PILOT PROGRAM TO SPUR SCIENCE EDUCATION
There are approximately 1.1 million scientists and engi
neers in the U. S. today. By 1970, the nation will need a
minimum of 2,032,000, meaning we must find at least 106,000
additional scientists and engineers each year. But the present
rate of graduation is only 80,000 a year, and moreover we
are falling behind the Soviet Union by a yearly deficiency
of 41,000 scientific and engineering graduates. The impli;
cations are serious, the problem not easily solved. Yet, in
New York, the Board of Education and the Radio Corp. of
America have undertaken a pilot program which could set
a pattern by which the rich scientific resources of industry
will be made available to school systems to stimulate student
Interest in scientific careers.
The program is the brainchild of RCA's board chairman,
David Sarnoff, and here he explains how this cooperative
industry-science teaching program may reverse the trend
of our scientific manpower shortages,
i Portari How can you as a private company develop more
scientific personnel throughout the country?
Sarnoff! We can't do it ourselves, nor can any one com
pany, nor can the entire educational system alone, for that
matter. 1
But it Is my hope that this program in New York will
point the way to similar cooperative projects in thousands
of communities. Local industries and local school boards
working together can vastly strengthen science education
and, by exposing students to the excitement of science, can
lead more of them to select careers in this field.
Porter: Where is the money coming from to support your
program?
Samofft The plan, as we have developed it, requires no
extra anDropriation of public funds at either the local, state
or national levels. The RCA scientists are volunteering their
time and preparing their own demonstration equipment with
funds provided by the company, rne enure program is Deing
carried out at minimal expense. This is important, for it
means that hundreds of companies can develop similar pro
grams In their plant communities at little financial sacrifice.
Porteri Industry participation In public school science
teaching has been tested frequently In recent years. What
acts your program apart?
Sarnoffi First, the high degree of Integration of our class
room presentations with the curriculum. Our scientists lec
ture on the subjects of their specialties when these subjects
are being studied by the students. The appearance in the
clnss of a real working scientist and the opportunity to talk
with him imparts a special kind of excitement.
Second, this program is being evaluated carefully by
the school board and the results will be available to any
company or community interested.
Third, and most Important, there Is the conception of
the program as a pattern which can be extc'ndcd from its
test In the nation's largest school system to a national scale.
Porteri How extensive is the program?
Sarnoffi By the time the pilot program is completed next
June, our scientists will have delivered more than 80 lec
tures on subjects primarily related to the space age in four
Junior and senior high schools. We have obviously just
scratched the surface, but, as in everything else, you must
make a start. New York's Board of Education Is giving the
program strong support and we hope that other school boards
will investigate and Work with local industries to start sim
ilar programs of their own.
Portari How did you work out your industry-science
teaching program?
Sarnoili The school board assigned several of Its people
to work with some of our engineering personnel and jointly
they developed the curriculum. In cooperation with the
board we have prepared a booklet which gives the details
and which I'll send to anyone Interested, for if we can get
other programs going across the country we may well re
verse the downward trend in college enrollments in physical
adence programs.
Porteri You arc convinced that development of scientific
personnel Is a responsibility lor industry as well as for our
educators?
Sarnoffi I certainly am, and I also am convinced that
student contact with scientists stimulates Intellectual curi
osity and encourages the pursuit of further scientific knowl
edge. That is all we are trying to do here. We have started
and we earnestly hope others will want to go along.
Record Wages
Barely Keep Up
With Living Cost
Washington 01PD The av
erage American factory work
er earned record high hourly
and weekly wages last year
but the increase barley kept
pace with rising prices, ac
cording to the Labor Depart
ment. Harold Goldstein, chief of
the department's division of
manpower and employment
statistics, said factory em
ployees received an average
wage of $2.42 an hour in De
cember. This was a penny
higher than In November and
a rise of four cents for the
year. '
This brought average fac
tory production wages to
$98.01 a week up 65 cents
from November and 33 cents
above the previous record of
$97.68. This was $1.38 higher
than the average for 1961.' '
Price Index Up
But Goldstein said the con
sumer price index rose an es
timated 1.3 per cent. Thus, he
said, the 1.4 per cent increase
in hourly wages and the 1.7
per cent hike in weekly earn
ings resulted in little real in
come gain.
The factory work week
stood at 40.5 hours in Decem
ber. This was about the same
as the 40.4 hours In the prev
ious month It also roughly
equalled the comparatively
high levels of the entire year.
Transporation equip ment
workers had the longest aver
age work week at 43.4 hours.
They also received the highest
hourly wages of $3.01. This
largely was accounted for by
an everagc of 5.1 hours over
time per wecl. This was the
highest for the Industry since
1956 when expanded automo
bile production also was responsible.
Poll Shows Opera Not Italian Love
Rome - IUHI - A poll of pub
lic opinion has proved some
thing you did not need a poll
for Itnlians love music.
But it also has shown a few
unexpected facets of this
country's musical tastes. Op
era, for Instance, ranks third
rather than first In the pref
erence of Italians, trailing far
behind pop songs and sym
phonic music.
The poll was held by the
"Giovcntu" Muslcalc d'ltalia"
(musical youth of Italy) asso
ciation, which distributed
100,000 questlonaircs to Ital
ians tinder 30 years of age.
In line with this country's
Ufual skepticism about polls,
only 5.017 answered.
The first question, "do you
like music?," was answered af
firmatively by 4.770. Only
247, or fewer than 5 per cent,
said "no."
, But when they were asked
their preferences, the answer
did not fit In with the tradl-

Air Conditioning In Autos Claimed Big Industry
New York - WPD - Persons
who own and drive automo
biles include an increasing
group who like to ride in air
conditioning, a Midwestern
manufacturer says.
Automobile sales have been
one of the sturdiest pillars of
the economy.
Optional equipment sales
have climbed, too. Steven P.
J. Wood, president of a com
pany which provides air con
ditioning components to two
major automobile makers and
to most of the makers of
"hang on" units those
which can be added away
from the original plant said
he believes that during the
current year, air conditioning
for autos may reach $500 mil
lion. Bound To Grow
Wood has for some time
been forecasting that air con
ditioning units in automobiles
were bound to grow in num
bers. He is president of War
ner Electric Brake & Clutch
Co. of Beloit, Wis., and among
the varied products of his
company is one for auto air
conditioning units. It is a
compressor clutch which auto
matically disengages the com
pressor when the cooling sys
tem is turned off.
The sales of this Item have
put Wood into a good position
to watch the growth of the
auto unit.
First Units Bulky
Although refrigerant air
conditioning for automobiles
was available as early at 1937,
it didn't have too much suc
cess until late in (he 1940s.
At first the units were custom
made and cost from $900 to
$1,400. They were bulky. Now
they have shrunk in size, and
add from about $300 to $500
to the cost of a car.
Wood believes about 4 per
cent of the compacts on the
road in 1963 will be air con
ditioned and perhaps as high
as 70 per cent of the high
priced cars.
