...Russia last summer indicated that the estimate was wrong. President Truman's September announcement that Russia had produced an atomic explosion fathered continuing military demands that the AEC concentrate almost entirely on making bombs and improving them. Other questions which Lilienthal worked over while in office were international atomic controls (Russia and the U.S. promptly put forth apparently incompatible plans), and the role of private industry in the atomic program (there are strong and stubborn lobbies still working to get a large part of AEC production and development under their own control...
Just over a week ago, President Truman regretfully accepted Lilienthal's resignation. This loss leaves the AEC looking for a chairman to carry it through what will probably be a tremendous period of expansion. We are now committed to an atomic armament race until some sort of an international control is created. This means increased production and hopped-up bombs; rumors of a six-times-more-powerful-than-Nagasaki weapon have been indirectly confirmed by the forthcoming Eniwetok tests. Electric generators run by atomic piles are well off the drawing boards; so are propulsion units for ships and even aircraft...
...present of the madman--plus the involved personal relationships of each, it is difficult to follow. One becomes further confused by the difficult of the play's idea. But at no time is the play dull. Mr. Keith, as Henry IV, acts with brilliant, sometimes incredible, imagination and control. At one point in the play, he held the audience's complete attention for at least fifteen minutes. The Brattle Company, no doubt inspired by working with such an actor, was in fine form. Bryant Halliday, Will West, Jerry, Kilty and a guest actress, Kathryn Eames, were especially good. Robert...
Finally on October 14, a Department spokesman announced that a joint Western plan would be forth-coming providing for atomic control, disarmament, and a general peace settlement. When the plan was presented on November 14, however, it was nothing of the kind. It was, instead, only a series of clauses seemingly directed against Russian policies and actions, in the U.N. and out. Thus, when the Committee voted for the plan, it merely voted against Russian, and for the West, and little also of a positive nature. The West indeed won a prestige victory, but it did not win peace...
...Oriental country, we luckily have no qualms about "losing face" over a political situation. Any face that we might have saved was lost with the State Department's unprecedented white paper on China. Our Chinese policy has been a ghastly flasco, partly through our mistaken and partly beyond our control. The Communists have us just where they want us, and recognition is the best...
