transfer. Reluctantly, since he
didn't know what he would be
working on, DR.. Bradbury went.
He was assigned to the ex-
plosives division, and began
working on the A-bomb.
The war ended. DR.. j. Robert
Oppenheimer, then the director,
asked DR.. Bradbury to take that
Office. "Oppie was tired" DR..
Bradbury says. THE war was
over, and he wanted to get back
to science"
Many scientists felt the same
way. A general exodus had set
in. 1t even appeared that Los
Alamos might be abandoned.
Nobody evisioned the tension
that was coming, the "cold war"
DR.. Edward Teller, one of the
chief architects of the H-bomb,
has described the conditions in
an article in Science magazine.
He wrote:
"A few determined people con-
Sidered it their duty to try to
keep Los Alamos alive, whatever
the odds might be. The man
whose leadership was crucial in
those days was the new director,
Norris Bradbury"

phrase was, "He may die faster
sooner, and I may die slower
later"
DR.. Bradbury sees no end to
the need for continued research
in the weapons field - even
though all the nations should
agree to some form of control.
Why?
If you know a certain type of
weapon is possible to build, you
can agree to control it. But if
somebody is sitting in the back
room working on something you
haven't studied thoroughly, you
may find yourself in a bad spot.
so I don't see any way to
STOP"
Product of Arms Race
DR.. Bradbury himself is a
product of the great arms race.
1t reshaped his life.
He was teaching physics at
Stanford University shortly be-
fore World War II and left to
take a Navy commission. He was
assigned to research center at
Dahlgren, Va.
Los Alamos was established in
the spring. of 1943-object, the
atomic bomb. When difficulties
arose, Los Alamos asked for DR..

Admiral King to effect the

elected member Of the Board Of
Education.
They have three sons. One is
studying physics, another plan
ming to be an archaelogist. Arch
eology is DR.. Bradbury's princi-
pal hobby. He likes to tramp
around the mountains Of Mexico,
peering at the traces of some
vanished civilization. He also is
a tinkerer and likes to garden.
Among the scientists. you still
hear acid comment about the
"Oppenheimer case" DR.. OPP
penheimer was suspended as a
consultant to the Atomic Energy
Commission after a hearing last
year. Or. Bradbury testified at
length. Here is part of his testi-
mony:
%. Would you say that DR..
Oppenheimer's attitude. opinions,
activities with respect to the de-
velopment Of thermonuclear wea-
pons in any way indicated that
there were some malevolent or
sinister motives about it?"
"a. Absolutely not. AS I have
remarked, from 1916 on, have
never known him to act in a
way other than was a help to
the laboratory"

taking place today at the Los
Alamos laboratory. That's all he
could say.
DR.. Norris e. Bradbury is the
laboratory's director. He is one
Of the "few determined people,"
as a colleague put it, who kept
Los Alamos from disintegrating
some years ago-a little-known
chapter in the story of the great
weapons race with Russia.
He came in at the beginning
Of that race. Where does it
stand today?
DR.. Bradbury says he can give
only personal opinion which Is:
This country is indeed ahead,
and well ahead of the Russians"
Point Of Diminishing Returns
Are weapons other than bombs
or warheads in the making? Is
a future enemy likely to be hit by
thermometer radiation without
f1rst having heard a "big bang?"
II so. how will they be used
In event Of a third world war?
Such a conflict is not easy to
envision. The great weapons
have never been used in combat.
The explosions at Hiroshima and
NagaSaki cast only a faint flicker
toward the instruments of the
future. Nobody can say. with
precision, how the techniques of
war have been bent into totally
new shapes.
DR.. Bradbury said he sees a
point Of diminishing returns in
the use of the great weapons in
combat.
IF you have a bomb that will
destroy 10 cities, there isn't |
much point in exploding a
thousand such bombs. There
aren't that many vital centers to
destroy"
"Fallout" Cuts Two Ways
But. even if your enemy did |
have 10000 vital centers. could |
you risk H-bombing all of them
In any short period of time? The
problem of poisoning the atmos-
phere with radioactive particles,
and having them come home in

from such an attack.

he would be security risk?"
"a. I do have such an opinion
and it is very strong one"
20. Would you state it, please?"
"a. I would regard him from
my observation as completely
loyal to this country . I do
not regard him as a security
risk"
OF this problem, generally, DR..
Bradbury says:
ITO be any good. a scientist
has to have a lot of imagination.
BY nature. he is not satisfied
with the status quo. He is going
to probe around into all kinds
of things. Years later, these
probings may lead him into
trouble"

to 60 on with Los Alamos. DR..
Bradbury says:
Damned if I know, except
that it seemed to me the place
couldn't be allowed to fold up.
We had demonstrated the bomb.
1t was certain that others would
go about to get it."
In effect, he laid down an
ultimatum to the scientists who
were still there, but vascillating.
He says, "You can't run lab
oratory with people who are
planning to leave in another six
months or So"
He did more than that. DR..
Teller writes:
Bradbury kept smiling and
encouraged others to stay on
the job. Without his dedicated
work. the Russians would now
be ahead Of us in the atomic
race"
The postwar years were lean
and difficult at Los AlamoS.
Then, in 1949, the Russians ex-
ploded an atomic device. The
supposed American monopoly
was at an end.

the United States.
He proclaimed a Philippine
republic June IL. 1898. The day

School Time Fodinq Fast
On Polio Vaccine Shots

Time is running out in the
school polio vaccination pro-
gram.
There still was no word today
as to when the Washington area
will receive enough vaccine to
complete the second-shot pro-
gram. And there were indica-
tions second shots would not
be given even if vaccine did
arrive after the close of schools.
Schools already have closed in
Fairfax County and will be
closed in other areas by the end
of this week. The Districts
school term ends next Thursday.
But health officers, those in
charge of the vaccination pro-
gram. still are undecided over
whether to attempt the second
shot.
DR.. Edward Davens, chief OF
the Maryland State Health De-
partment's Bureau of Preventive
Medicine, said it was extremely
doubtful a full-scale program
could be resumed in his State
before the end of school. In
most areas. it takes about a week
to complete a round of shots.
But DR.. Davens did not rule
out the possibility that summer
clinics would be set up after the
close of school if the vaccine does
arrive. However, he did say the
program might be postponed
until school resumes next fall.
This was the feeling of most
health officers who have been
meeting throughout the week
with medical advisers to deter
mine if summertime clinics could
be set up. Getting those chill
dren who received the first shot
