Major Events

  • The Paulings travel to India, where they have dinner with Nehru and visit a number of institutions, where Pauling gives talks. During their stay in Japan (February 21 to March 11), the Paulings visit Tokyo University, Kyoto University, Osaka University, and a number of industrial plants. In Tokyo and Kyoto, Pauling gives public lectures, which are translated into Japanese, on the hemoglobin molecule in health and disease. He finds the caliber of the scientific and technical people in Japan "very high" and the quality of the work being done "excellent." He is told by an advisor to the Imperial Family that one of the Emperor’s sons is interested in chemistry and that he and the Emperor wish to speak with him, but the State Department of the United States succeeds in preventing him from being given this audience with the Emperor, since, in their official view, "there would be adverse repercussions."
  • On July 9, Bertrand Russell reads what comes to be known as the Russell-Einstein Manifesto at a press conference in London. Pauling’s name appears with a distinguished list of scientists at the end of the manifesto, which urges the governments of the world to realize that their purposes cannot be furthered by war. Consequently, the manifesto entreats governments to find peaceful means for the settlement of all disputes between them. The manifesto appears in many newspapers and magazines throughout the world.
  • On July 15, Pauling and over fifty other Nobel laureates issue the Mainau Declaration, which calls for an end to all war, especially nuclear war.
  • Pauling, Corey, and Marsh publish their paper on the structure of silk fibroin.
  • In November, Pauling appears before the Subcommittee on the Constitutional Rights of the Committee on the Judiciary of the United States Senate. He testifies that he is not and has never been a Communist, open or concealed. He adds: "I am not even a theoretical Marxist." The hearing goes on to deal with his difficulties with R.B. Shipley, the chief of the Passport Division of the U.S. State Department.
  • Pauling, Corey, and Marsh publish a paper in Acta Crystallographica on the structure of Tussah silk (commonly called wild silk) fibroin.
