  April 4^th [1959]

  Dear Mama and all the family,

  How are you? This bunch of Paulings is just fine Peter looks fat and pink-cheeked, though every time I say so he assures me he is at death's door. Your grandson is best of all, also fat and pink, and good as ever. It seems to me, I can't help it, that he is so much nicer than all these other children. Maybe I'm prejudiced. Has no teeth yet, but a little tuft of hair, no particular colour, and the same mud-colored eyes. I have had to keep him in a lot because he has had so many colds, but I sat outside with him today for a few hours. He has had two shots for diptheria whooping cough and tetanus and had a very bad reaction. I am casting up whether to get polio shots for him. I probably can't anyway, as there is a long waiting-list, but do you think I should try? He now sleeps on his face with his behind in the air, and this alarms him when he wakes, so he cries a bit. I still have not weaned him much as he is very old fashioned in his habits. He drinks nicely from a cup if offered by Peter, so he has this at supper-time. I don't want to cut down to three meals yet or Peter would never see him.

  Peter says you may not be home as he hasn't heard from daddy; but I write hoping just the same.

  I think you would approve of this place, it is quite a lot nicer! It really fills in my time having so much more housework to do. I washed 21 diapers today! I do all the washing so it is much cheaper.

  We went with Leslie and Alice Orgel to "Petrosshken" at the Covent Garden last night. It seemed like the first time we had been out for ages, so I enjoyed it very much, and it was a good performance. Nadia Nerina was the ballerina, and we also saw Svetlana Berissora in "Checkmate."

  Barbara Dunitz is supposed to have her new baby before tomorrow which is 'tax day'. We saw them two recently and she looked wonderful. I wish we lived nearer to such nice people. The women in this house are all right, fairly dull, and - I suppose a common situation - seem dominated by one or two really empty-headed busy and gossiping women, while the more reserved and possibly interesting are harder to get to know.

  Love to you all,

  Julia

  6 April 1959

  To: Dan Campbell

  From: Linus Pauling

  Subject: Experimental work proposed by Professor Campbell

  I have been thinking about the work that you suggested in your talk with me today. It seems to me that your idea is an extremely good one, and that it would be well worth while to carry out an experimental investigation. Possibly the experiments could be devised in such a way that some were carried out by the Ford Foundation group, and others carried out by you, in your laboratory.

  Let me summarize the argument, as you presented it to me. You said that it might well be that an embryo manufactures proteins that are different from those manufactured by the adult of the same species, and that in case that some protein from the mother passed the placental membrane, it could affect the developing embryo in such a way as to cause an abnormality in the growth of some organ. You also pointed out that it might not be necessary to assume that the embryo manufactures different proteins from the adult organism. Development of an organ in the embryo might depend upon having the various proteins that are being manufactured by the growing embryo present in certain relative concentrations, such that if the relative concentrations were seriously disturbed there would be an abnormality in development. The increase in concentration of one protein that might result from passage of that protein through the barrier separating the embryo from the mother might then lead to abnormalities in development.

  You suggested that it would be worth while to see whether brain protein, for example, injected into the developing embryo would cause an abnormality in development of the brain.

  If I remember correctly, you said that Ebert had shown that the injection of proteins of an adult frog into the developing frog embryo caused abnormalities in development of the embryo. I do not know how specific the abnormalities were - that is, whether the organ affected was the one from which the adult protein had been obtained.

  I believe that you said that the frog experiment is the only one of this sort that had been carried out.

  I look forward to talking with you more about this possible field of research.

  CARBON-14 AND SOCIETY

  By Linus Pauling

  Talk given to the Alumni of the California Institute of Technology on Alumni Day, 11 April 1959.

  Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon (ordinary carbon, which is stable, is carbon-12). There is a small amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere, as carbon dioxide, and in all living organisms on earth. This carbon-14, which amounts to one atom per seven million million atoms of ordinary carbon, is manufactured in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays. The cosmic rays contain neutrons, and liberate neutrons, and these neutrons react with the nuclei of nitrogen atoms, converting them into carbon-14. The carbon-14 decomposes at such rate that only half of it remains at the end of 5,600 years, but in the meantime an equal amount has been manufactured by the cosmic rays, so that the concentration in the atmosphere and in living organisms has in the past, for many thousands of years, remained constant. The total amount of carbon-14 on earth is about 160,000 pounds.

  Dr. Willard F. Libby made a very valuable discovery a few years ago, when he showed that it is possible to determine the age of objects containing carbon by measuring their radioactivity. A tree that is growing at the present time contains a certain amount of carbon-14, corresponding to the fraction of carbon-14 in the atmospheric carbon dioxide. After 5,600 years, the piece of wood from the tree will contain only half as much carbon-14, because the other half will have decomposed. After 11,200 years there will be only a quarter as much carbon-14 in the wood. Dr. Libby showed that by determining the radioactivity of the carbon, and hence the amount of carbon-14 in it, it is possible to determine how old the sample of wood is. This method has been applied very effectively. For example, it has been shown that the explosion of Mt. Mazama in Oregon, producing the crater that is now called Crater Lake, occurred 5,500 years ago, and that early men were living in the Lascaux Caves, where they painted pictures of mammoths and other animals on the walls and ceiling, 15,000 years ago.

  Carbon-14 does some harm to human beings. It is estimated by geneticists that about ten percent of the defective children who are born with hereditary defects have these defects because of mutations caused by high-energy radiation. About one percent of the natural background radiation is due to carbon-14, and accordingly approximately one tenth of one percent of the children who are born with hereditary defects are the result of the presence of carbon-14 in the world. For example, each year about 6,000 children are born with the genetic disease that causes them to be dwarfs (the disease achondroplasia). About six of these children can be said to be defective because of carbon-14. There are hundreds of other hereditary defects caused by high-energy radiation, including that from carbon-14.

