PH.D. DEGREE MEN
 QUITE MAIERIALlSIIC
Less Than a Fourth of Them Pro- ductive Scholars--I}ig Tempta-
 ton of Money and Business.

New York. Oct. 10 tF9 - Less than 25 per cent of the holders Of a Ph. D. degree are productive scholars, the American Historical association said today in the re- port of q national survey conduct ed to discover the best means of expending income from it's s1,0oo,- 900 endowment fund, Most holders of the Ph. D. degree seek to trade in the degree for material success rather than pursue scholarship and research, the association said.
 Deploring the lack of research in the social sciences particularly history, the summary divided the blame widely. College presidents were criticized for seeking to ac- ouire doctors of philosophy for their faculties for advertising pur- poses. Americas comparatively low cultural level, measuring success in dollars, and the opinion that re- search does not pay adequate re- turn, were also blamed in part for slow progress in the social sclences' Outside the British Isles there are
 fewer than eighteen million white
 people in the thirteen million square miles of the British Empire.
