Science Today By CARL A. VINES OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (UPI) There -is growing evidence that the world of science is taking a hard look at itself and its role in society. "Some of it comes from the pressure of events that have gone ill, says Dr. David Rose, a professor of nuclear engineer.

ing on leave from the Massachusetts Institute of. Technology while serving as director of long range planning at the Oak Ridge National, Laborator here. "And there is a reawakening to the idea that. a person doesn't have a right given by God to lead an elitist life," Rose says. The change in attitude -Rose says it's not really a new attitude but one rediscovered by growing numbers of scientists- appears to go along with the growth of environmental concern.

For years, with the explosion of knowledge and technology, science and engineering went along doing their things with little' thought of the long range consequences. Delayed Awareness Bigger and better power generating facilities were built, manufacturing plants of every size and description proliferated. across the land, larger and larger quantities of fertilizer and pesticides were thrown into farm operations, more and bigger cars were produced and put onto and the highways were expanded and spread in a growing network to take care of the pressure of increased traffic. Then more and, more people began to notice that the air was no longer fit to breathe in some places; the water was becoming dirtier and dirtier, pollution of every sort was threatening wildlife and finally all life on the planet. Man was backing, himself into a frightening corner and beginning to tell himself that one day he might find there was no escape left to him.

"It has always been easy to alter something," says Rose, who is something of a history buff along with his scientific endeavors. "But it's, much harder to understand what these alterations mean." Role in Planning And that's where science finds itself changing -taking a look at the changes that are proposed, the projects that are planned, to see if the project really is worth the effort and what it will mean, not merely in the accomplishment of a narrow goal but in a wider sense of total environmental effect. Evidence of the change in. viewpoint is a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation in use here since last summer, for a year's research in a number of environmental areas, including a study of man's. life style itself, and posing the question of whether man's institutions can be changed to meet the social as well as the technological needs of the people in an industrial society.

With this, growing numbers of scientists are coming to the belief that they must not only play a role in the development of knowledge and technology, but must play a role in planning the use of this new knowledge. Swordfish No Land Grab Moves Off Planned, Store Shelf Mrs. Ky Says By WILLIAM B. MEAD WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Food and Drug Administration says most canned tuna is free of excess mercury, but all swordfish may disappear, from the market because of a high concentration of the poisonoug liquid metal. The FDA said tests on half the nation's entire stock of canned tuna found that less.

than 2 per cent contained mercury in excess of the safety limit of 0.5 parts per million. But that limit was exceeded in 89 per cent of the swordfish tested. FDA Thursday announced a recall of 1.2 million cans of tuna in addition to the 1 million cans recalled last month. Initial tests of tuna in December found excessive mercury in 23 per cent of the samples, but this included a much smaller sample than the results announced Thursday, and the tests concentrated on lots suspected of containing the substance. The FDA said other foods had been tested and found to be free of excess mercury, including milk, eggs, poultry, flour, beef liver, shrimp, fruits and vegetables.

Mercury in the amounts found in tuna and swordfish poses no serious health problem unless eaten consistently over a number of Mercury in sufficient amounts attacks the brain and can lead to permanent disability or death.

Harangued Unharmed Erastus Corning, an official of the Moscow office of Pan American World Airways, said he was menaced Thursday night by the four Russians in a parking -lot alongside the Metropole Hotel. The Metropole, a tourist mecca and business center, is a short distance from Red Square and within sight of the Bolshoi Theater.

"The men harangued me for about 15 minutes and without touching me they effectively prevented me from getting in my car," Corning said. "They. were big burly guys and I had the feeling it would be a bad idea to do anything that would make them angrier. They said like, "How would you like it if we beat you up right 1 here on the spot?" he said. Corning said the four.

"In Uptown Murfreesboro" Brown's SHOES SAIGON (UPI)-Mrs. Nguyen Ky, "wife of South Vietnam's vice president, said today her plans to acquire 3,600 acres of choice farmland in central Vietnam free of charge have been misunderstood. Mrs.

Ky told Vietnamese newsmen at a news conference at her home that she is not trying to acquire the land illegally. "I myself have not set foot on this area," Mrs. Ky said. "More than one year ago, when my husband and I were 'on board an airplane over this area, we talked to each other and loved the beautiful scene. myself, have submitted a request to the government asking for this area for cultivation.

"My request still is being considered by government and it is up to the government to decide on my request. My request has been submitted on behalf of a simple citizen and not the wife of Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky." Paul Nur, minister for development of ethnic groups, said Wednesday that Mrs. Ky wanted to develop the land. About half the acreage near Tu Tra village in the central highlands traditionally has been occupied by the nomadic Montagnards but controlled by the government. Currently, however, the property is in Communist hands, although the area is becoming more pacified and may be available soon.
