Young Scientists Heal
Truman Stress Lack
OF Real Workers

President Truman said today
that real workers ARE as scarce
as the proverbial hens teeth" as
he assured a group Of school boy
and girl scientists that they could
reach the top Of their profession
by continuing to plug away.
The Presidents audience in
cluded 81 boys and 8 girls from
18 States and the District who are
the finalists in the Westinghouse
Educational Foundation essay
contest in which $ll,o00.o00 ip
science scholarships will be
awarded.
The winners vii be announced
at banquet at the Hotel Statler
Monday night which will end a
five-day program for the young
sters. The Science Clubs Of
America directed the contest in
which two District boys emerged
as f1nalists. They are: Walter Gil
bert. 16, of 1909 Thirty-f fifth street
NV. who attends Sidwell Frineds'
School, and Carl Weber Werntz,
II. Of $40 Nicholson street NV,
q senior at Calvin Coolidge High
School.
Congratulating the youngsters
when they came to his Office. the
President said: There never was
q time in the history of the world
when we needed scientists and
people of energy as we need them
now. There is more room at the
top now than ever in the history
Of the world"
The President urged the boys
and girls to become an asset" to
this country and said that II
peace comes to the world "and we
proceed to implement the policies
which we are trying to inaugurate,
there will be an immense number
Of jobs-a greater number Of Jobs
in your line than there will be the
men to fill them"
After the visit, contestants
planned to witness scientific dem
onstrations, exhibit their own
projects. hear talks by top scient-
lists and visit laboratories and in
stitutions of scientific and historic
