Doubtless the iron hand still rules but it is wearing a silk glove. The Soviet oceanographic program in the Arctic Ocean is unique in its scope and their understanding of this realm is unexcelled, but in other areas of marine science they are behind us. A great strength of Soviet ocean- ography is the amount of technical support. Each senior scientist has several assistants which makes it possible thoroughly to work up re- search results. By contrast, the oceanographer typically works alone and so easily may become over- whelmed in a morass of data. Ruggians Lens Itnaginative, 3§ore Organized The Soviet oceanographic program is broad, covering all fields of marine science. Applied objectives are em- phasized; research is highly organ- ized, directed and controlled. Prob- ably overly so, as much of the work seemed routine and uninspired. A lack of cost-consciousness was indi- cated by little knowledge of the operating costs of research vessels, either daily or annually. Very few Soviet scientists are en- gaged in broad general synthesis of scientific results. I saw little evidence of "frontier" research such as gener- ates new theories or other break- throughs. The flux of ideas is more Manufacture of current meters takes place in this laboratory at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Laboratory in Leningrad. (Robert S. Dietz).
