  8 October 1961

  Dear Friend:

  On our return from our trip to Vermont, Germany, and London, my wife and I have resumed our schedule of lecturing about the need for peace in the world. She went to San Francisco ten days ago, to speak for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and also for the Unitarian Church Forum, and I spoke three days ago in a meeting in Los Angeles.

  I am especially concerned now not only by the resumption of nuclear testing but also by the great campaign that is going on to convince the American people that they should build fallout shelters. The construction of fallout shelters is, of course, a form of military activity. The protective effect of the fallout shelters can be completely neutralized by a fourfold increase in the magnitude of the attack. I have made this point in my last speech and in the press conference that I held in connection with the speech. A copy of my press release is enclosed.

  It is shocking to think that the two great nuclear powers should have got the world into the present situation, where there is the possibility that all of the people in the United States and the U.S.S.R. and in other European countries might be killed, if a nuclear war were to occur either by design or by accident. Could any responsible and moral person have planned to achieve this end? I think not - I think that we have got to this position because nobody was able to interfere with the course of events - the American authorities, as individuals, made decisions that they considered to be necessary ones, and the Russian authorities also made decisions that they considered to be necessary ones.

  It is my opinion that the Pugwash Conferences have much value. I attended the Seventh Pugwash Conference from 4 to 8 September 1961, in Stowe, Vermont. I did not think that very much was accomplished in a formal way, but the exchange of opinions and the increased amount of personal understanding, especially between American participants and Russian participants, are of great value, in my opinion.

  In my letter of 15 June 1961 to you I said that I would send you a copy of the report on the Pugwash Conferences that was issued by the Internal Security Subcommittee of the United States Senate, along with its other reports attacking the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and attacking me and other peace workers in the United States. I am afraid that I did not send this pamphlet to you, and accordingly I now enclose a copy.

  The report on the Pugwash Conferences contains much interesting material. Appendix V, beginning on page 107, gives a good idea of the Sixth Conference (I did not attend it). The statements made by Dr. Jerome Wiesner are especially interesting. Dr. Wiesner is now the Special Adviser for Science and Technology to President Kennedy. I think that he is a very able man, and that we are fortunate in having such an able man as the Science Adviser to our President.

  The conclusions stated by the Subcommittee about the Sixth Pugwash Conference, pages 93 and 94 give a much different picture of the Sixth Conference from that given by the round table discussion from page 107 on. The Subcommittee makes great use of a special technique for misrepresenting the facts. For example, on page 94 it is said "The full proceedings have never been made public In the United States although they have been seat to Soviet Premier Niklta S. Khrushchev." The Subcommittee misrepresents the situation here by not mentioning that they were also sent to the President of the United States.

  I think that the situation in the United States now is that these reports by the Internal Security Subcommittee, like those of the Un-American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives, have very little effect, because these committees have been so extreme in their actions and statements that they have succeeded in bringing discredit upon themselves. My wife and I have so far distributed 50,000 copies of the Oslo Statement, mainly by way of the American Friends Service Committee, the Unitarian, Methodist, and other churches, the Society for Social Responsibility in Science, and similar organizations, as well as in connection with our public speeches.

  My wife joins me in sending best regards to you. We probably shall come to Stockholm next summer, to participate in the Seventh International Conference on Coordination Chemistry, and we hope that we can spend a few days in Oslo again, at that time. It will be a pleasure to see you again.

  Cordially yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  10 October 1961

  Dear Christopher:

  I am pleased to have your letter, and I shall without doubt make use of it in preparing the next edition of The Nature of the Chemical Bond.

  I did not remember about your prediction of the structures on pages 380 and 381 of my book. If I had remembered, I might have included the reference, although I am not sure that I would have. I did include the 1921 reference on the diborane structure, but not the later ones, except experimental papers.

  My reason for not including structures with negative hydrogen atoms in discussing the boranes is that these structures are less stable than others, because of the smaller number of bonds that can be formed if two or the electrons are not involved in bond formation.

  You say that every organic chemist knows that the boranes behave as sources of hydride ions, not as acids. I did not know this, and I doubt it. I know about the use of substances such as lithium boro-hydride in organic chemistry.

