Captain C. W.

Lee, head of the Office of Naval Re search, said ONR now has about 700 basic research projects “in 132 colleges, universities and non-profit institutions. “By the end of this fiscal year,” he said, “we will have obligated approximately $53,000, 000 for the support of this pro gram.” Asserting that “one - of the most serious problems we face today is the participation of scientists in our federal govern ment,” Admiral Lee said: “It is my hope that there be built up in this country a tradi tion that scientists should devote a portion of their careers to gov ernment service. I believe this to be their duty, not only to our country, but to science as well.” Obituaries ASA L. CROOM As Lowe Croom, 39, of Bur gaw, died at Veterans Facility hospital, Oteen, N. C. December 26.
