world TO aid the regents in their
choice.
The QUESTIONABLE particularly sought
information on whether II was the
opinion Of American scientists that a
pure research worker be given the

administrative officer, but with con
siderable scientific background. This
is the question. it is believed at Smith
sonian. which has delayed the regents

an appointment this morning.

been handicapped badly by lack Of
money in recent wears Established
hv the will of James Smithson with a
grant of approximately 81 zoe, 600. the
institution was intended to promote
and publish the results of scientific re-
search. Eut with the heavy demands
upon its limited income for purely ad-
ministrative purposes, the research
projects undertaken in recent years
have depended largely upon private
grants ftom time TO time for specific
purposes.
