;Enlist Scientists For llcfeiice Work

SYDNEY. Australia, Feb. 2-- fCP)-The Australian government has set tip ll committee of leading scientists to see how science can best serve defence needs.

Its members are Dr. Ian Ciunies Ross. chairman of the Common- wealth Scientific .iintl Industrial Research Organizations; John P. Buxtcr. professor of chemical en- ginccring, Sydney; Leslie ll. Mar- tin, chairman of ti government de- fence rcscarch and development commlilcc and Melbourne physics professor anti William H. Tucker, a senior piibiic servant.

Prime Minister Menzies says the committee will study how many scientists Australia is going to nee-ti and how she can supply them. and how the country can make best use of her scientific re-

sources without upsetting too much other scientific work. This committee is, in part, an

answer to conclusions reached by 50 of Australia's top scientists at a seminar at Canberra last year. They agreed after long discussion that Australia had no effective liaison in science-industry, un- iversities and various government. establishments all went their sep- arate ways--and scientific touching here wits, to say the best of it, patchy.

British Politician Backs Native Tribe

TOWBRIDGE, England. Feb. 2 -(CP)-Philip Fothergiii. pros- ldent of the Liberal party, said in a speech here that one of the most. disquieting features of life in Britain today is the prevailing in- difference to moral issues.

Folherglll singled out the case of Rev. Michael Scott, who had giv'cn evidence before the United Nations in Paris concerning the slight of-a native tribe in South-

cst Africa.

"There was a time," said Fath- ergili, "when Britain would have been aflume over this case, witch the sight of this frail, saintly figure championing the cause of an inartlculate and persecuted minority not. only against the bru- tel tyranny of authoritarian pow- er but also in the face of official British opposition would have un- ited all the moral and sporting instincts of the nation in st fury of righteous indignation.

"What has happened to Britain? Is one government after another to be hypnotized by Maian? (Prime Minister Malan of South Africa). Have we all reached such 8 low ebb that no iniquity er injustice can move us?

"if anybody believes that. the price of peace in Africa is our acquiescence in the exploitation of native population! the sooner this utterly foolish and dangerous im- pression is dispelled the better." (Britain has supported South Africa's stand on Southwest Af-

Seeklievision Of Strategy in Formosan Area

By JOHN M. HIGI-ITOWER

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3 - (AP) -- Nationalist China's neutralized forces in the island of Formosa are rapidly nearing the point. of de- terioration, according to reports received by the United States De- fence Department.

Withlthis and other problems in mind. some officials responsible for Far Eastern policies are trying to obtain top level reconsideration of Allied grand strategy in that part of the world. Their purpose is to sec whether the free nations can- not. switch from 9. basically defen- sive strategy to more dynamic pol- icies which would put the Chinese Reds more on the defensive.

One difficulty in the way of car- rying out a policy change is the attitude of Western Europe. Some of the countries fear the United States will embark on a wild ven- ture that will either set off a big war or so drain away U.S. milit- ary resources as to threaten the defensive buildup in Europe.
