SUPPORT OF RESEARCH.

The article offers information on research support. Of the 238 ten-minute-papers which were presented at the American Physical Society congress in Washington, D. C. on April 26 to 28, 1951, 165 of them were supported in part or in full by various government agencies. It is noted that 111 were supported by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This move by different government agencies and the AEC is seen to forward the ongoing research on the use of nuclear energy and other developments related to this field.
