An analysis is made of the experimental and theoretical results which explain weak interactions and beta decay. The longitudinal electron polarization, the two-component electron in beta decay, tho two-component neutrino, and the universal thoory of Fermi interactions are discussed, as well as symmetry transformations and temporary parity. In addition, a review is given of the basic conclusious of the beta decay theory postulating that in allowed transitions the beta spectrum, is Fermion in shape; electrons have total polarization, equal to v/c; the neutrino consists of twocomponents (A and V variations); the vector constant cannot be renormalized; and temporary parity is conserved. The deviations from the established theory, the weak GellMann magnetism, and deviation of beta spectra from Fermi shape and from electron polarization are analyzed as examples of exceptions supporting the basic theory. Two concepts describing weak interactions, Fermion interactions through irtermittent vector boson and direct interaction of four Fermions, are mentioned. 54 references. (R.V.J.)
