WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Dues of
the United States in the Interna-
tional Council of Scientific Unions
and six international unions upon
which America science is represent
ed are being paid from private
money of the National Research
Council because congress omitted
the usual appropriation of about
$4,000 when it passed the state de-

session.
Rather than jeopardize friendly
scientific relations with the interna-
tional unions and with other gov
ernments. the National Research
Council decided as an emergency
matter to pay the 1882 quotas of
this country its funds. although the
present economic situation has in
creased the financial demands up
on this co-ordinating scientific or

Officials of the National Research
Council expressed the hope that
congress would restore its par
