I know I am getting old and don't see so well but I have not been able to find the tech that raises infantry morale. I see a tech for every other unit type. Am I missing something or should I get new glasses again?

Well, now that I am reassured about my vision and have overcome the shock of no tech to raise infantry morale, is there any way to raise infantry morale or am I stuck at 30% for the duration?
As an old HOI2 player trying his first HOI3 game, I am finding no end of surprises even after reading the manual twice.

Your eyes are fine, there is none.
Well, there may still actually be something wrong with his eyes. But we hope not.
Well... There actually is 1 tech that raises infantry morale. It is called medical evacuation and is located on the secret tech tab. It raises inf morale by 10%.
Bad news is that it is a 1946 tech. Not too many games when it gets researched.

Indeed, never got that far in my games!
But you can search more than once or is a one shot tech?

one shot tech...but it is 10% morale for inf, mar, para, & mtn...If you are starting in 1936 you should have the researched the needed prerequisites for this by 1939 or 40...
Here is a thread where I requested such a tech in the mod forum.
Post #4 includes the change to the Infantry Warfare tech to implement morale improvement, not exactly a mod, you'll have to edit the tech file yourself but it does the job.

Moral for troops are difficult to raise, which tech would you think could do that? Supersoldier serum, hypnosis, shoot-your-leader tech?
Moral for troops is more from good weapons, earned confidence in your officers, generals and head of state/government.

you raise a good point - better skilled leaders should improve troop morale.
perhaps popularity of the government in power would have a similar effect
TAC, BB, Armor, Motorized, Militia, ... every type of unit except regular Infantry has a tech that increases their morale. Are you implying they are improved by the methods you suggest and it's somehow different for Infantry? Obviously improving morale is a feature of design and the omission of Inf is an oversight.
There's a level into the chain of commandement within the skill of the leader in charge affect reorganization (aka morale) rate, if i'm not mistaken it's army.
Anyway, yes it's missing. Quite depressing.
There's no doctrine improving special forces or militia morale either. You can increase morale of tanks, artilleries, mobile troops, ships and planes since those are the units you actually can repair. Morale is disguised repair speed in HoI3.
Quite sure there's a morale improve tech for mil. Now that u point it out i'm wrong with the special force true. Cannot check in holidays at my old man place.
My point is: It becomes quite logical why none of infantry units has this upgrade when you realize it's not really morale we know but rather this unit's repair speed.
