Office of Education be cause of the shortage of engi neering and ■ other technical graduates for government work and defense industries.

W. Gauger, head of the MI research school, upon his return from a joint hearing of House and Sen ate mines committees held at Harrisburg Tuesday. • Dean Steidle urged passage of the bill, saying that if appropria tions were not made, a relapse to a decade ago, when the school possessed a “beautiful physical plant but nothing else,” would probably occur. One bill asks for $75,000 and an equal sum from coal indus tries. This-amount would cover research in coal only. The other bill, to provide funds for research in all fields of min eral industries, requests $125,- 000 from the state and $50,000 from all mineral industries.
