
Society was brought up for discussion. These committees are to be organized
primarily for the purpose of studying questions of standardization. The
chair requested the submission of proposals from the membership not later
than the end of June, if possible.
3. Some of the papers were followed by lengthy discussions. This, too,
was in line with the traditional character of the conventions of the Society
for Applied
ps, which, largely dispensing with any show, are calculated
to furnish the basis for technical discussions,and'opportunity for interesting
and productive exchanges of ideas on all optical problems.
