held each week among the in
stitutes. Researchers from one
institute often pick up just what
they lacked in information from
a colleague in another institute.
There is a constant exchange of
information, even daily at lunch.
From time to time they publish
their findings in medical journals.
In addition to research in its
own laboratories, the Public
Health Service conducts a sweep
ing program of aid to medical
and biological research in univer-
sites, medical schools, and other
non government institutions.
About 70 per cent of the money
appropriated by Congress to the
national Institutes is spread to
help continue research projects,

and to stimulate research in
areas where programs have been

They are trying to teach others
how to spot these people who,
without treatment. will even

downs.
Clinic to Close Gap.
But what is exciting the
scientists at the Institutes now
can be summed up in their open
ing remarks when they speak of
the future:
"Now when we get the Clinical
Center. :"
The Clinical Center is expected
to close the great gap in the
Institutes research program-the
gap that has existed between the
laboratory and the bedside.
Each institute will have a
number of patients. Each patient
will be admitted to the Center
after referral of his private
physician or hospital and only
after a diagnosis of his ailment
makes him a suitable research
patient.
This means that the Clinical
Center will not attempt to cure
just anybody. It will not be a
medical care institution.
Patients will have to pass sort
of a physical" to get in. If they
meet the requirements set up by
the man in charge of research,
say in cancer of the breast; if
they meet the age and weight
requirements and so forth, they'll
be admitted-but only under
those conditions.
Broad Welfare Concept.
Cancer men may want so
patients for year with a certain
type of tumor. After they have
completed their tests, the patients
could easily require further hos
pitalization in private insti-
tutionS.
But the overriding principle
in all clinical studies will be that
"the welfare of individual human
beings takes precedence over
every other consideration"
The Clinical Center at Be-
thesda is not quite finished. A
few things will be added before
the opening. One is a plan to fill
the now-empty pools on either
side of the entrance.
Somebody probably thought Of

Compton Doubts Science
Is ALWAYS Good for Man
BY the Associated Press

BY the ASSociuted PreSS
LONDON, Aug. 8.-Chancellor
Arthur H. Compton of Washing
ton University (St. Louis, MOI
said tonight that serious ques-
tions have been raised whether
the advancement of science truly
worked for mans good.
In a talk prepared for the con-
ference of the International Fed
Grafton of University Women, DR.,
Compton observed that the an
swer lay in accepting whole
heartedly. the basic premise of
democratic freedom that indi-
vidual persons, men and women
themselves, were important"
DR.. Compton said that If CIV
ilization took as its goal q social
order where every person was
given the opportunity Of con-
tributing his part and was rec
ognized for his way of playing
1t, science, technology and So
cial organization would all take
on human meaning. for it Is
through these agencies that men
and women must be given the op-
portunity for growth"
Then, he added, these powerful
agencies would become the way
towards greater freedom instead
Of blocking the way to life of
human meaning. Whether they
impaired added value to human
life depended upon the spirit in
which we used them, he COM
mented.

Cummings objects to beine

that the same is true Of some TV
