  CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

  To Ruth Hughes

  Here are some things that I should like you to do, as soon as you are feeling well enough.

  First, would you give me the letter from Nesmianov. I ought to answer it.

  Second, would you look at the original signed copy of the appeal from Thailand. In the news release there was a signature by Harry Emeleus - Professor Emeleus, University of Cambridge. I remember that when the original material arrived I was skeptical about this signature, and I want to check it. Emeleus wrote another letter, which you should also get, saying that he did not want to sign. I think that we shall have to tell the United Nations to cross that name off, in case that the handwriting indicates that it is not genuine. In any case, we might have to write to Emeleus, to ask if he did happen to be in Thailand.

  Then we must get together, during the next few weeks, an auxiliary list of signers to be sent to the Secretary-General. I have quite a number of additional signatures on my desk, and I think that you have some also. Let us be sure that we get everybody in.

  4 February 1958

  Dear Sir:

  In C&EN for 27 January 1958, page 28, there appeared an account of a petition signed by 9235 scientists from 44 countries, uring [sic] that an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear bombs be made now, as a first step toward a more general disarmament.

  In the article in C&EN it is said that a spokesman for the U.S. mission says that it plans no action on this measure, unless Russia agrees to certain arms inspections and controls which she has previously refused.

  This statement seems to me to be not quite right. It is my understanding, which I have checked in a conversation with Mr. Stassen, that in the recent past Russia has proposed that an agreement be made to stop the testing of nuclear weapons, with an effective system of control and inspection, and that the United States has proposed that the agreement to stop bomb tests with control and inspection be made together with an agreement to stop the stockpiling of further nuclear weapons.

  Our petition to the United Nations does not specify what sort of an agreement should be made. It would, of course, have to be acceptable to the nations involved. I think that it should be possible, by negotiation, to formulate an acceptable compromise agreement that would benefit all nations and all people.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  Subject: Oliver Wulf and X-ray photography

  Along about 1913, when Dr. Oliver Wulf, Research Associate in Chemistry here, was a high school student, he made an X-ray photograph of his hand, using as a source of X-rays a Tesla coil and a broken (filament broken) electric light bulb. He still has this photograph, which may well have been the first X-ray photograph made by any California Institute of Technology man, and I have thought that you might be interested in running a little story on it, possibly together with the other stories about early days of X-ray diffraction in the California Institute of Technology.

  19 February 1958

  Mr. Eugene Lyons

  71 Bedford Road

  Pleasantville, N.Y.

  Dear Mr. Lyons:

  I am pleased to give you the information requested in your letter of 23 February. In brief it is that most of the work involved in gathering the signatures of 9235 scientists from 44 countries, many hundred more now, and several other countries, to a petition that I presented to Mr. Dag Hammarskjold on 11 January 1958 was done by me and one secretary, whom I employed for the purpose. Most of the expense was borne by me.

  The petition originated during a visit that I made to Washington University in St. Louis, where I had been invited to speak in Graham Memorial Chapel to the students and faculty at a chapel meeting held in honor of the students who had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa and other honor societies. My talk was on the subject "Science in the Modern World." The last 15 minutes of the talk was devoted to hereditary diseases and the ways in which the pool of human germ plasm is deteriorating. I mentioned fallout radioactivity, and made a strong plea for morality in the conduct of world affairs. After the meeting many people asked if I would not write a statement that they could sign. I then wrote a statement, which was called An Appeal by American Scientists.

  I also wrote a letter, addressed to American scientists that I know. A friend of mine in the university had this letter and the appeal mimeographed, and I signed the copies of the letter. He and his friends arranged for mailing.

  During the following two weeks several hundred letters and copies of the appeal were mailed to scientists in the United States by my friends in Washington University and by me and some of my colleagues in the California Institute of Technology. Many of the copies of the appeal were returned with a number of signatures attached. Within two weeks 2000 signatures had reached me.

  With the help volunteered by some of my friends in the California Institute of Technology a press release was prepared and issued, and on 4 June 1957 I sent a letter to President Eisenhower about the appeal by American scientists.

  During the summer I received a good number of unsolicited statements of adherence by scientists in other countries. The first of these was a statement of adherence signed by all of the professors of science in the Free University of Brussels, 40 in number.

