CLOSER LIAISON PLAN
SCIENTISTS AND PUBLIC MORE INFORMATION OFFERED (Rec. 1 a.m.) LONDON, July 8. The committee of the Empire Scientific Conference recommended the establishment of an Institute of Scientific Information to maintain research records and link scientists and those disseminating information. It claimed that such an institute would educate the public to appreciate the methods, possibilities, benefits, and menaces of science by maintaining records, advising and assisting the information of media, and recommending publicity methods for issuing official information. The institute should be endowed partly from official and partly from independent sources. It should be allowed a large measure of freedom to present scientific information to the public accurately, rapidly, and satisfyingly in controversial guises.
