Girl, Is, Ends
Math Study

Tired but thrilled with her
six-week course in mathemat-
les at Florida State University,
Tallahassee, Fla, under the
auspices of the National
Science Foundation, 13-year-
old Victoria Ann Daley of 1916
South Wakefield street, Airing
ton, Va. came home yesterday.
She was one of three students
selected from this area.
She got off the plane at 5
am. at Washington National
Airport, carrying under her
arm a copy of Darwin's "Ori-
gin of Species" She had been
given $40 with which to buy
books, so in addition to secur-
ing books on mathematics, she
bought the paper-backed OAR
win.
Victoria, daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. John T. Daley, was one
of three Washington area chill
dren picked for the course be-
cause of outstanding ability in
mathematics. DR.. Daley, a
cousin of Gov. Price Daniel of
Texas, is with the American
Institute for Research and a
research psychologist who also
is doing work for the University
OF Pittsburgh. His daughter
attends Gunston Junior High
in Arlington and will enter the
ninth grade this fall.
The other Washington area
children who were given the
opportunity to take the sum-
mer college course in mathe-
mates are:
Patricia Jane Page, 16, of
BIS WeStover drive Sc, who
attends Anacostia High School,
She is the daughter of Irving
H. Page, who is with the Naval
Research Laboratory here.

traditional role of seeking out
knowledge. AS DR.. Waterman
expressed it:
I'm both the scientific COM
munity and the Federal Gov
eminent, concern has been ex-
pressed lest outside demands
for the solution of pressing
practical problems jeopardize
the university's traditional role
of education and free research.
On the plus side, however
the colleges and universities
are devoting considerable time
and energy in developing basic
research programs that may
influence the course of civili-
cation.
Basic Research Stressed
1t is generally agreed that il
this country is to keep ahead
of the Soviet Union in the mis-
sile field, in the development
of outer space satellites, or in
scientific areas. emphasis must
be placed upon basic research
1t is also recognized that II
improvements are to be made
in treating mental and emo
tional diseases, or in finding
cures for such killers as cancer
or heart ailments. work will
have to be done in basic re-
search dealing with these prob
lens.
This need is recognized by
DR.. Robert Felix. director OF
the National Institute Of Health
for Mental Disease. His organ
izstion, which is a branch OF
the Federal Government, at
Bethesda. Md, is now sponsor
ing thousands of individual
projects in colleges and uni
versities throughout the Ma
ton. Last year $50 million in
grants were awarded these in
situations.
Cooperate With Government
I'VE hope to get at the heart
Of important problems dealing
with health and mental stress.
DR.. Felix. who is recognized as
one of the Nations foremost
authorities in this area, said
IN an interview.
Through basic research we
can find the Why of situa-
tions that have baffled man
through the age"
The colleges and universities
are ready to cooperate with
the Federal Government. In
deed, the requests for grants
far exceed the supply Of funds
DR.. Felix disclosed that only
one in three requests for prof.
ectS can be awarded. This
ratio probably would hold true
in the National Science Foun-
dalton, the United States Edu-
cation Office, and the other
agencies.
In a sense the research
grants amount to an indirect
way of getting Federal aid.
Without this aid, college presi-
dents say frankly. they would
be in big financial trouble.

