/ We have searched the tran
script with extreme care In an
effort to identity possible in
stances where, In this proceeding
DR.. Oppenheimer recalled, or re-
counted for the first time, per
tinent details with respect to
Communist meetings and with
respect to individuals with Com
fmunist connections" In the
hundreds Of pages occupied by
his direct and cross examination
1t is not possible to identify from
the record more than a handful
Of such incidents.
He appears to have mentioned
in these proceedings for the first
time that a "Jack Straus" was
present at one of the two social
gatherings-in 1941-"of appar-
emily well-to-do people," which
Schneidermann, an oficial of the
Communist Party in California,
addressed and DR.. Oppenheimer
attended. But when asked whether
those present "were other Com
munistS or fellow Travellers" DR..
Oppenheimer replied:
al am not sure Of Jack
StrauS.
"Q.-Jack who?
"A.-Straus. I am not sure
where he stood. :"
II this was, as we believe, the
first time DR.. Oppenheimer men,
toned Jack Straus, is he to be
condemned or even criticized for
not having mentioned or perhaps
remembered on earlier occasions
a man about whom he knew so
little?
Another somewhat similar in
stance is his answer to a ques-
ton about the names of the. off,
GERS Of a Teachers Union in the
late sos or early 4OS, dur
ing his tenure as recording
secretary. He recalled that a
Margaret Ellis" was president
at one time.
In another instance DR.. OPP
penheimer recalled a Communist
unit meeting at his brothers
home at Pasadena. The date was
1889 or earlier. DR.. Oppenheimer
and another colleague, Prof. CAL
win Bridges, now dead, who also
was not a member Of the party,
attended as visitors. The char
acter Of this meeting, as de-
Scribed in DR.. Oppenheimer's
testimony before the board.
would seem to account for his
not having mentioned it before:
So. The meeting made no
detailed impression on me, but I
do remember there was a lot Of
fuss about getting the literature
distributed, and I do remember
that the principal item under
discussion was segregation in the
municipal pool in Pasadena"
Testimony Of DIR. Rabi.
In his testimony before the
board, DR.. Rabbi, the present
chairman Of the GAO, de-
scribed the dilemma with which
he and his professional COL
leagues are confronted as a re-
suit of the security system:
a.. The country has been di-
vlded into sheep and goats.
There are the people who are

the meeting had taken place al
Chevalier's home: and that the
FBI agents did not tell him
that they were interested in thu
meeting because it had some
thing to do with Chevalier but
rather. simply. that they were
doing 1t to test his veracity. II
was not until after the inter-
view, when DR.. Oppenheimer told
his wife about it. that she re-
minded him that the meeting
was at the Chevaliers. When
later in 1850. DR.. Oppenheimel
was again questioned by FBI
agents about this meeting, hav.
ing been by now reminded by
his wife that there was such 8
meeting and that it had been
held at Chevalier's house, DR.
Oppenheimer told the FBI
agents Of the meeting, and the
board so found.
The majority Of the board next
says:
In a subsequent interview, he
declined to discuss people he had
known to be Communists"
The only such subsequent in
terview to which this comment
can reasonably refer is the one
mentioned at pages $685. Of the
transcript, in the following cross
examination Of DR.. Oppenheimer
by special counsel to the COM
mission:
"Q-Do you recall when you
were interviewed by the FBI
in 1850. you were asked about
DR.. Adds?
AYES.
"Q.-And you declined to dis
cuss DR.. Addis2
Ayes.
'iQ.-You said he was dead and
couldn't defend himself?
Al did say that.
"Q.-What do you think he
had to defend himself against?
"A.-Being close to the Com
munist Party.
'Q.-At least he was enough
Of a friend so you wouldn't dis
cuss him with the FBI, is that
correct?
Ayes.
"Q.-That was in 1850?
al asked if it were impor-
tant and they thought not.
"Q.-They asked you about
him. though, didn't they?
"A.-They were asking about
"Q.-Didn't they also ask
about your friends?
"A.-Not much"
We cannot believe that even
under stringent security require
mentS a man is obliged to talk
about a dead friend to the FBI,
especially when the agents touch
upon the subject but then appear
not to regard it as important
enough to pursue.
Next the. majority says:
Indeed, in the course of this
proceeding, DR.. Oppenheimer re-
called pertinent details with re-
spect to Communist meetings
and with respect to individuals
with Communist connections,
which he had never previously
disclosed in the many interviews
with Government authorities, in
spite Of the fact that he had
been interviewed regarding such

