The special committee of scientists appointed last April to evaluate the functions and operations of the National Bureau of Standards has recommended that steps be taken to enlarge the bureau’s basic programs relating to the accurate determination of physical constants, properties of materials, standards and standard practices, and testing and evaluation procedures. These programs, the group indicated, are all “essential services for our industrial society” which must be expanded if the nation’s needs are to be met.
