Blakeslee New York, March 17. (JFy For the third time in history, the United States Is trying to set up an agency to make sure that peacetime discoveries of science are made to the cause of national security. The new agency is the research board for national-security, which held its first meeting in Washington this month. The first attempt to insure a liaison with civilian science was made in the civil war when congress "set up the national academy of sciences. The academy was a direct aid in that war.

But it failed to function as a peace time security mostly for two reasons: One, congress gave the academy no authority or means to -initiate anything; two, military and civilian defense liaison was broken. In World war one the second 3 attempt was made in the form of the national defense research council. It was set up under the national academy, functioned in a big way during the war and, it was hoped, would be able to carry in peace. For more than 10 years the scientists on the council tried. This time the failure was due to lack of an effective means for getting their ideas and findings before the top military men.

A further reason O'was the nation's attitude for disarmament.

For that reason the secretaries of and navy initiated the new research board for national security, Jvhich is to take over after peace -comes. The difference between this and previous attempts is a set-up which apparently will put the country's top scientists in direct touch with the top military men. They will not have to go up through lower rungs of a long military ladder.

Funds for this new board probably will depend on congress. The research board has 40 members, nine generals, ten admirals and 21 scientists, one an ex-officer.

"There is no Intention to consider at the San Francisco conference any specific issue, such as frontiers, or the terms of individual peace settlements."
