  Dear Mom and Pop,

  Lu and I want to thank you very much for sending all the packages, and to apologize for being so tardy in writing. Lu says that the slippers are just fine, and she certainly appreciates the dish-towels. They go very well in our kitchen. The Chadwick plate isn't as bad as I was expecting; in fact, the shape of the glass plate is very nice, and should make a very nice camellia dish, or something like that.

  Cheryl was four months old on Friday - she isn't terribly big yet, but she certainly is strong, and is very active. She eats a lot of things other than Lucy's milk, things such as bananas, apricots, peaches, squash, green beans, etc., and recently has begun getting supplementary milk feedings from a bottle. Lu is quite unhappy about this, but her milk isn't flowing in the prodigious quantities that it was earlier, so she is forced to feed Cheryl cows milk. She sleeps for twelve hours a night now (in fact has ever since we got here), and can do amusing things like laugh occasionally. She still hasn't learned how to turn over regularly, its just as well. She weighs a little over twelve pounds, which is supposedly underweight, but since she eats so well, and sleeps so well, I refuse to worry about her.

  Did Linda and Barclay get the box we sent them? It was sort of expensive, and if lost or damaged in the mails we must be sure to take advantage of the postal insurance.

  Rich Morgan pere's mother died a couple of weeks ago, so he was in town for a week looking after things. Last Sunday he brought over a whole lot of things from her house, things like spices, Bisquick, flour, six boxes of powdered sugar, assorted pots. Some of these will be quite useful; others we can discard, or take to the Goodwill. It was fun to see Rich; we took him out to the airport in return for all the stuff.

  In view of the recently announced tuition raise I am no longer convinced that Reed is as desirable a place as it once may have been. Over the past three or four years the tuition has gone from in the neighborhood of $650 to $1050; over the past 16 months the endowment has become half again as large as it was. However, I can see no indication that there has been any improvement in the quality of education offered. By raising the tuition so high they will eliminate the lower income brackets entirely from Reed College, even though they claim they will not. Another thing that they are doing is attempt to offer financial aid in the form of loans rather than scholarships, loans payable twice-annually after graduation, at 1%, This, for four years at Reed, would stretch out over twenty years, and I hate to think of the interest that would be compiled in that time. So when you come right down to it they are trying to cut down on financial aid by disguising it in the form of loans.

  Well, to work.

  4 November 1957

  Congressman Chet Holifield

  Congressional Office Building

  Washington 25, D.C.

  Dear Mr. Holifield:

  I am writing to express to you my objection to some of the statements that you made at the meeting at the Van Nuys High School Football Field, and to ask you to answer some questions.

  When I was asked to appear on the program with you at the meeting, I hesitated for some time. On 1 October I received a letter, repeating the invitation, and stating that the sponsors of the meeting included the 22nd Congressional District Democratic Council, the 41st Assembly District Democratic Council, the 42nd Assembly District Democratic Council, the Federation of American Scientists, the Southern California Friends Committee on Legislation, and other organizations. I have been a strong supporter of the Democratic Party for many years, and in particular I have felt admiration for the stand that you have taken. I thought that I might be doing a valuable service to you and to the Democratic Party by participating in the meeting.

  In the letter of 1 October inviting us to speak there was made the statement that you would be the first speaker, and that I would follow you. I thought that you might be interested to know what I would say, and I had my speech typewritten, with a copy available to you if you requested it. I asked that information be given me about your address, in order that I might prepare my talk in such a way as to complement yours. However, I did not receive any information about your address.

  As you will see from the enclosed copy of a letter I have written to Mr. Leonard Shane, I was taken by surprise when I was introduced at the meeting. The introduction of me rather than you at the beginning of the meeting prevented me from learning what you were planning to say. I feel strongly that it was improper for the chairman of the meeting to have introduced me as the first speaker after I had been told that I would be the second speaker.

  There are some points about your talk that I wish to ask you about.

  First, in your speech you stated that all of the scientists who testified before your committee said that there was no proof that background radiation causes genetic or somatic damage to human beings. After the meeting I mentioned this point to you and said that I thought that it was wrong inasmuch as all of the geneticists who contributed to the national Academy of Sciences Report and who testified before your committee had stated that it was their belief that the background radiation causes genetic damage. In the summary analysis of the hearings before your committee, on page 5 there occurs the statement "There was general agreement that any amount of radiation, no matter how small the dose, increases the rate of genetic mutation (change) in a population." Your reply to my criticism was that you had simply said that the scientists stated that it had not been proved that background radiation causes genetic damage. I said that you were quibbling; that it was improper for you to make the statement that this had not been proved without also making the statement that every geneticist believes that in fast background radiation causes mutations in human beings, in the same way as it is known to cause mutations in animals. I said that, like Dr. Libby, you were making a statement that, although true, gives the hearers exactly the wrong idea as to what scientists believe and have testified. I am sure that many members of the audience thought that your statement contradicted my statement that radiation causes genetic damage, whereas in fact, as you point out, the statement does not contradict it, even though it appears to do so.