  I shall get a copy of Orgel’s book, and see whether it helps me out. Some of the subjects that you mention, such as variation of thermodynamic stability with the number of d electrons, have, of course, been discussed by methods other than ligand field theory.

  I agree that one can scarcely expect to obtain a deep understanding of nature without some degree of sophistication, but I am determined to keep my book unsophisticated.

  The meeting in London went off very well. You probably have seen the statement that was approved unanimously, with no dissensions. It is interesting in containing the first significant opposition to resumption of nuclear testing and call for all governments to halt; tests that was issued by an international group, including Russians, after the resumption of tests by the Soviet Union. The participants in the Eighth Pugwash Conference issued a statement reaffirming the Vienna Declaration of the Third Pugwash meeting, which strongly opposed nuclear tests and called for general and complete disarmament. However, although all of the Russian participants approved, five of the American participants refused to sign. The London statement was issued on 16 September, and the Pugwash Statement on the same day. I was not a participant in the Eighth Pugwash Conference, although I participated in the Seventh Pugwash Conference, the week before.

  Sincerely,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Dear Linus:

  I am disturbed by the repetitive pattern in which the Press tells about new atomic tests, adding that the thousand-fold increase in fallout is not dangerous yet. This must give the impression that high-energy radiation below a certain limit is not harmful. As far as I know, there is no harmless radiation. Don't you think that something could, and should be done about this?

  With the best of regards, as always

  Yours,

  Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

  16 October 1961

  Dear Mr. Dougherty:

  I am pleased to have received your letter, and I shall try to give you some information about local radioactive fallout and protection against it.

  I enclose a press release containing some information. Also, I may say that I have written several articles about fallout shelters. One of them probably will appear in Frontier in about a month.

  The statements about half-time quoted in your letter do not have much meaning. The half life is a useful quantity for a pure radioactive substance, such as strontium 90, which has half life of 30 years. At the end of 30 years one half of the amount of the original strontium 90 still remains, and after 60 years one quarter remains undecomposed. The amount of radioactivity is proportional to the amount of the radioactive substance that remains undecomposed.

  The fission products produced by explosion of a nuclear weapon and brought to earth within a few hours as local fallout, in case of a ground burst, consist of a great number of different radioactive nuclides. About 5 percent of the total is strontium 90 and another 5 percent is cesium 137, which also has half life about 30 years. The remainder consists of a complex mixture of nuclides, some with extremely short half lives. The nature of this mixture is such that the high-energy radiation produced by the local fallout decreases rapidly in intensity.

  For example, let us assume that atomic bombs totalling 10,000 megatons had exploded over the United States, with two thirds of the explosive energy due to fission. Let us also assume that the local fallout is distributed uniformly over the whole country. Also, we can assume that 80 percent of the fission products constitute the local fallout.

  At the time three and one half hours after the explosion, when the fallout has for the most part come to earth, the intensity is 15,400 roentgens per day. This is the intensity of high-energy radiation three feet above the surface of the ground, 0.1 the average for the whole country. A dose of radiation of about 500 roentgens causes people to die in a few days of acute radiation sickness. This means that at that time people have about three quarters of an hour to find shelter. At two hours after the bomb burst they have only about fifteen minutes.

  At the end of one day the intensity is 1,540 roentgens per day. At the end of one week it is 154 roentgens per day. At the end of seven weeks it is down to 15 per day.

  What this means is that people would have to find shelter fast, and stay in the shelter, on the average, for about two weeks.

  However, the fallout is not uniformly distributed. In a region where the amount of fallout was ten times the average, people would have to stay in their shelters for two months.

  The attack that I have discussed above, with 10,000 megatons, is, I think, about what might be expected if war were to occur in the near future.

  I think that a principal argument against fallout shelters is that the protection provided by them would be nullified by increasing the scale of attack by the factor 4.