  In the autumn I decided, partially as a result of this spontaneous movement, to obtain signatures from scientists in other countries. I hired a young woman to help me. She and I prepared letters, several hundred in number, which we addressed to scientists in nearly all of the countries in the world. Many of these scientists were friends of mine, whom I had met in international meetings or in my travels. Some of them were scientists whose names we had obtained from the scientific literature or from reference books. I tried to write to a few scientists, two or three, in each country, asking that they sign the appeal and obtain other signatures.

  I also sent letters to all of the members of the National Academy of Sciences or the United States of America, and to some of the Fellows of the Royal Society of London, as well as some of the members of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. Altogether my secretary and I may have sent out 1000 to 1500 letters.

  It is in this way that the signatures of 9235 scientists (more now) were obtained.

  I then went to New York to present the petition to Mr. Hammarskjold. In preparing to issue a press release my secretary and I got some additional secretarial assistance.

  No organization was involved in the collection of the signatures. There are many individuals who were put to some expense, but I think that most of the expense was borne by me, personally. I estimate that it amounted to roughly $1000.

  I have received a gift of $100, sent me by a woman whom I do not know, and a few gifts of $1.00.

  I may mention that some of this information was contained in the manuscript that I submitted last year to the Readers Digest.

  If you would like to have any additional information, please let me know.

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Linus Pauling:W

  P.S. I note on looking over your letter again that you felt that to obtain the signatures of over 9000 scientists it would have been necessary for me to write to several times that many scientists. In fact, it was necessary to write only to about 10 percent of that number. Also, although the effort was a considerable one, I would not call it tremendous, and I feel that my expenditure of a sum approximating $1000 is a small contribution for me (and my wife of course, as well as my children) to make in the effort to contribute to the solution of my great problems that the world must solve.

  You may be interested also to know that the article "The Compelling Need for Nuclear Tests," by Drs. Teller and Latter that has appeared recently in LIFE contains many erroneous statements and misleading statements. I trust that the Readers Digest will not publish an article based upon this article without checking carefully.

  L.P.

  19 February 1958

  President Eisenhower

  The White House

  Dear Mr. President:

  I respectfully request that you grant me an appointment in order that I may talk with you for a short while about the present opinion that scientists hold about the testing of nuclear weapons, and related questions, and about the petition urging that an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear weapons be made, as a first step toward a more general disarmament.

  On 4 June 1957 I sent to you the appeal urging that an international agreement be made to stop bomb tests that had been signed by 2000 American scientists. During later months, after a considerable number of scientists in other countries had voluntarily associated themselves with this appeal, I began to gather more signatures, and on 11 January 1958 I presented the petition to the Secretary General of the United Nations, together with the names of 9235 scientists, of 44 countries, who had signed the petition. This petition was a personal enterprise, with no organization involved. The signers included 36 Nobel Laureates, 101 members of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States, 35 Fellows of the Royal Society of London, 216 members and correspondents of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., and many other distinguished scientists.

  I feel that I have been able, after considerable effort, to obtain an understanding of nuclear weapons and their biological effects. The problem is a difficult one, involving many branches of science. I am a chemist, and I have done much work also in fields other than chemistry. Since 1922 I have worked with high-energy radiation. Much of my work has been in the field of atomic physics. During recent years I have worked largely on biological and medical problems, including those hereditary diseases caused by mutated genes that result from radiation exposure. If you wish to have an assessment of my ability to form a judgment about the complex problem of biological effects of nuclear weapons, I refer you to the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Bronk.

  I may mention that I have served the nation in many ways, and that in 1948 I was awarded the Presidential Medal for Merit.

  I know that you consulted with Dr. Edward Teller some months ago. Recent public statements made by Dr. Teller are so misleading and even erroneous, deviating greatly from those held by other scientists, as to cause me concern about the reliability of the information that may have been given to you. It is in part for this reason that I ask for an appointment with you.

