Dr. Frankel declared private initia- tive and funds are usually necessary to demonstrate the practical useful- ness of scientific discoveries which contribute to the prevention of dis- ease before they are widely applied to the community in general.

The demonstration is under the joint auspices of the National €hild Health Council and the citizens of Richland county and is to continue for five years.

Smith said a Mr. Cutler, described as assistant president of the Groton company. argued that such arrange- ments frequently were entered into by large manufacturers. Testimony covering checks given by the Morse concerns for materials occupied much of the witness' time on the stand. On September 5. 1917, sixteen days after the first conference, Smith said that B. W. Morse and Irwin A. Morse, president of the Groton Iron Works, handed over two checks in payment for the turbines. One check was for $400,- 000 and the second for $50,000.
