The Defense Technical Information Center released it under FOIA in November 2014.

Fellowship Press, 1941. 303 p.
Author postulates that ''pr~siding spirits'' were obstructed in their work of pro-
jecting a perfect earth by ''mischi~vous spirits"; this accounts for the apparent
dissimilarity in peoples, inadvertent cataclyems, interrupted or capricious
harvests, and intermittent phenomena tending to displace terrain and change
polar rotations. "Great Ministering Overlords" were appoiated to minister the
world and are doing so at this moment.

Suggests that a simple space probe, radiating a watt of RF power, could tranr
mit about 3 bits/sec per watt of information when Mars comes within 50 X 10
miles of earth. This minimal probe would be capable of transmitting 65,000
bits/sec from the moon, wh.ch is enough for high quality speech.
