friend because in his own project
he has no need to know details of
his friends work at Los Alamos.
Security measures. as typif1ed
i nthe Walter-McCarran mmi-
grafton Act, also impede scien-
tific progress which IN the past
had been aided by friendly for
eign scientists. Since enactment
of the law about half of all for
eign scientists applying have
been forbidden to visit the United
States. Some have contributed
much to this country. DR.. Mar
Gus Oliphant of England. for ex-
ample. gave information on
radar during World War II which
the United States said was "prob-
ably the most important single
item of reverse lend-lease." Yet,
under the McCarran Act, Oil
phant was not permitted te at
tend a non-secret conference
here. Prof. E. 3. Chain of Eng
land, codiscoverer of penicillin
whose wartime collaboration
saved hundl IDS of American SOL
diers, was not permitted to set
foot on United States soil for a
three-day visit.
Of The IL men who headed the
Los Alamos atom bomb project,
half were foreign-born and thus
of questionable clearance today.
The leader, j. Robert Open
heimer, was declared a security
risk last year.
The combination OF super
secrecy and distrust of scientists
from friendly nations does not
produce the strength which the
United States depends On. This
was only too clear in an Incl
dent during the building of the
atomic submarine, the Nautilus.
At one time it was feared the
sub would require extensive re-
design because of sleeping
sickness" paralysis of its atomic
engine by accumulation of a
chemical. xenon, whenever the
engine stopped. The Govern
ment desperately needed basic
information on the nature of
xenon. A Canadian with top
clearance In his native country's
atomic project was brought to
this country to do open re-
search under an Acc grant.
Couldn't Get Clearance
Being a Canadian he could
not get American clearance, a
fact that did not bother any,
one until it was discovered that
he seemed to have discovered
certain reactions and equations
which might apply to the "sleep-
ing sickness" problem. But he
could not be asked to apply MS

reactions to American data be-
cause he was not permitted to
know the American data.
a fairly high-level conference
was held in New York. An elab-
crate plan was devised to have
the Canadian apply his reactions
to some dummy figures, while
concealing the true American
figures. But at the last minute
a nervous security officer dis
missed the Canadian from the
room, fearful that some secrets
might be disclosed.
This left the American data
secret and secure. But it also
left them useless. Fortunately,
the Canadians data was recov-
cred later and the sub did not
have to be redesigned. No one
knows in how many other in
stances we are not so lucky.

their results. The published re-
suits were seen by scientists
everywhere, who criticized and
used them to improve their own
projects and push to new hori-
zons. This demonstrates a num-
ber of things:
l. There is no such thing as a
permanent secle ct of nature; 2.
Any scientific discovery is a link
, to. the future which. if kept Sc
cret. stalls thc next step but does
not prevent others from creating
their own links; and 3. Safes,
security officers and genera..s do
cot create new weapons like
atomic bombs or defenses against
them; only the "egg-heads" can
do that.
Few scientists want abolition
of secrecy in military research,
but almost all make a distinction
between tactical secrets (such
as actual weapons designs, mill
! tary plans. storage points of
bombs, etc. And secrets of ma
ture (such as the basic informa-
ton on matter which any scien-
tlSt anywhere can work on.
No One Has Monopoly
The fact that no nation has a
monopoly on research was DEM
onstrated last year when fall
out ash covered japanese fish,
ing vessel after a hydrogen bomb
test at Bikini. The Atomic En-
ergy Commission has not revealed
scientific data on fall-out mate
rials for fear it would tell some
thing of materials in the bomb.
But four months after Japanese
scientists began their analysis
of materials on the fishing YES
sci, they had published an open
paper giving the elements in
volved, their proportions and the
amount of radioactivity in each
more information than the
Acc has published to date.
Another facet of secrecy keeps
scientific facts bottled up in
sealed compartments, giving each
scientist only the information he
needs in his own work. This is
sound military doctrine on Sc
crets, but it can be fatal to scien-
tific progress. Some of the great
est advances have come from
men who saw information they
did not need in their own work.
or at least thought so. The tele-
graph has born, for example, be-
cause physicist, Allesandro
Volta, in 1776 discovered a mis-
taken Interpretation by Luigi
Galvania of Galbani's own work.
Under today's Government secret
research rules, Volta would never
see Galvani's data and discovery
of the error would have been de-
layed.

scientist in Los Alamos has a

Union Loses Rights
After Aide. Signed
False Non Red Oath
BY the Assoeiated Press

The International Union of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers
hast lost all its privileges under
the Taft Hartley labor law.
The National Labor Relations
Board voted unanimously yes
terday to deprive the union of
those privileges after finding
that the unions secretary-treas-
urer. Maurice E. Travis, falsely
signed a on-Communist affl-
davit.
At is Denver headquarters, the
union said it woud fight the de-
cision all the way to the Supreme
Court if need be. and I'VE have
already ordered our attorneys to
take steps for an immediate in
junction ="
The union called the order a
fragrant violation, not only of
the law, but also of the rights
OF our union ana itS members.
The NLRB said, however, that
the union membership was aware
of what it called the falsity of
the several nom Communist affi-
davits filed by Travis and never
theless reelected him repeatedly.
1t said Travis admitted in an
article in the unions newspaper
that his non Communist affi-
davit was false. Travis was in
dicted in Denver recently on a
charge of false swearing in con-
nection with the oath.
The boards action disqualifies
the union and its locals from
bringing complaint cases before
the NLRB, from participating in
elections to determine bargain
ing agents, and from making
union shop agreements.
