Abstract
THE problem of stellar energy was the subject of discussion of the Fourth Annual Conference on Theoretical Physics sponsored by the George Washington University and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and held in Washington, D.C., on March 21-23. The Conference was attended by astrophysicists studying the internal constitution of the stars (S. Chandrasekhar, B. Strömgren, T. Sterne, D. Menzel and others) as well as by physicists working on different branches of nuclear physics (H. Bethe, G. Breit, G. Gamow, J. v. Neumann, E. Teller, M. Tuve, L. Hafstad, N. Heydenburg and others).
