    CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

    To Ruth Hughes

    Here are some things that I should like you to do, as soon as you are feeling well enough.

    First, would you give me the letter from Nesmianov. I ought to answer it.

    Second, would you look at the original signed copy of the appeal from Thailand. In the news release there was a signature by Harry Emeleus - Professor Emeleus, University of Cambridge. I remember that when the original material arrived I was skeptical about this signature, and I want to check it. Emeleus wrote another letter, which you should also get, saying that he did not want to sign. I think that we shall have to tell the United Nations to cross that name off, in case that the handwriting indicates that it is not genuine. In any case, we might have to write to Emeleus, to ask if he did happen to be in Thailand.

    Then we must get together, during the next few weeks, an auxiliary list of signers to be sent to the Secretary-General. I have quite a number of additional signatures on my desk, and I think that you have some also. Let us be sure that we get everybody in.

    4 February 1958

    Dear Sir:

    In C&EN for 27 January 1958, page 28, there appeared an account of a petition signed by 9235 scientists from 44 countries, uring [sic] that an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear bombs be made now, as a first step toward a more general disarmament.

    In the article in C&EN it is said that a spokesman for the U.S. mission says that it plans no action on this measure, unless Russia agrees to certain arms inspections and controls which she has previously refused.

    This statement seems to me to be not quite right. It is my understanding, which I have checked in a conversation with Mr. Stassen, that in the recent past Russia has proposed that an agreement be made to stop the testing of nuclear weapons, with an effective system of control and inspection, and that the United States has proposed that the agreement to stop bomb tests with control and inspection be made together with an agreement to stop the stockpiling of further nuclear weapons.

    Our petition to the United Nations does not specify what sort of an agreement should be made. It would, of course, have to be acceptable to the nations involved. I think that it should be possible, by negotiation, to formulate an acceptable compromise agreement that would benefit all nations and all people.

    Sincerely yours,

    Linus Pauling:w
