  Berkeley, California

  Dear Ralph:

  I have sent a letter of recommendation for you to Dr. Burg at the University of Southern California.

  In answer to your question, I would say that I think that the Chemistry Department at U.S.C. has improved very much in recent years. I have a very good opinion of Burg, as an able and industrious inorganic chemist.

  I do not know of any other opening in the West. If you would like me to recommend you to some eastern university, such as, for example, the University of Rochester, please let me know.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling

  Dearest Mom

  What a hectic week this have been! I spent four days over at Newark Airport, trying to get an ATC plan to California, but weather and bad luck held me back. I had a 10 day furlong and D priority but time wasted away and I decided I couldn't make it, So I tried for another day to get a plane to Indiana, but weather here was bad. Finally I gave up and caught a train now that I have only four days left.

  I wish I had made it to Calif. I'll probably miss you in N.Y. it will be the first week of February that I return from Europe, I expect we now carry War Brides The trip should be interesting. Only two trips and then Paula will go back to civilian cruise-ship duties according to prevalent rumor. I'll probably be moved to another ship it looks like I'll be in the army five or six months more ( I hate the thought!)

  The scarf I sent you came form Karschi. I bought another, like it except that the embroidery was wine colored, and gave it to little miss Reba II. Reba I liked it very much threatened to confiscate it ( a familiar trick!) I hope you like it.

  Pygmalion was very good, but it didn't impress me as much as the movie and I laughed more when I read the play. I like Raymond Massey very much, but Gert. Lawrence didn't impress me over much.

  All my love to you, Mom.

  Linus

  12 January

  Mom dear-

  Been carrying this around in my pocket for a couple of days. Very nice days, too. But this afternoon I have to go back to the ship.

  Only complaint: I had about $ 205 saved up when I got to N.Y. in December, and thought how good: I'll be able to send $50 more home besides the $100 I owe you. But now I'm down to your hundred. Chalk up another failure to save money. N.Y. is too expensive.

  More of my love to you, Mom

  Dearest Mom

  The ship will be here at least until the 23^rd probably ‘til the 24^th or 25^th. So, if the Mirsky's are right about your arriving on the 25^th perhaps I will be able to se you. But there's a good change that we'll sail the day before you arrive. Damned bad luck. Also I'll miss Reba II's week in N.Y.

  I had a good time in Indiana although I can't say I prefer the midwest to the rest of the U.S I don't like the accent of speech remember Willkie? And the topography is uninteresting flat or gently rolling. I daresay it's pretty in summer, though, with everything green.

  I.U. physically is pretty I don't know about its teaching, but Rebsie likes it. I'm interested and worried about one thing - I.U. is highly organized, and the midwest is highly anti Semitic anyway, so little Reba has run against the social handicap of being Jewish for the first time. A couple of non-jew sororities rushed her before they found out and of course dropped her like a hot potato, and she has lost several good friends after they discovered the fact, and the frat boys aren't allowed to go out with Jews. So the bad result is that her class friends are Jews, and she is very bitter about the accident of birth.

  Philip Wylie, in his Generation of Vipers, has a lot to say about this. Perhaps you've read it. If not, you should.

  I'm happy you're having luck with your Japanese. It's about time the care of the house and garden was made easier for you.

  When will Pete finish P.J.C., and where will he go then? I think he aught to go to some progressive and liberal institution, although he seems to have done well in Pasadena's stodgy schools.

  I'm going to have a hard time getting into a college. Have you noticed how over-crowded they all are already? Some of the big state universities just refuse to take any more applications. That makes another reason why I'll have to go to P.J.C. unless it too is over -full. Looks bad.

  College girls complained: 2/3 of the veterans are married, the rest engaged.

  All my love to you, sugar plum. XXX's and OOO's

  Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and Professions

  "The Threat to Academic Freedom in California"

  8:30 PM, January 21, 1946. Hollywood Masonic Temple. Remarks of the Chairman, Linus Pauling

  Ladies and Gentlemen: The meeting which we are attending tonight has been called by the Science and Education Division of the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions. The Science and Education Division of the HICCASP has just been formed (although the National Committee has had a corresponding committee for a long time), and this is its first meeting. On behalf of the Science and Education Division I welcome you, both the members of the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee and the scientists and educators who are our guests tonight.

  Later this evening I shall discuss the proposed program of activities of the Science and Education Division. This program includes the subject for tonight's discussion, which is "The Threat to Academic Freedom in California."

  Let us first ask - Do we have a subject for discussion? Is there a threat to academic freedom in California? There is, of course, always a threat to academic freedom - as there is to the other aspects of the freedom and rights of the individual, in the continued attacks which are made on this freedom, these rights, by the selfish, the overly ambitious, the misguided, the unscrupulous, who seek to oppress the great body of mankind in order that they themselves may profit - and we must always be on te alert against this threat, and must fight it with vigor when it becomes dangerous. From the headlines and articles in the newspapers during recent weeks we have seen how this threat has grown, directed against the members of the faculty of the University of California at Los Angeles. These headlines and articles have grown out of the activities of the State Legislature's Joint Fact-finding Committee on Un-American Activities in California, the so-called Tenney Committee. They have ranged from the headline "Red Disciples at UCLA Face Ouster" in the Herald-Express to the relatively mild article by Timothy G. Turner which appeared yesterday on the editorial page of the Los Angeles Times, and which ended with the paragraph, "You may find academic freedom in the Socratic classes of Harvard and Oxford but you are not likely to have it in State universities as much as it might be ideally desirable."

