Gellhorn's solution to the morass into which loyalty and security provisions have plunged the nation's laboratories is a program which would (1) be confined to scientific work which was very closely connected with national defense and (2) put the burden of proof on those measures which would tighten security rules. Such "scandals" as the Fuchs spy case emphasize the need for intensive measures directed against espionage, not heterodoxy. The extensive loyalty investigations and "black-lists" have turned up no spies, Gellhorn asserts, but have dangerously weakened the morale of our scientists and our confidence in free inquiry...
...organization was denied further use of this location, and the equipment subsequently retired to the Geographical Institute. These were hard years for the club, and were to lead to its eventual collapse. Students operated from their room on smaller sets during this period, as a morass of red tape prevented free usage of the set in its location at the Institute. The University never owned this building, and the only way in which hams could legally use the set was in conjunction with an obscure geographical course calling for familiarity with radio equipment. The set was not available most...

Sometimes a process involving a complicated equation with many variables must be repeated thousands or hundreds of thousands of times. Often the scientist gives up in despair. Many important lines of research have bogged down in a morass of figures...
