  Dear Professor Ivekovic:

  I was interested to receive your letter, and to learn about the equations that you have formulated for the electronegativity values of the elements.

  I myself like to see the effort made to develop empirical equations of this sort. It is my opinion that such efforts have in the past often led to discoveries of some significance. In the case of your equations, I would say that I think that the failure to give the original values for chlorine and bromine is a defect. I think that the evidence supporting the original values is satisfactorily strong.

  With best regards for the New Year, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:JH

  Dear Linus:

  I have run across the three enclosed documents that belong to you, and have decided to send them to you.

  Mama and I had a wonderful time visiting you and Anita. We think that it is fine that you should have invited the whole family to come for the holidays. Anita is a wonderful girl.

  We got along very well with the babies on the flight to Los Angeles, and they have continued to thrive.

  Love from

  CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

  PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

  9 January 1959

  Mr. D. Mead Johnson, President

  Mead Johnson

  2505 Pennsylvania Avenue

  Evansville 21, Indiana

  Dear Sir:

  I am writing about a proposed new pharmaceutical product, in the hope that you would be interested in putting it on the market. I may say that I first wrote to Dr. George Rieveschl, Jr., of Parke, Davis and Company, because of the interest that I have in Parke, Davis and my personal acquaintance with Dr. Rieveschl, and it is at his suggestion that I now write to you.

  You know what the situation is about strontium-90. Children now have much more strontium-90 in their bones than adults have, and the amount will continue to increase, even if the bomb tests are stopped, until twenty years from now nearly everybody will have amounts perhaps ten times the present average. If the tests are continued, the amounts will be larger—Dr. Libby in 1955 estimated 24 micromicrocuries per gram of calcium as the equilibrium level corresponding to testing at the average rate for the years before 1955.

  In my book No More War! I have estimated that testing at the recent average age probably will cause about 10,000 people to die of leukemia and bone cancer and possibly 90,000 others by other diseases, for each year of testing. This means that for the United States alone (the above figures are for the whole world) the tests carried out so far can be estimated probably to produce approximately the above number of deaths, during the period of action of the fallout products from these tests.

  The principal damage by strontium-90 from the bomb tests carried out so far will be to people who are infants during the period beginning a few years ago and ending around the year 2000.

  If we assume that 200,000,000 children are born between now and the year 2000, and about 100,000 of them were to incur leukemia, bone cancer, or other disease because of the ingested strontium-90, only about one child in 2,000 would be affected, and the question may be raised as to whether this chance of serious damage to the health of the person justifies taking any measure of protection. I think that the chance of one in 2,000 of having twenty years cut off one's life expectancy in this way is enough to justify some protective effort, even though we must recognize that there is also a possibility that a much smaller number of people will be affected, as discussed in the section beginning on page 96 of my book. For example, the loss in earnings over a 20-year period might be estimated at $100,000, and on this basis an expenditure of $50 (corresponding to a chance of one in 2,000) per person would be justified on the financial basis.

  There is, moreover, another fact to be taken into consideration. Many mothers are now concerned about the fact that strontium-90 is being built into the bones of their children. It might well be worth while to take some action that would relieve their concern to some extent.

  What I propose for your consideration is that you put on the market a preparation of calcium free from strontium-90. This preparation, perhaps calcium dihydrogen phosphate or calcium gluconate, would be in a form such as to permit it to be added to the diet of the infant or child every day—a powder that could be added to milk, for example. If the amount of calcium ingested in this way were equal to the amount ingested from other sources, contaminated with strontium-90, the amount of strontium-90 built into the bones would be cut in half. It is important, of course, that the amount of added calcium not be such as to increase the total calcium intake to such an extent as to have harmful consequences. Possibly the amount of calcium (free of strontium-90) taken in this way could be twice or three times the amount ingested in other ways, so that the amount of strontium-90 built into the bones could be cut to one third or one quarter of the amount that would be built in without treatment.

  It is important also that the preparation be taken by pregnant women.

  In addition to this preparation, I think that the calcium free of strontium-90 should be added to baby foods and baby-food supplements. It may be that a single preparation, some form of baby-food supplement, could be made that would take care of the total intake of strontium-90, including both vegetables and milk.

  Calcium free of strontium-90 is, of course, easily available. Ordinary calcium that has not been exposed to fallout from the atmosphere during recent years contains no strontium-90.

  I shall be interested to hear what your feelings are about this matter. I want to emphasize that in my opinion the preparation would serve a useful purpose in addition to cutting down on the amount of strontium-90 in the bones; namely, the purpose of relieving the minds of mothers, to some extent, about this hazard.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:JH

  Mrs. Ruth Ann Tukey

  1320 Westview

  East Lansing, Michigan

  Dear Mrs. Tukey:

  I am pleased to have received your letter. It would have been fine to have seen you - my wife and I, with all of our descendents, were together in Honolulu over the holidays.

  I shall look forward to talking with your son Harold Jr., when he drops into my office.

  As to our work on chemistry and mental disease, I must say that we are concentrating on chemistry and mental deficiency - not because I am more interested in mentally deficient individuals than in the gifted ones, but because I think that they provide a problem that can be answered by chemical methods, in part, at least, more easily than the general problem of intelligence or the gifted person.

