cut in the foundations budget,
part of the 1852 supplemental ap-
preparations bill being considered
today by the House.
The slash took the foundation S
budget down from $14 million to
$500. .000-enough to support the
present staff" the House Appro-
Ipriations Committee reported.
The committees action limits
the foundations work to develop
ment OF national science policy.
It eliminates program of sup
porting basic research and train
ling scientific manpower. listed in
the proposed budget at $13,215,000,
"It is clearly apparent" DR..
Waterman said, "that the COM
mittee has misunderstood the des-
lperately critical situation in the
United States with respect to sci-
entiflc manpower and its bearing
upon the present emergency"
Fewer Engineering Students.
He said a foundation study has
indicated that during the next
three years the number of engi-
neering graduates will decline at
an alarming rate" with only a
third as many graduates in 1854
as there were in 1850.
He pointed out that only 1900
engineers will graduate in 1854,
whereas the estimated defense
requirement for new engineers for
that year exceeds 10000.
1--WE dare not forget the lesson
Of the last war" DR.. Waterman
said. "In 1910 the Nazis stopped
their research. They thought the
war could be won on weapons and
warfare devices already developed
and in production. Three years
later they tried desperately to re-
store strong research effort. It
was then too late. They missed
three of our most important mill
tary assets: Microwave radar, the
proximity fuse, and the atomic
bomb" 1

The committee said funds for
research and training were being
denied because their early aid
