- Letter from Hans Thirring to LP, RE: Invites LP to join him in an action toward disarmament. Thirring is trying to start a movement for complete disarmament of neutral countries, beginning with Austria. However, there are some influential people in Austria who do not share Thirring's optimism regarding Khrushchev's attitude. Khrushchev has, in both a speech in Vienna and a letter to Thirring, said that the Soviets are convinced that the ultimate superiority of their system of communism will eventually become clear enough to induce all people to adopt it by their own will, and, therefore, the Soviets will never try to drive other nations into communism by war. Thirring would like Khrushchev to issue a declaration echoing these statements which is unambiguous enough to convince those who doubt his intentions. In order to convince Khrushchev to do this, Thirring wants to send a request to him, signed by a number of prominent scientists, including LP. Thirring's request is enclosed, and a handwritten note in the margin of the letter indicates that LP signed it.
