The advance in accreditation was accorded by the Accrediting Commission of Business Schools, ; Washington, D.C., and approved by the U.S. Commissioner of Education. Pharmaceutical Industry Leads It's no news to most Americans that intensive medical and pharmaceutical research is behind a great majority of the new drugs used so successfully today to combat such one-tim- e killers as tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza and many other diseases. The greater part of the research involves the development of new medicines or of new production methods to lower the costs of medicines and thus bring them to more people. But there is another kind of research which is equally, important to the pharmaceutical industry, the Health News Institute points out. That is basic research. Basic research brings in no dollar profits; devises no sale-able products; creates no new production shortcuts. .Yet, according to a study conducted by Science, American industry in 1953 spent more than $150,000,000 and utilized the talents of almost 6000 scientists in what the National Science Foundation has defined as "projects which are not identified with specific product or process applications, but rather have the primary objective of adding to the overall scientific knowledge." To conduct its share of basic research, the pharmaceutical industry employed more than 850 scientists in 1953. These researchers published more than 600 papers on their work I approximately 20 per cent of all basic research studies pub-lished in that year. In 1953, basic research cost the pharmaceutical industry more than $16,000,000. This came to more than ten per cent of all the money spent by private industry on basic research, and from 20 to 25 per cent of the pharmaceutical industry total research budget. In comparison, all American industry during that year spent an average of about four per cent of the total research budget on basic research. , The largest pharmaceutical manufacturers alone spent al-most $11,000,000 on basic research in 1953. In comparison, the 115 largest petroleum companies spent $10,000,000 on basic research; thel09 largest chemical companies spent $18 million on basic research, and the 186 largest manufacturers of electrical equipment also spent $178,000,000 on basic research. The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry employed more basic researchers per 1,000 employees, 4.5, than any other in-dustry. The chemical industry employs 1.27 basic researchers per 1,000 employees and the electrical equipment industry only .43 per 1,000 employees. The Parties Look at Science (Continued from Page 1) agency to investigate scientific problems of keeping the peace; they want the government to spend a "sizeable amount" in this work. But the biggest difference is in the essential nature of the reports. The Republican group concerns itself with charting the probable course of scientific development, frets over the pre-rogatives of "private resources," calls for patent protection for "commercial application of inventions" and echoes the Presi-dent's budgetary timidity. The Democratic proposal, on the other hand, crackles with ideas. Its primary demand is for a scientific approach to dis-armament through the development of superior seismographic detection as well as satellite reconnaissance, to make control really possible. It suggests scientific inquiry into foreign aid whether, for instance, better vaccines or better bullock carts would best aid India. And itcontemplates that the U. S. agency it suggests might eventually become an international instrument for aiding the peace. It is, in fact, an adventurous fearless and thoughtful docu-ment. The Republican report, by contrast, smacks of Eisenhower, smells of Wall Street and is tainted with Grand Old aPrty guff. Above editorial is reprinted from the Nashville Tennessean. Miscellaneous Notices City Workers Demand Wage Boost First; Improvements Later Employes of non-civ- il service departments of Salt Lake City government this week demanded "wage adjustments first, capital improvements with what is left. Some 200 employes, meeting in city commission chambers to hear a progress report on their demands for wage increases and an ordinance encompassing pre-viously recommended job evalu-ation program wage scales. Clarence L. Palmer, national AFL-CI- O field representative, urged the employes to first gain acceptance by the city commis-sion of an ordinance encompass ing the proposed wage program. He told the workers, "If there is any left after that then we'll fight for more." Harry Sneed, staff representa-tive, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employes, told the meeting that the city commission had com-mitted itself to adoption of the job evaluation program by De-cember 1. . Many a failure can be attribut-ed to the fact that a man keeps to big an account with bad luck in his mental .bo.okkeeping. What is the best government? That which teaches us to govern ourselves.

SAPERSTEIN, Receiver K & T Builders (11-2- 7) Man Towns Use Refuse to Create Beauty Spots Until last year the Smith town, N. Y., town dump was a smoky, fuming, rat-breedi- ng horror; then a transformation began, and soon it will be officially opened as a recreation area, with rolling lawns, playgrounds, flowers and shrubs. The cost: a little more than a dollar apiece for each of Smithtown's 40,000 citizens. In Seattle, 70 acres of swampland have been converted into a parking lot and athletic field for the University of Washington. A similar waste area in Elmhurst, 111., is being changed into tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and rolling mounds for winter sledding. The foundation in each of these transformaations, reported in the December Reader's Digest, is "sanitary landfill" a new method of refuse disposal that benefits everyone. All that is needed is "a bulldozer, a hole in the ground and good planning." According to public works officials, 60 per cent of U. S. towns, and cities have serious disposal problems. Refuse from a town of 50,000 will fill five acres of land 15 feet deep every year. Spread flat with a bulldozer and covered with two feet of earth often available from highway builders and others in construction fields it can be built up into usable, beautiful land. Los Angeles is filling in an entire canyon with its trash. It expects to have baseball diamonds, tennis courts and other facilities for use in six years. Niagara Falls, N. Y., is filling an abandoned mile long canal which once served a hydroelectric station. i Not only does the method turn bad land into good, but it can be used right in the heart of town, saving the expense of hauling refuse to the outskirts. To dispel the fears of citizens reluctant to approve such downtown dumping, Birmingham, Ala., and Westport, Conn., held public tea parties smack on top of the reclaimed land. nOn best shot in the Weot! ill I UMTuan "ib Mm 159 the GtteSiMuCztoC o J a & KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY SINCE 1810 86 Proof... wATEtnu an fiaziek bistuieiy (o.. iaibstowii, Kentucky Everything great is not always good, but all good things are great.