  After a 10,000 megaton attack or a 40,000 megaton attack all of the plants growing in the country would be highly radioactive, and practically all animals would be dead. A great difficulty, for which I see no solution, is to find food for the people that would not be so contaminated with radioactivity as to kill them, even if they had survived the initial dangerous period and had remained in the shelters long enough so as not to be killed by the radioactivity after they came out.

  Sincerely yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Premier Nikita Khrushchev

  Soviet Embassy

  W n t. DC

  Sent 6 PM

  18 Oct. 1961

  I urge that you revoke the plan for carrying out a test explosion of a 50 megaton bomb. The worldwide fallout from this great nuclear weapon would cause damage to the pool of human germ plasm such that during coming generations several tens of thousands of children would be born with gross physical or mental defect, who would be normal if the bomb test were not carried out. In addition, the carbon 14 produced in the atmosphere will continue to damage the human race for thousands of years. I have telegraphed President Kennedy asking that the United States pledge that it will not carry out further bomb tests if you revoke further testing. For the sake of human beings all over the world I beseech the Soviet Union to stop testing bombs and instead to redouble its efforts for peace and disarmament.

• Letter from LP to Malcolm C. McKenna. [Filed under LP Peace Box #7.007, Folder #7.22]

  Dear Mr. McKenna:

  Your letter shows that you are astoundingly ignorant. When you decide to criticize me, you should first find out whether you know the facts.

  Your letter begins with the sentence "I am curious concerning why you have not raised your voice against Soviet atmospheric testing when you were so vociferous against such testing by Americans."

  This sentence could hardly be more incorrect than it is.

  First, I have raised my voice against Soviet atmospheric testing.

  Second, I was not vociferous against such testing by Americans, but rather against all testing.

  As to the first point, I enclose the statements that I gave to the news agencies on 31 August and 2 September (the latter a cable to Khrushchev) and my news release of 29 September. I also refer you to the two-page interview with me that was published by U. S. News and World Report in their issue of 2 October 1961, and to my various other published statements, including my articles in Frontier and other magazines.

  As to the second, you clearly have not read my book No More War!, a flyer for which is enclosed, or you would know that I have strongly opposed nuclear tests by all nations.

  You probably have made the mistake of relying upon TIME magazine for your information. This is a great mistake. TIME magazine had a copy of my statement of 31 August and my cable of 2 September, but suppressed mention of them, and misrepresented my position by saying only that I was opposed to American nuclear tests. I don’t know how the American people, including you, can protect themselves against being deluded by unscrupulous publishers. Again, let me urge that you try to find out the truth before writing letters such as your letter of 17 October to me. It is helpful in this respect to read some of the liberal magazines.

  Yours truly,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Please send us some CREST toothpaste. Thomas likes it and it is good for him. It is the only toothpaste he likes. The others are too powerfull tasting for him. We have run out. I did not buy enough.

  I take size 16 by 32 shirts. I depend on you for my shirts. The tails are too short but the collars are nice. There are no sleeve length variations on English shirts.

  The house across the street has finally been sold, I am trying fairly hard to find a house. It cannot go on.

  Love,

  [Peter Pauling]

  27 October 1961

  Dear George,

  I don't think that you read the right newspapers or magazines. I enclose a copy of my press release of 29 September, which has attached to it my press releases of 31 August and 2 September, and my article in FRONTIER magazine, containing some of the same information. Some newspapers carried my statement of 31 August, but most of them did not, although the wire services sent it out. I think that the National Guardian carried the whole thing, but I am too busy to check up. The Minority of One published it, as well as FRONTIER.

  I also enclose a copy of my recent telegrams to Khrushchev and Kennedy about the 50-megaton bomb.

  Today I received an eight-page letter from Khrushchev, probably answering the 31 August statement - it is rather vague about what is being answered. In this letter Khrushchev takes a position that is, so far us I can see, identical with the American position. It is that the Soviet Union needs to have a stockpile of nuclear bombs to serve as a deterrent for the American militarists and especially for the West German militarists.

  The Russians have almost caught up with the United States in total megatonnage of bombs exploded in the atmosphere. If they explode their 50-megaton bomb, they will have surpassed us, and equalled the total for the United States and Great Britain.

