fications are not availble.
Most Of the refugee scientists
are young. The average age OF
all the Hungarians at Camp Kill
mer is only q little over rs years.
In such a group. DR.. Atwood
points out. there naturally are
no world famous figures. Years
are required to achieve high
scientific recognition So. for the
most part. men Of recognized
distinction have remained in
Hungary. They were too old TO
take much part In the revolu-
ton. They have established posi-
lions which they would not be
inclined to give UP.
Differences Come TO Light
The screening process. DR.. At
wood says, is revealing basic diff
ferences between Hungarian
for that matter. most East
European-and American edu-
cational methods. In this coun-
try higher education is open to
almost everybody under the
theory Of education for the
masses" In Hungary only the
ablest students In the elementary
schools have been selected to at
tend universities.
Once there the educational
process is one of extreme spe-
cialization. For example, a man
is listed as a telephone engineer.
The screening shows that he Is
probably a supreme expert on
one feature of telephone sys-
TENS, but knows little about
other features. But American
industry has great need for just
such men,.
A curious feature revealed by
the screening procedure is that
as a rule husbands and wives
are experts in the same line.
This is explained, the screeners
believe, by the fact that the ed
ucational system is so rigid there
is practically no social life. Men
and women have opportunities To
get acquainted only In the same
classrooms.
One unusual combination UNI
covered. however, was that Of q
woman Ph.D., listed as q plant
pathologist and entomologist. "

Senator Russell wanted to
know why the United States

other areas, instead Of passing
this resolution.
Mr.. Byroade said 1t is because
Iof the hostility in that part of

troubles him more than any
