0 1 U. S. Spending Millions To Aid Work Of Science By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, UP) To find various ways of making life long and better and short and awful, the government is spend ing almost SI 1-2 billion this year on scientific reasearch. The work ranges all the wav from work on cancer and heart and synthetic rubber to atomic energy for better bombs and weapons for the army, navy, and air force. The military forces are getting more than half the money be ing spent on research. In a talk to a group of scien tists, John R. Steelman, assist ant to President Truman, told some of the story. He said: . "The importance of science to our national life has been dram atized for all Americans by the atom bomb and the tremendous potentialities of atomic power, but on a thousand less publicized fronts the researcher and the technician are working together in me searcn ior trutn "As the president said. . . .-. the knowledge that we have now is but a fraction of the knowledge that we must get, whether for peaceful purposes or national de- fense." Agenda of Subjects I The government's budget for i sciemmc researcn inis year to 1 tals $1,380,000,000. It breaks down this way, with a brief ex 1 planation for each field: Atomic energy $320,000,000. . this includes benefits to medicine and other fields of life, besides the bomb. i Federal security administrat ion, $42,000,000 this goes Into research for public health, including cancer, heart disease, infantile paralysis. General services administrat ion, $31,000,000. . . .this includes building laboratores for other agencies. National advisory commit tee on aviation, $70,000,000. , . . this committee is made up of civilians and military men. Al most all of this work is being done in government laboratories. Tennessee Valley authority, $24,000,000. '. ; .this includes de velopment of fertilizer. Agriculture - department, $5 5, 000,000. .. .this goes into gov ernment experiment stations all over the country, livestock, crops. Commercial Department, $19, 000,000 ... this includes the national bureau of standards and the weather bureau, better air navigation systems, j. National defense, $750,000,000. . . . .this includes research on weapons by army,, navy, air force. Interior department, $46,000 000. , ...this includes geological surveys In search for minerals. Universities Given Rid All others (including maritime commission, state department, reconstruction finance corporat ion), $23,000,000. . . .this ranges from development of cultural re lations with other countries, par ticularly Latin America, to syn thetic rubber and the making of artificial limbs for veterans. About $425,000,000 of the monev is being spent in non-government laboratories, going to universit ies and industry for various pur- oses. Federal research in col eges and universities is costing about $100,000,000. Said Steelman: "Federal re search funds constitute a sub stantial portion of the research budget In many institutions, of ten averaging well over 50 per cent of their entire research bud get. The rest of the $425,000,000 go ing into non-government labora toriesor about $325,000,000 1 s being spent in industrial labora tories. So industry is benefited by the program. In 1929 the total private and governmental spending on re search was only about $166,000-000.

Ship Competition Policy Explained WASHINGTON UP) The In terior department says the "need for some element of competition in steamship lines servng Alas ka" has been apparent and has caused it to divide shipments to the territory among west coast ports. Rep. Holmes (R-Wash), who had inquired of the department as to why It had diverted some Alaskan shipments from Seattle to Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, made public the de partment's reply Friday. "Briefly stated" the Interior de partment said, "It is the policy of the Alaska railroad and other agencies of this department to ship supplies and equipment to Alaska by the method and route that will result in the lowest cost. There are occasional exceptions to this rule where considerations of timing and delivery make it to the interest of the government to do otherwise. "We beleve that It Is desirable to develop trade with Alaska originating not only In Seattle, hut also fn other Parifin ports. If the cost Is approximately the same, then we try to divide rail road and other cargo fairly among competing lines available. This policy has resulted in a division of government freight traffic between Seattle and other Pa dfic coast ports." The department said It decided to divide the Alaska traffic AMERICANS LIVING LONGER NEW YORK UP) Population statistics for the United States shows that approximately 6.8 percent are 65 years of age or over compared with 2.7 percent in 1860. It Is estimated that at the current rate of Increased age the ratio will have gone to 13.2 percent at the end of the century. nmonc nil west coant lines "only after full consideration had been given to the needs of the Alas ka trade," including procurement for the Alaska railroad and the Alaska road commission. "The apparent need for some element of competition In steam ship lines serving the territory also was an Important factor," It added. Town Rallies To Retain Its Only Resident Doctor BLOCK ISLAND, R. I.-UB Aroused year-round residents of this popular summer resort is land have made It possible for Dr. Lorenzo Orlando to stay on as the only resident physician Dr. Orlando announced last week he would have to leave the island 12 miles off the main land although he didn't want to. He gave as reasons small fees, high rent and lack of equipment. Two hundred of the island's 800 residents met. The town council was meeting in a library nearby. Thurt., Dec. 8, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 The citizens' meeting began warming up after about an hour's discussion. Shouts of "Let's go get the town council members and bring them here" and "Where's the X-Ray that could have savtd my husband's life? 'rang through the hall. A committee was appointed to tell the council that "people from all sections of the -Island want you to come over and answer some questions." The council came and heard the residents say emphatically: "We do not want our doctor to leave." Finally the council voted to purchase $4,000 worth of equip ment immediately for the doc tor's office. The islanders bsued a call for a special town meeting within ten days to ease the burden of the $1,200 annual rental the doc tor pays for his home and office. As the folks filed out, Dr. Or lando shook hands with each of them. In a choked voice he said: 'I wanted to stay. ,1 love this is land." . Dr. Oiianuo tame iitae Xiom Hackensack, N. J., a year ago with his wife and two sons. They made the trip from the main land in a former landing craft which carried their furniture. There are about 180 species of holly of which about a dozen grow in the United States. t ( msssasamm When we opened the Roseburg City Drive In Market WE KNEW our prices were the lowest. However, due to our lack of experience in a store of this size, we made several mistakes in lining up our merchandise and arranging displays, making it imperative to bring in a top experienced grocery man. The only man we knew who fitted this demand was Mr. "Jerry' Gilbo, who left his growing insurance business for three months, to rearrange our store in to a new, modern, convenient self service shopping center.
