PRINCETON, N. j., April 49,
j. Robert Oppenheimer, the top
physicist suspended by the Atomic
Energy Commission, was called
from his university classes at the
age of 38 to maStermind the
A-bomb. one Of the Nations best
kept secrets.
The tall, thin. nervous man,
who will be so April %, corraled
the efforts and energies of the
worlds greatest scientists in de-
veloping one of the most fearsome
weapons.
After the birth of the A-bomb,
DR.. Oppenheimer predicted:
Men Of our time will never
have a sense Of security"
It was he who suggested to
Mai. Gen. Leslie Groves, overall
director of the 50 billion project,
that a laboratory be built at Los
Alamos, N. Mex, for the $500
project workers.
Had Wide Reputation.
Although unknown to the pub
lie at the time. he long had been
in the forefront Of research in
theoretical physics and had a
wide reputation among scientists
for his brilliance Under his
leadership. the scientists at Los
Alamos achieved in two years
OF wartime pressure what might
have taken generations.
The War Department credited
him with achieving the i'm
fermentation of atomic energy
for military purposes"
Patient. gray-haired DR.. Op-
penheimer, like many of, the
famous scientists who hadl
worked with him on the A-bomb, |
brooded over the uses to which
the atomic bomb might be put.
He was among the vanguard
OF politicians, scientists and in
tellectuals who campaigned for
international atomic regulation.
He warned that an A-bomb |
attack could wipe out 40 million |
Americans.
"Our atomic monopoly" he
said, "is like a cake Of melting
ice."
Suggested World Group.
He held the view that there
could be no permanent peace
without world government, and

"This new post will enable me
to stay put. It is my hope that
at the institute I again will be
able to get some fun out Of
physics"
At the institute, scholars Of
the world in all fields come to
pursue knowledge in a privately
endowed institution.
Again DR.. Oppenheimer was
guiding the efforts of great men,
many Of them older than he.
DR.. Oppenheimer. himself, a
rangy 6-footer, is at home in
many fields. Widely-traveled, a
connoisseur Of many arts. mas
ter Of eight languages. he has
been engaged in a constant quest
for knowledge.
He is known as "Oppy" to his
friends and associates and is
given to chain-smoking.
Headed Physical Society.
In addition to his institute
duties, DR.. Oppenheiner served
as chairman of the technical
advisors to the Atomic Energy
Commission. He headed the
American Physical Society and
was a member of the State De-
partment advisory board and the
United Nations atomic energy
delegation.
Born in New York, the son of
a man who emigrated from Ger
many and became a textile IN
porter, DR.. Oppenheimer entered
Harvard in 1922. He completed
a four-year course in three years,
graduating with honors.
He studied for a year at Cam

Dear Gen. Nichols:
This is in answer to your letter
Of December %, 1858, in which
the question is raised whether
my continued employment as a
consultant on Atomic sEnergy
Commission work will endanger
the common defense and security
and whether such continued en-
ployment is clearly consistent
with the interests of the national
security"
Though of course I would have
no desire to retain an advisory
position If my advice were not
needed, I cannot ignore the qucs-
ton you have raised, nor accept
the suggestion that I am unfit
for public service.
The items Of so-called "deroga-
tory information" set forth in
your letter cannot be fairly un-
derstood except in the contexc Of
my life and my work. This an.
swer is in the form of sum-
mary account Of relevant aspects
of my life in more or less chrono-
logical order, in the course of
which I shall comment on the
specific items in your letter.
Through this answer and through
the hearings before the Person.

by request. I hope to provide a
fair basis upon which the ques-
tions posed by your letter may
be resolved.

II All Started
In The Truman
Administration

When the Truman kdministra-
tion was stoking the fires Of post
war initiation by heavy spending
and mounting deficits, the nations
labor union leadership demanded
constant wage increases "to main
tain consumer purchasing power"
Business warned that wages
were the main element of cost in
most manufactured articles, and
that continually rising industrial
wage rates without corresponding
increases in productivity inevita-
bly, would bring prices to the point
where many people on fixed or
static incomes would be squeezed
out of the market for many prod
ucts.
Now the symptoms Of what
business warned against are be-
ginning to appear. Postwar demand
caused by shortages - a sellers
market - has been suppIanted by
a buyers market. Nevertheless,
union leaders are demanding wage
boosts on the theory that they
will "put more purchasing power
In the hands OF consumers"
All of US would like TO have our
purchasing power boosted. Yet, as

YOUR ELECTION LAWS \
The right of referendum is an
other safeguard provided for the
people by the Constitution of Ohio.
When the Legislature passes a
law which a group does not ap-
prove of, referendum petitions may
be circulated, unless the law was
one which is specifically exempt
from the referendum.
The Constitution provides that
laws providing for tax levies, ap-
preparations for the current ex-
penses in the state government
and state institutions, and emer-
gency laws necessary for the inn
mediate preservation of the pub
lie peace, health, or safety,
shall go into immediate effect"
These are not subject to the ref
erendum. All other laws go into
effect ninety days after they are
filed in the office of the Secre-
tary of State.
This ninety-day period is provi-
ded to allow for the circulation
of referendum petitions. If petit
ions are filed within that time con-
tanning signatures of six per cent
of the electors, the law is submit
ted to the voters at the next No

The conference, initiated last
year by O'Neill, is designed to
bring together all local law en-
torcement officials to discuss
common problems and to con-

Family In Moving
TO New Residence

When it came time recently, for
Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Jacobs and
their eight children, to move from
the Edgar Smith farm on the
Bloomingburg Road to the Jay
Phillips farm on the Moorman
Road, it looked to them like Q
physical impossibility.
Mr.. Jacobs, in i'll health for
some time, is compelled to make
frequent trips to University Hos
pital, Columbus, for treatment and
their six weeks old daughter, Lin
da, was just home from Childrens S
Hospital where she had been
treated for pnuemonia.
But the Jacobs figured without
their neighbors. Realizing the
plight of the family, they were
quickly organized and took over.
First, the home on the Phillips
farm where the family was to
move, was thoroughly houseclean-
ed; then the family and all their
belongings, lock, stock and bar
rel, were picked up, taken to the
new home, and before the moving
party broke UP, all the furniture
was in place and the family was
completely settled in"
Until you find yourself in the
same predicament we were in,
you'll never know what such ex-
trene kindness means" said Mr..
and Mrs. Jacobs. I'VE could never
repay such thoughtfulness and
help; we can only publicly express
our deepest gratitude to these
neighbors and friends. The e
Good Samaritan" and their
courtesies, will always be among
our most cherished memories, !"
they concluded.
