Simons fails to give d u e recognition t o the fact t h a t a considerable a m o u n t of funda mental research, as distinctly contrasted with w h a t is generally called " a p p l i e d re search", is being carried on b y p r i v a t e industry, a n d f u r t h e r t h a t this t r e n d is more p r o n o u n c e d because of t h e present all-out w a r p r o d u c t i o n program.
