who ever lived. When he began
work on elements with heavier
masses than uranium, there
were believed to be only 9S
basic substances in the uni

A positive program" to help
ease health costs of the aged
will be presented by the ad-
miniStration to the next session
of Congress, the Secretary of
Health, Education, and We'll
fare said today.
Secretary Flemming said he
could not spell out the precise
recommendations at this time.
But he declared that his de-
partment will carry through on
a promise" to Congress to
see "if it is possible for the
Federal Government to be as
sistance TO voluntary insurance
programs to meet the need"
In an address to the Amer
lean Public Welfare Associa-
ton, Mr.. Flemming also said
he will press for funds for well
fare research in the next seq
sion OF Congress by eliminat-
ing requests for money to train
welfare workers.
Matter of Strategy"
The Welfare Secretary noted
that the only two items Con-
gresS did not approve or in
crease in his recent budget re-
quests were those asking for
money for welfare research
and training.
He said he decided after
talking with Congressman that
the training provision is the
stumbling block" since legs
lators feel the States are not
doing their share.

convictions on training. in the
next session of Congress we
will concentrate on research
provisions" he declared, add
ing this is a matter of stra-
tegy only" Mr.. Flemming
said that $750,000 was sought
to get q research program
started this year. and $1.1 mil
lion was requested for training.
Mr.. Fleming pointed out that
no money at all is being spent
by the Federal Government on
welfare research to prevent
dependency, while 81 billion is
put out yearly in Federal money
for relief grants.
Discusses Children Grants
On the other hand, he said.
hundreds Of millions" are
being invested in medical re-
search. The Secretary was ap-
plauded when he declared,
May I state my own conviction
that those working in the well
fare field need to develop more
effective techniques Of political
action"
The Secretary addressed the
opening session of the four-day
National Biennial Roundtable
Conference of the American
Public Welfare Association at
the Statler-Hilton Hotel.
Mr.. Flemming called for
elimination of residence re-
quirements for relief. and said
that Aid to Dependent Chill
dren public assistance grants
should be given on the basis
Of he need of the child, not
the presence or absence of the
father"
The session today was
opened by Gerard M. Shea, di-
rector of the District Public
Welfare Department and CO.
host Of the conference. The
delegates were welcomed to the
city by District Commissioner

work in nuclear chemistry
today with "devout and prayer
full hope that the future will

Continuing Work
Meeting with reporters be-
fore the ceremony DR.. Seabrog
said work is continuing in re-
search which he hopes will
lead to the discovery of even
more chemical elements.
The California scientist gave
his backing to plans TO build
a special reactor at Oak Ridge,
Tenn, to provide materials
which can be used in the quest
of new elements. Such a re-
actor he said, would cost about
$40 to $12 million.
DR.. Seaborg was asked, How
does it feel to get $50, 900 tax

to do with it?"