  I have four articles about the fallacy of fallout shelters in course of publication, in FRONTIER, LIBERATION, MINORITY OF ONE, and a German magazine.

  I enclose a copy of my New York Times letter on strontium-90 and the use of added calcium. I understand that Consumer's Reports will carry an article giving advice about added calcium. They have found that all the calcium preparations on the market are free of strontium-90 except those made from bone meal.

  Cordially Yours,

  [Linus Pauling]

  Translation from Russian

  Dear Mr. Linus Pauling:

  I received your letter in which you voiced your concern that the Soviet Union was compelled to conduct experimental explosions of atomic and hydrogen weapons.

  We have already set forth the reasons which forced us to take such a decision. I wish only to emphasize once again that we have taken this step after a long consideration and not without a pain in heart, not without a sense of bitterness understandable to everyone who holds dear the ideals of securing peace among the peoples. Try to imagine yourself placed in a position in which our country has found itself - faced with sharp increase of war preparations which are being carried out by the NATO powers in sight of everyone, and that, perhaps, will help you better understand that the Soviet Government had no other alternative.

  The Soviet people who in the life of one generation were twice subjected to bandit attacks by the hordes of German militarists, know war not by hearsay, they saw it in their homes. In all fairness, no other people, no other nation suffered in World War II such heavy losses, such vast devastations as did our people and our nation. And is it necessary to explain that the sacrifices and loss of homefolks and relatives are irretrievable, and almost every Soviet family suffered such losses.

  Realizing better than many others what war is like and in particular a modern war with the use of rocket and nuclear weapons we have made and are making every effort to eliminate war from the life of human society, to achieve an agreement on general and complete disarmament. For that we have spared no effort. But unfortunately our efforts have not so far been successful.

  We have proposed most peaceful of all the peaceful things that can only be thought of in the present situation - to put an end to the vestiges of World War II, to conclude a German peace treaty. And what was the response of the Western powers? Have they accepted our proposal to meet and sit down at a round table to jointly work out a German peace treaty? Have they stated that they share our desire to work out a peace treaty on such a basis which would contribute to the elimination of the main source of friction between the powers, to the prevention of military conflicts, to the prevention of World War III? Not at all. As you know, our proposals have not been accepted by the Western powers.

  In response to our proposal that a peace treaty be concluded at last, after 16 years that passed since the end of the war, with Germany, with the two now existing German states, we hear almost daily this or that statesman of the United States, France, Britain, West Germany and their other allies in agressive military blocks remind us that if a German peace treaty is signed and on this basis the situation in West Berlin, which will get a status of a demilitarized free city, is normalized, then the NATO powers will respond to this with force. And they are not merely threatening war, they are saying it will be a thermonuclear one.

  Try to understand, dear Mr. Pauling, what the Soviet Union would be like if it continued to refrain, as if nothing at all has happened, from taking additional measures to strengthen its defense capacity including measures to perfect nuclear weapons while the NATO powers are responding with threats to its proposal that a German peace treaty be concluded. If we had not taken those measures, we would have committed an act which could not be justified either by history or - even less so - by our people and by the peoples of those countries which fell victims of invasion by the Hitlerite hordes. Have we acted otherwise, there would have been no excuse for us, on the part of any of the peoples who struggle for peace and wish to secure it.

  We cannot but take into consideration the fact that our country is encircled by American military bases and those bases are now being strengthened. The USA is sending its troops and military equipment to Europe. Since the beginning of this year the US military expenditures have been increased by more than six billion dollars; "strategic armed forces" which are nuclear forces are being expanded at a growing rate; the number of "Polaris" submarines is being rapidly increased; the number of the strategic bombers at the end of runways has been increased by 50 per cent; the long-range air force has been expanded, additional contingents of reservists have been called up and measures have been taken to bring the Army, Navy and Marine units to full strength in terms of personnel and equipment. Needless to say states usually resort to such measures, as is known, only when they are driving toward war.

  The West German revenge-seekers - and Chancellor Adenauer and Defense Minister Strauss set the tone in their chorus - are more and more persistent and noisy in their demands for nuclear weapons for the Bundeswehr which even now is the biggest army in Western European countries.

