...ttingen last week, cheerful, bushy-browed Dr. Werner Heisenberg, a top German physicist and winner of the 1932 Nobel Prize, said that Russia had made a standing offer of $6,000 a year to any German atomic scientist who would work for the U.S.S.R...
Heisenberg had declined, but he named others who had not. While the U.S. had imported over 200 German scientists, mostly in the rocket and aviation field (TIME, Dec. 9), there were still thousands of cold, hungry scientists in Germany to whom Russia's offer might well appeal.

...very phrase "educators' conference" suggests somehow a group of limp, ineffectual men who foregather periodically to offer noble, impractical suggestions to universities which receive them in stony silence. Actually, educators are capable of saying things that need listening to and the conclusions of last week's conference including Dean Emeritus Roscoe Pound-which met at Princeton, were bright, forthright, and in large measure need acting on. Their big, blunt theme is that the world's universities are "strongholds of nationalism," that, "so long as this is true, universities actually can unwittingly promote war," and that "they should have one responsibility...
