Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON -tNEA)- Growth of Washington into one of the leading scientific centers, in America points up that the U.S. capital can be many things to different people. It all depends you are looking for.

Negatively, Washington is a city of lobbyists, labor leaders, lawyers, legislators, bureaucrats, foreign diplomats, fixers, five-per-cenlers, seekers after special privilege. It has slums. It has a crime problem that is staggering. To many outsiders, Washington is a pain in the neck. It is the seat of big government.

And people who want to continue living in tight little worlds of their own, as their ancestors did, don't like the idea. They think of Washington primarily as the cause ol high taxes. Before the world wars, Washin, ton was a hot and sleepy small town. It is still the world's largest small town. But along with all those bad points, "it has good ones.

TO TOURISTS WHO COME HERE by the million, Washington is cherry blossoms, the Lincoln anc Jefferson memorials. Washington Monument, the FBI tour, the White House, the Capitol, the Tomb of the Unknowns and Mount Vernon-to name the lop-ten attractions. It was only natural that a with rubbernecking such as these should become a convention city. There are 450 con ventions already booked for 1960 Though Washington has had the Library of since 1800-3b million publications now-thc city is just beginning to emerge as a cult ural center. Opening of the Melloi Art gallery in 1941 was the starter Some day, the city hopes to have a cultural center for its symphony opera society, ballet and cxperi mental theater.

Government trust funds for social security and other insurance programs total 1 billion. And this is the home of he national debt of 290 billion. It should be no surprise that a with all these assets would in liis day and age become a scienti- ic capital. Yet this has 'come only the last 15 or 20 years. The size of this development vas emphasized the other.

IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING of a growing Vashington has been without, except for government. Most of this is on government project research is scattered throughout the nation's universities. But these private research cen- ers employ 16,000 naif the total in the Washington area. The other hall work directly the government.

They are in such old and famous institutions as National Bureau of Standards, Department of Agricul lure's Beltsville Experiment Sta tion, Food and Administra lion, Office of Naval Research. On lop of these is a bigger group of newer scientific agencies: Atomic Energy Commission National Institutes of Health, Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration Department of Do tense Research and Engineering National Science Foundation. Dr. Alan T. Waterman, directo of the foundation, has just told Con gress that of the 12 and four-tenth billion dollars being spent on re search this year, half is govern ment money.

This is what make Washington the scientific capit of the free world. THERE HAS BEEN 0 CONCERN among scientists lha if disarmament should ever be come a reality and not just dream, the source of the research funds would dry up. But there is no reason why i should.
