Subject: Oliver Wulf and X-ray photography
Along about 1913, when Dr. Oliver Wulf, Research Associate in Chemistry here, was a high school student, he made an X-ray photograph of his hand, using as a source of X-rays a Tesla coil and a broken (filament broken) electric light bulb. He still has this photograph, which may well have been the first X-ray photograph made by any California Institute of Technology man, and I have thought that you might be interested in running a little story on it, possibly together with the other stories about early days of X-ray diffraction in the California Institute of Technology.

- Note from Mrs. John J. Brennan to LP RE: Describes her excitement in hearing that LP will be on the Berkeley campus in the coming week. Expresses her thanks to LP for his courage in countering the AEC, specifically Mr. Teller. Mentions that she disagrees with LP on some points, specifically, in response to answers given by LP at the Livermore meeting in October 1957. Believes that the U.S. should stop nuclear testing immediately, regardless of what Russia's actions, rather than wait for an international agreement (as LP had suggested). Mentions that she believes the issue of nuclear testing is much more pressing than LP appears to believe. Questions whether scientific "progress" should by pushed if it leads to destruction and harm.
