Science Advisor To Cabinet Suggested Says Each Member Should Have Advisor INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The 'president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science said today each member of President Eisenhower's cabinet should have a science advisor to keep pace with the technical age. "I think it’s quite necessary that some intimate knowledge of science be available in each executive department," said Dr. Laur;ence H. Snyder of the University of Oklahoma. Snyder said he was certain Congress will be asked to put the plan in effect when about 500 of the nation’s scientists meet in Washington next year to review “hundreds of proposals” for boosting this country in its technical race with Russia. , Snyder said he would resist any proposal for a new cabinet post of secretary of science because “I don’t think science ought to be compartmentalized that way.” But he said the most urgent need was to send financial aid to the nation’s universities. No Strings Attached “I think that if Congress would supply money to the universities with no strings attached they could find the best way to train scientists and improve science, " he said. Snyder said college laboratories are the best places for basic research, but colleges are “losing their best men to better paying jobs that have to do with applied science.” ■The AAAS closed its 124th meeting here Monday with several resolutions, including one to send a telegram of congratulations to Soviet scientists for their “scientific and technological achievements, including those manifested in the launching of the earth satellites.” Another called for adoption of the metric system of measurements in the United States. Snyder said the one "major breakthrough” reported at the five-day meeting was an unprecedented set of photographs of the sun taken from balloons at a height of 80,000 feet. Wins Cleveland Prise The report won the Newcomb Cleveland prize for thd best scientific paper. It was submitted by Martin Schwarzschild and J.B. Rogerson Jr. of Princeton University, and J.W. Evans of the Sacr ramento Peak Observatory. The pictures were the first taken without clouding effects of the earth’s atmosphere. They should “open up a whole new set of ideas as to what happens to bubbling gases on the sun,” Snyder said. “It was probably the most imaginative thing we’ve had this year," he said. Other papers told of the need for training more scientists and supporting research. Dr. Herbert E. Longenecker of ti)e University of Illinois said besides training more scientists the nation should not overlook the need of the general public for a greater understanding of “science, its people, and its truths." * Need Salary Raise Longenecker said education must "promote the fullest development of each individual's talents and capacities.'’ "Sheer intelligence does not suffice to make a scientist,” he said. Thomas J. Mills of the National Science Foundation implied the salary level of scientists should be raised. "When account is taken of costs of college attendance and salary income foregone during the process, it requires 7 to 8 years employment before the bachelor level scientist or engineer catches

Scout Dangers Os Accidental Blast Accidental Atomic Blast Improbable WASHINGTON (IB — The Defense Department today scoffed at a congressman’s statement that it is “more likely than not” an atomic bomb will explode by accident. Herbert B. Loper, retired major general who is special assistant for atomic energy to Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy, agreed he told Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) such an accidental blast was “a mathematical probability ” However, Loper told newsmen he went on to estimate to Porter that this probability was about one in three billion. "Which means the likelihood of such an acicdental nuclear explosion is practically non-existent,” Loper'added. • These were almost the same words used by former Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson last Feb. 20 when he announced U. S air defenses would use nuclear weapons. Wilson said tests by the Atomic Energy Commission had established that chances of a nuclear explosion were “virtually nonexistent.” Service Tonight At Zion Lutheran Church ’ A New Year’s Eve worship service will be conducted this evening at 7 o’clock at Zion Lutheran church, West Monroe and Eleventh streets. The pastor of the church, the Rev. Edgar P.

Explains Reasons For Going AWOL Air Force Sergeant Explains Reasons WASHINGTON (UP)—A quietmannered Air Force sergeant from Indiana explained today why he turned his back on modern civilization and went AWOL last month to seek solace in a moun-tain-top Shangri-La. He couldn't stand Washington. "I wasn't born for the city, especially the Pentagon," 43-year-old Sgt. David E. Dwyer said. "I felt I couldn't stand it here any longer." Dwyer and his wife, Emily, surprised their friends by taking off suddenly last month for a Shang-ri-La he had discovered years ago in the Arizona wilderness. A nationwide lookout was sent out for the pair and Dwyer, formerly of Lafayette, Ind., decided to give himself up to the FBI in Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 16. He and Emily are now back in their Arlington, Va., apartment while the Air Force decides what to do with him. He will be given a psychiatric examination next month. Dwyer, however, has some definite ideas on just what is "normalcy." He believes most of the country may be out of step on the subject. "It appears to me that man has deviated from the normalcy in which God created him” in banding together in cities, be said. “Does modem man search for . the love and strength of his cre- , ator, alone, under the vast and ' finite majesty of God's open sky," , he asked. Dwyer has spent 14 years in the ' Air Force but never had been assigned to a city until coming here. * Early Practice MUSKEGON, Mich. — (IP) — Muskegon police "blew the whistle” on basketball practice at a school playground and sent the five players to the showers.
