  • Letter from Charles J. Conrad to LP, RE: Conrad received the copy of LP's Nobel Lecture, "Science and Peace," today and trusts that LP has received his analysis of LP's speech to the students at California State Polytechnic College. Conrad's examination of the portion of LP's speech dealing with chemical and biological weapons concerns Conrad because he feels it is an inaccurate and misleading representation of U.S. activities in that field which will only serve to confuse the public. Conrad wants the American people to hear a full and frank discussion of chemical and biological warfare. He suggests that he and LP meet to present their respective views in a televised debate. Conrad would adjust his schedule to a time when LP is available. [Filed under LP Personal Safe, Drawer #2, Folder #2.015]

  • Letter from LP to Donald J. Silberman, RE: After reading Silberman's letter and letters from Professor Blau and Moos, LP made several phone calls about the case of Tobias Schwartz. LP found no one who supported Dr. George E. Moore's action in not renewing Schwartz's traineeship. However, LP feels that the Schwartz case differs from that of Dr. Sporn, and LP does not think that he should write a letter to the University about Schwartz. Schwartz has been working for his Ph.D. for 6 years, a period which LP feels is too long. LP has talked to Schwartz's thesis advisors, Professor Snell and Professor Blau, who both said that if Schwartz worked hard, he could finish his thesis work by February, 1965. LP is sure that the HUAC hearings were responsible for Dr. Moore's actions and thinks that HUAC should be opposed, but he does not think that Schwartz's case is a very good one. It would probably be best for Schwartz's professors to assist him in getting a loan and encouraging him to finish his thesis by February.
