The
Rambler
Looks at
The List
By JOHN McKELwAY

AT the National Institutes of
Health, 1t is known simply as
"The List"
It was compiled about a
year ago by an aide in the
office of Senator Douglas,
Democrat Of Illinois. The SEN
ator had tried to make the
point, In a speech, that the
Government could certainly
afford more research on the
drug krebiozen-said by some
doctors to be effective in the
treatment Of cancer-if It
could spend $s.2O5 on the So
cial role Of the aging wild
ungulate.
Or, s26,565 for a study of
silent thinking.
Or. sls.se5 to examine red
tuna and yellow fat disease in
the cat.
Or, s6l,os5 for the initiation
and support of a colony of
balloons.
Or. $2O.Oo2 to study disease
In a giant snail.
There we're 81 items on the
list, selected from an NH
publication listing some TO-
900 other grants in Federal
funds to scientists throughout
the country and the world.
The list attracted quite a lot
Of attention. NH was ridi-
culed and Congressman began
getting letters questioning
whether the United States
was now embarking on an
aid-to-baboons program.
More recently, a few weeks
back, the list again appeared
in the Congressional Record,
dropped in this time by Rep
resentative Snyder, Republi-
can Of Kentucky. as an ex-
ample Of where to begin to cut
the budget If. indeed, the
budget was going to be cut.
Once again. "The List"
caused a furry of questions.
The Rambler decided it was
time he got out to NH to see
II anything had been turned
up on old wild ungulates. or
silent thinking, or balloons.

After emerging from a two
hour meeting with the Commits

the Department Of General Ad-

result in postponement Of con-
struction Of needed school
buildings and facilities.
Asked If the city could afford
such delay. DR.. Hansen replied
that IL could not.
"It would result in the piline
up Of overcrowded conditions in
our schools" he said. 1T would
short-change our children.

'It would require youngsters
to attend school in substandarc
classrooms and result in more
dropouts - children on the

Administrators recommenda-
tions are adapted, the schools
system will find it increas-
ingly difficult to attract new
teachers.
The District Board Of Edu-
cation had proposed d $12O

1T is PROBABLY true that
the grant program at NH is
one Of the most difficult and
ticklish to administer in
Washington. 1t is often mis-
understood.
In the current fiscal year
about STA million is being
handed out for research-not
in Bethesda. but across the
country. This amounts to so
per cent Of the Institutes
budget Of $3.50 million.
Most Of 1t goes for what
might be called pure" re-
search. 1t is a scientists way
Of describing what he would
like to look for even if he is
not too sure Of what he might
find. But, at the same time.
he is not about to go into ex-
haustive detail on paper try
ing to explain what he wants
to do. He Just suggests.
NH has an elaborate COM
mittee system, made up Of
both Government and nom
Government scientists, which
screens grant requests each
year. In the beginning, there
were few strings attached to
any grant. About the only
thing NH ever asked Of a
recipient was that it get a
copy of what the scientist
might publish upon compile
ton Of a grant-supported sub
ject.
The program has been
tightened up lately. There is
more accounting of the money
spent and more scientists are
being asked if they've ac-
complished anything. More
scientists are denied requests
and more scientists are saying
stiffer controls viii lead to less
research. more red tape, more
bureaucrats.

Eligibility

While eligibility for CT loans
has been running out for World War
II veterans daily since July Is,
1862, the same formula does not
apply to unremarried widows OF
World War IL veterans whose
death was due to service
connected disabilitie S, it was noted
by Wayne Sanders, Mana ger of
VAS Arizona Regional Office.
These widows have the maxi
mum entitlement for the World
War ii group which extends until
July IS, 1867.
Eligibility for Korean Conflict
veterans does not begin to expire
until January 81. 1865, and their
maximum entitlement extends to
January 81, 1875. Unremarried
widows of Korean Conflict vete-
rams whose death was due to
service-comected disabilities en-
10y the maximum entitlement to
the 1875 date.
The same formula is applied
to determine the eligibility OF
both World War Ii and Korean
Conflict veterans, Sanders said.
Veterans of World War II with 90
days of active service and dis
charge other than dishonorable
have entitlement for ten years
from the last di barge from
active wartime service plus an
additional year for each three
months of such service.
Basic eligibility requirements
are the same for Korean Conflict
veterans but in no event will their
ten-year period begin after Jan.
81, 1855, should their discharge
have occurred at a later date.