  It is interesting to me that you should say that gifted girls of high school and college age have aspirations that are lower than their potentialities. Perhaps our society does not provide enough opportunity for them. In this respect, it is interesting that about 70 percent of medical students in the U. S. S. R. are women, and (I think) about 30 percent of engineering students. France, too, offers more opportunities for the gifted women than we do.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Dear Mamma,

  Thank you for the pleasant stay with you and for all the good things like Pecan Rolls. I am sorry I left so much behind like that box and my shoes and several small things. I just couldn’t get them in. If you have not posted the box with Vacuum Cleaner yet you might add “Box 10” to the address. I think it does not matter very much.

  I am getting along all right, though running out of clean shirts and socks. There is a lot of work to do; I do not know how I would get it all done if Julia and Thomas were here. We are having entrance examinations and interviews just now; a lot of extra work.

  I had a good trip over. I had three seats on the plane to New York, though just next the engines. The jet over the Atlantic was good fun. 6 X 45! I arrived at 10:00 pm. I got home about 12:30.

  It is now Sunday 8 February, 1959. I regret the delay in my completing this letter.

  I am getting a lot of work done. It is much easier to work hard without Julia and Thomas here. I am staying out late and am here only to sleep. I eat in town and work in the lab. I am really pleased to get a chance to catch up.

  Julia and Thomas should be through pretty soon. The worst of the weather will be over soon here. It has been bloody and I am glad they were not here. Terrible fogs.

  Julia can post my shoes when she comes. I have been wearing one pair of those boots and am pleased to have them in the winter. I am sure it is good treatment for Julia to stay for awhile in Honolulu.

  I went to the National Gallery yesterday. Magnificent place. Very excited about a Botticelli Madonna.

  I like all our wooden spoons. Very much fun. I must try to get a vase or bowl to hold them. I have not really been into town since getting back. I shall go. I am pleased now to have central heating. It makes the place bearable.

  xxxooo

  Love from Peter

  Dear Crellie and Lucy,

  Mommie and I were happy to see you.

  When we got back home we found a letter from President Sullivan, inviting me to give the commencement address. Apparently your nomination of me was favorably received by the senior class. I have written saying that I shall be happy to give the commencement address on 7 June. It will be fine to come to Portland and to be there when you graduate.

  I enclose a card that was signed by everybody except you two. Will you please sign it, and return it to me. It is the one that was sent to Mrs. Auge. Mama thought that you two had signed it. Please do this at once, because I do not want her to know that I forgot about it while we were with you - it was in my pocket.

  Love from

  [Linus Pauling]

  I have checked up with the biologists here about the University of Oregon. Horowitz says that Novick is a very good man. He works in the field of bacterial genetics. Perhaps he has some other things going on, too.

  If there is someone else that you would like me to check up on, please let me know.

  26 January 1959

  Professor Fred Allen

  Chemistry Building

  Purdue University

  Lafayette, Indiana

  Dear Fred:

  I am happy to have received your letter. Ava Helen and I just got back yesterday from a week's trip to Oregon. During the first half of the week I participated in Religious Evaluation Week at Eugene. The University is somewhat unusual in having a Department of Religion, and it was the Professor of Religion who had invited me to come. I was worked very hard—on one of the three days I spoke for six hours. I took over a number of classes during the three days, in subjects such as Far Eastern affairs, psychology, genetics (also the joint physics and chemistry seminar), had three fireside chats in sororities, with another sorority and two fraternities invited in each, participated in the coffee-hour discussion, gave the weekly assembly address and a forum lecture, and talked with many people. Then Ava Helen and I drove up to La Grande, and I gave an assembly talk at Eastern Oregon College. We returned to Portland and flew home.

  I have just received an invitation from Reed College to give the commencement address on Sunday, 7 June 1959 . Crellin will graduate then. I also gave the commencement address at Reed in 1954; when Linda graduated. My subject this time is to be morality.

  We all had a fine time in Honolulu. There were nineteen of us—Ava Helen and I, our four children and their spouses, and nine grandchildren. Peter seems to be happy. He has a permanent job in the University of London—he is Lecturer in Chemistry in University College. He apparently plans to hold it for several years, although we have been hoping that he would get a job in an American university. He teaches the first year lab course in inorganic chemistry, which is partially qualitative and quantitative analysis and partially preparative inorganic chemistry, and he carries on research in the field of x-ray crystallography. He is in Nyholm's department.

  I agree with you that the Purdue exam books were better when they were 8 1/2 x 11 inches. There is not much encouragement offered to a student now to write well.

  I am planning to revise College Chemistry this year, and should like to have your advice. Thanks for the correction on page 176—I have already noted it.

  I am thinking of the possibility of rewriting the book in such a way that the first half or two thirds would be based entirely on the parts of the periodic table involving elements not more than four removed from a noble gas—that is, the two short periods and the corresponding elements in the long periods. The discussion of atomic and molecular structure would also he similary [sic] restricted, and correspondingly simple. Then, in the last part of the hook, the extensions necessary to consider the transition elements would he made. It seems to me that this treatment might make the teaching of modern chemistry considerably simpler than it is at present, when the student is introduced to all of the complexities at one time. What do you think of this idea?

  Also, I should he grateful if you would send me any suggestions that you could, and can find time to.

  Our research program on mental deficiency is moving along well. We think that we have discovered some new diseases that produce mental deficiency. Most mental deficiency remains undiagnosed. To discover the diseases and to understand their chemical nature is the first step toward discovering some treatment.

  It surely is interesting that one of your Purdue boys should have resigned from his job at Reynolds Metal to become superintendent of a Presbyterian children's home. I think that many thoughtful people find the working big organizations to he unsatisfying—perhaps they are not cut out to be organization men.

  Please give our best regards to Erna.

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:LL
