President Conant was elected chairman of the National Science Foundation Board at its organizing meeting yesterday.
The board is made up of 24 men, who were appointed by President Truman November 2 to promote basic research and education in the sciences. It put off recommending a director of the foundation until the next meeting, January 3.
