fields to be able to design. assemble and

time an atomic bomb And that autumn,
touring the New Mexico desert in station
wagon with Major General Leslie Groves,
Oppenheimer pointed out the Los Alamos
site as likely place for these studies"
Putting It Together
lHE story of Los Alamos has been told
and retold. 1t has been called the nerve CEN
ter of the Manhattan Project Whether that
is accurate or not, it can be said that the
vast job of developing and manufacturing
fashionable materials was done at Oak Ridge
and Hanford, and that the job at Los
Alamos was to put them together in the
ultimate form of bomb
Los Alamos began to function in March,
1943, with 60 people In two and half years
it grew to community of $500 Open
heiner was boss from beginning to end,
turned in fine administrative job. A
physicist who was out there for the full time
says: Consider the fact that Oppy had con-

of other eminent scientists A man might
have labored year, over some method of
developing the bomb, and suddenly, just as
he was getting somewhere. Oppy would have
to stop him cold and put him on something
that looked more promising. That's heart
breaking stuff, and it's real tribute to
man when he can do it to others and
still have them pulling for him.
BY June, 1945, Los Alamos was tuned up
to desperately high pitch. If there was
ever to be bomb, now was the time. One
day Oppenheimer would be flying off for
secret sessions with General Groves; the next
day he'd be prowling through the labora-
tories, peering over the shoulders of his
friends, trying to coordinate every effort for
the critical deadline they were approaching.

Oppenheimer' preoccupation with science
began during that he calls disturbed and
rather dark childhood" in New York City,
The son of Julius Oppenheimer a prosperous
textile importer from Germany, he grew up
in an apartment on Riverside Drive and
summer place on Long Island. At the
Ethical Culture School he digested full
years chemistry course in six weeks and
named his first sailboat ''Trinethy" in
honor of tri1nethylene chloride.
Upon graduation from this school, he
received present of $3.50 from his parents.
He gravely turned it over to the head of his
physics department. advising him to buy a
good volt ammeter for the lab
Oppenheimer entered Harvard at the age
of II and finished in three years, with AS in
all but one course. In three months he picked
up his doctorate with thesis, written in
German. entitled: Zu1 Q,tontentheorie kon-
ttnuierlicher Spektyen. This was one of
four foreign languages he had learned
ON the side. Another was Sanskrit.
In 1929 Oppenheimer came home and
began teaching at Cal Tech and the Univer-
sity of California. 1t took him a while to get
the hang of it. His trouble, briefly, was that
he lectured at an unmerciful clip and was
then inclined to be impatient with less agile
minds. To make matters worse, his delivery
was so quiet it was not uncommon for STU
dents in the first row to beg him to speak up

his lectures, students turned into disciples.
Many of them still identify themselves by
initiating him. The slight stoop. the glancing
over shoulder as though followed, the
pork-pie hat - these are the marks of an
Oppenheimer devotee And when a young
physicist begins speaking in that low. urgent
tone, saying, 'Yeh, yeh, and using this"
where most people use that" the associa-
tion is unmistakable.
Itwas during the thirties that Oppenheimer
became familiar with the spot which was
later to make him known throughout the
country. He was good horseman, and every

Lest the story falter, however,
we return to the Brown-O'Hearn

"You should see O'Hearn,"
Brown carefully says to no one in
particular, "circling the parking
lot three or four times of morn

before taking Off"
To this and other imputations
that his control is not without
fault, The O'Hearn counters with
the simple statement that the folks
on route one are putting their
porches back on again.
"But," Brown insists, show
about that time you iced up over

There is, replies O'Hearn, not
the slightest basis for such re.

topic is there truth in the tale
that an experienced member OF

Thanks also for your kind COM

offer even more service in the

Soviet conception c. atomic con-
troll meant that inspection would
be carried out by international
agents, or by the citizens Of the
country being inspected.
The letter indicated Canada be-
lieved that every nation signing
an atomic control treaty should
have the privilege Of sending its
nationals into the territory OF
other treaty-signers to make sure
that the treaty was being observ-
ed.
Russia has accepted the princi-
pie Of international inspection
and control" Western power dele
gates, however, repeatedly have
failed to get the Soviet to agree
to inspection by non-Russians.
Gromyko indicated today that
he would reply eventually to the
Canadian letter, but only after
getting instructions from Moscow.
The Canadian inquiry was put in
writing after Gromyko had duck
ed verbal questions.
Dodges Issue
Gromyko sought to tack onto
the so-caled Baruch plan a pro-
viso that control and inspection
would be started on "existing
plants as soon as an atomic con-
troll treaty is signed. For two
weeks, Osborn has lodged taking
sides on this issue, apparently
feeling that the United States -
which presumably owns most OF
the worlds existing" atomic IA
cilities-had the most to lose.
During one exchange, Gromyko
repeated that the Soviet version Of
control did not mean interna-
tional management supervision
and licensing Of atomic activities.
That, however, is what the United
States, Britain and Canada want.
