DR.. Richard M. Field, president Of
the American Geophysical Union.
The visitors were welcomed to the
Washington education institutions
by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
Of George Washington University.
DR.. Frank B. Jewett, president Of
the National Academy of Sciences,
who welcomed the scientists to
America for their studies In weather
predictions, radio disturbances, earth
structure, earthquakes, and the deep
internal compositions of the earth,
said:
Whatever the future has in store
for the world and its inhabitants, it
is safe to say that every increment
to our store of real knowledge is po-
tentially an increment added to a
better way of life. 1t may be a long
way off, but the possibility of its
attainment justifies our continuing
the quest. The field you represent
is one Of the most important in the
whole domain because it is con-
cerned with the very foundation on
which all else rests"
Time after time it was brought
out that these men of science, of
every race and nationality, have de-
voted their lives to the betterment
of the millions of peoples who in
habit the earth-and that their al
truistic work cannot go on with the
greatest benefits when peoples array
themselves against each other In
battle formation.

scribed yesterday by Miss Blanche
Ladu, former president Of the Amer

held In her honor by the social study
group of the American Association

impossible to provide special re-
Mobilization treatment and care
for woman prisoners. She strongly
urged her hearers to interest them
selves in Jail conditions in COM
munities where they might have
influence for the purpose of bringing
about the establishment of separate
penal institutions for men and
women.
