Abstracts
It is suggested that an SU(3) scheme ought to have unitary triplets as its fundamental objects. The simplest possibility consists of the triplet with spin 1/2, baryon number 1/3, and containing an isotopic doublet with charges 2/3 and -1/3, and a singlet with charge -1/3. The consequences of assuming that interaction Lagrangians are made up of such objects ("Quarks'') are discussed. One of the quarks should be stable, so a search is suggested. (Science Abstracts. 1964, 15007. E. J. Squires.).
