LP Note to Self RE: Studies of alloys. [Filed under: RNB 17R: Addendum]

June 20, 1944

To: Professor Linus Pauling

From: Linus Pauling

According to H. H. Hulage, referred to on p. 305 of the June 1944 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education, nickel-copper alloys are resistant up to 60 percent copper, which is just the point of inflection reported in my paper on magnetism. I think other alloys should be studied with respect to resistance to corrosion and number of electrons per atom.

Letter from LP to Dr. Frank H. Johnson, Princeton University. RE: Pleased to learn that Johnson will be in Pasadena over the winter. Discusses Johnson's experimental work and what he can do while at the lab. Suggests materials that Johnson should bring with him. Is looking forward to Dr. Van Niel's visit also. [Letter from LP to Johnson June 6, 1944] [Filed under LP Science: Materials re: Antibody and Antigen Research; the Nature of Serological Reactions, 1940-1947, 1950-1952, 1973, 1986: Box #7.001 Folder #1.1]
Letter from LP to Dr. Thomas Addis RE: Recommends that Dr. Addis not give lab space to Dr. Marshak; he does not know him very well, but is reported to work sloppily and not get along well with others. (Note from Dr. Addis to LP June 16, 1944) [Filed under LP Correspondence: Box #2.1, file:(Addis, Thomas 1940-1945)]
Letter from LP to Mrs. J. Auge RE: Sends his suggested description of Immunochemistry for the catalog. [Filed under California Institute of Technology: Materials re: Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 1933-1963, No Date: Box #1.024, Folder 24.10]
Letter from LP to the Director of Naval Officer Procurement, RE: States the Mr. Richard B. Simpson was a graduate student and teaching assistant at Caltech in 1942-43, and highly praises Simpson's intelligence and scientific training. Believes Simpson to be a satisfactory candidate for a Naval officer. [Note from Richard B. Simpson to LP June 15, 1944]
