  Dr. Paul G. Nahin

  331 Carroll Park West

  Long Beach 14, California

  Dear Dr. Nahin:

  I shall look forward to seeing you at sometime in the near future.

  The question that you raise as to how it is possible for an employee-scientist to contribute effectively to the struggle against war and depression is a very difficult one. I don't know that there is any really sound solution. I feel that it is necessary to compromise — that is, for each man to do what he can, without taking any action that would cause him to become a martyr. I trust that you understand that I do not mean that a man should compromise with his principles, but that he should rather recognize that the practical action that he takes should be of such a nature as to be effective, or his principles will have no value.

  With best regards for the New Year, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

• Pauling delivers his presidential address to the American Chemical Society in which he urges American industrial corporations to support a scientific research foundation that will insure them a steady supply of new products. He also makes clear that he is not sympathetic with the aims of the American Medical Association, for he feels that “a system of socialized medicine in the United States may well be desirable.” Pauling's address causes criticism from both the liberals and conservatives in and outside of the scientific community.

  Dear Professor Raman:

  I am very pleased and honored to have been elected an Honorary Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, and I express my appreciation to you and your colleagues in the Indian Academy of Sciences.

  I am glad to accept the Honorary Fellowship in the Academy. It will be useful to me to have the Proceedings and other publications of the Academy close at hand. I read the copies in our library from time to time, and I shall look forward to having this easier contact with the progress of scientific research in India.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,
