Jan. 28 course, thought is being given to offering only one science field each summer.
The Science Society publishes the Science Journal, arranges Science Fairs, Teacher Institutes, etc. Leaders of the Society are also connected with the Research Council and have influential contacts with the Ministry of Education and other government offices. The society is supported to some extent by the government 100,000 bahts a year ($500). At the present time the president of the Executive Committee of the Natl Research Council is also chairman of the Science Society.
Dr. Dart and I also visited Mr. Graham J. Lucas of the Asia Foundation (P.O. Box 1910, Ph. 3-1962). Lucas said Pradeth is an able man but has difficulty in delegating responsibility. He remarked that the Natl Research Council was mostly a paper organ but that one of its divisions, the National Document Center was a start toward something solid. Lucas is a tall, business-like man, balding, in his late 40s or early 50s? He suggested it would be good for us to see A.L. Gardner, a UNESCO documentation man, who touches on science matters.
