Action on Dr.. Oppenheimer

nical, moral and politica
grounds. In so far as DIR.
Oppenheimer'S opposition was
based on the then existant nu-
clear technology, it was shared
by several other able men. Tech
nical advances, which they did
not anticipate, were to make the
construction of the bomb alto
gether simpler than had seemed
possible. -.
Scientists as a community
feel no obligation to vindicate
all of DR.. Oppenheimer's judg-
ments. Many scientists have
disagreed with him in the past.
To cite one example, he was one
of the very few scientists who
had favored the May-Johnson
bill, which would have continued
military control of the atomic
energy project after the war.
But past differences do not af-

and our respect for his motives. +"

six days beyond the scheduled

DR.. Oppenheimer is chairman
of the Bulletins Board of Spon-

DR.. Oppenheimer, who guided
the work of scientists contribut-

cess to classified material on the
ground he associated with Com
munists in the early days of
World War II and later opposed
development of the hydrogen
bomb.
The Bulletin said in an edi-
torial:
"It seems to us a breach Of
faith on the part of the Govern

in full knowledge of his life his
