Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Hopital du Docteur Schweitzer

Lambarene, Gabon

Afrique Equatoriale Francaise

Dear Dr. Schweitzer:

As I mentioned in my last letter, my book "No More War!" is to be published in August by Dodd, Mead and Company, a good American book publisher. It will also be published in England.

The publishers would like to have some statements about the book and the author printed on the jacket of the book. They have asked me if you might be willing to make a statement - just a few words - that could be used in this way. The statement would not be included in the book itself, but only on the paper jacket that is wrapped around the book.

I have looked over your letters in order to see whether some sentence in one of your letters might not be suitable. I have not found one, but I suggest that you might be willing to write a sentence reading in somewhat the following way:

"By his efforts to prevent nuclear war and to bring the powerful forces of nuclear energy under international control, Professor Linus Pauling is rendering a great service to humanity."

Any statement such as this one that you would be willing to write and allow me to use would be of much value to me. I shall, of course, understand, in case that you decide that you should not deviate from your policy of writing such statements.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:w

9 May, 1958

Dearest Mamma,

If it is convenient, can you please send me the advertised descriptions of some American household consumer goods? I am interested in buying some labour saving devices like a washing machine and a refrigerator and a stove and perhaps a dryer and maybe a vacuum cleaner and I shall try to buy second hand stuff from the American forces here. I am not sure I can do it, but it is probable. Washing machines I have seen advertised in personal column of Forces paper: Bendix-Dialmatic; Maytag, wringertype; Bendix automatic and agitator type; Norge; Kenmore (Sears Sawbuck).

Refrigerators: Westinghouse 9.2 cf; Coldspot 11 cf Crosley; Shelvedor 9 cf.

Bendix dryer and Electrolux cleaner.

I wish I could find a nice place to live. Thomas plays outside a good deal with the little neighbor children who are older than he and take care of him. I really wish to move into town if possible but it is probably impossible.

We planned to go on a holiday in July and to see the Dunitz's in Zurich for scientific consultation on our way home. They have got a flat for us from their neighbor who are conveniently going away just at the right time which is certainly very nice.

Love from

Peter

Dear Max:

In answer to your letter, I may say that I would be delighted to sign a certificate of nomination of Kendrew and of Crick to the Royal Society. I would put them in this order - that is, Kendrew first.

I shall be in Pasadena pretty steadily from now until the middle of August.

My wife and I too were pleased to learn about Peter's having a lectureship in University College.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Dear Peter:

Thanks for the manuscript. I have been so busy the last couple of days that I haven't been able to go over it, but I shall do so after getting back from Washington. Mamma and I are going there tomorrow, in order that I may appear on a TV program, called Meet the Press, on Sunday.

I enclose a letter that came from the Treasury Department. It looks as though it contains a check.

Linda is in the same shape--perhaps slightly larger shape. She is feeling very well.

Much love from

Dear Sir:

On Sunday 11 May 1953 I appeared on your program Meet the Press. The reason for my appearance was, of course, to discuss the nature of nuclear war and of the tests of nuclear weapons, especially their biological effects. This is a subject in which I have been deeply interested and it is one that concerns every person in the United States.

I am writing now to tell you that I think the producer handled his job very badly.

I think that his greatest error was his failure to have present any representative of the press who had any knowledge of the subject.

In addition to Mr. Spivak himself, who seems to know nothing about the subject, there were three representatives of the press, none of whom seems to know anything about the subject. The questions that they asked me were poor ones, which did not bear sufficiently closely on the great problems involved, and it was only with difficulty that I was able to introduce some pieces of information of value to the large group of viewers of the program. It was evident that none of the members of the panel had any basis for judgment as to the quality of my answers.

There are several representatives of the press in Washington and New York who have an excellent understanding of this subject. I might mention Mr. Earl Ubell of the New York Herald Tribune, just as an example. If even one reporter with some background of information about the subject had been on the panel, the program would have been significantly better.

