Dean P. W. Hinrichs, Jr.

California Institute

Dear Dean Hinrichs:

So far as I am aware, Mr. Carol K Ikeda, a graduate student doing special work in chemistry, is a loyal American. The work which he is doing at the Institute is in the field of immunochemistry, under a grant made to the Institute in response to an application from me. Mr. Ikeda has been carrying on his work extremely well and faithfully. He is appearing as a co-author with Drs. Campbell and Pressman and me of some papers which will be published soon.

Although I know of nothing which would reflect unfavorably on Mr. Ikeda's loyalty, I feel that I do not know him well enough myself to stand as sponsor for him. I have asked Dr. David Pressman, in whom I have complete confidence, to write a statement about Mr. Ikeda, which is enclosed. Dr. Pressman has been in close touch with Mr. Ikeda during the past year.

I shall be glad to cooperate with you in any way you desire in this matter.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling

Describes the process they went through setting up and utilizing the punched cards. Describes the problems they have been working on, particularly structural. Recommends the punched card method for other institutions. [Letters from E. C. Schroedel to LP February 25, 1942, from LP to Mr. E. C. Schroedel March 3, 1942] [Filed under LP Correspondence: #368.6]