  I enclose a copy of my letter of 11 January 1958 to Mr. Hammarskjold, a copy of the petition to the U.N., and the names of the Nobel laureates, members of the U.S. Academy of Sciences, Fellows of the Royal Society of London, and members of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences who signed it.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling :W

  Re: 4:30 TV appearance, February 20, 1953

  They hope you can arrive at 4:00 p.m. and suggest you do the following

  1. Avoid wearing a very dark suit.

  2. Wear a shirt other than white, and if necessary, buy a dark one at their expense.

  3. They are asking both Teller and you to write (preferably type) 100 words of introduction. They are doing this because they do not know how you would like to state your relationship to the UN petition and other matters and want to have it in your own words. This will be read by James Day, General Manager of the station, who will serve as moderator.

  As you probably know, they are making prints of this program this weekend and sending it to educational TV stations all over the country.

  The time will be divided as follows:

  You will be the first speaker with 14 minutes.

  Your second turn will be for 7 minutes.

  The third time will be for 3 minutes.

  Your last remarks will be between 2 & 4 minutes, depending on how much time is left.

  There will be time cards available to indicate to you how much time is left as the program draws to a close.

  THE ATOM

  By Dr. Linus Pauling

  An Excerpt from "Fallout and Disarmament" - A Debate between Linus Pauling and Edward Teller

  I am a scientist. I am interested in the world, this wonderful world that we live in, and I am especially interested in human beings. This world that we live in is really a wonderful one, as we have found out through the discoveries of science.

  The greatest of all these discoveries is the discovery of the way to release the great stores of energy that are in the nuclei of atoms. I think that this is going to make the world an even better place to live in. It is, of course, this discovery that also led to the development of nuclear weapons, atomic bombs, and hydrogen bombs.

  These weapons are terrible. One great bomb that has been detonated has an explosive energy that is sixteen times greater than that of all of the explosives used in the Second World War.

  I don't know how many of these bombs exist. The number such as ten thousand in the United States stock pile and a similar number in the Russian stock pile have been mentioned. I am sure that the United States has enough of these terrible weapons to destroy the world and that Russia has enough to do the same.

  We must not have a nuclear war. We must begin to solve international disputes by the application of man's power of reason in a way that is worthy of the dignity of man. We must solve them by arbitration, negotiation, the development of international law, the making of international agreements that will do justice to all nations and to all peoples and will benefit all nations and all people. Now is the time to start.

  I feel strongly about this. Some months ago, after I had given a talk in the Graham Memorial Chapel of Washington University in St. Louis, I was encouraged to prepare an appeal to stop bomb tests. Then after this appeal had been signed by more than two thousand American scientists in a period of two weeks, I began to get voluntary expressions of adherence to this appeal from scientists in other countries. I then wrote a few hundred letters to scientists in other countries whom I know and to those whose names I had got out of the scientific literature and reference books, and I received in a few months thousands more of answers, so that on the thirteenth of January of this year I was able to present a petition with nine thousand two hundred thirty-five signatures of scientists in forty-four countries, thirty-six Nobel Laureates, and one hundred one members of the American National Academy of Scientists to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

  Radioactive fallout causes damage to the pool of human germ plasm that does result in the birth of an additional number of defective children. I have estimated that the amount of increase in the mutation rate as the result of radioactive fallout from testing carried on at the present rate is one per cent; a one per cent increase in the number of defective children who will be born in the future.

  There are every year seventy-five million children born in the world. Two per cent of these children are seriously deficient because of heredity, bad genes, the bad genes that are in the pool of human germ plasm, partially due to the natural radioactivity of cosmic rays, and now being increased by fallout. Two per cent of seventy-five million is one and a half million seriously defective children born each year with various grave diseases that cause them to die shortly after birth or in early childhood, to have mental deficiency of serious physical defects that make them suffer all of their lives or live their lives in a mental institution. One per cent increase in this is fifteen thousand seriously defective children a year. According to my estimates, Dr. Beadle's estimates, and the estimates of Professor James F. Crow of the University of Wisconsin, another distinguished geneticist, this is the number that will be born each year when equilibrium is reached.

  Moreover, the amount of testing at the present time corresponds to one large bomb, one superbomb with ten megatons of fission released. We can say, accordingly, that the man who gives the order to test a single large superbomb with high fission yield is dooming fifteen thousand seriously defective children to be born in later generations. Also, there are serious effects on the health of human beings now living, according to the information that is now available.