reason or another, pulls out
the rug, and discontinues fur
Their grants.
Funds Support $4,000 Students
Some $4,000 graduate stu
dents are supported in whole
or in part through the Gov
eminent grants. A large num-
Der of faculty members, and an
even greater number Of secre-
tarial and clerical workers, are
paid, in greater or lesser de-
gree. through research grants.
There is another fear, which
is even more disturbing, that
gives many informed educators
academic nightmares. With the
great emphasis on science and
technology, will the liberal arts
and humanities suffer? Unless
precautions are taken, they will,
many educators agree.
Only 4 per cent of all funds
that the colleges get for re-
search is earmarked for the
social studies or humanities.
The rest goes for the physical
sciences.
This is far too great an i'm
balance between the physical
and social sciences, the consen-
sus Of educators shows.
Imbalance Worries Educators
There is reason for deep
concern lest we get out of bal
ance," warns DR.. Lawrence G.
Derthick. United States COM
missioner of education. I'VE
must increase research funds for
the humanitieS and the liberal
arts. l do not minimize the
Importance of research in the
sciences, but the time has come
when we should concern our
selves with the social sciences,
too. Many of the Nations
leading scientists are also wor-
ried at the growing imbalance. "
Another concern was ex-
pressed by DR.. Waterman: The
bulk of the funds, both Federal
and industry, goes for applied
rather than basic research.
Only 7 per cent of the $40
billion spent for research in
this country goes for basic re-
search, the rest for applied.
DR.. Waterman explained that
basic research is that type of
research which is directed to-
ward increase of knowledge in
science" Applied research,
on the other hand, attempts to
improve the usefulness of
something, whether it is an
automobile or a concrete house.
Free Research Threatened
The university has always
been identified as the center of
basic research. But a danger
has arisen, the MANA study
shows. that the institutions will
lose this leadership. The lucra-
tive contract grants" and
stress upon applied research,
have combined to turn many
universities away from their

little more than a month, the
country's institutions of higher
learning will receive $500 mil
lion from the Federal Govern
ment for a staggering number
Of research projects.
More than TOO colleges now
receive some form of Federal
aid for research. The rate of
growth, both in terms Of dol
lars received by the colleges
and in terms of institutions
engaged in research work, is
little less than fantastic.
Before World War II. the
amount spent on research in
the colleges was negligible. Only
within the last 5 to 10 years
has the interest come to the
fore.
500 Million for Research
The amount received by the
colleges for research has Just
about doubled in five years.
Although exact figures are not
available, experts Indicate that
10 years ago, not more than
500 million was spent on re-
search.
A survey of existing research
programs in American colleges
and universities. just completed
by the North American News
paper Alliance. suggests that
the United States is now en-
barked upon a gigantic race
to improve its scientific, tech
biological and engineering
know how.
This has been spurred, to
a considerable extent, since
Sputnik frightened many Gov
eminent people in high places.
In addition to the half-bil-
lion dollars in Government
funds which education spends
for research, another sum, es-
timated between $50 million
and 500 million, is contributed
to the colleges by business and
industry. Visit any campus to-
day, large or small. and you
will find it a beehive of re-
search activity.
U. S. Is Research Conscious
Beyond the campuses, the
Nation itself has become re-
search conscious. According to
DR.. Alan T. Waterman, direc-
tor of the National Science
Foundation, the United States
now spends $40 billion annual
Ily for research and develop
ment. Just about half of that
comes from the Federal Gov
eminent, the rest from private
sources, large corporations,
foundations and industry. Be-
fore World War II, this coun-
try spent less than $500 million
for research!
The colleges receive the bulk
of their funds from these
sources: the National Science
Foundation, the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission, and the several
military services.
Educators view the tremen-
dous influx of funds on their
campuSes as unmixed blessings.
A large proportion of the total
operation costs of higher ed
ucation now comes from the
Federal Government. Some
colleges and universities report
that nearly half of their oper-
ating budgets is earmarked
research" Many are worried
at what may happen if the

Beach hosteleries last year re-

Mr.. Lansburgh last year
leaped in with both feet and

der this program, the cream OF
the entertainment world per-
formed solely for guests Of the
hotels, and the guests didn't
pay a penny extra for 1t.
This brought an unprece-

Expanded Program
Not resting on his laurels,
Mr.. Lansburgh plans to con-
tinue his cavalcade as long as
the traffic warrants it this
summer. and as an extra in
ducement has added a Merry
Go-Round" program.
The Merry-Go-Round sched-

Such programs. coupled with