Also, I feel thoroughly dissatisfied with the behavior of Mr. Spivak himself. We had only 25 minutes on the air, to discuss this great problem; the greatest problem facing the world today. And yet Mr. Spivak wasted a large fraction of this time by dragging in puerilities, completely extraneous to the problem itself. I judge that he has no understanding of the present serious world situation and of the issues involved, and that he is not interested in having the program function in such a way as to provide information to the American people.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:w

20 May, 1958

Dear Mamma:

Do you remember that I told you that I had a comprehensive examination to take at the end of my Junior year - the Junior qualifying examination? Well, I took it alright, complete with a traumatic half-hour oral, and fortunately passed. Out of seven students who took the examination, six passed; six is really a small Senior class, since there are eleven this year, and this is supposed to be a typical class. Both Dr. Kleinholz and Dr. Stafford are going to be away next year - I trust both will be away for only one year. Dr. Klienholz is spending a year in Europe, and Dr. Stafford a year at Harvard. This means that the physiology-biochemistry end of the department will be absent next year, so I have chosen Dr. Gwilliam, who is an invertebrate zoologist, somewhat interested in physiology, as a thesis advisor and have retained biochemist A.H. Livermore as consultant. However, I have yet to think up a thesis topic, though Gwilliam has suggested something about a crustacean reflecting pigment. I have decided not to commit myself to any topic until next fall, and to read a bit, taking advantage of the CIT biology library during the summer.

Believe it or not, in a couple of weeks I will be twenty-one! A suitable gift might be the four (4) volumes: The Invertebrata by Libbie Hyman. They are in general the most concise detailed work available, I think, and would make a neat addition to the library of one interested in invertebrates, as I am. For a Plant Physiology special topic I have been playing with paper chromotography of the gibberellins, a group of plant hormones, but as yet have been unable to get the neat separations reported, in the J. Plant Phys. The spots are the right colour, though, upon KMnO₄ spraying.

We will probably leave here around the seventh or eighth, spend a day or two in San Francisco, perhaps a day at the Ranch, if you are willing, arriving in Pasadena somewhere around the twelfth to fourteenth of June. I don't plan to be at the ranch at any time in this period, do you? There are good tides, it seems to me, during the first week of June, but I have finals, and can't get away any earlier.

Our landlord is as yet unwilling to make a satisfactory arrangement about this summer, so we will probably regretfully let the apartment go.

Love,

Crellin, Lucy & Cheryl

21 May 1958

Professor E. W. Pfeiffer

University of North Dakota

School of Medicine

Grand Forks, N.D.

Dear Professor Pfeiffer:

In answer to your letter, I must say that I think that Dr. Kulp knows as much about strontium 90 as anybody.

The amounts of strontium 90 are conventionally referred to one gram of calcium. Consequently, for a given amount of strontium 90 in fallout, the amount per gram of calcium will be high if the calcium in the soil is low. I think that it is easily possible to check on the amount of calcium in the soil in your neighborhood; to see whether this is the explanation of the high ratios of strontium 90 to calcium.

I understand that even stratospheric fallout tends to be concentrated in the general latitude in which tests are made, and accordingly there might well be very considerable effect of Russian tests in fallout in South Dakota and North Dakota, as compared with the Nevada tests or the American tests in the Pacific.

I myself feel that the strontium 90 problem is a significant one, for the health of human beings now living.

Thank you for sending me the clippings.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:w

23 May 1958

Dear Peter:

Could you send me a copy of the book "The Human Sum. How Many Should We Be?" edited by C. H. Rolph, Heinemont, 18 shillings.

Linda is in fine shape. I judge that she will hold out -- perhaps, rather, hold in -- to the end, despite having twins, which usually come two or three weeks early.

Mamma and I are getting along well. On Monday I am to be in New York - not over night, returning in the afternoon. I am going to give a little talk to the book salesmen of Dodd, Mead and Company. Bobo says that this personal acquaintance with the author helps them greatly in selling the books to bookstores. Victor Gollancz is going to bring out the British edition.

I haven't got around to doing anything about water yet. Between now and Sunday Mama and I are to be at the ranch, where I shall work on the Nature of the Chemical Bond. The man that we had running the service station gave up, because of bad health, and now we have another man, who has leased it for one year. Hearst castle will be open to the public on 2 June. It will be interesting to see how much the traffic increases as a result.

I had quite a rough time on the TV program Meet the Press. Hundreds of people have written letters to me and to the National Broadcasting Company complaining about it. Many think (they have said privately to me) that it may have done more good than a straightforward discussion of the problem would have done, but I am doubtful. I was on for an hour with Oscar Levant a few days ago. This is a pretty relaxed program.

