Aim of the organization is to "encourage major international cooperative activities." ICSU organized and coordinated the International Geophysical Year. Administrative costs of ICSU have risen steadily. Up to 1956, part of these costs were met from the $200,000 ICSU gets from UNESCO each year. In 1955 ICSU set up a "more realistic" schedule of dues, with the result that no UNESCO money goes for adminis- tration now. The new schedule raises the U. S. contribution for administra- tion from $196 to $7800 for 1957. This accounts for most of the increased load on the XJ. S. Actual U. S. contributions to ICSU, government and nongovernment, totaled over $14,000 in 1956. The amount over $9000 came from the NAS. Since 1951 the $9000 ceiling- set in 1935—hasn't been enough to meet U . S. obligations. Deficit this year will run to nearly $17,000 and next year may hit $20,000. NAS says it can't afford to put up such large sums. Wallace W. Atwood, Director of the Office of International Relations of NAS, gave the committee several rea- sons for the higher costs of running ICSU. Since 1935 the number of unions in ICSU has jumped from 6 to 11. Activities of the unions have in- creased sharply too, he said. Then, ICSU wants to stay financially inde- pendent of UNESCO. The U. S. contribution, after all in- creases, represents only 18% of the total, says -Atwood. This compares with about 12% in 1955. Further, the whole $65,000 won't be needed until 1965. U.
