  1 October 1959

  Dr. Gunther Anders

  Gelzeltgasse 15

  Wien/Mauer, AUSTRIA

  Dear Dr. Anders:

  I am glad to tell you what I can about the Fifth World Conference Against A and H Bombs.

  The impression that I formed from my attendance at this conference is that it was closely similar to the preceding ones. The biggest change was the attitude of the Japanese government. The Japanese government, under Kishi, has now changed its policy from that of the new Japanese constitution, which is opposed to military armaments. The government is attempting to revise the security pact with the United States (and the United States government is also in favor of this revision) in such a way as to lead to the rapid remilitarization of Japan. In consequence of this change in the Japanese government, the government withheld its subsidy of the Hiroshima Conference this year. Moreover, there were some attacks on the conference and on the Japan Council as being dominated by communists.

  I do not think that these attacks were justified. I found that various opinions were represented at the conference, and that a true effort was made to resolve them, in a democratic way. This is well illustrated by the text of the Hiroshima Appeal. As you say in your letter, this appeal expresses the same spirit that has prevailed in previous years.

  The appeal was written after Schroers walked out of the conference. There seemed to be a general feeling that he and Wayland Young, from England, were determined to make trouble. I was not present at the preliminary meeting, with which Schroers was dissatisfied. I was present, however, at all of the following meetings, and I participated vigorously in the discussions. I think that the arguments that I presented were effective. It seems pretty clear, from the Hiroshima Appeal,that the conference did not suffer much from the walkout by Schroers and his associates. On the other hand, if there had been a really serious difference of opinion, with real domination by communists, then it might not have been possible to get a good appeal accepted, and the walkout by Schroers and his associates might have been a very serious matter.

  I have a high opinion of Dr. Yasui and the other people on the Japan Council. I feel strongly that we need to continue to work with them. I myself found it only natural that many of the Japanese participants in the Fifth World Conference should be worried about the proposed revision of the security pact, and should tend to talk about this matter in somewhat greater detail

  Dr. Gunther Anders Page 2 1 October 1959

  than its significance to world affairs warranted; nevertheless, I myself think that it is an important matter, and that it might well have been justified to refer to it specifically in the Hiroshima Appeal. In my lectures I often mention my concern about the possible nuclear armament of China, and state that I think that China should be made a member nation of the United Nations, and that an international agreement should be made that would keep China from getting nuclear arms. There are many other points of this sort that need to be discussed. The way to solve these great problems is not, however, just to walk out of the discussion, as was done by Schroers.

  I look forward to receiving the copy of your book.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dear Linus,

  Many thanks for your letters, both the one from Geneva and the latest.

  I have been busy trying to write my thesis and get things done, and also the house we were trying to buy has fallen through. Consequently, I have not written.

  I am quite pleased with Julia. She has been working very hard to get things going well, she is on a pretty strict schedule to get things done, and we are getting along well. The boy is full of beans; school does him a lot of good.

  We are pleased about your new girl though I cannot say that I am much in favor of her name. We are trying to think of names and it certainly is difficult. I shall tell you something about what I think about money. It seems to me that any any allowance or other sort of money that I or someone else gets is essentially good if it increases that persons liberty, increases his freedom of action. I think that the money is not worth it if it decreases liberty, if one has to do things or behave in such and such a way in order to get the dough. Consequently, it seems to me good that you and Anita can broaden your lives so much, you are not accountable to anyone except yourselves, but not accountable to any one particular person. It is magnificent that your lives can be so full, that you being yourselves can see so many possibilities in life, can then do them. It gives you freedom of course to make a ball of things too, if you should want.

  Now an allowance is dangerous, for while it increases liberty in the sense that it allows things to be done that otherwise could not be done, it might restrict liberty because the giver may feel that he has the right to control the behavior of the receiver in some way. If the receiver admits that the giver has some control, if the receiver loses his liberty in order to gain the money, then it seems to me bad. In particular I shall be damned first before doing something for someone for the lolly.