  In addition, it is known that high-energy radiation can cause cancer, and many scientists believe that about ten percent of the cases of cancer are caused by high-energy radiation. If we accept this estimate, we can conclude that one tenth of one percent of the cases of cancer are to be attributed to carbon-14.

  There is nothing that we can do to protect ourselves against the carbon-14 that is formed by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere. We know that this carbon-14 contributes to human suffering, but we do not know how to get rid of it.

  However, something can be done about the carbon-14 that is produced by the explosion of nuclear bombs. During the last five years the amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere has increased at the rate of two percent per year. It is now ten percent greater than it was five years ago. This increase is the result of the production of carbon-14 from nitrogen atoms by the action of neutrons liberated in the explosion of the nuclear bombs that have been tested.

  Last year I made an estimate of the damage to the human race that will be done by the bomb tests that have been carried out so far. My estimate is that the tests carried out so far, estimated to be a total of 150 megatons of fission and fusion together, will in the course of time, provided that there is no catastrophe that destroys the human race, cause about 275,000 children to be born with gross physical or mental defect, 850,000 stillbirths and childhood deaths, and 2,125,000 embryonic and neonatal deaths. There is a certain amount of overlap in these categories. At the same time that I was making my calculations, similar calculations were made by Drs. John R. Totter, M. R. Zelle, and H. Hollister, of the Division of Biology and Medicine of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The estimate made by these scientists of the A.E.C. is that the carbon-14 from the bomb tests carried out so far will produce 100,000 children with gross physical or mental defect, 380,000 stillbirths and childhood deaths, and 900,000 embryonic and neonatal deaths; there is some overlap between the second and third categories. Thus the official estimate of the A.E.C. is that approximately a million damaged human beings will be produced by the carbon-14 from the bomb tests carried out so far, whereas my estimate is about two million.

  There is nothing that we can do about the bomb-test carbon-14 that has already been liberated into the atmosphere, but we can feel thankful that no additional bomb tests are now being carried out. Since early November of 1958 the United States, the U.S.S.R., and Great Britain have refrained from carrying out any further explosions of nuclear weapons, and France, now manufacturing atomic weapons, has also not tested any. We may be hopeful that no more damage will be done to the human race through the explosion of these great bombs. Our hope can rest confidently on Ambassador James J. Wadsworth, who is our chief negotiator, with representatives of Great Britain and the U.S.S.R., in the Geneva Conference on the Testing of Nuclear Bombs, now going on. A few weeks ago I wrote to Ambassador Wadsworth, saying "My own opinion is that there is no activity in the world today that exceeds in importance the effort toward the formulation and execution of an international agreement about nuclear weapons on which you are now working. The making of a significant agreement, as the first in a series of great agreements about control of nuclear weapons and of other methods of waging war and the replacement of force by international law as the means of solving disputes between nations, may well in the future be considered to be one of the most important events in the history of the world. I believe that it is most important that the agreement on which you are working be formulated with extreme care, so that it cannot be subjected to just attack and that it will remain operative forever. I am not discouraged that four months of negotiation has not yet led to a final agreement. A very long period of careful study and negotiation might well be required before the agreement has been satisfactorily formulated."

  In his answer to me, Ambassador Wadsworth said: "It is certainly the hope of our delegation here that an agreement can be reached that will mean the discontinuance of the nuclear weapon tests."

  So long as the negotiations in Geneva continue, we may have nope that we and our children and all our fellow Americans will not be killed by nuclear blast and fire and radioactivity in a nuclear war, and also that, even if there is no war, there will not be further damage to the human race by the carbon-14 liberated in further bomb tests. Ambassador Wadsworth and his associates in Geneva deserve the support of all of us. I believe that the work that they are doing is the most important activity in the world today.

  Dear Daddy,

  Thank you or your telegram and for the money which you should not now send, since this home has been sold. There is a chance that the sale will not go through but not much. It is too bad. Sometime we should learn to not be so slow. I expect something else will turn up during the next six months or year. It is terribly depressing business though, because one sees no end of the search, and then for a few days one is full of hope and plans and excitement and then it is all lost again. The agent told me it was available last Monday morning and in the afternoon that it have been sold for ~ 4000. It would have been a good deal of work and taken 6 or 9 months, but still very pleasant and convenient and nice and then we would be settled.

  I am trying to get a number of calculations going on our new computor. Owen Mills the iron carbonyl derivative fellow from Manchester has been here and has been a great help.

  I am also preparing my lectures which begin in a fortnight. It is a good deal of work. Silicates. Heteropoly acids, and electron deficient compounds. Nyholm also want a lecture on the value of powder methods.

  I have I think Rheumatism in my lower back and my shoulder. I suffer from it now and again. It is terrible. One of the major disadvantages of this country. Everyone (including the children) has it.

  love from

  Peter

  SATURDAY REVIEW

  25 West 45th Street

  New York 36, New York

  Dear Mr. Cousins:

  I send herewith a copy of the article by Karl Peters on "Problems of Atomic Armament". The copy was sent to me by Erica Anderson, and when it first arrived I did not recognize it as the article that Dr. Schweitzer had mentioned in his letter to me. You may have your copy, unrecognized, somewhere in your office.

  I was pleased to see your last editorial. The world surely has changed during the past few months—and we are all indebted to you for your active part in the work.

  Sincerely yours.

  Dear Mr. Reynolds:

  I return the Memorandum of Agreement about the third edition of THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND.

  I do not see where translations come in this agreement, and I request that you tell me. I judge, although I am not sure, that Item 8— that net income other than first book rights shall be shared equally-applies to translations.

  I hope to have the rest of the work in your hands soon.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:jh
