program through which it
hopes to enhance the role of
universities in the space race
by providing:
Training Grants
-TrainitiK grants to schools
with top students seeking doc-
tor's degrees in space-related
fields.
-Research grants to support
independent space science in

The most immediate goal,
according to NASA Admini
strator James E. Webb, is "to
assure a continuing supply
of scientific and technical
manpower." But there are
broader aspects.
More Active In Effort
The agency wants univer
sities to become more active
in the space effort. Webb
said NASA hopes "to make
the university a center for
developing men with eager,
trained, self - starting minds
and also a center of creative
activity in basic research in

The American Widow
In a remarkable little sta
tistical bulletin put out by
the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company
for November,
1962, I find
an article on
widows. The
author states
that during
the past two
decades, t h c
number of
widows in
arez mis couniiy
has been growing by more
than 100,000 a year. Today,
there are some eight and a
quarter million widows in the
United States, and their num
ber is rising rapidly.
It seems interesting that
there are four widows to one
widower. This is due partly
to the higher mortality among
men, and also to the fact that
there is a higher re-marriage
rate among widowers.
In 1961. almost three-fifths!
of the widows in the United I
States were 65 years of age
or older. About a tenth of all i
women between the ages of
48 and 54 are widows, and the
number goes up to 69 per cent
at the age of 75 and over. Of
th'e 550,000 women whose
husbands died in 1961, about j
90,000 were under the age
Of 45. Over half of all the!
widows were under 60 years
of age.
According to the bulletin,
three-fourths of the women
who became widows at age .
45 can expect to live another
28 years. I am much interest
ed to learn that more than
two-thirds of all widows j
maintain a household of their i
own. Many have children or
Other relatives living with
them. Most other widows live
in the home of a relative
Only about six per cent of
the widows live alone.
Financial Problems
Many 'widows face serious
financial problems, and it is i
not always easy for them to
find a job About a third of
them some two and a half
million are working women; I
many work only part-time.
Many, when the husband dies.

long time. Perhaps they nev

it is hard for them to begin.
! Fortunately, many husbands
leave a sufficient amount of
! life insurance for their wid
iows to live comfortably the
average amount of this life in-
surance is now about $11,000.

I in 1951. It would be wonder

Next year the agency plans
to expand the program to sup

universities.
The grants are Intended to
do more than just pay one
student's graduate school tui
tion, according to Dr. Thomas
K. Smull, director of NASA's
office of grants and research,
which handles the university
program. He said NASA hopes
the money it pays out for tui
tion will be used to strength

space-related sciences.
To encourage use of the
funds for this purpose. NASA
awards the training grants to
the participating university
rather than to the individual

said, it receives funds equal
to the fees a student would
otherwise have to pay him

grant to build up any one of
its space science departments.
For example, Smull explain
ed, a school which asks for
money to support a chemistry
student may use the funds

To qualify for the training
grants, the universities must
first submit proposals of what

money they would receive.
NASA then selects schools
for the program on the basis
of:
Scholastic accreditation
ratings.
Resources such as labor
atories, equipment, libraries
and faculty.

The quality of its science

Selected Br Faculty
Students will be selected
for the program by faculty
members in a position to

their training, they will work

space related projects. Such

NASA hopes, will provide
"additional motivation for the

After receiving their de

there will be plenty of open