  And with all that the NATO powers want us to give up strengthening our armed forces and their perfecting. If we acted that way this would turn against all honest people who really want peace and condemn war; and so this would turn against us and against those who appeal to the Soviet Union not to weaken its efforts in consolidating peace.

  You may have some doubts - would it really be so? But think for yourself - if the NATO powers go on building up their military power and the Soviet Union and the Socialist countries remain inactive, fail to take care of strengthening their security, then - in the conditions created by the saber-rattling policy on the part of the NATO powers - this would undoubtedly lead not to the consolidation of peace but, on the contrary, would almost mean inviting the aggressor to an adventure, to unleashing war with all its consequences.

  How can one remain indifferent, for example, to a statement such as one made by Senator Margaret Smith? She actually demanded to use nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union in response to the conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany. You probably read about the threats which were made in this connection by Attorney General Robert Kennedy, brother of the President, and by Mr. McNamara, US Secretary of Defense. They both stated the intention of the Kennedy Administration to use nuclear weapons. And look what statements were recently made by Lord Home, British Foreign Minister, and Mr. Heath, Lord Privy Seal. All of them are trying to impress upon us the idea that if the USSR and other countries sign a German peace treaty, the NATO powers will in response unleash a nuclear war.

  We have repeatedly stated that we wish to sit down at a conference table with the Western powers and to achieve as soon as possible a peaceful solution so that a line could be drawn under World War II. But if the Western powers do not wish to do so we all the same will have to sign a peace treaty, which the interests of strengthening peace in Europe demand, and we will sign it.

  Naturally, we cannot ignore the attempts on the part of the NATO powers to resort to threats, but those threats we must say are to the wrong address. If the opponents of the conclusion of a peace treaty choose to fight against it by means of war, we must have no less powerful means to stop any attempts to unleash war.

  One cannot but be particularly puzzled to hear threats to ignite flames of rocket-nuclear war coming from those for whom the consequences of such a war would be many times more dangerous than, let us say, for the US or the USSR. The British Lord Privy Seal is threatening us with war. But he is probably forgetting that Britain is a small island and one where an American "Polaris" submarine base and American bombers with nuclear weapons are located and if hostilities start that island can be among the first to experience the crushing might of nuclear blows.

  The present policy of the NATO powers leads to a situation where one has to fear not just radioactive fallout but the lethal and destructive power of nuclear weapons themselves. This is the actual choice humanity is facing today. We are carrying out experimental tests and perfecting our weapons in order that mankind should never experience the horrors of nuclear war. The fact that nuclear weapons are in possession of the Soviet state serves as a stern warning to all those who resort to threats in connection with the question of signing a German peace treaty. The Soviet people and the peoples of other Socialist countries engaged in a peaceful constructive labor do not need wars. We proclaimed this to the whole world from the rostrum of the 22nd Congress of our Party which will adopt a grand program for building Communism in our country. We need peace to fulfill this program. We would be happy to sink the most modern and formidable weapons in the ocean. But if our partners in negotiations do not wish to agree to jointly sink the weapons, then, naturally, we, too, need these weapons. We know that peace and security cannot be begged for the peoples from aggressors by preaching love and tolerance. To war threats we have to answer by strengthening the defense of our country - we do not have any other alternative.

  All this shows clearly that it is the policy of the Western powers - NATO members - that is the source of international tension and arms race. To care for peace and for prevention of nuclear war, means that the efforts of the governments of all peace-loving countries as well as the efforts of the peoples should be aimed at making the Western powers stop saber-rattling and reach an agreement to put an end to the vestiges of World War II. This is the only reasonable way leading to peace and security. The Soviet Union as before will spare no effort to achieve this noble goal.

  As the Soviet Government already explained the way to solution of the question of cessation of nuclear tests is to be found in a solution of the problem of general and complete disarmament. In this case the question of cessation of nuclear tests and of non-use of nuclear weapons would be solved once and for all. To put an end to nuclear weapon tests, to the arms race, it is necessary to achieve without any delay a solution of the problem of general and complete disarmament.