  Of course this is not quite right, because one has to eat and consequently one has to have a job and if one has a job then there are restrictions on one of some sort. However, one is willing to put up with more restrictions from some people than with others.

  Now it seems to me that we, you me and Pop, are rather alike in some ways. One way is that we will not be kicked around by the others, and the other is that if we give money to someone we expect him to do what we want. These are mutually exclusive. It seems to me, that though Pa has been immensely good about not restricting, he basically feels that he can say what the hell goes on, as evidenced by the fact that he thinks he can make me follow his hair brained ideas by cutting off the lolly, and by the fact that he will not make a hard and fast agreement. He is loose with the talk but will not arrange a definite amount per unit time automatically regularly.

  If thats the way he feels, he'll have to keep it. An allowance gives me liberty to stay in academic Europe, if thats what I wanted to do. That is the minimum standard of living possible an a European academic salary is below the minimum standard of living that I am willing to accept. Now I think that you think that I do not want a European academic life, and that there is a way to get me out of it. Well, in a sense you are right. I do not think I can be happy as a chemist. I am not so sure about the academic part of it. I rather like being stimulated by a lot of young people about, and having the summers off, and not having to work on any set job, say electronic engineering, for any extended time. That is, I am interested in designing things for a while, but then I get bored. Anyway, life is a compromise and we shall see. At least you have me thinking about it all.

  I might say that I appreciate very much your obviously sympathetic letters. While I do not wholely agree with your philosophy of noncompetition, it is obvious that you have made a better solution to our mutual problem than I, and I think you solution is improving as evidenced by you being willing to take summer holidays. There is our rivalry which must affect our relations(and how much help you can give me) until I have settled and am satisfied with my life.

  Dear Mrs. Harris:

  Your letter has reached me.

  Please write Mr. Goldbloom (is that right?) and say that I want two days in Canberra - either before or after Sydney - and that he should notify Oliphant. Send a copy to Oliphant with a message that I look forward to seeing him and members of the government.

  I'll answer the Allen and Mrs. Hendrickson letters when I come home.

  Also tell Goldbloom and Mrs. Gould that we'll stay until Dec. 4.

  Could you come to the lab on Saturday 17 Oct.? Perhaps we should get some things done.

  Please change my NY flight to a jet flight leaving Saturday morning (9 AM, say), 24 October.

  Sincerely,

  Linus Pauling

  12 October, 1959

  Dear Mama and Daddy:

  I'll tell you what our check stub record has right away, so that I don't forget about it. On 10 September, Lucy paid a bill to Happy's for $7.79. Enclosed are the slips for that order - one is a case of quinine which I got, and the other is a case of beer that Lucy telephoned an order for. The Aug. 4 item is for a case of beer (Quarts) that Lucy ordered; the Aug. 23 item is for the beer, etc., that I went over and got the day all those people were there with Mrs. Rosenwald. I guess that from our checkstub record we did not pay any bills to Happy other than those of June and July. Therefore it looks to me as if the $48.05 must be right.

  I also enclose a bill from Alvins Photo which must be mostly yours. The 5 August item is mine, but the 2 and 26 September items are not; the 2 Sept. must be for your slides which I picked up, and I know nothing of the later item, since I had left Pasadena by then. Anyway, I am sending a check to them for the 7.28 item, and am suggesting to them that they attempt not to confuse my bill with yours.

  While on the subject of money, there were a couple of items that you and Lucy didn't settle on. First of all, we agreed that you should buy from that part of the case of gin that I bought that we did not use; I think that we were responsible for the use of five of the bottles. The case cost $42.00, therefore the net for seven bottles is $24.50. That price was 20% off retail, which was the only reason I bought it in the first place. I also paid $17.00 to have your amplifier checked over and repaired, which I don't think Lucy had record of.

  These items repeated, along with some others that my efficient wife didn't have on the list she gave you.