  I say that the future of the world depends upon our having this freedom: we must have academic freedom, not only in Harvard and Oxford, but also in the State universities, and not only in California, but in France and in Germany, and in Japan, and in Russia.

  Let me review the events which have led to this meeting. In October the picket line at the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank was joined by young people carrying banners identifying them as UCLA students. An investigation of the picketing was made in November by a Committee of the State Assembly, with C. Don Field as Chairman; during this investigation strong criticism was directed against the State university for permitting its students to take part in social and political activities. Provost Dykstra, at a conference on Cultural Relations between Russia and America, sponsored by Phi Beta Kappa, answered these criticisms, and presented a thoughtful and sound statement on the principles of academic freedom. This statement was given unanimous approval by the 140 members of the Academic Senate at the University of California at Los Angeles.

  The Tenney Committee then began its investigation of the faculty at UCLA. It subpoenaed, among 60 witnesses, eight members of the faculty at UCLA, including Provost Dykstra, and subjected them to examination apparently designed to show them to be Communists. This effort failed: not a single Communist was unearthed; but there was an effort at intimidation by such questions as "Who hires you?" "How long does your contract have to run?"

  We cannot permit this treatment of our great State university. We know that the members of the Faculty of the University are thoughtful, able, patriotic men and women, working for the welfare of the people of the Nation and the world, without regard to race creed, or color. A distinguished scientist of this University, Dr. Bennet M. Allen, Professor of Zoology, read to his students a statement on Americanism at U.C.L.A., which he has given me permission to read to you. "To allay your --- --- is dedicated."

  [My dear sweetheart, eaten by a mouse]

  We are getting closer and closer to Chicago. The ride across the desert was, as always, wonderful- I shall never tire of the beautiful mountains and broad valleys. Colorado and Nebraska for a Kansas have been nice, too, and now Illinois- this is indeed a great country.

  There has been no snow falling, except a brief flurry, and little on the ground. The rivers are covered with thick ice, but the ponds are melting, and so I think it is not very cold. I thank you for mending my old bed socks- I have worn both pairs, because the car was rather cold. And give Linda my love and thanks for helping with the candy; both the marshmallows and the nuts were a surprise, because I had forgotten about them. I've eaten only a small amount in these two days.

  I've read some Guggenheim reports, and half of Beadle's fine review article, and have worked on my speech- I want it to be good. Also I've read Marin Ettlinger's application for a Jewett fellowship- it is a very interesting and well-written document, & I hope that he comes to Pasadena. After carefully reading his description of his recent work and his plans for future research I hope think that we may well want him as a professor of organic chemistry. He is about 21 now, with this PhD from Harvard.

  Perhaps you should have Mrs Wilson get reservations for me- a roomette on the Lark to Berkeley the night of Sunday, Feb. 17, and return Tuesday night. My lecture is Monday night, and I can see Addis Tuesday. You should decide if you can go with me- then we would need a bedroom.

  I trust that the children are all well, and that you are, too. Peter's chin seems to be growing- he looked very grown-up when I said goodby to him.

  Love to all from

  Paddy

  Dearest Sweetheart:

  I made the Boston train safely- as happens once on nearly every trip I make, someone else was occupying my space; the conductor put him out; he was in the wrong car. We are now in the Berkshires; there is about a food of snow on the trees & hills, & the little river is frozen over. The train is an hour late. We shall arrive at about 4.

  John Edsall is on the train- in the same car. I have had two intersting talks with him. He says that sometimes he is homesick for Pasadena- that this year with us was the best of his life. Ronald Ferry is back at Winthrop; all but one of the student houses are to be open to civilians next month. I learned that John has a very high opinion of Jack Kirkwood.

  Between trains I bought myself a very nice pair of black shoes. I left my old ones to be sent to Greece. Then, having about an hour left, I stopped at E.C Pauling's office (where I had stopped once before, finding him away), and learned that he died last winter. He bad two daughters, one in Boston and one, Mrs Donnelley, in Chicago. I telephoned Mrs Donnelley (who is listed as Mrs D. in the phone book). She spoke with an English or pseudo-English accent. She indicated that her father was one of the Hanoverian Paulings, and said that he had an uncle of two who had gone to California. She asked me to come out to house for a cup of tea, but I didn't have time to do so. Was Grandpa Pauling's father from Hanover?

  I have been talking with John about the great need for medical research in the West. Everyone seems to agree on this point. Did I tell you that Wickmen[?], when he was in Pasadena last week, asked me to stop in New York to see Heffron[?], the head of the medical division of the Commonwealth Foundation?

  We are still going through the little snow-covered wooded hills.

  Love to you, and Petie, and Linda, and Crellie,

  From Paddy.
