- Letter from A. Topchiev, E. Federov, and D. Skobeltsin to LP, D. Inglis, and Jay Orear, RE: (In Russian, with typed English translation) The Russian scientists have received the American Scientists' telegram concerning the Geneva negotiations about the cessation of nuclear weapons tests. They share the American scientists' concern about the course of the negotiations, but disagree about the reasons of conditions at the conference. They feel that the U.S. and England are responsible for the complication of the conference, and their main issue deals with having a panel of three people (one each from the USSR, U.S., and England) in charge of inspection vetoes, as opposed to a single official. [Filed under LP Correspondence: (T: Individual Correspondence. (Topchiev-Tyler)), #408.1]
- Letter from AHP to Hannah Bernheim-Rosenzweig, RE: Encloses a copy of the Oslo Statement and says that the SANE appeal has been issued after their appeal and was concerned with the stopping of nuclear testing in 1961. Mentions LP’s petition in 1957, signed by some 11,000 scientists internationally, that was able to bring the three nuclear powers to halt testing in a formal agreement. States that their appeal is of equal importance. Urges Rosenzweig to attend the San Francisco conference, and would be willing to raise funds to help cover the fare.

- Letter from LP To Harold Strauss, Editor in Chief, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., RE: LP read 92 pages of the proofs, and does not like the book. He is opposed to superficiality, which is in both the writing and the knowledge of this book. Lists problems that he found with the material and writing. The book is of little value, and the author should not be compared to C.P. Snow.

- Letter from LP to Donald Harrington, RE: LP would like to have Harrington explain why he thinks that LP’s use of the term “McCarthyism” is wrong in reference to Sane.

- Letter from LP to Homer Jack, RE: LP points out to Jack this is not the first time that he has raised the implementation question. LP first raised this question nearly a year ago and has not ceased to stop working on it. LP’s letter to the Sponsors and members of the National Board of Directors was written because of Jack’s publication of an advertisement on May 23rd that included the names of the sponsors. LP was sure that some of those sponsors would no support the implementation statement and he felt the need to inform them that the implementation statement was still in effect.