  I do not know whether you wish to discuss the question of why you included this misleading statement, the truth but not the whole truth, phrased in such a way as to be misleading, in your speech. If you care to give me an explanation, I should be pleased to have it.

  Second, I wish to express an objection to the remarks that you made that I interpreted as a personal attack on me. So far as I can remember you did not mention me by name in your talk. However, you made a statement about well-meaning scientists with their heads in the clouds, who try to get the United States to disarm unilaterally, and who are guilty of intentional exaggeration of the danger of nuclear tests. You continued with a statement which is quoted in the Los Angeles Times in the following way: "For those who wilfully [sic] advocate the Soviet position of bomb-test cessation without adequate inspection and detection systems to insure good-faith compliance, I can have only contempt - the contempt of a free man in a free nation for traitors who live in a free society and who for reasons best known to themselves wish to consign free men to totalitarian slavery."

  You did not say that this attack was not directed at me, and it seemed to me that in fact it was; a similar feeling was expressed by auditors, such as Miss Catherine Cory, Director of the Southern California Friends Committee on Legislation.

  Your statements at this meeting were in my opinion intentionally misleading, in that an auditor who had not been paying very much attention to my talk, or whose memory was not good, might not have noticed or remembered that I advocated that there be effective steps taken to stop all bomb testing. I said that the American bomb tests, the Russian bomb tests, and the British bomb tests are equally harmful. Nowhere in my speech did I say or intimate that I advocated a unilateral action by the United States - I advocated only an effective international agreement, which you said also that you advocated. At no time in the past have I advocated a unilateral disarmament by the United States.

  I should like to ask you to tell me why you confused the issue of an effective international agreement to stop all bomb tests by introducing your statements about those who wilfully [sic] advocate unilateral disarmament by the United States.

  I feel that it would have been proper and courteous for you to have disassociated me from the group that you were criticizing. May I ask if you know any scientist who has advocated unilateral disarmament for the United States? Is there really an object of your critical statement?

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

  10 November, 1957

  Dear Mamma,

  Thank you for your letter, which we were pleased to get. Bernal did bring the toy for Thomas, thank you; I thought I had written to you about it. He loves it, and chews it dreadfully. Anita Rimmel, Bernal’s secretary whom you will remember, was very interested in it. She is a remarkable person. Bernal has gone to Moscow for a few days. I have seen him quite often recently.

  Thank you very much about the vaccine. I know you have a great deal to do, and I shall try to keep my requests to a minimum. Vernon Ingram will be along in a few days.

  I want a washing machine for Christmas, but I think shall have to wait for a year. We are actually trying the wet wash service of the laundry, which is quite cheap and convenient. I want a good selection of hot cereals. I can get Cream of Wheat and Wheatena at the Ship’s Store, that is some one else can get it. I have not asked anyone to get some for me. Sid gave his card and some money (that is what the ten dollars is for) and I went in once, but they were suspicious and it won’t work again. I bought cake flour and those cereals. It is terrible that I only like hot cereal for breakfast, or, of course, crepes, pancakes, waffles, etc.

  I finally bought a typewriter. It is the same as Linda’s, though it costs less here retail than wholesale there. It is quite good, though I shall take it back to be adjusted.

  We all have a cold, and I think it will last the winter. The central heating is not on, and now it is very cold. I have rigged up a lot of electrical heating to last for a while.

  I have been doing a lot of work, trying to get many pictures taken at Birkbeck. There is even more to do. I am very pleased with this series of compounds that I wrote to Daddy about. Tell him that the ferrous complex has been made and is isomorphous with the others. I do not know whether to do more work with them, or to stop here.

  I think we can all gather in 1958. I do not know where we shall be. I am trying to find out how the protein work in Pasadena is going but they are a terrible secretive lot there.

  Thomas can say Grandma in Russian and in Japanese, but has not yet learned it in English. I expect him to master it soon. He has eight teeth, and cannot quite walk independently.

  Please excuse my writing with a typewriter; now that I have it I want to use it. I am faster with it than long hand.

  Love from

  Peter

  Professor Austen Riggs

  The University of Texas

  Austin 12, Texas

  Dear Professor Riggs:

  In answer to your letter I may say that the problem of getting good molecular models is not a simple one.

  We manufacture our own molecular models, both of the space-filling type and the ball-and-stick type (also some metal models that are less representational in nature). They are very expensive, and we are not able to provide them to other people.