us in the war years. and by all
Of us, ! mean all people in SCI
entif1c technical occupations got
suddenly in contact with a uni
verse we had not known before.
! mean this peculiar problem Of
security, the fact that people
who looked all right might be
conspirators and might be spies.
They are all things which do not
enter ones normal experience in
ordinary times. While we are
now most of us quite prepared
to discover such things in our
encourage, we were not prepared
to discover these things In 1913.
So I must say that this had on
anyone a shock effect, and any
one Of us may have behaved
foolishly and inefectively and
untruthfully. so this condition

would not consider too serious.
This would affect me the same
way as If I would suddenly hear
about somebody that he has had
some extraordinary escapade in
his adolescence"
DR.. Won Neumann clearly in
dicated his opinion that, in mat
tiers Of security, DR.. Oppenheimer
was no longer an adolescent,
that he had grown up and
learned and matured:
%. If such an approach were
made to DR.. Oppenheimer to-
day, what do you think his re-
action would be?
"a. I have no doubt that he
would report it,"
The majority lists six items
supposed to show actions sub
sequent to the Chevalier Incl
dent inconsistent with the Sc
curity system. We take these
up in order.
First, the board makes this
criticism of DR.. Oppenheimer:
In an interview with
agents of the FBI in 1916, which
in good part concerned itself
with questions about Chevalier.
when asked about a meeting
which DR.. Oppenheimer had at
tended, at which Communists
and Communist Sympathizers
were in attendance, he declined
to discuss it on the ground that
it was irrelevant, although the
meeting itself was held in Che
valier'S home :"
On this point, DR.. Open
heimer said in his answer that:
81 did not then recall this
meeting, and in particular did
not in any way connect it with
Chevalier, about whom the agents
were questioning me; hence it
seemed wholly irrevelant to the
matter under discussion. Later
my wife reminded me that the
Berkeley meeting had occurred
at the house of the ChevalierS:
and when I was asked about it
by the FBI in 1850, I told
them So" -
His testimony before the board
was precisely to the same effect
and was in no way impeached.
DR.. Oppenheimer testified that.
at the time of the FBI inter-
view, he did not even recall that

a liasion committee which has
worked on matters of mutual in

commended its committee members
on their efforts to foster the in

Two years ago, the two associa-

host to the SACS, however, no
such meeting has since been held
despite the fact that the two as

Baha'i Marks
Its 10th
Anniversary.

The 10th anniversary of the be-
ginning of a new religious dispen-
sation will be observed by BAHIA is
throughout the world on May
%, the day of the Declaration of
the Bah, it was announced today
by Mrs. Ethel Crane, secretary of
the Baha'i Group of Key West.
ION May %, 1874" explained
Mrs. Crane, ''the Spirit of religion
was reborn, as foretold in Matthew,
Jeremiah, and Daniel. The Bah,
or Gate to God proclaimed His
twofold mission as an independent
Manifestation of God, and Herald
of One greater than Himself, Who
would inaugurate new and unpre-
cedented era in the religious his
toy of mankind" In the following
six years the Bah laid the founda-
ton for this new age through His
laws and teachings, and prepared
the way for the advent of the Pro-
missed One of all religions. Three
years after the Bob's public martyr.
dom in 1850, aha'u'llah the "Glo.
ry of Cod" began His mission as
the elimination of prophetic cy-
Gle. dating from Adam.
Since then, this Spirit has pene.
trated into every phase of human
activity. We have seen the rise of
science, the spread of invention,
the revolution of industry; the mo-
vements of people, the clash of ma.
tons, and the implacable struggle
of social philosophers. In such ways
is the human race being disciplin-
ed and trained to conform to the
requirements of a new and won
derful age that is now in the max
ing.
Their fundamental teachings OF
the oneness of religion and the com.
ing unity of mankind have attract.
ed millions of followers, known as
BAHIA 'is,' said Mrs. Crane. To-day
Baha'is reside in more than 22S
countries of the world, working for
this coming of age of the entire
human race"
