RECOGNITION FOR TESLA Largely thru a young American, engineer's efforts, the world today is re-scanning the record and achievements of our inventive genius, Nikola Tesla. Of late, even the big-time magazines have devoted space to the amazing career and fascinating character of the pioneering electrical wizard. The man behind this belated recognition for the one-time) Serbian immigrant boy who made millions but died almost a pauper is Leland P. Anderson, head of the Tesla Society, which has headquarters at the University of Minnesota. ION CONTAINED CLASSIFIED Thru travels, correspondence and detailed research, Mr. Anderson has dug up many friends of the late genius and induced them to join in his noble work. A good many of these are American-Serbians. They serve Mr. Anderson and he serves them, with information issued thru his TESLIAN publication. This is, at present, a mimeographed publication issued monthly which casts new light on the known life and record of the late Dr. Tesla. BY SC 4 Jumpate 771-Y The latest issue (March-June) informs of progress plans to honor Dr. Tesla even more. It also presents an account of al fascinating editorial, "Strange Genius", by the POWER magazine of the powerful McGraw-Hill publishing line. This editorial traces the introduction of Dr. Tesla's polyphase system, INDEXED-59 described by Mr. Anderson, as the "most tremendous event in in /00 2237 A NOT RECORDED all engineering history." Editorialist Louis Bowler, according to the TESLIAN. 138 JUL 11 1355 answers the perplexing question why, in view of Tesla's important discoveries, he fell short of the comparative popularity won by Edison and Bell. Then in losing, he suggests: would be fitting for our engineering societies, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Nikola Tesla's birth (July 10, ICAN SRBOBRAN 1956), to acknowledge our debt to this strange and lonely genius who changed our world for the better.". 29, 1955 sburgh, Pennsylvania This appears to be just what Mr. Anderson was waiting for. For now, in the same issue of his TESLIAN, he has prepared a form to petition Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield to issue a Tesla commemorative stamp next year. duplicate in this issue and 36