  Our experience has been that for most purposes the space-filling models are too cumbersome to be useful. I find that the models made of Dural and stainless steel rods, giving a skeleton of the structure, are better in the study of polypeptides than any others. However, it may be that the problem in which you are interested requires the use of space-filling models.

  We have not published very much about our models. Professor Corey and I published an article in the Review of Scientific Instruments 24, 621 (August 1953) on molecular models of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. I cannot send you a reprint because our supply is exhausted.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:w

  November 13^th

  Dear Mamma,

  Thank you for your letters. I am sorry I was so slow about the sweater. I suppose I could have guessed really that it came from you. Only it was just what I had told Peter I wanted, a white orlan sweater, so I announced it was from him. Anyway it is beautiful and just right.

  I am trying to get a sleaveless sweater finished for Peter's Christmas present. I am afraid it won't be much of a surprise even if I do. I wish I could give him some nice braces/suspenders too, whichever is the right American for what trousers hang on. The ones he has are so horrible and he insists on showing them. However English taste in these things is too conservative for me, and does not run to silver cats on a black ground and such things that are seen in the New Yorker.

  Thomas did get his Russian present at last, but when I last wrote I did not know what it was as it was still at Birkbeck. Miss Rimmel said she thought it was a trumpet, wrapped up, and I was so thankful that it wasn't.

  I have not been too well but am much better now. Thomas never has a thing. None of us have had Asian flu, only colds. Now the heating is on, it is too hot and Tho's cannot stand it he is so used to freezing in his room, which is now the hottest. He comes out bright red after a nap. He is unusually good just now. I am sure he is too good to live. He actually stops sometimes when I say "no," without screaming with rage. He takes a great interest in electronics now and turns all the wireless knobs, which scrambles the music hopelessly. He walks, so long as there is wall or furniture to hold on, and is even considering leaving go.

  I just made some apple chutney this morning but it does not look edible to me.

  Love to all,

  Julia

  Tuesday-

  Paddy, I thought you might not have seen this.

  Aunt E. is frail but still very pert for 96.

  I'll write later.

  The checker board pattern of plowed & unplowed ground around Pendleton was beautiful.

  I love you.

  CYRUS S. EATON

  November 19, 1957

  Dear Professor Pauling:

  The impact of last summer's Pugwash meeting on the public mind is illustrated anew in this editorial from the November 13th Boston Herald.

  You will also be interested in the enclosed column of November 15th by the Washington correspondent of the Toronto Telegram. This piece points out the unhappy truth that the politicians are the least concerned of any part of the American population over the hazards of nuclear warfare. The attitude of the politicians is, of course, influenced by the extreme anti-communist sentiment that certain small but highly vocal groups keep stirring up in the United States.

  On returning from Russia last week, one of our Cleveland Congressmen went so far as to announce that he is prepared to fight everything Russian to the death. These politicians who make a profession of fanning the fires of hatred against Russia, because they believe this is the way to get votes, would swiftly change their ways if the wiser and saner elements of our society became more vocal.

  Sincerely yours,

  Cyrus Eaton

  21 November 1957

  Dr. T. O. Jones

  Office of Scientific Information

  National Science Foundation

  Washington 25, D.C.

  Dear Dr. Jones:

  Enclosed is my proposed plan for an exhibit on the chemical bond, for the American section of the Brussels Exposition.

  I hope that I have reached a reasonable compromise in formulating this section. There is not very much that is new in the proposed exhibit. At first I thought that it would be possible to present some of the most recent discoveries and ideas, but I rejected many of them on the grounds that they are not sufficiently rigorous or sufficiently well proved. Practically everything in the proposed exhibit is generally accepted. I think too, although I am not sure, that it may have some interest for almost everyone who would see it.

  The pages are labeled Section A, Section B, Section C, and Section D, and Section E. It was my idea that these five sections could be put in the allowed space. I hesitate to suggest that any one of the five sections be omitted. In fact, I am sorry that I could not include some discussion of the ionic bond.

  I think that there would not be much difficulty in getting the models made. The electron distribution for hydrogen atoms and the hydrogen molecule might possibly cause you some difficulty. If you wish, I could arrange that these electron distributions be made here. I have in mind only that they be drawings, with no effort to achieve a three-dimensional effect.

  If there were no reasonable alternative, we could build the molecular models here. I should prefer not to do so, and you probably have a satisfactory setup near Washington to do this job. It might be that you would like us to make one model, as an example. However, I do not think that this is needed. It would be fine if it were possible for me to see the exhibit before it is shipped abroad. However, I do not have any plans to come to Washington before the time of the spring meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, which I shall probably attend.

  Please write to me about any questions.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W
