The Eisenhower Admin
stration also wanted a study
made of the ability and will
ingness of state, county and
city governments to recap
ture many of the functions
taken from them by the
Federal government during
the last twenty years. This
will be done by the new
Commission on Inter-Gov-
ernmental Relations, which
will consist of twenty-five
members. President Eisen-
hover is seeking the best
qualified persons for the
monumental task.
The duties of this COM
mission include "a study of
the proper role of the Fed
eral government in relation
the states and their political
subdivisions, to the end that
these relations may be clear
ly defined and the functions
concerned may be allocated
to their proper Jurisdiction"
This commission must
deal with such problems as
Federal incursion into the
domain of local governments
in carrying out Federal aid
programs of many kinds,
proper ALLEGATION of tax
sources, social security, aid
to education, construction of
highways and many other
similar matters.
Some state officials have
urged the Federal govern
ment to get completely out
of highway construction and
let gasoline taxes be the ex-
elusive revenues of states.
There is a continuing strug-
gle in congress between
those favoring Federal aid
to education, and those in
sisting that it is a state and
local responsibility.
Recently the 45th Annu-
al Governors Conference a.
dopted resolutions demand
ing that big Federal govern
ment be cut down, and the
power and responsibilities
of the states be enlarged.

as possible with a minimum
of competition with private
industry.
These are the joint aims
of the two commissions au-
thorized by Congress at the
request of President Eisen-
hover. They are the new
Hoover Commission and a
commission on Federal-state
relations.
You will be hearing a
great deal in the next few
months about this campaign
to cut big government down
to size and get people out
of the habit of running to
Washington with their prob
lens.
These commissions will
study virtually every phase
of government. Some expert
enced legislators say their
reports-plus action upon
them-will answer the ques-
ton: Is big Federal govern
ment too big to be controlled D.?
Former President Hoover,
at 70, has yielded to requests
that he head the new COM
mission which is construc-
ted to study the Federal
government. He sees in it
an opportunity to chart a
path to bolster private en-

improve governmental eff

phere of oxygen, nitrogen, car
bon dioxide, water and some rare

Mr.. Miller, National Science
Foundation fellow, offered his
own view that electrical dis
charge-presumably lightning
may have played a significant
role in the formation of life
basic compounds in the primitive
atmosphere.
He said his experiments-per-
formed in a glass apparatus
were primarily designed "to du-
plicate a primitive atmosphere
of the earth" and not to obtain
the best conditions for producing
amino acids.
But he declared that a more
efficient apparatus might open
the way for a commercial system
of producing amino acids arti-
flcially. Such "aminos" could be
used in human and animal foods.
The researcher said his studies
were designed to test an hypo-
thesis, first offered by DR.. A. I.

A University of Chicago re-
searcher says he has laboratory
evidence to support theory of
how life began on this planet
billions of years ago.
Stanley I. Miller, writing in
the technical journal Science,
reported it was the first labora-
tory evidence which strength
ened the idea that chemicals
serving as the basis Of life on
earth were formed by the inter-
action of gases and water in the
primitive atmosphere.
Mr.. Miller said he had pro-
duced amino acids-the so-called
building stones of living protein
by firing an electric discharge
into a mixture of steam and
gaseous methane, ammonia and
hydrogen.
Those latter gases, together
with water, are believed by some
scientists, including Nobel Prize
Winner Harold Urey, to have
constituted the earth's atmos-
phere before the world became

Mr.. Miller said he boiled water
in a flask, and the resulting steam