  Seven bottles gin: $24.50; amplifier: $17.00; Pac Tel and Tel, 10 July: $3.79; Allen, piano tuning, 15 July: $20.00. Total: $65.29.

  There is also a bill I paid to Monise for the Porsche: At a lube, which I feel I should pay for, I asked that the wheel bearings be repacked; however it was necessary to replace both the front wheel bearings and the grease seals, and thus this got a might expensive. I feel of two minds about giving this to you, though, since I had the use of the car all summer. However, that bill which I have here, was for $50.30 in total, of which $9.05 was for the lube and oil change. Of the remaining $41.25, I will leave to your discretion whether or not you feel that I ought to take care of that matter. While on the subject of the Porsche, that car is in excellent condition, and I feel is better than the new ones. I spent a good deal of time trying to make it look nice this summer, polishing the paint, saddle-soaping the leather, mounting the license plates correctly with little chromium frames, etc., and was rewarded, by making the car look prettv good. I only hope that it stays that way. I replaced little rubber gaskets here and there as necessary; as for performance, it ran fine for me all summer.

  Well, enough on such a mundane topic. Thanks a lot for the check that you sent; I'm sorry that I haven't written sooner.

  Our apartment is quite nice, and now we have gotten fairly well settled. However, the furniture that Lucy's parents are sending us hasn't shown up as yet, so we are still sort of camping. The table and chairs arrived with me in the car, none the worse for wear. The chairs rode on the roof, and got a little wet in the Oregon liquid sunshine. I left them in Uncle George's garage while I house-hunted, and he very kindly glued the split ones together for us. He certainly is sweet. I stayed for a few days with their son Sterling, who has a very nice new house, and then we discovered that their other son George Jr. lives right across the street from our apartment. Everyone has been very kind, and I think that they are not just being polite to a relative. I want to be careful not to impose on anyone.

  School is going very well. I am taking Genetics of Microorganisms, Cell Physiology, Biochemistry, and Bacteriology. All of the courses seem to me to be well organized and valuable; I am particularly impressed by a fellow in Biochem named Edmond Fischer, who I understand was at CIT for a while. His lectures are just excellent, well organized and well presented, and he is very good at explaining difficult concepts to the class. For the first time I feel that I understand the Michaelis-Menton equation, and the derivation of the K_M. The committee and I decided that I would be wise not to try to do any research for a while, until I get full graduate standing. I think that this is wise, because research can be very time-consuming.

  Two or three of my friends from Reed have come here as well, so that we have some friends around. I have also made an acquaintance with Jan van Niel, who is a grad student in zoology. He remembered visiting us in Pasadena in about 1946, but I confess I don't remember that. He is very nice, and seems to be a smart fellow.

  There certainly are some interesting questions to think about. The present idea of a chromosome is that it consists of a protein backbone with the DM as little side chains. The question of separation of the two strands of DNA is interesting; I wonder if the segment completely uncoils, or if there is some process of breakdown and reformation. A second interesting point to ponder is the mechanism of gene action; with the Watson-Crick model, with the nitrogen bases in the centre of the helical structure, how do they transmit the information carried by their sequential arrangement to the outside of the molecule, to transfer it to RNA or nucleoprotein. If I can fit it in, I am going to take an advanced biochem lab from Joe Kraut, and he said that I could do much as I please. I think that I might do some density gradient study of phage DNA if I do take that course.

  Well, I'm sorry so much of this letter is related to money. I also enclose something about [illegible].

  Much love

  Crellin, Lucy, Cheryl

  Dear Ralph,

  I have been interested to read your report on the alloys of silver and palladium.

  I think that the discussion on page 13 is not quite as I would give it. The radius of sliver for valence 6 is given in table 6 of my 1949 paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, by interpolation between 5 and 7, as 1.328 A. The value for radius 5.5 is 1.342 A. These are the single-bond radii. When corrected for bond number, they become 1.418 and 1.442, respectively. The second of these corresponds to the observed lattice constant for silver, and the first to a value O.067 A less, that is, about 4.01 A. I would accordingly expect that the lattice constant for alloys with between 0 and 40 percent silver would lie on the line connecting the lattice constant of palladium with the value 4.01. Then I would expect that the slope would change, heading toward the value 4.08. As you point out, the observed deviations from Vegard's law are in the right direction, but only about thirty percent of predicted.

