Scientific Sessions
Cancelled in Dispute
Over 0ppenheimer
By the Assoeio.sd Prsss

SEATTLE, Mar. "a. - Seven
scientists, holding that the Uni
versity of Washington has placed
itself outside the community of
scholars" by banning DR.. J. Rob-
ert Oppenheimer from the CAM
pus, have forced cancellation of
a scientific conference.
The action Of the seven men
was disclosed yesterday when the
university's Department Of Bio
chemistry announced a sym
postum on the molecular basis Of
engine action" would not be
held here April 7-8 as planned.
More than 200 scientists from
all parts Of the country had been
expected to attend the confer
ence. which the seven were to
attend as guest lecturers. An
announcement by the depart
ment calling off the meeting
said speakers for the SYM
postum have expressed unani-
mously their unwillingness to,
participate in any official action
Of the university" as a result of
the Oppenheimer ban.
DR.. Oppenheimer had been
scheduled to appear at the Uni
versity this spring as a guest
lecturer in physics. DR.. Henry
Schmitz, the university presi-
dent. then announced DR.. OPP
penheimer's appearance would
not be in the best interests OF
the university. He said the
decision was not based on DR..
Oppenheimer's scientific quail
flcations. but his personal
qualifications as an individual.
The seven lecturers expressed
the hope the university admins
tration "can make arrangements
to prevent similar violations Of
academic freedom in the flu
ture. and thus restore the Uni
versity Of Washington to its
rightful and respected position
in the academic world"
An eighth scientist scheduled
to lecture at the conference,
Charles S. Hanes, professor Of
biochemistry at Toronto, also
said he had similar reasons for
not wishing to attend.
