Carnegie Report Hits
Plans for Federal
Control Of Research
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Researct
in universities would be 80 altered
as to be unacceptable, not to say
alien," if proosed legislation is
passed centering control and sup
port of scientific research in Wash.
ington, Walter A. Jessup, president
of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching, sale
yesterday.
Submitting his 38th annual report
for the year ending June 80, 1943
Mr.. Jessup wrote that "the tradi-
tionally free American college OF
university, whether supported by
private endowment or by the State
will undergo fourther drastic change
If some of the proposals that are
now current should be effected"
"At the moment" he said, pro
posals for Federal support Of edu-
cation, elementary, secondary and
higher, Federal support of students,
secondary and collegiate, Federal
support Of scientific research and
libraries-an now are receiving con-
siderable acclaim.
There is perhaps an even chance
or better that these proposals will.
find much favor in a nation regi-
mented for war. Whether for the
human spirit the gain in added
| efficiency and simplif1ed economy
will outweigh the loss In individua,
initiative and freedom to make mis-
takes, only time can tell.
"At any rate, the American Col
lege in its free evolution as an i'm
plement Of society, has now reached
stage when perforce it is governed
by society's need and not by its owr
free choices. The prime question
is whether our intellectual future
shall be immobilized at a planned
efficiency or free"
Mr.. Jessup said 1t was an open
question whether a controlled pro-
gram would make as great a con.
trlbution to American life as hao
the freer, though looSer, program
OF the American college, adding:
Nowadays, the dictates of tota,
war have removed from college life
and learning almost all free choice
and free decision. College officers
teachers, students, plants are as
sets OF the State and as such they
are expected to come through"

BOMBERS RAID TOKYO FOURTH TIME IN ROW

SATAN, Dec. 4.-(AP)-In- dustrial Tokyo was laid in fresh ruins and flames today after the 4fourth bombing raid which made successful attack.
 Saipan American Superfortress- es, which were based on Saipan, and a single force of B-29's struck in the midafternoon yes terday and found the Tokyo area clearly outlined in the sunlight.
 For an hour and a half they unloaded bombs with pin-point accuracy despite the intense ack- ack fire and swarms of intercep- tors.
 The results were good said the 10th Air Force communique.
 One squadron reported that 95 per cent of their bombs fell within target area.
 The prime objective of the raid was the Mashashima engine fac tory and the extensive Nakapima aircraft plant, once the empires top producer of military planes. The plant was built compactly of one-story structure of concrete. These structures were the target - of the initial B-29 raid htere on November 24th when consider able damage was inflicted.
 Returning pilots of this fourth raid on Tokyo described it as the toughest but the most successful.
 Anti-aircraft fire was more se- were and fighter Interrogation stronger and more persistent.
 The last squadron to reach the target found large fires raging which were whipped unusually high due to a strong wind.
 One Super-fortress was defi- nitely lost,, although the Japan ese communique claimed 14 Su- perfortresses definitely downed.
 They admitted that six intercep- tors were lost and asserted that they made suicide crashes into the raiders.
 Tokyo made the customary claim that the damage was slight but at the same time ordered 12l more miles of fire breaks built at the capital.