  I do not know why there is not agreement with the predicted values. Perhaps there is only partial electron transfer, rather than complete.

  You will note that the equations 11 in the paper give the dependence of atomic radius on electronic number of the atom, with the term -0.043 z. I have usually interpreted this equation as meaning that z is the number of outer electrons in the neutral atom, and that the same expression is to be used, with the same value of z, when there is electron transfer. I judge that your statement on page 13 i3 based upon the assumption that z is the actual number of outer electrons in the atom, which is contrary to the definition as given in my paper and the usage that I have made of the equation.

  I have just got back from Cornell, where I spent two weeks giving the Messenger Lectures. I had planned to write to you about Neilen before leaving, but then, when I talked with him, I thought that I would wait until my return. He probably has told you about the action that he has taken. His situation, which seems to have taken him by surprise, is the following. During the last year and a half it has been evident to me that he was not making very good progress in completing his thesis, and I tried in a number of ways to apply some pressure to him. Professor Corey and Professor Niemann also made similar efforts. These efforts were not successful, however, and it became clear to me, about a month ago, when I found that he had not got very much done during the summer, that he would not be able to finish his thesis during the fall term. When I looked into the matter, I found that the Institute regulation about the number of terms of graduate residence allowed a student would apply to him at the next registration—he would not be allowed to register again, in January, unless he obtained special permission of the graduate committee of the Institute, and Professors Niemann and Swift felt that the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering could not be able to make a very strong recommendation for him. Accordingly we talked the matter over with Neilen. Professors Niemann and Swift suggested that he apply for leave of absence at the present time, and I pointed out to Neilen that if he were to be given leave of absence now, he could work on his thesis until he had reached the point where he felt that the thesis could be completed in three months. He could then return, as a registered graduate student, for one term, without having to get special permission, and obtain his degree, after submitting the thesis and taking the examination. I have not seen Professor Niemann since getting back from Cornell, but I suppose that Neilen followed this advice, and has obtained leave of absence. I may say that Professor Niemann told me that he thought that the leave of absence would be given with a condition for reregistration later—namely, that Neilen in the meantime take a job. We have the feeling that it may be good for Neilen to have a regular routine to which he is required to adhere.

  I may say that I think that Neilen should have no trouble with his doctoral examination. He seems to have real difficulty in settling down to the research that must be completed to constitute his thesis. This is a theoretical study of hybridization of bond orbitals in the hydrogen molecule ion and hydrogen molecule.

  Also, I should tell you that Neilen has done an excellent job in handling his freshman chemistry section. He has been completely reliable so far as attendance at the meetings of the section goes, and I judge that his relationship with the students has been very good.

  I have felt, as has also Professor Niemann, that Neilen might really not be interested in science. His actions—his failure to settle down to work on his research and also his failure to read any of the scientific literature— suggest this; but Neilen himself says that he is interested in science, or at any rate that there is nothing else that he has a greater interest in. This summer he seems to have spent most of his time playing chess or arranging that other people play chess. I judge that he has had good personal contacts in this, and that he has not been retiring within himself.

  I am hoping to see Neilen soon, and to find out what his plans are for the next few months.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh

  2 October, 1959

  Dear Linus,

  Many thanks for your letters, both the one from Geneva and the latest.

  I have been busy trying to write my thesis and get things done, and also the house we were trying to buy has fallen through. Consequently, I have not written.

  I am quite pleased with Julia. She has been working very hard to get things going well, she is on a pretty strict schedule to get things done, and we are getting along well. The boy is full of beans; school does him a lot of good.

