MilSOre hill Threatens
To SfifIe All Science
BY f. F. TOMPKINS

TT WOULD be strange indeed if this free
L country, with its immense resources
and with a just appreciation of the ac-
complshments of its scientific men and
institutions, should permit POLITICIANS
and SOCIALISTIC "ECONOMIC PLAN
NERS' to enchain SCIENCE in America.
Yet that is what will happen unless
Americans beware: for the first step has
been taken in the presentation of bill
in Congress.
This bill was introduced in its latest
form on July % by Senator Kigore one
Of the Democratic group which is spon-
soring Soeiallstic legislation at Washington.
1t would establish in the federal gov
ernment an independent agency" to be
known as the National Science Founda-
ton"
The foundation" should take jurisdic-
ton over all scientific work carried on in
any department of the government, in
Guiding THE WAR AND NAVY DE-
PARTMENTS.
But the K1fgUre bitt also ranges far
beyond the government.
1T WOULD empower the director" of
the foundation to utilize" the "facjl-
icI'o anu leoOuICeS Vi private OrgdnlZd-
tons
Under the formulae of protecting the
public health or promoting the national
defense, EVERY INDUSTRIAL RE-
SEARCH ESTABLISHMENT COULD
BE IMPRESSED INTO LINE.
To support its activities and augment
its power. the foundation" would receive
from Congress unestimated appropriations
OF such sums as may be necessary"
In addition, this agency" of the fed
eral government could SOLICIT AND
RECEIVE FINANCIAL GRANTS" out
side the government
Out of its funds it could bestow
scholarships and fellowships, and hire an
unlimited number Of employees.
AT least half Of the congressional
allotments would be used for engaging
the facilities of 'nonprofit educational
institutions and research institutions"
This use Of money would be SUB
SlDIES-and federal subsidies would
mean FEDERAL CONTROL of scientific
education and research
Moreover, any institution. firm or per
son cooperating with the Foundation"
must agree that "any invention discovery
or finding resulting" would become "the
property Of the United States" and be
patented by the government.

A MERICANS will observe News

reliance in freedom has largely been
promoted by untrammeled expires.
sion of opinion and unhampered
dissemination of information.
Oct. 1-8 is the period set aside
for the observance.
History affords no better justif-
cation of free press than the record
of American journalism during the
past few years, to cite only one era
out of an honorable history.
ONLY in America during the tragic
" days of the war, was there free
press. Only in America were news
papers so strong and so dependable,
so unquestionabiy patriotic and so
completely integrated into the ma
tional consciousness that, in the
travail OF struggle Tor natlonal eX-
istence, they preserved alone among
the journals Of the world the right
and privilege of honest and intelli-
gent opposition.
Only in America did they deserve
the high trust of voluntary censor
ship.
Only in America did they speak
primarily for the people.
Only in America did they publish
those truths that were too bitter or
too disheartening for the press of
other countries to let their peoples
know.
Only in America did newspapers
become part of the national arsenal
in terms of intelligence and informa
ton, of leadership and Of social
service.
Detroit evening times., 1945-10-01

There are very good reasons for
this notable exception.
For American newspapers are
radically different than those of
other countries.
They are, in fact, much more than
mere pieces of paper on which are
printed facts and opinions. They
are fundamentally the voice of the
people and the portrait of their
world
Not of this particular kind or set
of people, nor of the other, but of
ALL THE PEOPLE.
The voice and portrait of the
orderly and creative tumult, some
times in agreement, sometimes in
dissent, which characterizes the
progress of a vital and dynamic
society.
