Thompson Is
Rewarded For
Invention

Commander Richard H. Rice,
Acting Commanding Officer of the
Key West Naval Air Station, is
shown, presenting a SIS check to
Harold C. Thompson, a Navy civil
Ian employee, for developing a
screen lacking device now in use
ut the Naval Air Station.
.Thompson's invention is more
efficient than the previous method
used and will save an estimated
$54s.5O yearly, according to the
Navy.
Thompson lives at 722 Ashe
Street Key West and has been
employed by the Naval Air Sta
ton as a carpenter since May Is,
1914.
The award was issued under the
Navy Incentive Awards Program
for Beneficial Suggestions. This
program was set up to encourage
suggestions by employees which
would benefit the Navy. The
amount of the award was de-
termined by the estimated annual
amount the invention saves the
Navy.
Thompson entered his suggestion
to the Beneficial Suggestion Com
mittee and received the Is dollar
check as a local award. From the
Naval Air Station his suggestion
will be sent to Washington where
It will be investigated further by
the Navy Efficiency Awards Com
mittee. If it is found useful else
where. in the Navy he will be
given an additional award.

we have the best brains and the

If the impression is prevalent
that scientists as a whole have to
work under such great reStric-
tions and perhaps great suspi-
cion, in the United States, we
may lose the next step in this
field, which ! think would be

In deciding this case, with JUS
tice to DR.. OppenheiIner and due
regard to the national security,
we think the commission can
confidently rest on these consid-
erationS:
DR.. Oppenheimer is unques-
tionably loyal. and the board has
so found.
He is discreet, and the board
has so found.
He has rendered great public
service, and the board has so
found.
His position in the hydrogen
bomb controversy was his honest
view, based on his judgment Of
the interests Of the country and
the good Of humanity; there
was not the slightest motivation
Of disloyalty, and the board has
so found.
Lack of enthusiasm for a pro.

Judgment Of whether this COM
mission wishes to employ DR..
Oppenl1eiIner, but rather Of
whether he is eInployable at all
by any agency or contractor de-
string his services on o task
which requires access to classi-
fed information.
For If all that were involved
where whether the commission
wished to continue to employ Or.
Oppenheimer, the problem would
be very simple indeed. AS an
adviser to the Atomic Energy
Commission. DR.. Oppenheimer
has and can have no desire to
press his advice where 1t is not
wanted. And the commission is
under no obligation either to ask
his advice or to continue his en-
ployment. His contract with the
commission expressly provides:
"(7) Either the conSultant or
the commission may terminate
this contract by giving the other
notice in writing at any time. %
So if the commission merely
did not wish DR.. Oppenheimer's
advice any more, or did not wish
to employ him any more. it
Evening star., 1954-06-16

sOciations are substantially all
pre-war. The postwar associa-
tions which have been questioned
are 50 few and 50 patiently harm
less that they in no way reflect
on DR.. Oppenheimer's safety as
o security risk.
DR.. Oppenheimerss aSsocia-
tions and "derogatory informa-
tion" up to 1947 were fully
known to the commission when
it cleared him in 1947. His
record since then has only REIN
forced the correctness Of that
decision.
The country's outstanding sci-
entistS and public servants who
have worked with DR.. Open
heimer In every capacity for
many years-among them the
two former chairmen Of the
commission. three former men-
bers Of the commission. 10 men,
berS of the general advisory
committee including its present
chairman-have all testified to
Evening star., 1954-06-16

could simply have terminated his
contract as q consultant.
But that is not the question
that the present proceeding
poses to the commission. In the
present proceeding, the commits
sion must decide not whether
the commission wishes to con-
tinue to. employ DR.. Open
heimer. but whether he is lnem-
playable on any project requiring
access to classified information
because it is not safe to let him
have such access.
A decision that DR.. Open
heimer should not be cleared for
access to classified information
would for all practical purposes
be final. We have seen III DR.
Oppenheimer's case how often a
decision in favor of clearing a
man can be reopened and re-
examined. Once, however, the
decision is finally made to deny
clearance. as a practical matter
it is never reopened.
But. the decision whether OF
not to reinstate DR.. Open
heimer's clearance has an impor-
! talce far beyond its effect on DR.

The supposed lack Of candor
