DOMINION MUSEUM
OCCUPATION BY AIR FORCE PERTURBS SCIENTISTS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, June' 6. Support for the efforts of New Zealand scientists to terminate the continued occupation by the Air Force of the Dominion museum in Wellington is expressed by the Australian Association of Scientific Workers in a cablegram received by the New Zealand Association of Scientific Workers. This follows a protest made by the council of the Royal Society of New Zealand which, at the annual meeting recently, decided to seek an interview with the Prime Minister to urge the immediate return of • the museum to its normal use.
Scientists were gravely perturbed about the continued loss to the community of the benefits of one of the Dominion’s most important cultural institutions, said Mr A. J. Healy, a member of the council of the New Zealand Association of Scientific Workers today. Apart from the general public, thousands of school children had been deprived of the educational advantages which organised visits to the museum formerly gave them.