  We are pleased about your new girl though I cannot say that I am much in favor of her name. We are trying to think of names and it certainly is difficult. I shall tell you something about what I think about money. It seems to me that any any allowance or other sort of money that I or someone else gets is essentially good if it increases that persons liberty, increases his freedom of action. I think that the money is not worth it if it decreases liberty, if one has to do things or behave in such and such a way in order to get the dough. Consequently, it seems to me good that you and Anita can broaden your lives so much, you are not accountable to anyone except yourselves, but not accountable to any one particular person. It is magnificent that your lives can be so full, that you being yourselves can see so many possibilities in life, can then do them. It gives you freedom of course to make a ball of things too, if you should want.

  Now an allowance is dangerous, for while it increases liberty in the sense that it allows things to be done that otherwise could not be done, it might restrict liberty because the giver may feel that he has the right to control the behavior of the receiver in some way. If the receiver admits that the giver has some control, if the receiver loses his liberty in order to gain the money, then it seems to me bad. In particular I shall be damned first before doing something for someone for the lolly.

  Of course this is not quite right, because one has to eat and consequently one has to have a job and if one has a job then there are restrictions on one of some sort. However, one is willing to put up with more restrictions from some people than with others.

  Now it seems to me that we, you me and Pop, are rather alike in some ways. One way is that we will not be kicked around by the others, and the other is that if we give money to someone we expect him to do what we want. These are mutually exclusive. It seems to me, that though Pa has been immensely good about not restricting, he basically feels that he can say what the hell goes on, as evidenced by the fact that he thinks he can make me follow his hair brained ideas by cutting off the lolly, and by the fact that he will not make a hard and fast agreement. He is loose with the talk but will not arrange a definite amount per unit time automatically regularly.

  If thats the way he feels, he'll have to keep it. An allowance gives me liberty to stay in academic Europe, if thats what I wanted to do. That is the minimum standard of living possible an a European academic salary is below the minimum standard of living that I am willing to accept. Now I think that you think that I do not want a European academic life, and that there is a way to get me out of it. Well, in a sense you are right. I do not think I can be happy as a chemist. I am not so sure about the academic part of it. I rather like being stimulated by a lot of young people about, and having the summers off, and not having to work on any set job, say electronic engineering, for any extended time. That is, I am interested in designing things for a while, but then I get bored. Anyway, life is a compromise and we shall see. At least you have me thinking about it all.

  I might say that I appreciate very much your obviously sympathetic letters. While I do not wholely agree with your philosophy of noncompetition, it is obvious that you have made a better solution to our mutual problem than I, and I think you solution is improving as evidenced by you being willing to take summer holidays. There is our rivalry which must affect our relations(and how much help you can give me) until I have settled and am satisfied with my life.

  Letter 2

  What I said about money applies to you too, of course, except that when I have a specific request, then it is only proper that control rest essentially with you.

  Joy was up the other day. She was going to look at our house but it had already fallen through.

  Though now I am not interested in house purchase since I think that I shall probably leave here in a year or two I shall tell you why I have wanted to buy. Firstly, the tax system and the economic situation of this country is such that it is cheaper to purchase a house for a period of two years or more than any other possible means of living. That is, interest is tax deductible, unfurnished rents have been cheap and unobtainable do to the control, now they are obtainable but expensive. That is one pays rent and it is lost, one buys, the interest on the mortgage is tax deductible and the capital payments are a form of saving.

  Secondly, as I told you in a letter some years ago, if I had a house,(a payed for house) it would be equivalent to an allowance without strings, and I don't know whether you approve of allowances without strings (see letter 1), but I do.

  I shall write you another letter on the points of house purchases and other interesting things. I must go home now and I have really run down.

