THIS VOLUME is the fourth publication of the National Man power Council. The Council was established at Columbia University in the spring of 1951, under a grant from the Ford Foundation, to study significant manpower problems and to contribute to the improved development and utilization of the country's human resources. Its first study, Student Deferment and National Manpower Policy, appeared in April, 1952, and was followed in May, 1953, by A Policy for Scientific and Professional Manpower. In March, 1954, the Council published the Proceedings of a Conference on the Utilization of Scientific and Professional Manpower. This conference, held by the Council in October, 1953, brought together sixty-six experts for a five-day meeting at Arden House, the Harriman Campus of Columbia University. The deliberations aided the Council's present study by illuminating the role of technicians in our economy.