  This is the opinion that I and many of my scientific colleagues, a great many, have..."

  Dearest Mamma,

  You are a love and I love you. Thank you for the card and the present and the letter for my birthday. I was happy to get them. I was in bed with a cold when you were in New York, and then Julia had the flu. Thomas has been a little poorly with cold and his molars. Just now, we are all more or less well.

  Thomas is growing great guns and is such fun.

  Thank you for the Christmas presents. The cereals are all gone. They were lovely. But we still have some springerle and of course most of the cake. The cookies and cake are lovely. I do not know that Thomas likes the taste of springerle, but they are nice and hard and good for his teeth.

  I hope you do not mind my writing to you with this machine; it is faster and easier.

  Are you going to come see us this summer? I hope that we shall be able to go away far a holiday, Julia and Thomas need a little jaunt.

  We spent a weekend with the Hodgkin's about a month ago. They are so fine. I certainly like Thomas. There is so much to talk about and to learn.

  Love from

  Peter

  Dear Daddy,

  Thank you for your letter enclosing your petition and statement and my report of earnings from the Institute.

  Would you please send me an income tax return form if you can arrange it easily? Your letter indicates you can send it. I shall also send you a statement of books. I realize that I have been very slow with the water paper. I have all the interatomic distances and am applying the Gaussian function, for the four structures. Do you think it worth while to discuss the thermodynamic properties of water or the solution effects? It seems to me that the vague spherical model of Pople is easier to use in a calculation of thermodynamic properties, but perhaps we should say something. I have not tried to learn the details of solution effects, it seemed to me to require a great deal of study, but you should be able to say immediately if there would be any evidence available for any model.

  The cubic nickel structure is coming along well. I shall have it soon.

  The people in the college are hopeful that you will be able to come to their do, and think that your lack of reply is a good sign, that you are trying to fix up an itinerary. I hope this is true, we should be very pleased for you to come.

  Love from

  Peter

  P.S. I shall get off the water results as soon as possible.

  I think Desmond’s channels are too narrow for things such as your petition. I, for instance, never heard about the possibility of my signing. I do not really know where to find a wider circle. Perhaps K. Lonsdale. I should expect the petition to be up in every laboratory, but it was not. It is just that the usual semi-political channel is too narrow.

  24 February 1958

  Mr. Homer Dudley

  150 Ashland Road

  Summit, New Jersey

  Dear Mr. Dudley:

  I thank you for your letter of 8 February, with the implied suggestion in it that we do something about the effects of radium in our drinking water.

  I agree that this is a serious problem. I estimate (I do not have statistics at hand right now) that 300,000 people per year die in the United States from cancer. Our biologists, and I think others that have studied the question, estimate that about 10 to 20 percent of the cases of cancer are due to background radiation - let us take 10 percent. This means that 30,000 deaths from cancer each year in the United States can be attributed to background radiation. Of the background radiation half is due to radium that gets into the bones. Hence we now have the figure 15,000 deaths per year from the radium that we get from our drinking water.

  Your suggestion that we stop drinking the water is of course a facetious one.

  Have you considered the possibility that radium could be removed from the drinking water? As an engineer, you may have had experience in these fields. I believe that this is a possibility. I am not at all sure that the job is a practical one, but some people in the House and the Senate have been talking about appropriations of the order of 500 million dollars a year for attack on the cancer problem, and it seems evident that to remove the radium from drinking water is one possibility.

  Because of my interest in decreasing the total amount of human suffering of the world in every possible way, including the control of cancer, I should be interested to know if, as a result of your professional experience, you think that it would be reasonable to try to prevent the 15,000 deaths each year in the United States (perhaps 200,000 per year in the world) that may be attributed to the radium in the drinking water.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

  SAINT LOUIS 5, MISSOURI

  February 25, 1958

  Dr. Linus Pauling

  35OO Fairpoint Street

  Pasadena, California

  Dear Linus:

  I have been meaning for several weeks to write you but the pressure of work and extracurricular activities have stood in the way. In any event I want to give you a brief report on the state of affairs as it seems from here.

