Mr.. Maza, born in 1889, broke
with tradition early. He was the
first member of his family, who
had been farmers for generations,
to enter the ranks of politics. He
became a member of the Chilean
House of Representatives in 1920,
after receiving a doctorate in law
at the University of Chile in San
tiago. He thus pioneered the sue
cessful entry of representatives
from the middle class into Chilean
political life He was the first such
person to rise to position of lead
ership in the Parliament of his
country.
!. In 1925, he was elected to the
Senate, and held the post until
1853. In his first year as Senator,
he was chosen as Prime Minister
and Minister of the Interior. The
next year, he remained in the
Cabinet as Minister of Justice and
Education He has twice been
President of the Senate in 1896
and again in 1887. From 1897 to
1853, he presided over the Senate's
Foreign Relations Commission.
AS a lawmaker, Mr. Maza is
perhaps most widely known as the
author of the revised Chilean Con-
stitution which was adopted in
1925 and included number of ma
jor political and economic reforms.
The new Assembly President is
equally famed in Chile as champ
ion of international organization.
He was strong supporter of the
League of Nations and played a
leading role in securing the Chile
an Legislatures approval of the
United Nations, Charter.
Fellow Chilean diplomats stress
Mr.. Maza's role as his country's

that he is called upon for his
services in the international field
by whatever political party holds
the reins of government His sta
tus in international affairs trans
cends party lines, they say He
has four times headed Chile's del
egation to General Assembly ses-
sions.
Mr.. Maza is particularly well
known to his diplomatic colleag-
ues from Uruguay, Brazil. Haiti,
Panama, the Dominican Republic
and Peru, in which countries he
served as Chile's Ambassador Ex-
traordinary.

Dr.. Abbot's Sixtieth

One of the dreams for the new Smith
sonian Institution building is proposal
for two great bronze entrance doors
adorned with scenes from the history OF
the worlds most famous agency of its kind
for "the increase and diffusion of knowl-
edge among men," These portals, 1t has
been suggested, would open on the minute
of am. each day, and each such open
ing would be an occasion for the writing
of new calendar entry in the annals OF
James Smithson's foundation. It would
be duty of the institutions Secretary or
Of his delegate to inscribe in the Golden
Book Of Science and Art each event, each
significant happening worthy Of long re-
membrance among the heirs of Smithson

Suppose there had been "log" of the
indicated variety on May 81, 1895: The
Smithsonian Secretary on that date was
Dr. Samuel Pierpont Langley, an astro-
physicist of distinction who wanted to solve
the mysteries of mechanical flight. Did ne

lens to be solved by organized common

Progress on Pay

Federal employees finally are assured
Of pay raises acceptable to the adminis-
tration. The per cent increase for postal
workers unanimously voted by the Senate
yesterday had received qualified White
House approval before passage. An amend
ment that probably would have invited
another veto was rejected. This was the
Butler proposal to extend the same raise
to all Federal employees. The President has
made it plain that he will not approve SO
large an increase for classified workers.
He iustifies this stand by pointing out
that part of the proposed postal raise will
result from reclassification of salaries.
CLASSIFIED workers already are enjoying
the benefits of readjusted pay system
The prompt Senate action shows what can
be accomplished when politics is laid aside
and the real issues of pay legislation con-
sidered. Adherence to this policy will
facilitate early passage of the too-long-
postponed pay legislation for all Govern
ment personnel.

Mr.. George on Foreign Aid

Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has spoken
out with characteristic clarity and cogency
IN support OF the administrators foreign
aid bill. The bill-which calls for an
outlay of $3.4 billions meant to serve
our own best interests by providing eco
nonic and military help to our friends
and allies throughout the world. AS usual.
however, there are some members OF
Congress who want to make the deepest
kind OF cuts in it-deep enough to render
1t ineffective.
1t Is to these "economiZers" that Mr..
George has addressed himself. In his fine
speech opening Senate debate on the sub
ject, he has made two particularly telling
points: QD "If there are those on this
floor today who would reduce the economic
funds in this bill-who would ask India
or Pakistap or the Near Eastern countries
to look elsewhere for assistance in moving
ahead hand in hand with the free nations
let them weigh the consequences" And
(2) 'If there are among us those who
would drastically reduce these military
assistance funds, they must assume the
burden of proving that the defenses Of
the United States would be stronger with
out foreign bases, without allies and
without foreign troops to fight at our side
should necessity dictate"
In this instance, of course, congress
sional slashing operation could only result
in being helpful to the Kremlin, in both
Europe and Asia, at moment when the
growing unity and strength of the free
world seem to be playing key role in
persuading the Communists to seek at
least temporary abatement Of the cold
war. Clearly, as Mr.. George has warned,
"this is no time for us to begin to trim
little here and little there" as far AZ
foreign aid Is concerned.

LET'S Act on Itr

The Star editorial, May 26.
Lets Act On It'll" performed
q public service in reminding
us Of our potentially grave
shortage Of adequately trained
scientists and engineers. I wish
to add two thoughts evoked by
my own observations.
Cd The number of inter-
ested high school graduates
can be increased not only by
more inspired teaching but by
an adjustment of the balance of
elective and required courses.
I elected biology because my
sister before me had. and be-
cause I had no true conception
of the field of physics. 1t was
only because of a friends chal-
lenging, though casual. re-
mark, Its too tough a sub
ject," that I by chance took
physics as an elective in col
lege: and it was only then that
I met and was thrilled by my
first love the existence of
which I had not even suspected
because an introduction had
never been mandatory.
(2) While striving for an
upswing in interested high
school graduates we have at
hand immediate means for in
creasing our manpower in the
field Of science. Although I
have no personal complaint. I
have observed a common COM
plaint in the research labora-
tories in q number of Govern
ment agencies. The essence Of
these complaints is that there
are not enough supporting
workers. I have met scientists
who were forced to type their
own reports because of insufii-
cient stenographic help. I have
seen them perform simple er-
rands because Of insufficient
messenger help. I have seen
them spend their time as well
as the Governments time and
money performing subprofes-
sional tasks because of lack of
technicians.
Would 1t not be more eco
nomical and more efficient to
add more $3,000-a-year posi-
tions to support the $8,000-a-
year scientists in order that
the latter work 80 per cent Of
their time as $8,000-a-year
men instead of so per cent Of
their time on $8.000-a-year
work and so per cent of their
time on $3,000-a-year work?
Here. then, is q method for
Immediately doubling scientific
and engineering personnel by
creating more clerical, admin
istrative, fiscal and subprofes-
sional support the last of
these categories In itself a po-
tential source of scientific and
