 Here Gets More 

 Rockefeller Aid 



Financial support from the Rocke- 

 feller Foundation to the permanent 

 secretariat of the Pacific Science 

 Association has almost doubled, ac- 

 cording to an announcement made 

 yesterday. 



The foundation has granted $23,- 

 600 to the secretariat, located at the 

 Bishop Museum, for a two year 

 period that began last month, com- 

 pared to $12,000 the previous two 

 years. 



The secretariat promotes and co- 

 ordinates scientific studies and ac- 

 tivities of the Pacific area. 



It has also received $1,000 from 

 the Coolidge Foundation and a 

 pledge of $750 from the govern-, 

 ment of France. 



"The fact that the grant was 

 raised materially leads us all to 

 hope that the foundation's interest 

 and help in the association will 

 become a permanent thing," said 

 E. H. Bryan Jr., acting director of 

 the Bishop Museum. 



The Pacific Science Association 

 Was established during the first 

 Pan-Pacific Scientific Congress held 

 held in 1920 in Honolulu. 



Besides keeping members of the 

 association informed of various ac- 

 tivities, the secretariat is the me- 

 dium through which resolutions 

 and recommendations of the Con- 

 gresses are put in action. 



Loring G. Hudson is executive 

 secretary and Miss Brenda BishoD 

 is assistant secretary of the secre- 

 tariat.
