Science in Government Urged to Use Research
Washington reports that President Roosevelt was urged by his retiring science advisory board to create a permanent science advisory service. The board, after two and a half years, proposed a national body to assist departments with research and expert judgment to guide policy. Dr Karl T. Compton of MIT led the board, stressing science must not be left to chance for national welfare. The academy was asked to provide a single agency to carry on the work, and the board proposed 3.5 million dollars for government grants and two years of industrial and medical research funding.

Conference of industry and labor leaders planned in Washington
Plans for a December 9 conference in Washington open the door to a possible free for all over New Deal policies. George Berry, coordinator for industrial cooperation, says the event is industry’s party with 48 industry group meetings and 13 labor groups. Attendees will join any group, later forming a general council to draft recommendations on recovery, unemployment, and standards. Rory will address the opening and depart, leaving 2,500 delegates to debate. Berry hints at a permanent council, while some administration officials fear a backfire against the New Deal. Many attendees represent chambers of commerce or manufacturers associations and seek less government intervention. Precautions will separate industry and labor after the first meeting.