  1. With regard to the immediate issue of the amazing Teller article I should first like to express my admiration for your reply as printed in the current issue of I. F Stone's Weekly. About a week ago Norman Cousins called and asked for ammunition to be used in preparing a reply to the article. With the help of some of the physics people I got together a series of comments on the more or less scientific side of the Teller opus. The main burden of this material is the same as the point you made in your discussion, i.e., that Teller's arguments are wholly unworthy of a scientist. I am enclosing a copy of these comments with this letter. The Cousins group is preparing a reply which is to be signed by the several scientists that are on the committee (Hugh Wolfe, Paul Doty, C. C. Price). It is not clear what will be done with this article although they are going to make an effort to get LIFE to do something with it. I suggested to Cousins that he try to line up a group of three or four recognized experts in some of the fields encompassed by Teller's article and ask them to comment specifically on the veracity of key statements in the article. It seems to me that LIFE might possibly be persuaded to print something like that. One point about the article is that I have discovered that very few people in St. Louis have paid much attention to it. Apparently most people flip through LIFE and don't bother reading much.

  2. Cousins also asked me for help with regard to the forth-coming program that Ed Murrow is going to have on fallout. I understand that Murrow has already asked you to participate. Cousins told me that immediately after Murrow decided to have such a program he contacted Libby. Libby then proceeded to more or less sell Murrow a bill of goods along the lines that we must go on with nuclear testing if missiles are to be of any use -- since testing is necessary to develop missile warheads. He also made a big point over undetectable underground tests, etc. In any event it was Cousins' opinion that Murrow's approach will be pretty much along the lines of Libby's viewpoint. Apparently Libby has given Murrow some exclusive news items to be used on the program According to Cousins, Murrow will depend mostly on Muller for the alternative viewpoint. This is too bad since Muller tends to take a rather restricted approach which is sometimes not effective as a rebuttal to the AEC position. Cousins himself has tried to educate Murrow's people concerning the situation and has tried to persuade them that the dangers from testing ought to be publicly acknowledged by the AEC so that the public can decide for itself what ought to be done. In order to convince Murrow that AEC pronouncements have not been wholly objective, Cousins asked me to prepare an analysis of this aspect of the situation. I am enclosing a copy of this document as well. In any event I thought it might be useful for you to have this information about the program. On the whole, Cousins is rather pessimistic on it.

  3. You are of course aware of the plans that Rabinowitch has been developing with regard to another Pugwash meeting in April and a bigger meeting In Europe in September. He asked me to comment on the proposed agenda for the September meeting and I have just written him a letter about it. I am enclosing a copy of this letter for your information. The AAAS Parliament of Science (I am a member of the steering committee) may turn out to be a very effective way of dramatizing the importance of developing public policy that can turn the present power of science toward constructive uses. Although the meeting will not consider specific questions outside of the issues that are now involved in Congressional proposals regarding the stimulation of science, the general tone of the meeting will favor this point of view. The meeting which Rabinowitch proposes for September would be extremely important at this juncture because more than anything else the public needs to know what the alternative consequences of peaceful and destructive use of the enormous power of science will be. I hope that you will be able to attend both of the meetings that Rabinowitch is organizing. I expect to go to the Biochemical Congress in Vienna and might be able to stay on for the second of these meetings.

  4. We are about to try to organize a local group in St. Louis which might be called something like The Citizens Committee for Atomic Information. The idea would be to provide a means for getting the facts about fallout — and probably about the consequences of nuclear warfare -- before the public so that people can decide for themselves what our policy on these matters should be. There is still a need for a national group along these lines. According to Cousins the actual decisions concerning activities of his committee are in the hands of yourself, Clarence Pickett and Norman Thomas. Such a group is obviously too narrow in outlook to serve the purpose of developing a broadly supported program. Ed and I hope to talk with Rev. Dahlberg here about this and perhaps something can be done.

  Apart from the above I have been wondering whether you succeeded in contacting Mr. Eaton about the proposal to set up a working office in Pasadena. There certainly is a lot to do and it would be very good if you had some help in doing it.

  When you get a chance I should be interested in hearing your reactions to some of these things. In the meantime, my very best wishes to you and Mrs. Pauling.

  Sincerely yours,

  Barry Commoner
