A series of priority projects aimed to aid underdeveloped countries through scientific and technological research was recommended for United Nations action today by Abba S. Eban, Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister, and Sir Norman Wright, secretary of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Both are members of the 18-man U. N. Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Tehnology to the needs of underdeveloped countries.
They proposed that the U. N. formulate ways to improve food supplies, deal with population planning, study the use of nonconventional sources of energy to help raise living standards, and develop educational techniques to tap the “human resources” of countries on the way toward development.
