The scintillation light yield of thin trans-stilbene, paraterphenyl, and anthracene crystals and an organic plastic scintillator bombarded with alpha particles of ThB(Pb/sup 212) was measured as a function of temperature between t = 20 deg C and the melting point. The light yield of all the specimens investigated was found to be reduced with increasing temperature. In all cases at the melting point the light yield was zero. The scintillation anisotropy of the organic crystal scintillators also was investigated over the range of temperature mentioned above, and there it is independent of temperature and retains the value measured at room temperature.
