What is recorded here?
Feynman and Gell-Mann proposed a weak-interaction theory using two-component spinors and a beta interaction without gradients. Their stated assumptions lead to vector and axial couplings of equal magnitude. A common interaction structure sought to connect beta decay, muon decay and neutrino processes. The proposal is a distinct theoretical step beyond Fermi's beta-decay model; subsequent confirmation and revision require their own evidence.

Scientific scope
Only the original abstract, bibliography and byline were inspected. The abstract does not theoretically fix the relative sign and reports disagreements with some contemporary measurements. This is not the complete electroweak theory.