  The Soviet Government has repeatedly declared that it is ready to sign a treaty on general and complete disarmament under the most strict international control. We are ready to do so right now.

  I would like to express my hope that the peoples of our countries will join their efforts in the struggle for a speediest solution of the problem of general and complete disarmament, for complete and unconditional ban on nuclear weapons, for delivering mankind from the threat of another world war.

  Sincerely,

  N. KHRUSHCHEV

  30 October 1961

  Dear Friend,

  The news has just reached me that the Soviet Union has exploded a great bomb, which is now estimated as perhaps 100 megatons in size. This is a shockingly immoral action. I think that the damage done to the human race by the radioactive fallout is probably much greater per megaton for these Russian explosions than for the earlier nuclear explosions, for two reasons. First, these great Russian bombs probably could not be exploded as ground bursts, as were our bombs at Bikini, because the droplets containing 80 percent of the radioactive fission products would fall to earth over Asian territory where the intensely radioactive materials shortly after the explosion would cause damage to human beings. In our tests in the Pacific this local fallout fell into the ocean, and did not do much harm. The local fallout constitutes about 80 percent of the total fallout, so that the Russian tests might distribute five times as much fission radioactivity per megaton over the whole world, as stratospheric fallout, as was distributed, per megaton, in the Pacific tests. A second reason is that the Russian tests are carried out at high latitude, and the time of residence of the radioactive fission products in the stratosphere is less than for tests carried out at Bikini. A smaller amount of the radioactive material has accordingly decomposed by the time that the material leaves the stratosphere and falls to the surface of the earth than in the case of the Pacific explosions.

  Last Friday I received a letter, eight pages, from Premier Khrushchev. I read in the newspapers that the same letter had been sent to President Nkrumah of Ghana, Prime Minister Ikeda of Japan, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, American scientist Dr. Linus Pauling, and a group of British MPs, all of whom had sent protests to him. The letter repeated the arguments in the Soviet government's statement of 31 August, that the Soviet Union was forced to increase the power of its nuclear deterrent in order to prevent an attack by the West, and that the rearming of West Germany constituted a menace that the Soviet Union could not ignore. The only encouraging thing about the letter from Khrushchev is that it ends with the sentences "The Soviet Government has repeatedly declared that it is ready to sign a treaty on general and complete disarmament under the most strict international control. We are ready to do so right now. I would like to express my hope that the peoples of our countries will join their efforts in the struggle for a speediest solution of the problem of general and complete disarmament, for complete and unconditional ban on nuclear weapons, for delivering mankind from the threat of another world war."

  These statements are closely similar to statements made by President Kennedy last month before the General Assembly of the United Nations. I feel sure that the present highly dangerous world situation will be resolved before long through international agreements leading to general and complete disarmament, even though there are serious problems, such as the economic dislocation in the United States that would result from a decrease in the military budget, that need to be solved.

  I shall probably go to London tomorrow for a television appearance about radioactive fallout on Friday, and then fly home on Saturday. As I mentioned in my last letter, my wife and I are going to Moscow on 18 November. We were invited by the Soviet Academy of Sciences to participate in the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the Russian scientist Lomonosov, after whom the University of Moscow is named. I answered by saying that I was not able to come, but the invitation was renewed, with increased urgency, in that the Academy of Sciences would like to have the two American honorary members, Dr. Bronk (President of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences) and me present, together with scientists from other countries. I am hoping that this visit to Moscow can be used to help the cause of peace.

  There has been vigorous discussion of the Russian bomb tests and of fallout shelters for protection in a nuclear war. The newspapers and magazines are full of articles on these subjects. I enclose a newspaper that shows the sort of discussion that is going on. I have tried to emphasize the point that the construction of shelters is a form of militarism. The protection provided would be completely neutralized by increasing the scale of attack by the factor four. It seems to me that there are powerful efforts being made now to prepare the American people to accept nuclear war.

  Nevertheless, I feel that we have to continue to fight for peace in the world and to be hopeful.

  Cordially,

  [Linus Pauling]