  Much love to you and Anita and the kids,

  27 October 1959

  To: Dr. Shaw

  From: Linus Pauling

  Subject: General anesthesia

  In connection with our research on the nature of general anesthesia and narcosis, I have the following suggestions to make about work to be done during the next month or two. Could you gather together a list of all substances that have general anesthetic action? Also, we should have references for some of them. The work on xenon is especially important, because this substance plays a basic part in the development of the theory. Also, I think that it would be good to check up on nitrogen. People who have studied deep-sea diving have reported that nitrogen-narcosis occurs, when divers received a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen under high pressure. Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen or helium and oxygen do not produce the same effect.

  Also, could you check on the formulation of crystalline hydrates by the various substances that have general anesthetic activity. In particular, I do not remember seeing references to the formation of a hydrate by diethyl ether, and we should check up on this point.

  You might consider the possibility of carrying out some experiments on the formation of crystalline hydrates, with melting points considerably above 0 degrees Celsius. Perhaps some experiments could be carried out on systems involving water, a general anesthetic, and a protein, to see whether the charged side chains of the proteins contributes to the stabilization of microcrystals of the hydrates.

  I shall plan to talk with you further about this problem in December.

  30 October 1959

  Dr. A. E. Kerr, President

  Dalhousie University

  Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

  Dear Professor Kerr:

  I am deeply perturbed to learn from Professor J. Gordin Kaplan that Professor Eugene P. Wigner should have written to you, complaining about an action that Professor Kaplan had taken, in publishing a short article in the journal Science.

  The article published by Professor Kaplan was a criticism of the announcement issued by the General Advisory Committee of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission about the biological effects of radioactive fallout from the testing of atomic weapons. It is my opinion that Professor Kaplan was justified in publishing his critical statement about the report issued by the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission, and that he rendered a service to the world by doing so. On the other hand, I deplore the action taken by Professor Wigner, in writing to you. If he were dissatisfied with the article by Professor Kaplan, he should have replied to it, in the pages of Science. I cannot find ethical justification for his apparent effort to suppress free discussion of an important matter by working through you, the President of the university in which Professor Kaplan carries on his work.

  Professor Kaplan is not the only one who has made strongly critical statements about the action of the General Advisory Committee of the A.E.C. Very strong criticism is made by Dr. Ralph Lapp in the last issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. I myself, in an address to a public meeting of over 3,000 people in Carnegie Hall in New York City, given on 25 October 1959 (last Sunday), also made very strong statements about this action of the General Advisory Committee of the A.E.C.

  I know the members of this Committee. I pointed out in my public address that none of the members of the Committee is a biologist or has had a good background of experience in biology. In particular, I know Professor Wigner, and I know that he does not have the background of knowledge of biology and medicine to discuss these questions in a very reliable way.

  The statement made by the General Advisory Committee of the A.E.C. seemed to me to be clearly a whitewashing of the atomic bomb tests, probably part of a propaganda campaign to permit the resumption of atomic bomb tests by the United States. The statements made would in general reassure the reader in an unjustified way. Many of the statements are seriously misleading. For example, to say that fallout radiation is less than five percent of natural background radiation, without also stating that natural background radiation is responsible for a considerable fraction of all congenitally defective children born in the world, is misleading. To say that the amount of strontium-90 found in food and water is less of a hazard than the amount of radium normally present in the

  public drinking water supply in certain places in the United States, without saying that nobody knows how many cases of cancer are produced by this radium in the some hundreds of thousands of people who drink the water, is seriously misleading.

  For five years, during the whole of the fallout controversy, the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission remained silent about this question. Only now, when an effort is being made by the A.E.C. to prevent the formulation of an agreement to stop the testing of all nuclear weapons through the negotiations of the representatives of the nuclear powers in the Second Bomb-test Conference in Geneva, has the General Advisory Committee taken action, by the issuance of a statement that seems clearly designed to work to prevent this agreement from being made and to permit the A.E.C. to resume the explosions of nuclear weapons.

