...housing industry. The industry is composed of some of the U.S.'s ruggedest free enterprisers, who work toward a single purpose only when they want Government help. Next needed step: to promote improved housing in the U.S. in other ways besides handing out loans and grants, e.g., through research on housing materials, designs, construction methods, and potential markets...
...Bayne-Jones committee grasped unflinchingly the prickly questions of how good a job the Government agencies are doing and whether there is a danger in letting Big Government get a still bigger role in research. (Its share of costs has zoomed from 32% to more than 50% in ten years.) On the first score the committee concluded: NIH has done a generally excellent job; its system of making grants to universities and independent medical schools and research groups (TIME, Nov. 18) has avoided "the twin dangers of bureaucratic interference with science, leading to loss of freedom by scientists and universities...
...spending enough money on lifesaving medical research? Could such killing and crippling diseases as cancer, heart disorders, arthritis and mental illness be brought under swift control by a crash program like World War II's Manhattan Project? What should be the Federal Government's share in financing research? Informed answers to these questions-literally, matters of life and death for millions-came this week from a committee set up a year ago by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare...
Chaired by Louisiana-born Dr. Stanhope Bayne-Jones, 69, onetime dean of the Yale School of Medicine and lately boss of Army medical research, the committee concluded that things are pretty good now, but the explosive expansion of the last decade in outlays for medical research must go on at least until 1970. The goal then: $900 million to $1 billion a year. In effect: no blitz, but a powerhouse drive down the field...
...years, the U.S. has multiplied its total outlays for medical research by a factor of four (see diagram). The sum will reach at least $400 million in 1958, including $220 million in congressional appropriations. $130 million spent by industry, $50 million by foundations, voluntary health associations, universities and their medical schools. Is this enough? For the present, yes was the consensus of the experts quizzed by Bayne-Jones's group. Or as Dr. James A. Shannon, director of the National Institutes of Health (which handles 70% of the Government's outlays in this field), last year told Congress...
