During the second phase of basic research (1957-58), all work has been aimed at auto exhaust, and our staff tells us they have now reached the point where a break-through can at last be envisioned.

In the area of public information, the Foundation's earliest accomplishment was quieting mass hysteria by proving to the public-at-large that "something was being done" and that our industrial and business leaders were as interested as the man on the street in getting rid of smog.

With Victory in Sight ... The people who are building Southern California are not people who let up. The Foundation is their greatest asset in building this sector of the country. With their continued full support, pure research can continue. In the emotions-filled war against smog, pure research is our only avenue to smog control methods based on scientific facts, rather than on political considerations.

In the meantime we must redouble our efforts to aid industry in the development of effective and economic control devices, and there is a tendency in some quarters to foist this job on the Federal government. Suggestions of this sort are based on the notion that a device that will settle the LA problem will be equally applicable in other areas. This is a questionable assumption.