Our plans at present are to leave here for Europe approximately 25 August. We may stop in Brussels for a few days, and then come to London. Fifteen to 17 September is when the Kekule symposium takes place. My talk is on 15 September. Probably we shall leave 17 September for Kitzbuhel and Vienna, the third Pugwash Conference. Then on 22 September we shall return to London. I am to speak in Harringway Arena on 23 September, in a meeting arranged by the National Council for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Tests. Then the next day, or perhaps the day after, we shall go to Essen, where I am to speak in a meeting arranged by Dr. Martin Niemöller and the War Resisters International. Probably we shall pop on to Los Angeles on Saturday 27 September.

We had a visitor here whom you may know - Dr. Nicoll of Cambridge. He came to dinner the other evening.

Much love from

Linus Pauling

Dear Mamma,

Would you please write a cheque to the Consumers Union and enclose it with the enclosed letter to them? If you have already written to them about a subscription for me, please cross out and correct parts of the letter and send a cheque for what more is needed, I should think about $ 12.00 for the three back volumes and postage. I am not sure it is worth it for me to get all these back issues but I think so. It is pretty cheap and I must advise American friends all the time about whether they should buy Hi Fi and such here or wait until they get to America.

A friend of ours has offered to send an order to Sears Roebuck for us and to get the stuff in through the Navy, and so I hope to get a few light household goods. It is, I think, impossible to get many things here, for instance, I have not found a stove that is bigger than about 21 by 21 inches in plan, with a corresponding oven. It is preposterous. Still, perhaps I can find one.

We look forward to seeing you. I should not think you want to spend too long in Brussels, I think it is a real rat race. If all the expected visitors go through the atomium, it means about 1500 an hour, including you. Do you want to stay with us when you are here or would you prefer to be separate? We would certainly like very much to have you.

I am sorry I did not think very much about some pillows or pillowslips or both and consequently reported back some nonsense when a thank-you letter arrived. I certainly would like to find a place to live with a garden and more room and the possibility of making a kitchen. I feel very frustrated.

Love from

Letter from Peter Pauling to LP. [Filed under LP Biographical: Box #5.043, Folder #43.2]

31 May, 1958

Dear Daddy,

Thank you for your letter of the 23d. It is good to hear from you and to hear how things are going.

I have not done anything further about the water calculations. I have not finished what I had started on a way to calculate the RDC with a variable Gaussian; I think I should think a little bit about doing the calculation in reciprocal space. Some people seem to think that, the diffraction pattern is a more sensitive test than its Fourier transform.

Would you please send me the money for the next three months, that is July, August, and September now? I probably shall not need it, but we wish to go on our holiday in July, and I think there will be some chances in the near future to get some household consumer goods and so I should like to have it available.

Anita Rimmel, who is Des's secretary, asks that you answer their letters. She also says that I do not deserve a lectureship, but while I believe what she says, I do not pay too much attention to it, or rather, I do not worry about it.

Do you want to go to Dublin for a couple of days to a Faraday Conference on Transition Metals? It is September 9th - 11th. I thought I would go, but if you are going to be here, I expect I shall not.

I have asked Better Books to send off the book.

The TV show with Ed Murrow was shown on the BBC, but I did not see it unfortunately. Several people have mentioned it to me. I think David Green is committed to go to Alex's for this year. However, I think there is a good chance that he would be willing to stay in the United States longer than one year, perhaps permanently, and so you might consider trying to get him to come the following year, 1959 - 60. Just now he is diddling his program to do my P21 3 Fourier. As you have mentioned, it is quite a calculation. I think we shall do it next week or the following week.

I have had a formal offer from the Secretary of the College writing on behalf of the College Committee concerning my appointment. It will take a month or two to get a contract. It begins October 1st and is for five years. Professor Ingold days that never has such a contract not been renewed.

There is a life insurance pension scheme for teachers in this country, that I must join. I pay five per cent of my gross income, and the College pays ten per cent, until I retire at 62. I do not know what the life insurance arrangement is. Some broker has been telling me about student's life insurance schemes, which are slightly cheaper than the ordinary, and I was going to compare them with American. There are a number of disadvantages, in that what one gets back is in Sterling, and also I consider Sterling an unstable currency and liable to devaluation. I shall give an example. Straightforward endowment policy, entered before 28 as a student, without profits, pay for 37 years at 16 pounds per annum equals £592 per £1000 insured. There is a 3% reduction for face value of more than £2500. The same thing with profits would cost £882 all told per thousand. In this country, it is one of the few ways to save money, because you can take the payments off your income tax, saving 17%. I expect the deal for teachers is better than this student deal and also sufficient.

Love from

Peter
