...that assumes a man is a Communist simply because his name is linked with Communists is faulty. In Graham's case, such "evidence" was so obviously misleading that the AEC eventually ignored it as inconclusive. With less well-known people, on the Navy Yard draftsman or Oak Ridge chemist level, it is still damning. It would undoubtedly require a lot more work to dig down well past a man's clubs and organizations and friends and find out if he is a Communist or not. But this work is essential. Otherwise we are going to lose a lot of very...
...talk was not enough. For Weizmann, the chemist, Zionism was "something organic, which had to grow like a plant." The plant, he felt, could grow only in Palestine and only by physical Jewish achievements in Palestine. He based his philosophy of action on Goethe's famous saying...
...British statesman Lord Balfour met a young Russian-Jewish chemist. For more than an hour, he listened while the young man in passionate broken English tried to explain what Zionism was all about.

Getting down to organizing themselves, the delegates proved that they had already learned a good deal about the facts of democratic life. They adroitly outmaneuvered the inevitable leftist clique and elected their officers by pressure-proof secret balloting. Chemist Naoto Kameyama of Tokyo University was chosen president. Second vice president is world-famed Physicist Yoshio Nishina, who wept when U.S. soldiers demolished his cyclotron...
Problems of Chemistry. Dr. Pitzer's youth is no handicap in the still-young world of atomic energy, but the fact that he is a chemist rather than a physicist may surprise a good many scientists. The AEC's official explanation is that the work of the commission's laboratories is tending more & more toward chemistry. One of the urgent tasks is getting uranium out of low-grade ores. Another: chemical separation of the dangerous radioactive byproducts of plutonium manufacture. Says Dr. Pitzer: "The problems holding up the Atomic Energy Commission are chiefly chemical ones. The problems...
