...Addressed a science research symposium and paid profound respects to the Federal Government's dependence on the world of science...
...story was principally intended as a lightener at a heavyweight symposium on basic scientific research. But it served to point up as serious a message as he has ever delivered. "In my public service," said he, "I have found myself increasingly involved with problems and policies affected by the growth* and impact of science and technology-[now] the cornerstones of American security and American welfare." In short, the day is at hand when U.S. science and the U.S. Government have firmly joined hands to plot the nation's future...
Since World War II, he noted, scientists working in the U.S. have won more than half of the Nobel Prizes in the physical sciences. But there are still too few people at work on basic research (fewer than 30,000, or 4% of U.S. scientists and engineers). What can be done about it? "Regimented research would be, for us, catastrophe," said the President."We must search out the talented individual and cultivate in all American life a heightened appreciation of the importance of excellence and high standards . . . We must be willing to match our increasing investments in material resources with...

...fuels of the space and atom age get more powerful, they also get harder to handle. Last week General Bernard Schriever, new chief of the Air Forces Research and Development Command, announced that liquid hydrogen, until recently hardly more than a laboratory curiosity, is being produced in considerable quantities as a rocket fuel. Liquid hydrogen is tricky stuff; it boils at minus 423° F., only about 37° above absolute zero. If it is not stored in elaborately insulated containers, it quickly turns to hydrogen gas, and a small amount of the gas makes a dangerous explosive mixture with...
