Mr. Harold W. Schneider
2032 Longwood Avenue
Los Angeles 16, California
Dear Mr. Schneider:
I was pleased to receive your letter of December 18.
It seems to me that it is going to be necessary for us to make an effort to get the American Chemical Society out of politics. I hope that this effort will be successful, because there is no reason why the Society should not be a great organization, which would contribute to the advancement of science.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling

P.S. As to your question about joining the Independent Citizens' Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and Professions I would say that it is very simple to join, by writing to the Hollywood Independent Citizens' Committee of the Arts, Sciences, and Professions, 1515 Crossroads of the World, Hollywood, telephone number HOllywood 6325. At the present time the Committee is involved in discussions with other liberal organizations, with the view of forming a single, larger organization. I think that all people with liberal views should consider seriously the question of joining this new organization.