  The situation seems to me to be made clear by the speech of Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota in the Senate of the United States on Tuesday 18 August 1959. Mr. Humphrey voiced his grave concern lest through indecision and internal differences our government might contribute to the breakdown of the negotiations. He said "Our negotiators are burdened by obstacles which have been built primarily by the Atomic Energy Commission and to a lesser extent by the Defense Department. The A.E.C. seems to have difficulty in remembering that it was not created to be a policy-making body in the area of foreign relations. Although I think that the A.E.C has overstepped the bounds of its functions in this instance, nevertheless, I cannot dispute its right to argue its case. The A.E.C. is allowed to continue to oppose the official position of the United States and to inject its own views on foreign policy due to a lack of leadership at the top."

  He also said "The A.E.C. and the Pentagon evidently are so eager to resume testing that they are promoting and fostering newspaper reports to that effect," He further said "We could conceivably claim that tests should be resumed because there are no harmful effects of fallout and that the test ban talks are not asking progress, two of the lines of argument being advanced by the A.E.C. The facts on the former are uncertain, as I have said, and the facts on the latter are to the contrary."

  I may discuss the two points raised by Professor Wigner. The first point refers to the second paragraph of the article by Professor Kaplan. Professor Kaplan says "That the total quantity of radiation reaching the whole body from outside is far greater is largely irrelevant to the question of the potential dangers of fallout from nuclear tests." He says that throwing rubber balls at a person is not an intelligent way of finding out what would happen were he to swallow one. Professor Wigner says that the rubber ball analogy is inept.

  I am not sure myself that the rubber ball analogy is the best one that Professor Kaplan could have used, but I am afraid that Professor Wigner does not know the facts about biological damage by radioactive elements. For example, the damage done by carbon-14 inside the human body is without doubt greater than the amount that one would calculate from consideration of the radiation alone: that is, if the same amount of radiation came from outside the body.

  Dr. A. E. Kerr

  There is another effect-damage to a molecule by the radioactive change of an atom in that molecule. In my estimate of the genetic and somatic effects of carbon-14, I decided that the latter effect is only ten percent of the former effect. However, three Atomic Energy Commission scientists, Drs. Totter, Zelle, and Hollister, in their discussion of carbon-l4 concluded that the latter effect is equal to the former effect. Their estimates agreed closely with mine with respect to the damage done by the radiation effect, but their estimate as to the second effect was ten times as large as mine. Accordingly there is a greater amount of damage done to human beings by radioactive elements inside the body than by radiation from outside equal in amount to the radiation liberated by the radioactive elements inside the body.

  Professor Wigner, in the third paragraph of his letter, also states that Dr. Kaplan has uncritically accepted a single published number, which is probably incorrect. It is not evident from Professor Wigner's letter what the possibly incorrect published number is, but Professor Kaplan apparently thinks that it is the number 0.0001 microcuries of strontium-90 per gram mentioned by Engstrom and collaborators as related to the development of osteosarcoma in dogs three years after injection of the radiostrontium. I am not able to say whether this number, which is correctly quoted by Professor Kaplan from the book by Engstrom and associates, is correct or erroneous. From the paper by Professor Kamb and me on the effects of strontium-90 on mice it can be seen that a significant increase in incidence of bone tumors in mice is produced by injection of 0.02 microcuries of strontium-90 per gram; that is, about 200 times the amount mentioned. Probably dogs are more susceptible than mice because of their larger volume and larger number of cells, any one of which may become cancerous. Accordingly I think that it was justified for Professor Kaplan to quote the figure given in the book by Engstrom and collaborators, even though there is the possibility that an error was made in the book.

  Professor Wigner concludes his letter with the sentence "What I am objecting to is the tone of his article, which is abusive and lacks scientific spirit and detachment." I have a very similar complaint to make about the report by the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission: it is that this report lacks scientific spirit and detachment and is immoral, in that it is worded in such a way as to seriously mislead the people of the United States about a very important question.

  Again let me say that I thoroughly approve of the action taken by Professor Kaplan in publishing his article in Science, and I strongly criticise Professor Wigner for his apparent effort to cause trouble for Professor Kaplan by writing to you.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling: jh
